A Newspaper Bible.

Did any one ever suspect the fact
that Bible is almost a necessity in a
newspaper office? For months it will
not be used, and then comes day
when one of the reporters wants it, and
wants it badly.
About a week ago there was a call
for the Dispatch family Bible. 1t
had disappeared. 1t was an old Bible
"a very seedy looking volume, with
many of its leaves loose and torn, and
the rest all trying to get loose.
The Office was turned upside down
even the artistsand the photographer
were accused of having purloined it.
1t was finally Touchdown in the
back of the composing room. How it
got there no one knew, but 1T had evil
IDENTIFY seen more hard treatment, and
the most of those leaves which had
heen trying to get loose accomplished
their purpose
It's homely looking old book-tbe
Dispatch Bible-buu it's as ''chuck"
full of good things as real spick and
span one right out of book store, and
there was real rejoicing among the
heathen reporters when it was found
again-COlumbus Dispatch.

The New STATE of Oklahoma.

The total population of the new
State of Okla .Oma is l, ,40S.732 per-
sons, according to census taken dur
ing the latter part of last summer.
The population is almost equally
divided between Oklahoma Territory
and Indian Territory. the latter hav-
ing little more than half.
The western part of the new State is
a treeless prairie, but includes group
of small mountains in which is the
Wichita National Forest. The eastern
part of the State has great deal of
woodland, and it is much to be hoped
that the laws of the commonwealth
will foster these forests and encourage
the planting of more trees. The law
makers of new states are notably
ready to adopt improved methods OF
government, their institutions not be-
Ing already set in old ways; and as
Michigan established state d7rfVer-
sity; Kansas, industrial college train
ing; and Wyoming, woman suffrage;
in the beginning Of their history, 80
Oklahoma, let US hope, will provide
for leaving growing forests untaxed,
that the owners may be able to hold
them until maturity. Such course
will give justice 10 the owners, and
benefit to the community.

FENCE POSTS MADE DURABLE.
WOODS GIVEN S1XTEEN YEARS AD-
OPTIONAL SERVICE BY PRESERVA-
TIVE TREATMENT.


OPTIONAL SERVICE BY PRESERVA-
TIVE TREATMENT.
Fence posts of many kinds of cheap
woods which ordinarily would soon
decay if set in the ground can be made
TO last for twenty years by a simple
treatment with creosote. Most Of the
so called inferior woods are well
adapted to the treatment, and this is
Q pecially true of cottonwood, aspen,
willow, sycamore, low-grade pines,
and some of the gums. When properly
treated. these woods outlast untreated
cedar and oak, which are becoming
too scarce and too much in demand for
other uses to allow of their meeting
the demand for fence posts.
Impregnation with creosote has been
greatly cheapened by the introduction
OF the open tank which can be in
stalled at cost of from $50 to $45, or
much less If an old boiler is used. A
tank with a bottom II square feet in
area will suffice for treating 40 or so
6-inch posts day. or double this mum
Der when two runs per day can be
made. The absorption of creosote per
post is about as follows: Eucalyptus,
One-tenth gallon; willow. two.tenths
gallon; sassafras, ash, hickory, / ed oak,
water oak, elm, aud maple, four tenths
gallon; Douglas fir, quaking ash, and
black walnut, six tenths; sycamore.
cottonwood, and lodgepole pine, SEVEN
tenths gallon. The price of creosote
is aLout 10 cents per gallon ID the East
and Middle West. l6 cents per gallon
on the Pacific coast, and 81 cents per
gallon in the Rocky Mountain States.
The cost of treating a post will there
fore vary from A to Is cents. Properly
treated, it should give service for at
least twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest Service
show that with preservativs treat.
ment the durability of lOdgepole pine
in Idaho is increased sixteen years.
The cost of creosOte is there relatively
high, yet by treating posts there is
saving, with interest at per cent, of
2 cents per post yearly. More impor-
tant than the saving, however, is the
fact that through preservative treat
ment other woods are fitted to take
the place of cedar, of which the supply
is rapidly becoming exhausted. A de-
tailed description of experiments in
preserving fence posts, together with
practical suggestions for treating them
on commercial scale. are contained
in Circular III of the Forest Service.
This publication can be obtained upon
application to the Forester at Wash
ington.
