TIMBER PRESERVATION.
The Most Perfect Method Is Also the
Stnst Expensive.

TelcpLoEe poles nearly always decay
at or Just below the ground line. The
upper portion Of the pole, permanently
in the air, rapidly drying after rain, is
practically always dry and is rarely
found deCaycd. The butt of the pole,
deeply buried in the ground, Is In
permanently damp condition, but oxy-
gen being excluded 1T is seldom badly
affected. Close to the ground line the
su.l retains the moisture and keeps the
wood constantly damp where ii is eX
posed TO the air and to the heat Of the
sun. which is just what its little vege-
table enemies like, but If the albumen
in the wood can be rendered unfit for
food the wood tissues offer practically
no support to fungi. Timber preserva-

Good supply of the destructive agencies.
Preservation Of timber is attempted
IN three ways-by seasoning, either
natural or artificial; by outward me-
chanical means, such as charring in fire
or the applications Of antiseptics on the
surface OF the stick, and by impreg-
mating the wood with antiseptics. OF
these the last is by far the most i'm
