WIEN TO CUT TIMBER.

A timber cut for purposes where
durability is consideration is worth
from two to four times as much if cut
between July Is and August Is as
the same would be cut in January to
April. If a tree is cut after the starch
which enters into'its chemical compo-
sition has changed to sugar, say in
March, the worms, being very fond of
this sweet, become destructive to the
wood; but If cut in July, after the
completion of the spring growth,
there is no sugar in the sap or wood
and they seek some more savory food.
Another reason is because if cut
when the sap is rich in sugar the fer
incentive process changes the sugar in
to az acid, which is the very first
stage of decay, and if decay is thus
early initiated is it any wonder that
posts and ties do not last as they
world IT cut when these conditions
could not possibly exist?
In 1860 fence was set with post
split from an oak cut when the leaves
were Of full size and vigor. Twenty
two years afterward this fence was re.
set with posts cut in August. The
posts taken up were reset elsewhere,
and most of them are doing duty yet
Three of the posts set in 1860 are in
good condition, after doing good SER
vice for thirty-six years. AS rule, a
post cut in March, when full of sugar
sap, will last only ten years. 1t costs
just as much to replace tie or post
that will last, say, ten years as to re-
place one that will last three or four
times that long. This is quite con-
sidera.ion when We consider that our
forests are fast disappearing -much
faster than they are reproduced.
Timber land cut off in from January
to April will sprout and grow again,
because the sap at this season of the
year is rich in sugar to reproduce the
leaves, which are the lungs as we'll as
digestive organs of vegetation, but if
cut the lat Of July or the first half of
August dies because deprived Of both.
This idea is valuable to those who
wish to destroy certain kinds Of trees
or to clean UP brush land.

The bill of John Kenny, amounting to
about $1,000, for the placing Of a new

was referred back to the committee on
claims after some discussion. Secre-
tary Tong, of the board of control, in
formed the board that the additional
cost of 5000, above the mere cost of
the boiler, was due to the fact that
the old boilers had to be reset.
Commissioner Quehl objected to the
bill for other reasons. There was a
law, he declared, which provided that
no county or city official could make
a contract with the city or county for
public work. He delared that Aid.
Kenny was a member of the firm sup

Daniel Burgoyne pleaded guilty before
Judge Willis yesterday morning of
burglary in the third degree in break
ing into the establishment of the Beld-
ing Bros. Silk company. Judge Willis
imposed a sentence of eighteen months
at hard labor in the state prison. Bur-
goyne seemed to think that fortune
favored him judging from the tone and
manner with which he thanked the
court. The leniency of the court was
due to the fact that Burgoyne is suf-
fering with some pulmonary trouble

lis remarked, that his term of service
would have been made considerably
longer. Burgoyne's partner, John Cor
coran, who was tried and convicted

years. Burgoyne took the stand yes
