WINTER TIMBER BETTER
THAN THAT CUT IN SUMMER
More Durable on Account of Its
Constituents.

Timber cut in spring and in sum-
mer is not so durable as that cut in
winter, when the life processes of
trees are less active. Scientific in
vestigations sustain this statement
The durability depends not only
upon the greater or less density, but
also upon the presence of certain
chemical constituents in the wood.
Thus large portion of resinous mat
ter increases the durability, while the
presence of easily soluble carbofy-
drates diminishes it considerably.
During the growing season the wood
| of trees contain sulphuric acid and
potassium, both of which are SOL
vents of the carbohydrates, starch,
resins and gums, they are known to
soften also the ligneous tissues to a
considerable degree.
During the summer months the
wood of living trees contains eight
times as much sulphuric acid and five
times as much potassium as it does
during the winter months The pres
ence of these two chemical substances
during the growing season constitutes
the chief factor in dissolving the
natural preservatives within the wood
and in preparing the wood for the
different kinds of wood destroying
fungi, such as polyporus and agaci-
Gus.
The fungi can thus penetrate more
quickly and easily into the interior of
| the wood when these wood gums are
already partly dissolved and avail
able for their own immediate use.
From this standpoint 1t seems that
| the best time to cut down the tree
is in the winter, when sulphuric acid
and potassium are present to a much
smaller degree, and the fungi will not
be assisted in dissolving the natural
| preservatives in the wood.
| The amount of wood gum is all
ways less and more easily soluble to
| capwood than in heartwood, and for
| this reason the former is usually re-
| garded worthless for industrial pur-
poses.-Scientific American.

A Labor Saver.

A box filled with small squares of
sandpaper is a great labor saver in a
kitchen. When eggs stick to Guns,
macaroni to the baking dish; whee
vegetables or meat burn on the
kettle; when flour and water dries on
the table, or even when the coffee
pot becomes discolored, instead of
scraping, soaking, brushing or boil
ing, use a square of sandpaper,
coarse or fine as the case may re-
quire, and in few moments any
persistent matter will be as success
fully removed as by any other method
and with a great saving of time and
labor.

N. J. FISHERMEN SOLVE

ABSINTHE TO BE UNDER
BAN HERE AFTER OCT. |

Absinthe has come under the ban
of the pure food laws Of the United
States. After October its importa-
ton, interstate shipment and sale In
the territories and the District of
Columbia will be prohibited by de-
eision of the Board of Food and Drug
inspection.
There will be no complaint from the
public about this action, says the
Chicago Record Herald. In France
any proposition to stop the sale Of
absinthe meets with formidable OPP
position, for the liquer is a popular
drink; but the French government
forbids it's use by soldiers, and three
countries in which it formerly was
used to a large extent-Switzerlan
Holland and Belgium-have sup
pressed the manufacture, importation
and sale of it.

which are the oils of NORWOOD and
