SAVING THE TIMBER.

Timber thoroughly treated with prop
er preservatives will last almost in
definitely, but, says Harper's Weekly,
up to the present time complicated and
expensive plants have been necessary
for the work, and wood preservation
has often been too expensive an opera
ton to allow treated timber to come in
to general use.
Methods in wood preservation have
undergone a marked change in the last
few years, however and the work
which a few years ago was limited to
a few experiments carried on il scat
tered parts of the United States has
grown with such rapidity that wood
preservation has become a business
which figures most prominently in the
industrial life of this country.
Each year railroads are preserving an
increasing portion of their crossties.
miners their mine props, farmers their
fence posts and the men of many other
Industries are bringing preservaties into
play to close the pores and to conserve
the timber that they use against the
fungi that causes decay.
In nearly all localities in the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific States is found an
abundant supply of certain kinds of
timber that have only a slight COM
mercial Importance. Englemann spruce,
lOdgepole and other kinds of wood pine.
aspen and cottonwood are ouly a partial
list of the kinds of wood that are strong
enough and abundant enough to win
high value for construction PURPOSES
but when exposed to the soil and
weather decay so rapidly that they
have to be renewed too often to Justify
their use. There, before thev can
successfully compete with Douglas fir.
Oregon ceader and the woods used so
extensively in construction work thew
must be made to last longer under
unfavorable conditions.
After several years study the United
States Forest Service has proved that
in many cases complicated and ex-
pensive plants are not necessary for the
proper treatment of many kinds of tim
Der, and that many of the timbers that
decay most rapidly in the natural state
are among the easiest and cheaper to
treat. Many Of the species mentioned
above offer little resistance to the en-
trance Of the preservative. The principle
of the method is to immense the
thoroughly seasoned wood in a hot bath
of the liquid, leave it in for few hours.
