Curing the Posts.
The side boards of the forms should
be removed in "a to 48 hours aftel

very carefully. In the meantime they
should be sprinkled with water sew

sun and wind and from frost IL 1t be
freezing weather. Posts should cure
at least 60 days before being set in
the ground During this period they
should, if possible. be placed upon Z
bed of moist sand and thoroughly
wetted each day. Prices OF materials
may vary in different localities. but
the average price including labor will
range from % to 30 cents per post

build his own forge and the only ex'

Washington, Jan. 16.-An attack on
