PROLONGNING LIFE OF NINE PROP
An Enormous Saving in the Cost of
Coal Mining Can be Affected
by the Use Of Preservative
Treatments.
(By E. C.>Snyder.)

Washington, D. G., Dec. 5.-One Of
the biggest expenses connected with
coal mining is found in the mine
timbers used to seaport; the various
gangways. Their destruction by de-
cay and breaking costs many hundreds
of thousands Of dollars annually, and
in some cases the loss of human life.
Mine operators are fully familiar with
these losses. They know also that
the seasoning and preservative treat
ment Of timber add to its life in service
In the mine. But it has only recently
been established by experiment that
effective seasoning and treatment with
creosote, carbolinium and zinc chloride
as wood preservatives can be secured
at a cost SO slight in proportion to
the greatly increased life Of the props
as to effect material saving. The
experiment carried on during the past
few months by the Philadelphia AMI
Reading Coal and Iron company at its
collieries near Pottsville, Pa, under
the direction of member of the for
est service, has resulted in an economy
which demonstrates that the preserva-
ton of mine props can be put on a
firm commercial basis.
In the loss of mine timbers at least
sixty per cent. are destroyed by decay
and the remainder by crush. The per-
centage charged to decay should be
even higher because many of the tim
bers which break have already been
weakened by decay. Decay is probably
the cause Of seventy-iive per cent. of
all failures in mine timbers.
Decay in props is principally caused
by Notwithstanding fungi. Warm,
moist air, together with certain gases
always found in mines, greatly faver
the development of these fungi. Venti-
lation is an enormous factor. Timber
in the vicinity Of shafts and slopes
where there is abundance of fresh air
lasts longer than that deeper In the
mines. The variation of moisture and
temperature within mines is so wide
that timbers may decay In eight months
or may last several years. Timbers
that are constantly wet or constantly
dry last longer than those subjected
to an alteration Of these conditions.
Insects play very considerable part
in the destruction Of mine timbers
Many forms are found, including bark
borers, ants and timber worms. Their
presence may be due to allowing logs
to lie unpeeled for considerable time
after telling. Insect-infested timber is
frequently overlooked by the inspec-
tors and allowed to go inside the
mines. Ants and cerambycid borers
may attack props after they go in the
mine. There decay spreads rapidly,
and the destructive work OF the insects

THE ALDERMEN WILL MAKE SOME
INVESTIGATIONS ON MILK INSPECTION

That the members of the city coun-
Gil are going to do some investigating
during the present month in regard to
milk inspection and milk conditions
In Grand Forks is certain. The meet.
ing Of the council Monday evening re-
suited in q Weakening up of interest
on the question. and during the month
the aldermen will gather bit of In
formation relative to the merits of an
inspection. and also get other infor-
nation on the proposition.
AS was provided by y resolution
passed by the council Monday night
an appropriation of 800 was made
for the purpose Of making tests on a

appears to be in no way affected by the
lack of light or by the presence of
gases. Creosote and carbolinium are
effective insecticides and stop the work
of the wood borers.
A mine prop is composed of three
parts. which together form set
two uprights, called legs, across the
top of which is a crosspiece, called
collar. After prop is decayed SUM-
GENTLY to necessitate its removal, 1t is
replaced. At times. when only one leg
Is decayed, that leg alone is removed
and replaced by new one Frequently
however, the whole set is replaced, and
this involves the destruction Of all
the logs by saving them in two to
remove them.
Various materials and methods for
preservative treatment have been tried,
and up to the present time all have
proved efficient. Only time will show
which are the most satisfactory from
the practical point of view. Applied
with brush, creosote and carbolinium
give an excellent penetration in solid
wood, frequently averaging from one
fourth to one-half an inch. The amount
of oil that seasoned loblolly pine takes
from a brush application is surprising,
especially in the end grain. Little
difference in penetration has as yet
been noted between creosote and car
bolinium, though the latter seems bet
ter on absolutely green timber. All
brush treatments were applied hot and
In two coats. The second coat absorb
ed practically as much oil as the
first.
Open tank treatment has succeeded
beyond all expectations. This consists
of an immersion of the timbers for
several hours in preservative and then
allowing them to cool to atmospheric
temperature. While the feasibility Of
the open tank treatment has been
demonstrated, there is much yet to
be learned. The cost may be reduced
by shortening the immersion and thus
consuming less fluid. A very heavy
treatment is not necessary. The best
preservatives approximately double the
serviceable life of railway ties, and
may be counted on to do the same or
better for mine props. Seasoned and
treated props which were put in along
side Of the old style props unseasoned
and unpeeled, are as sound as ever,
while the others are already showing
signs of fungous growth and decay.
Most of the props in the collieries
investigated are loblolly pine. Penn
sylvania pitch pine furnishes twenty
per cent; black and red oak ten per
cent. The loblolly pine comes from
Maryland and Virginia, the pitch pine
from north central Pennsylvania. and
the oak largely from New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. The experiments have
been largely on loblolly pine. the wood
most used.

J. ]. HILL BELIEVES IN
DEMONSTRATION FARMS

the farmers of the state coming from
this work, and it will grow as the
years go by. President Worst is now
at work on the report of these expert
ments, but is handicapped by the fact
that there are no funds available to
send out this document-as there
should be at least $4,000 copies printed
and sent generally to the farmers of
the state.
The work has been so successful
that Mr.. Worst intends to ask the
legislature for at least $4,000 for next
year, so that at least eighteen demon
stration stations can be established In
different parts Of the state, and a
full report printed of the results Of
each of these for the benefit Of the
working farmers.
One Of the greatest needs today in
connection with agricultural expert
ments, education and development Is
declared by President Worst to be the
practical application of the results
of scientific research, 80 that the every
day farmer may thoroughly compre-
bend the methods and adopt the same.
The federal government insists that
most Of the work Of experimental sta
tione, as we'll as the bulletins published
by them. shall take up the scientific
aspects Of the subjects under consider
alton. These demonstration farms
would assist greatly in filling the gap,
especially II facilities were furnished
to disseminate the results thoroughly
over the state.
Agriculture is pre-emintely the lead
ing industry in this state, and every
possible help should be given to make
the cultivation practical, giving the
farmer all he can possibly secure from
his efforts, directed into the best avail
able channels. A practical demonstra-
ton to the eye, as these demonstra-
ton farms are to the farmers of the
vicinity. backed up by reports written
should be the means of adding millions
of dollars to the annual production Of
North Dakota.

The current issue of The Century
Magazine has an article by President
Hill of the Great Northern calling at
tention to the fact that the present
need Of the agricultural communities
today Is something which they have
not now got-demonstration stations
where the farmers can see Just how
experiments are conducted by scien-
lists and have q practical demonstra-
ton to the eye of how the work should
be done. Some Of the papers have al
ready taken up this subject and called
attention to this want.
1t Is probable that Mr.. Hit meant
that the farmers of the country gener-
ally did not have this aid, as he has
personal knowledge that In North
Dakota this need has been supplied,
and 1t is believed that this state ia the
only one which has undertaken this
work.
The idea occurred to President
Worst of the state agricultural college
last winter while on the seed grain
trains in the northern part of the
state, and he Immediately communi-
Gated the suggestion to the railroads
Of the state and asked for their aid,
as there were no state funds appro-
priated for such an enterprise, and
federal funds cannot be used for such
purposes. even II they were avail
able. The management of the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific both
thought favorably of the plan, and
offered to bear the expenses of three
farms on each line, to be selected by
President Worst, divided as far as
possible, so as to cover different con-
ditions.
The stations occupied this year were
at Beach, New Salem and Bismarck
on the Northern Pacific and Ross,
Granville and Lakota on the Great
Northern. In consequence of all the
work being done this spring, the ex-
.periments could not be made as COM
plete as If the plan had been started
in the fall, but there is much value to

with and informed the police that they

Communication with the mill estab-
lished the fact that the boy had not
been there. Red, who is a negro

ficting stories about how he came in
to possession of the clothes. He at

to be hoped to be able to make the tu-

are made, to withhold the name OF the
owner of the herd in which the dis

Milk inspection is regarded by all
as a most important matter and the
present month will see considerable
discussion on the subject. The dairy
men are in favor of the inspection,

clause in tho ordinance. This one
