Barrel Outfit for Dipping in CreosOte

This consists Of heating the wood tor
a certain period and then cooling it
in the preSerNatiNe. The principle is
ismple During the heating the high
temperature causes the air and water
contained in the wood cells to eX-
pand SO that a portion Of this air and
water is forced out. The rest con-
tracts as the subsequent cooling pro-
crosses, and a partial vacuum IS
formed into which atmospheric pres
sure forces the cool preserVatiNe.
The opentan principle may be
variously applied in the treatment of
posts. The best way TO heat the
posts is to immerSe their butts in
creosote maintained 1T 4 temperature
of 220 degrees t.
The simplest form Of treating 1ant
consists of two creoSote barrels, plac
ed about seven feet apart nd con
nected by a 8 or 4-inch pipe. The
heating is accomplished by building
fire under the pipe. Each barrel
should be set in a shallow box or pro
Vided with some gutter cement

\ PROFITABLE GRASS MI\Tt RI.

Alfalfa, grasses and clovers make
good mixture for the average open
soil. The grasses and clovers should
comprise rather above half the seed
and about thirty pounds in all will
be ample, per acre. This is so as
regards the mixture, unless the soil
is particularly apt for clover or al
falfa, when either of the two may
be considerably increased and a pro-
portionate quantity of cloNers and
grasses be withheld.
The grasses preferable are such
strong varieties as cOcEsfOOt. timo-
thy, rye SraSS-bOth Italian and COM
mon.
The best clovers are the red and
alsike. OF course the crops may make
more or less temporary pasture, but
they give great abundance at that
and all animals thrive Well on the

1t is Well known that wood decays
more rapidly when placed in contact
with the surface of the ground, be-
cause the wood destroying organisms
find there more uniform conditions Of
heat and moisture to encourages their
development. For this reason the
ground line of a post must be thor
Oughly treated, whereas nortions Of
the post above and below this point
require less treatment. The climat te
! OF the locality should also be consid-
cred. In the warm Gulf States or in
a moist ure-laden atmosphere posts
require more thorough treatment
than in cooler northern climate or
on the arid plains.

PiEStRN ATION OF
FARM TIMBER.
Of the Several Methods Of Preserving
Posts Dipping in CreOSOtc is Con-
Sidcred the Best.

(By &. +. WilliS.)
The amount of wood used on the
Farms of the country and exposed to
rapid decay is enormous. 1t is eSti-
mated that one billion fence posts and
rails, the equivalent Of six billion
BOARD feet, are required each year.
Tor this class of material durability
Is the first requisite. The naturally
durable woods were formerly plcnt-
ful over large areas but in many Sec
tlonS they have now become too
scarce and dear to use. There re-
mains, however, an abundance of in
ferlor woods, which, when preserved
from decay. are entirely satisfactory
substitutes
Decay consists in the destruction of
the wood tissues by low forms of
plant life. These organisms we term
tungi. 1t is possible that Bacteria NAV
be associated in some cases, but as
yet We have no positive proof of it. 1t
follows that the object Of all preSery-
atlFe treatment is to prevent the de-
Nelopment Of these organisms and
mat the most effective treatment is
the one that accomplishes this for
the longest period

dent Of the Farmers Union, the
president Of the Farmers Alliance.
and Commissioner w. A. Graham OF
the Department of Agriculture was
house in pursuance Of the matter Of
cotton acreage reduction.
The discussion. took the turn Of
asking the cooperation Of the mer-
chants and the business men OF the
city and county, just as 1t is being
done in all of the counties, in reduc
ing the cotton acreage and the use
of commercial fertilizers. DR.. j. Nj.
Templeton of Cary presided ard the
Rock Hill plan was adopted by this
plan it is understood that there will
be a general effort TO reduce the acre
age twenty-five per cent At the re-
cent meeting here, when a State man
ager was appointed. it was decided to
reduce the acreage, but not to call
upon every small farmer to make his
crop but seventy live per cent. The
smallest growers OF cotton declared
that they could not we'll afford such
a reduction, but announcement was
given TO the scheme and The state
department entered into it all that 1t
could.
At yesterdays meeting, which was
attended chiefly by farmers who were
in town and heard of it, the follow
ing resolutions were passed:
Nv hereaS concerted movement
has been started in all Of the cotton
growing States to reduce the cotton
acreage for this year as temporary
expedient for controlling the price OF
cotton, therefore be it
Resolved, That the farmers OF
Wake county, at a meeting in the
court house in Raleioh, February II
hereby agree TO participate in this
work and reduce the cotton acreage
to the lowest possible limit, at th'
same time increasing the crops Of fOoC
stuffs. Furthermore, that we endorse
the Rock Hill plan as it is being car
ried out in other Southern States"
The action Of the farmers yeSter
day was the most advanced taker
