greater than this is the annual cut
from the home woodlot no figures >ex-
ut to show; but by taking the total
number Of farms and their acreage
and making q conservative allowance
for posts for the fences inclosfng each
farm, II has been estimated that up
wards Of 100000 900 posts are set
each year. Such figures are too vast
to mean anything. Even the nine mil
lion posts of the Census, q mere drop
in the bucket as. compared with the
unreported1 production, would, II set
Is feet apart, girdle the earth, or
would build solid pile IS feet wide,
40 feet high, and mile long.
Durability and at least moderate
strength are the desirable qualities
for fence posts. The use OF species
which are not durable Is expensive,
both on account OF the more freqeunt
renewal which is necessary and be-
cause repairing is constantly called
for. Timber Of the required quality is
produced in the middle west by hardy
catalpa. black locust. and Usage
orange.
Catalpa makes an excellent growth
on deep. porous, fertile soil, but only
on such soil. Five or six inch posts
should be ready to cut in about ten
years. In regions immune from the
locust borer black locust will yield
satisfactory returns from soil in which
catalpa would fail, and for this rea-
son it is adapted to wide area where
the rainfall is light. Under ordinary
conditions: locut should produce fence
material In fifteen years. CO..
Usage orange also is not exacting In
its soil requirements. It is being ex-
tensively planted for hedges and wind
breaks, from which a considerable
yield of fence posts may be obtained.
1t makes satisfactory growth on dry
soils and reaches post size in from
fifteen to twenty years.
Several other species, such as white
willow, European larch, Russian null
berry. and red cedar, are also being
grown with good results, but none of
them is better fitted to supply fence
posts than those first named.
The Forest Service fully recognizes
the Importance of fence posts In farm
economy and the great demand for
suitable timber. Studies Of the growth
and durability of various species have
been made, and the limits of the COM
mercial planting range of each has
been more closely defined. Rapid
growing species which are not durable
have been studied to determine some
form Of preservative treatment which
will increase their durability. Further
work along this line will undoubtedly
add largely to the list of species which
can furnish the desired product.

Invented Flower Pot.

Mr.. R. ]. Cooper, brick mason and
cement worker of Crookston, has in
vented a new flower pot for which he
claims many advantages. 1t is made
OF cement and can be made in any
color desired and the principal advan-
tage Is that it absorbs the water bet
ter than the hard baked crockery pot.
Mr.. Cooper Is the only maker of this
Kind of pots anywhere in the United
States and he expects the business to
grow to great proportions. He has
made several already and has them on
sale at 232 Ninth street.

BOYCOTT ENDED.

''There is certainly dissatisfaction in
China, but it is directed against all
foreigners holding concessions from the
government that do not pay taxes COM
grants given them. This feeling is
quite as intense against the German
and English concessionaries as against
the American. 1t is true beyond ques-
ton that the Chinese feel that they
should own and control their own fran
chises. Particularly, is this true to-
wards the railroads, which they are
very much in favor of but which they
wish to build themselves for their own
use and benefit.
There have been some outrages per-
petrated in the neighborhood of Can
ton, but those most competent to teSti-
fly place the responsibility entirely up
on river pirates Army officers and
others who have been investigating and
getting at the facts in these matters
are my authorities for saying this.
Along the coast and on the river
at Canton there are half million peo-
pie living in junks and boats and these
have about the same relation to law
and order as the ladroneS did in the
Philippines. They are bands of or
ganized robbers, making raids into the
interior and robbing, plundering and
numbering. They kill and rob Chinese
much more than they do whites and
the Chinese government has put into
commission a number of small gun
boats to clean them out.
DISLIKE MISSIONARIES.
Il have made careful invest cation
and l am prepared to say the Chinese
government is losing no effort to pro-
tect the lives and property of all for
eigners, especially Americans, notwith-
standing that there is a feeling gem
orally of distrust and dislike towards
the missionaries.
"A prominent Chinaman said to me-
Our people feel very much on this
matter as the Americans would feel if
we forced a Buddhist mission upon
New York The missionaries. who are
very frequently denounced by travel
erS, are as a rule an excellent lot of
people. doing the will of their Master
as they see it, but their presence in
China, where the people do not want
them, is one of the questions most Sc
rfously to be considered
