TO TREAT TIES.
Factory in T=xas Has Scheme
Which EnIivens Them Yesrs.

Which Enlivens Them Yesrs.
Chicago. Dec. SO-A new impetus has
been given the demand for preserved
railroad ties.
The Chicago company. of which Ed
ward T. Aver is at the head has lust
undertaken TO add so per cent to the
capacity of the Texas plant at which
pine ties are treated with a chemical
process which not only more than dou-
bles the life of a tie. but renders soft
wood 2Vaila bic for tie purposes The
plant is located at Somerville and is
Known as the Texas Tie and Lumber
Preserving company The ties are load
ed on a train OF trucks. which are run
into a great sealed iron cylinder 1O9
1eet long and six feet in diameter. The
air is pumped out and the vacuum
serves to open the pores of the ties.
They are then treated to an injection
of chloride OF zinc. after which the
pores are filled up with a preparation
of glue and tannin, injected into the
retOrt under a pressure of 100 pounds
to the square inch.
Twelve hours are required to treat
a train load of ties and about 5000 are
treated in day. The plant IS now
equipped with four retOrts and two
more are being built.
For several years tie timber has been
getting scarce and the railroads recOE-
niZed that something must be done to
meet the emergency. The treating of
soft wood was begun and continued un-
I'll the experimental stage has been
passed. and the Southern Pacific San
Ia Fe and Rock Island companies are
now using the treated ties. Untreated
western mountain pine lasts four or
five years.
After being put through the chemical
process they last from ten to twelve
years. Some Of the reads are Operat-
ing plants of their own, at which all
the ties they use are put through the
process

HAPPY DAYS AMONG THE HILLS.

Every quaint, expectant culver
Of the willows in the vale,
Every curve along the river,
Every note borne on the gale,
Every glimpse of flashing fountains,
Every wild rose on the hill,
Every sunset on the mountains
recall and love them still.
Oft tread those pleasant places,
Dwell upon those tender themes,
See again those smiling faces
Welcoming me in my dreams,
And those blissful memories haunt me
When with disappointment crossed,
And my tolls and troubles taunt me
With the joys that have lost.
Often when think of all those
Scenes my heart with sadness fills,
And, regretful, recall those
Happy days among the hills.
Inspirations fair unnumbered
Smiled upon those hills serene,
Many dream of pleasure slumbered
In those peaceful valleys green.
What are fame and proud position
When the heart is ill at easeP
Where the good of high ambition
When compared to such as these?
Ever l recall in vain those
Rambles by the laughing rills,
And in my dreams live again those
Happy days among the hills.

TO DEATH.

o death. of sin the fatal foe,
The dread and blight of those below.
Who only earthly pleasures know,
o cruel DEATH
To eyes of faith how changed thou artl
Thou bringest peace into the heart,
While sin and death for aye depart,
o friendly DEATH
When, through bereavement, we our eyes
Turn, for the first time, to the skies,
Thou art blessing in disguise,
o miscalled DEATH
Thou art of faiths farreaching chain
The pearly clasp that knits the gain
OF heaven to earth's want and pain,
0 precious death!
Thou art the dawn from this dark night.
Thou dost long parted friends unite.
For doubt and trust thou givest sight
o blessed DEATH
But, dearest to our hearts for this,
Thou art the first to give the bliss
OF seeing Christ, whom here we miss,
o glorious DEATH

Cornell's Pine Lands.

Mr.. Robertson told me the story Of
Cornell university and the investments
in Wisconsin pineries In 1923 the
federal government appropriated unsold
public lands for the use Of agricultural
colleges in the proportion Of 10000
acres for each congressman. Much Of
the scrip was soon frittered away by
most Of the states at less than 60 cents
an acre. The territory apportioned to
New York state amounted to 80, 900
acres, and the legislature Of that state
jumped at the proposition when Mr..
Cornell offered to buy the lands then
available at the highest market price,
80 cents an acre.
The bulk Of this estate was in the
pine forests Of Wisconsin and has been
so judiciously managed that the property
is now said to yield something like ST.
900 a day. Cornell university has al
ready received from the sale Of timber
aud resale Of certain lands between a.

Terrible Deficiency of Wheat Abroad.

America TO Supply the World.
Late advices from Washington, based
on reports of government experts, report
that the shortage in the worlds wheat
crop will reach the starvation figure OF
112,000,000 bushels. America is relied
upon to supply the deficiency out of our
grand product of 460,OO0,O0O. This de.
ficiency can, with some aid of the rye and
corn crop, be made up, but who could
supply to the sick and debilitated def
cenoy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

promptly helpful medicine adequate to
the relief of the dyspeptic, the constipat-
ed, the bilious and the rheumatic. 1t
