To preserve fence posts, heat gas tar
in a large kettle or boiler, being careful
not to set it on fire, and then place the
lower end of the posts in this hot tar
for a few minutes, treating this way

post, and especially the part to be I'M
der ground, should be thoroughly dosed
with crude petroleum and the gas tar
will keep it in.

of the buffalo in constitution and vigor
and they have evidently come to stay.
Reports from the various ranges of
