TIMBER FOR POSTS.
The Trees Rest Suited for This Pur-
pose Are Red Cedar, white
Cedar and Common Locust.

For five years the Vermont expert
ment. station has been trying to raise
the very best timber for fence posts
on the most worthless soil from an ag-
ricultural standpoint, and it has had
remarkable success. The three com
mon trees, best suited for posts. are
the red cedar, the white cedar and the
common locust. Seedlings from nine
varieties of trees, including the above,
were planted in the driest tract of
level sand plain east Of Burlington.
where the pitch pine is the only tree
that makes a vigorous natural growth.
Here the white pine did fairly well, but
the locust far outstripped all others.
OF several thousand seedlings set out
last spring when less than a foot high,
80 per cent. are now alive and three
feet or o in height, with vigorous
tops. Twenty year old trees near by
have a diameter averaging nine inches
at the base of a clean shaft averaging
25 feet. Each of these trees will fur
nish three fence posts and some fire
wood. A thousand trees can be,plant-
ed to the acre, and the seedlings cost
only $3.50 per thousand. The only
source of trouble is the borer; this
may be greatly reduced by planting oc-
c%asional rows Of white pine among the
locusts. On the whole locust fence
posts may be considered a very val
cable product of otherwise worthless
soil.

THE 0 q DIRT ROAD.
Il Cannot Exist Where Surface and
subaurface Drainage Are Not
CompIete.


The first and most important es-
sential for a good dirt road is thor
ough drainage. Drainage to be thor
ough must not only take off the sur
face water bus also the sub-surface
moisture.
To have a dry and solid surface on
a dirt road there must be beneath
the surface a subsoil that is not sat
urated with water. No matter how
well the roadbed be graded up, I'm
less ample provision is made for
thoroughly and speedily draining out
the subsurface moisture the road
will become muddy after every
heavy rain-if the rains continue
such roads become impossible.
While open bitches at the sides of
the road will carry off the surface
water, they will not drain the road
bed speedily enough to prevent mud
and preclude sponginess, the condi-
ton SO wearying to draft animals
and detrimental to heavy hauling.
To afford quick and effective drain
age a line of .six-inUh tile should be
laid in the center of the road below
the reach of frost.
In the level land where the soil is
loose and porous such a tile so laid
in a graded roadbed would drain a
track 40 feet wide. AS open side
bitches, constructed so as to give a
continuous and u-nobstructed flow of
water, will not only carry off the sur
face water but also aid in draining
off subsurface moisture, the addition
of the six-inch tile as here suggested
will speedily and thoroughly drain
the roadbed.
The distance which such a tile
drain can be run without outlet will
depend upon the lay and character
of the land, varying from 80 to sc
rods. In very fat land, where not
convenient to obtain frequent out.
let's, two six-inch tiles may be laid
side and side of each other, which
win permit a longer distance be,
tween outlets; but the outlets should
be sufficiently numerous to rapidly
drain out all subsurface water.
A roadbed cannot be thoroughly
drained when the side bitches are Sc
smnll that the water stands in pools
or sink holes and only escapes BY
absorption or evaporation.
~vnere SURFACE and s~ubsurfaci
drainage IRE complete, good dir
roads may be had. Where they ar,
not good it is impossible to hav,
good dirt roads.-Farmers' Voice.

Lealzn Thnt lead to Ruln.

Among the leaks which take money
out of the farmers pocket is neglect in
keeping fences and buildings in proper
repair. Inferior fences allow his own
and his neighbours stock to injure his
crops, and are a source of constant
worry and loss of time. The old prov
erb, For the want of a nail the horse
was lost" is very appropriate in such
q case. A dollar or two spent in lum-
Der or nails will often result in a large
saving of feed and increased comfort
TO the stock during the winter months.
Neglect of a leaky roof is often respon-
sibIe for heavy losses Of grain or fod-
der, and in the timbers of the build
ings. Many a good frame has been ru-
ined by a leaky roof.-Farmers' Voice.

TELEPHONES on ARMS

IN Extending the social Life
Of HuraI DlstrIets.


Talk about il as we may, and consid-
ering every other excuse we may offer,
the social side of his nature is what has
driven the young man from the farm
to the town in perhaps nine cases out
of ten. To the fact that the isolation
of the farm, under the influence of Hat
ter-day invention, is becoming more
and more a thing of the pest, sin large
part due the distinct movement, which
now is recognized everywhere, back to
the farm. Among the first Of these is
the farmers telephone, which to-day
is exerting such a fine influence in ex-
tending the social life of rural dis
tricts, annihilating distance and bring
ing the voices of the men and women
and young folk Of the neighborhood
farms, neal and remote, to the ear in
familiar and pleasant converse, light
ing up the hour, once 50 dreary with
sheer lonesomeness, and peopling the
home with kindred spirits.
There are some other things which
do much for the farm IN a social and
business way-the trolley, for instance.
But the trolley means the Investment
of many thousands of dollars. Not so
with the telephone. A few dollars in-
vested in wire, i~nsulators, t~ransmitter
and receiver, a few days work in set
ting out poles and striBging of wires,
and prestol the world is at your call
We know of one Wisconsin farmer
whose telephone cost him $40, and he
has connection with city and county
phones, is a director in one Farmers
Telephone company which has 60 miles
of wire of its own, and one or two sales
made on the Chicago market, as a re-
suit of having the phone in his house,
paid for the outfit many times over. In
his case the telephone vas not only
not an expense, but a source Of large
gain, and we are confident this has
provedsto be the case III thousands of
instances.
Every farmer should have a tele-
phone in his house. Meme may enum-
crate its advantages nor catalogue its
uses. It not only encourages sociabil-
ity, it creates it in many a life; it
brings the doctor within call; the mer.
chant is always at hand; it saves many
a weary journey and gives to real serv.
ice many an hour that otherwise must
have been lost. Now is the time to put
