Settling Fence Posts.

Posts that are to be placed in a
clay soil which is liable to heave by
the action of FROST will retain their
original position longer if they are
set in dug holes instead Of being
driven. Unless all the sharpened
portion is placed below the action Of
the frost, and even then, if at the
time of freezing the soil is soaked
with water, the action of frost is
liable to ra Sc the post upward. How
ever, as soon as the frost leaves the
soil few blows on top of the post
with a heavy maui will return it to
its original depth, which could not
be so easily done if the post was
square at the bottom, as earth would
fall in the cavity. On most soils
sharI ened posts are best, and when
of durable material like cedar, oak,
or chestnut. and where the fencing
material is wire, a post four in, hes
in diameter will last as long and be
just as serviceable as one six or more
inches in diameter, and the cost is
usually less.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The annual report
of Secretary Carlisle of the treasury de-

Tuesday. 1t will be an unusually impor-
tant document, as it will contain in detail
whatever of financial legislation will be
recommended to congress by the admins
tration. The views set forth by Secretary
Carlisle have already been read to the
President and met with his approval so
that the President, aside from calling at
tention to the financial recommendations
contained in Secretary Carisle's report,
is not expected to treat of this subject ex-
haustively as he has done in former mes
sages. 1t is impossible to foresee Secre-
tary Carlisle's recommendations, but from
the secrecy observed to prevent an ink
ling of them reaching the public. and the
care taken in printing the proof slips they
are believed to be important and radical.
