His FEELINGS Were Hurt.

1t Is strange how unreasonable some
people are In business-how unreason-
able and how inconsiderate Of the feel
ings Of others. AS an example, there Is
the case Of fidelity company in New
York which suddenly and arbitrarily
Cancelled the bond 1t had issued for q
man attached In a fiduciary capacity to
an important concern. 1t was the most
natural thing In the world for the man
to display some feeling and to demand
to know the reason for such action.
And the inconsiderate head of tho
bonding company wrote him to this
effect:
Because you were convicted Of for
gerry under another name in the year
- and served a term in the state
prison at -"

posts with creosote Is very simple anC
inexpensive. Any kind Of post is suit
able for use with this treatmeDt-in
deed. the poorest soft wood posts last
the longest after being properly treat
ed. The apparatus needed consists OF
two small metal tanks. one of which
is arranged so that fire can be built
under IL. Both tanks are filed two
thirds full of creosote which can be
rates. The creosote In one of these
tanks is heated almost to boiling. and
the posts. which must be we'll sea
sODed, are placed in it and left for
about six hours. Usually only the part
of the post that is to go into the ground
is treated.
After remaining in the hot creosote
for six hours the posts are taken out
and Immediately placed in the cold
creOsote. The sudden reduction OF
temperature causes the steam in the
pores of the post to contract. making
a partial vacuum. and the air pressure
drives the creosote into all parts OF
the post. This treatment costs only
about 10 cents post. The treated
posts will last twenty years or longer.
or about five times as long as nntreat
ed ones.
In putting up permanent woven
wire fence great care must be taken
to see that the corner posts are well
braced. Fig. ] shows very effec-
I've way OF making solid corner. The
corner post should be considerably lar.
ger than the others. A hole 2 by 4
should be dug to set it in. Bolt a
piece of plank about three feet long
to the bottom of the post and shorter
piece at right angles to the first Fill
In dirt up to the top of these and lamp
1t solid. Then roll in number of
large stones and fill the rest of the
hole with dirt. tamping it we'll all the
way up. Such post, IL properly
braced. will not give much under any
strain that may be put upon it, A
way that Is still better. though a little
more expensive. is to set the corner
post in cement.
The fencing selected should be
strongly woven and made of good sized
wire. Flimsy fencing costs little
less at first. but does not last we'll
enough to warrant putting il up. Be
sure that the cross wires are fastened
firmly to the longitudinal strands. SC
that they cannot be spread out ct
place. Both the woven and the barbed
wire should be well galvanized. Wire

shown by the crevices and joints be-
ing filed with the galvanizing material.
will last much longer than that which
Is galvanized before weaving. In the
latter case the galvanizing material
will be more or less cracked. and the
wire will soon begin to rust.
1t is Of great Importance to have the
wire well stretched. An ordinary wire
stretcher will not stretch woven wire
tightly enough. Where a large guam
tity is purchased at time power
full wire stretcher Is usually thrown in.
1t will pay to set temporary post a
little way back from the corner TO
stretch from. The wire should be
wrapped around the corner post and
fastened in several places, as the strain

here is very heavy. II there are more
than twenty rods in a single line it
will be necessary to brace line post
midway between the corners to stretch
from. as more than twenty rods can
not be frightened satisfactorily at one
stretch.
Wherever n gate is to be put in the
posts will have to be braced solidly
A good way to do this is to put i'm
posts that will extend about twelve
feet above the ground ind connect the
tops with strong wire This method
of bracing cannot be used with cement
posts. as they will not stand much
lateral strain.
A swinging gate is by far the most
convenient, provided it is properly put
In. 1t should be well enough braced
so that 1t will not sag and drag on the
ground. In places where the snow is
likely to drift gate that can be adj
justed to various heights is great
convenience. Fig. 2 shows a conven-
lent and easily constructed type of
wooden gate. For road gates and at
other places where appearance counts
for anything an iron gate Is preferable.
IL looks better and is more durable,
but the cost is considerably greater.
