Fence Posts Made Durable.

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 simple
treatment with creosote. Most of the
so.called "inferior'' woods are we'll
adapted to the treatment, and this is
especially true of cottonwood, aspen,
willow, sycamore, low-grade pines, and
some Of the gums. When properly
treated, these woods outlast sntreated
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.
lmpregnation with creosote has been
greatly cheapened by the introduction
of the "open tank, which can be in
stalled at cost of from $50 to s45, or
much less if an old boiler Is used. A
tank with a bottom IL square feet in
area will suffice for treating 40 or 50
6-inch posts a day, or double this num-
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. red oak,
and maple, four-tenths gallon; Douglas
fir, quaking aspen and black walnut,
six tenths gallon; sycamore, cottonwood
and lodgepole pine, seven tenths gallon.
The price of creosote is about 10 cents
per gallon in the East and Middle
West, 16 cents per gallon on the Pacific
coast, and 27 cents per gallon in the
Rocky Mountain States. The cost of
treating post will therefore vary from
to Is cents. Properly treated, it
should give service for at least twenty
years.
Experiments Of the Forest Service
show that with preservative treatment
the durability of the 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 6 per cent. of two cents
per post yearly. More important than
the saving, however, is the fact that
through preservative treatment other
woods are fitted to take the place of
cedar, of which the supply is rapidly
becoming exhausted. A detailed de-
scription of experiments in preserving
fence posts, together with practical sug-
gestions for treating them on COM
mercial scale, are contained in Circular
III of the Forest Service. The publi-
Cation can be obtained upon applica-
ton to the Forester at w Washington.

No Blood Drawn by Tawney.

Quite evidently Jim Tawney of the
First does not care for White House
"trimming." Therefore, it is not mat
ter of general surprise that the eau
tious and judicious James, who had for
several days been touted to take mon
umental fall out Of the occupant of the
White House, took particular pains,
when he waltZed into the inclosure
Tuesday, to strike the presidents shield
with che reverse end of his lance. He
thereby signiied to the doughty cham
pion of champions that he was not look.
ing for fight to finish, but rather a
joust OF courtesy in which he might
show more of horsemanship than
muscle.
Judici Gus James had been told that
the president did something illegal
when he appointed a number of con-
gressmen to go down the Mississippi
river and inspect, investigate, overhaul,
sift, probe and explore the father of
sandbanks. 1t was represented that it
was up to him, as chairman ofthe big
money committee and guardian of the
treasury, to hop into the arena with a
"holler' that would make the president
resign. Presumably, James was at first
fired with the idea of the immortal
fame to come from handing the strenu-
GUS person cuff that would cause him
to take the count. If he ever enter
tanned such notion, he dismissed it
for when he led off with his left on
Tuesday he failed to reach the mark,
and did nothing during the next three
minutes but fiddle to protect his guard.
At last accounts Theodore had not even
come into the ring. But gentle James
is doubtless watching the papers to sec
whether there is intimation of letter
soon to emanate from the White House.

Ida N. Tarbeu on the Good and the
Bad in the Standard Oil Company.

The February American Magazine
contains Ida NJ. Tarbells story Of
Roosevelt vs. Rockefeller. Toward
the end of the article Miss Tarbell
makes the following general state
ments about the Standard:
THE Standard Oil Company is an
integral part of the commerce of this
nation. 1t is the most magnificent
example Of efficient organization on
a large scale that has ever been
worked out in any country. 1t is a
thing of which we ought to be able
to be proud. Not the least of the sins
of the Standard Oil Company is that
it has so mingled trickery, deceit
bribery and cruelty with it's splendid
organization that we cannot be prouc
of it. 1t shames us in every country
OF the globe 1t has become synonym
for commercial depravity. We have
seen European countries legislating
against it in far-away Burma, refus-
ing it footing because of it's meth
DDS, Cinnamon seek independent pro-
ducts because of it's hard dealing.
But hateful practices are not all or
the greater part of the Standard Oil
Company. They are things to be
stripped off. 1t is desirable that this
should be done without violence or
bitterness. But it cannot be so done
unless the Standard Oil Company ceas-
es resistance to the spirit of the law
and to the liberal commercial ideals
of democracy. 1t must admit it's sins
and accept it's punishments. 1t must
abandon forever it's absurd conten-
tion that the oil business belongs to
it, must stop it's long and insolent
effort to force the laws of nature, or
supply and demand of governments,
of human intercourse, to it's ambition
to regulate and control great in
ternational industry. If the present
management of the Standard Oil
Company will not assist in doing this,
one will certainly be found eventual
ly which will do it,

DISGUSTED
WITH CANADA

Many residents of northern Min
nesota who invested in land in the
Canadian northwest have returned
from that country, and with a very
few exceptions their stories of the
conditions out there are not COM
mandatory.
Among those who have returned
very recently from the Canadian
northwest is L. R. Root of Grand
Rapids. Mr. Root visited that coun-
try with the intention of locating in
the livery business if he had found
conditions to his liking. He visited
several of the principal cities in the
Canadian northwest and made care
full investigation of the prospects
there. He says that hard times are
in vogue, generally, throughout the
country, and the hardships which
stare the people in the face up in that
country are rapidly driving out many
of the settlers. who were induced to
go there through lurid advertising
by real estate cgents.
In fact" says Mr.. Root, MANY
| of those who went to the Canadian
northwest and invested in lands there
have written back to Minnesota in
quiring if it would be possible to Sc
cure homesteads on some of the gov
ernment land in the northern part of
| the state. These northwestern farm
ers state that they have no money,
as their crops were entirely destroyed
by frost during the past two years.
You will see many of them returning
during the next twelve months"
In this connection George Welsh,
commissioner of immigration of the
| new Minnesota board of immigra-
! tion, writes a resident of Bemidji to
| the effect that his department is in
receipt of considerable correspond
ence along the line of the above in
which Canadian farmers, who lost all
of their crops by frost, are very de-
sirous of getting homesteads in this
state.
Mr.. Welsh states that he is TAX
ing up the matter of securing lands
for these people and that he is in
correspondence with reliable people
in northern Minnesota and with land
officials, relative to the amount Of
! government land that is available
for homestead entry or through pur-
chase, in order to provide homes for
the many who are inQuirin form in
| nesota land :s-.>>s s. a
There is no doubt but that the
immigration of would-be farmers of
| Minnesota and the northwestern
states to the Canadian northwest is
| rpaidly diminishing, due wholly and
| solely to the adverse reports
| that are received from former resi-
| dents of the northwest who are now
trying to exc out living in the
kings domain
! Much credit is due Mr.. Welsh for
his splendid efforts to stop this
exodus, which has been going on for
| the past two Or three years. people
who are living there undoubtedly not
being acquainted with the fact that
they can secure first-class land in the
northern part of Minnesota at much
less figure than the much-advertised
land of the Canadian northwest
| lands that are imminently more fitted
for agricultural purposes in every
way.-Bemidji Pioneer

PLANTING TREES
Valuable Suggestions Regarding
Location, Planting and Care of
a Fruit Orchard by F. W. Kim.
ball of Austin.
Editor Transcript:

AS the time will soon be here for
the planting of fruit trees, would
offer a few suggestions in regard to
selection OF location, planting and
care for the first few years. If you
have it, select location sloping to
the northeast, if not, then the north
or east, the sleeper the slope the bet
ter, but do not set too close to the
lower edge. Would prefer no wind
break to the north or east, but would
like one on the south and also on the
west, if not too close A free circula
ton of air is desirable. l would, If
possible, avoid a south slope as the
sun in the early spring lays and re-
fleets it's rays against the trunk of
the tree, frequently causing sun
have a plenty of wet straw or wet
blankets, or better both, and do not
allow your tree roots to get the in
fuence of the winds or sun for mo-
ment, and if you find that the top
is at all dried, dig trench and cover
both roots and top for a few days
with wet earth.
Dig your holes about two feet
larger in diameter than needed to
get the roots lin and dig deep. Save
the top earth, and All in about six
inches Of TT when ready to set, so as
to give the roots a loose and rich
earth to start with. Set the tree four
to six inches deeper than in the
nursery row. ] Reason for this is that
probably most nursery trees are
started on ten der roots; if set deep
it gives chance to eventually get a
set of roots from the hardy stock;
that will partd Ike of the same hardy
nature. Trim THE ends of all broken
or bruised roots and trim the tree to
correspond with the apparent loss OF
roots Place tho dirt carefully about
the roots and, after the top roots are
covered, tramp thoroughly to the top
and if convenient throw in one or
more buckets Of water. AS the tend
ency in this country is for the trees
to lean strongly to the northeast, I
myself plant them leaning strongly
to the 1 o'clock sun, that they may
not catch the rays of the sun so di-
rect, thus limiting the tendency to
sun scald. Even with this precaution
the tendency is to get to the north
east. I know that it does not make
a handsome Orchard, but handsome
is that handsome does, and l am at
ter the apples 1ather than looks. Cul
tivate your trees for a few years and
in winter mulch them with straw
and manure or manure alone, keeping
it one or two feet away from the
trunk that mite may not nest near
and bark your trees. However, till
such time as your trees have de-
veloped a good rough bark, it is we'll
to make q small mound of earth
around them OF protect them with a
small veneer of wood, which will last
for several seasons. When growing,
trim out interfering limbs, while
small, better nbt larger than a pen
ell, and if n1u fh larger protect the
wound either I Eith wax or paint In
filing the hole$ it is better to leave
them an inch d two Nwer than the
surrounding ground 50 as to catch
all the water rather than turn it
away. Next wait patieltly and pick
the apples. F. W. KlMBALL.
