BIYrHE's idea of preserving wood with
creosote-saturatei steam has been very
successfully carried out. The process is
very simple and efficient. The apparatus
consists Of high-pressure steam boiler,
another boiler containing the creosote,
with a vat filled with creosote, to supply
it by means of pump; sheet.iron cylin-
ders where the pieces of timber are in
je e,ted, and u system of tubing connecting
the boilers and the cylinders. The steam
opens the pores Of the wood, and the
creosote is left deposited in the cells.
When the wood comes out it is very plia.
BILE, and can be bent into any desired
shape, but it soon hardens and becomes
very rigid. Wood thus created very eff
fectualy resists the deteriOrating infu-
ence of moisture and of various insects
and worms.

MORE ON TURNIPs.-The Country Gen
Aeman says turnips may be grown in less
time, and at less expense of labor and
fertility Of soil, than any other root or
tubes grown on the farm, and for the table
of feeding to stock they fill want often
otherwise unsupplied. One great advan,
t.ge to the general farmer is that the
crop may be put in after other hoed crops
are well along, or where such may have
failed from any cause. The product, too,
is usually abundant for the space occu-
pied. All kinds of stock are fond Of
them, especially during winter, and not
only so, but they thrive and lay on fat
faster when fed on turnips, in connection
with other feed, than when they are de.
prived of succulent food. However low
in the scale of nutrition science may place
the turnip, there can be no disputing ac-
tual experience in their feeding results.
Straw with turnips may be made to fill a
want of hay for much farm stock. Well
decomposed manure or some approved
fertilizer should be applied AS . dressing
to the soil previous to sowing the seed.
Drill culture has the advantage over
b. oadcast in that the crop may be cult
vrted and kept free of weeds, aud with
greater certainty Of good, sizable roots in
greater abundance.
