great preference as TO the season of cut
ting. Timber. to be good. should be
cut soon after it has made its growth
for the season; then the sap has formed
into wood. leaving it comparatively
dry: but if cut the latter part of winter
or the first of spring the sap is flowing
up through all parts of the wood in such
quantities as to make it very difficult to
dry it: hence its increased liability to
decay.
Farmers who cut their own fence
posts should look ahead far enough TO
enable them 10 cut them at the right
time. and have them seasoned when
they want them for use.
For reasons that do not appear very
clearly to us. it is found by experiment
that posts will last longer if the top be
set in the ground. Some give As a rea-
son for this that the moisture from the
earth is more readily drawn mp in a post
set in the natural way, than if reversed.
Admitting this to he true, and that the
water thus drawn up causes the post to
decay. why will not the descending rain
enter the large end of the post, when
reversed. and keep the post even more
moist than when set the other end up?
is question that has often occurred TO
us. But whatever the cause, there
seems to be good evidence that post
set top down will last longer than one
set the butt end down.
The more difficult it becomes to get
fence posts the closer should be the at
tention paid to cutting, seasoning and
setting. -WasSachuSettS HionghnidH.
