Preserving Fence.POsts.

An English farmer writes: After all
that has been advanced In favor of other
compounds, it is very doubtful for or
binary country work whether there is
anything handler, cheaper, or move ef-
fective than common coal-tar for coat
ing fences and other wood it is desired
to protect from the effects of tho
weather. Much, however, will depend
on the way in which it is used. To
cover moist wood with this substance,
whether it proceeds from tho natural
moisture or atmospheric dampness, is
very bad policy. 10 insure anything
like successes In the matter Of durability
the wood to be operated upon must DO
as dry as possible. This, of course, in
equally true of paint, but it is of tar
that we are now speaking. When the
woodwork to be coated is as dry as can
be, and the tar applied hot, there need
be little fear that it fail in its pur-
pose. The chief difficulty lies in the
matter of posts ut the surface of tho
soil. Many plans have been tried to over
come the decay which almost invariably
sets in here first. Even here tar is
valuable; bat according TO experiments
which have been made to test the best
method of applying il, it appears that
the most satisfactory results have boen
obtained when the wood is charred. As
to the way in which this charging should
be effected, there seems to he scope for
ingenuity. One gentleman has tried
the plan of first covering the extremi-
ties of the posts, which arc set in tho
soil, and then burning the tar off again.
This, it is alleged, makes surface
which Will resist decay. If this is SO.
the operation is simple and is worth
trying. The charming should be- car
ried to some distance above tho ground
level, and after the fence is erected the
whole of it above the ground can be
coated to make the appearance uni
form. The plan of first heating the
ends of posts and then dipping,them in
boiling tar is said TO answer we'll.

Of my nerve and gall to bear up under.
Ever since I've been on the road I've
made it principle to meet all engage
ments More than once have / skipped
three or four towns in which | was sure
of selling big bills of goods in order to
keep my engagement to some girl or
ether. When 1 agree to be at certain
place ut given minute, YOU can bet
your last dollar I'll be there. Well,
the other day landed in st. Louis,
andsuddenly discovered that in q moment
of forgetfulness 1 had promised to take
two girls to the theater that night. The
girls were not acquainted, either. 1
hate liar andfa sneak, and the girls
brothers were customers of mine; and
so, after thinking the whole thing over,
made up my mind I'd live up to my
contract. SO bought my seats at two
theaters, engaged my carriage. and pre-
pared for the campaign. L sent word
to the first one that I'd call for her
rather early, and to the other that L
might be a little late. / whirled No.
oil, seated her, excused myself, for
minute before the rising of the curtain,
slipped out, and in two seconds the
horses were on run for No. 2. / got
her in her seat FIVE minutes after the
curtain rose. Stayed the act out, ex-
cused myself, went back to the other,
apologized, and everything was all
right. 1 spent the evening fitting
from one to the other, and got my
moneys worth out of the hackman, as
/ made him hump, made inquiries
as to the hour the plays would be over,
and found 1 had twenty-five minutes
leeway. Then l made such good use
of those twenty-five minutes that /
got No. home and was back after No2
Just as the curtain went down. To do
this cost me $l2, and the next day had
to skip out of town because the hack
man was after me with bill for one of
his horses which had died from over
driving; but not till after / had sold
big bills of goods to the girls brothers.
Pesides, had the satisfaction of per-
forming an unparalleled feat IN the
theater-going business. That's the
kind of q hustler am.r-Chicago
