The charring of posts is means of
preserving them, according to the re-
suits of experiments carried on for
16 years at the Wyoming experiment
station. While charring the whole post
would doubtless assist in its preser-
walton, the part above ground does not
generally decay except in very humid
climates. In almost all parts of the
Uniter States there is enough sun
shine summer and winter to keep the
posts In a good condition of preserva-
ton for q generation. In the semi-arid
west the conditions are excellent for
the preservation of timber that is
open to the sunshine and the air. The
only problem comes with the part of
the post that is below the surface of
the ground. As most of our readers
have observed, fence post decays
quickest just at the surface of the
ground. A post that has about rotted
of will be found to have done SO just
below the ground, while the lower
apex will be often almost intact. This
is because the moisture and air con-
dttions are just right at or imme-
diate1y below the surface to make bac.
terial action possible. 1t must not be
lost sight Of that the rotting of posts
is entirely case Of the growing of
minute plants whose roots feed upon
the wood. Where bacterial or fungous
life is not possible, no decay occurs.
If a post is sunk below the water to
such a depth that bacteria do not
attack it, it will live forever and not
decay. Pieces of board are frequently
dug out of the ooze on the bottoms of
rivers and lakes and found to be in
ia perfect state Of preservation. In
Europe there are logs lying at the
foundations of buildings that have
been there thousand years and are
still as good as new. The great piles
driven down to form the foundations
Of buildings in Chicago and other
places will last no one knows how
many centuries. The bottoms of ships
outlast the tops of ships unless they
are attacked by marine insects that
bore holes In them. So the posts do
not decay because of the water in
which they stand but because Of the
low forms of life that eat into them
and destroy the cells. The charring
prevents the vegetable forms of life
from getting a foothold. The charring
leaves only carbon at the surface of
the post and no plant can begin life
by putting it's roots into a mass of
carbon. If a spore falls on such sur.
face It may .sprout, but the sprouted
plant will perish, for there is no

SELECTING OF
DAIRY CATTLE

The British board of agriculture, in
dealing with this subject, binds it's
faith to the dual-purpose COW, and nat
urally considers that the carefully
bred Shorthorn approaches most near
ly to its ideal. 1t is acknowledged, how
ever, that difference in choice ought
to be determined by the nature of the
ground and the purpose for which the
COWS are kept. For good land the
breeds recommended are Dairy Short.

and that would naturally deprive the

of the best California birds. He
thought that the management of the

order a change of date.
Mr.. Wood said that what is needed
worse here is not more birds but more
room for the display of poultry aces
series such as incubators. breeders.

and remedies.
1t was the intention Of the manage
ment last fall to install such display
but on account Of the failure to make
the necessary appropriation there is a
lack of funds for that purpose.
An effort will be made at the coming
fair to bring the poultry raisers of the
territory together into a reorganization
of the market here on some business
like line for the handling of poultry
and eggs so as to secure the advant-
ages which go to outside poultry rails
ers and at the same time benefit the
consumer of this territory. As 1t is
new there are either too many eggs or
not enough of them. The system of
distribution is bad, or rather there Is

quence great waste of them when

He met him at the lodging house on
Sunday evening about o'clock and
Copelin told him that he had little
money left and would have to get out

Kosik advised him to leave off
drinking. but Copelin told him that he
could not do so jas long as he remain

to leave the lodging house. but he came
up town and remained about the sa-
looms until half past two o'clock. He
then went to the lodging house and
must have hanged himself within a few
minutes after going to his room.
Kosik knewNnothing of his relatives.
Copelin had told him that he was of
German descent though he had been
born in this country. He was a little
