The PreServative Treatment
OF FenCe-POStS.

A great deal is said nowadays
concerning the conservation of our
timber resources, and he who
raises his hand against the useless
destruction of our forests is a
public benefactor. But there are
many ways of accomplishing this
end, and one of these is through
preservatiye treatment of such
timbers as railway ties, teleph one
and telegraph poles, fence-posts,
ETC., and if by some comparatively
simple treatment, we can prolong
the life of our post timber five,
ten, or fifteen years, it is worth
our while.
The rotting of timber is not a
progress similar to the rusting of
iron, but it is disease due to the
presence Of certain kinds of bac-
terra and fungi. These small
plants are living organisms, and
four conditions are necessary for
their healthy growth, namely {;
heat, moisture, air and food. The
spores or seed from these bodies fall
upon our posts. and it is at the
surface of the ground that they
find conditions most favorable for
their growth, for here is moisture
in abundance, heat during the
greater part of the year, air and
food. Hence it ia that our posts
rot off at the surface of the
ground.
Now, if We can deprive these
little plants of some, or all, of the
conditions necessary to their life,
we can prevent our posts from
rotting. We cannot control the
the temperature, and air is pres
ent unless it be under water or
deep in the ground, so all that is
lett for us is to deprive these bac-
terra of food or water. They live
upon the substance of the timb
by sending out tiny threads or
rootlets, which dissolve the woody
fibre, so that if we can cover the
post with some material which
will prevent their getting a start
in growth, or saturate the post
with some substance that will
poison their food supply, we will,
in a large measure, preserve the
post.
The first of these objects is gain
ed by charring that part of the
post which is put into the ground,
for a good coat of charcoal very
effectively prevents the entrance
of bacteria, and will increase the
life of post several years.
Another method, and perhaps a
better, is to saturated the surface
of the post with creosote. This 10
II by-product of gas producers
plants where the gas is made from
coal. The post is usually kept in
the hot liquid for some time-one
to three hours--and then left in
for several hours longer while the
liquid is let cool. This fills the
outer layer of the post, and pre-
vents the rotting of the timber.
Creosote can be bought for some.
thing like 20 cents per gallon, and
one post will absorb from one
eight to one-fourth of gallon,
depending largely on the timber
used.
Other solutions, such as chloride
of zinc, copper sulphate, mercuric
chloride, are sometimes used, but
they are all so soluble in water
that they soon leach out Of the
post. aud hence their effect does

not last long.

not last long
One nice thing about these pre-
servatives is that they can be used
on cheaper timber just as better
grades, leaving the latter to be
used tor other purposes where u
better grade must be had.

seption could be made in the law pro-

The dream Of such an air craft is
somewhat irridescent, Army men say,

The famous surgeon Velpeau was

Observance Of the pure food low
has become a passion with DR.. Wiley.
Some Of the methods he has adopted
to carry out his plans have been eriti-
cised, but this criticism has come
largely from his enemies. who could
hardly be expected to approve Of the
Chief Chemists poison squada" and
of his rather odd practice Of entering
barrooms to sample OF quality Of the
liquor offered to the bibulous public.
Whatever may be said in condemna-
tion Of these somewhat sensational
stunts, it must be admitted that DR..
Wiley has been the agent of prosecut-
ing one Of the greatest reforms Of the
present century His statement that
since the enactment Of the pure food
law $l00000,000 has been saved to
the people Of the country through
avoided sickness may be based more
one sentiment than economic fact, but
nevertheless it remains true that the
people have been gamers by having
placed the burden OF the pure food
fight on DR. Wiley's broad and ener.
getic shoulders. The President holds
this view, too, and therefore the story
that these two practical reformers
have quarrelled is likened here to so
much "moonshine."
