Making Fence Posts Last.
BY E. c. PEGG.

Does it pay to treat fence posts with
a preservative in order to make them
last longer? Is it possible to treat cot
touwood, elm, sycamore. or basswood
posts 80 that they viii last as long as a
good white oak or black locust post does
without treatment2 The Missouri Col
leee of Agriculture has started an ex-
pertinent which will help to answer
these questions.
On November 80, 1918, the Forestry
department Of the Missouri College OF
Agriculture set the last OF 5SS posts
representing q different kinds OF wsod'
The posts we're set two feet deep on a
level piece of land where soil and mois-
ture conditions are the same for all.
Posts Of each species of wood were
handled in seven different ways. Some
we're set in the ordinary way without
treatment of any kind. These VA
serve as a check. Some Eere set 10
gravel so as to test the benefit. II any
from having better drainage around the
post. Others had the lower three fee
charred. Another series we're giVer
two brush coats of hot creosote, spread
ing it over the lower three feet. A httt
series was given one brush coat OF no
; carbolineum. The sixth series was treat
; ed with creosote by the open tank meth
cd described in Circular 81 Of the Mis-
Il souri, Agricultural Experiment Station
The same method was followed with tn
seventh series except that the post
were soaked in cresote for two and one
half houls in each bath.
So the long distance race ls onI mis-
Il soun farmers will be interested
watching this test Of endurance. 1t wi

Missouri Hen Day.

Missouri is the greatest poultry
state in tie Union. We admit 1t,
and we are proud of it. A lar
ger number Of Missouri citizens
are engaged in poultry raising
either to large or small extent
than are engaged in any other
single industry. The value OF
the poultry and eggs produced IN
Missouri last year was greater
than the value OF Missourrs I'M
mense wheat crop, or OF any
other single product OF the farm'
factory or mine.
The organization to whlch
credid is largely due for the pres
ent magnitude of the poultry IN
d.sry in Missouri is the Miss
ouri Poultry Association. For
nearly quarter of a century
this Association has been
mighty power for the bettermen'
Of the industry. But there Is
still work to do. The poultry
industry in Missouri is only IN
its infancy. There is yet vast
room for growth and improve
ment. Profits might easily and
!, quickly be doubled by a more
t general use of modern methoo'
and practices.
O There is a contagious enthusl-
: asm and inspiration in concerted
VI action which makes molehllls OUT

WHITE FOR COUNTY AUDITOR.

According to last weeks issue Of
the Kamiah Progress, James B. White,
formerly of Grangeville, is slated for
appointment of county clerk and audi
tor of Lewis county to succeed Auditor
Clovis, resigned. Mr.. White was form
erly deputy auditor in Idaho county
and was always capable, efficient
official. The Progress says:
A petition was circulated here this
week and was universally signed urg-
ing the appointment of James b. White
as auditor of Lewis county to succeed
Clyde E. Clovis, who has resigned to
look after his business interests in Ho.
Mr.. Clovis has been worthy official
during his term Of office and has al
ways served the best interests of the
people. Mr.. White, who has been serv-
ing in the capacity of deputy auditor
has already proved his ability in the
office and the commissioners will make
no mistake in putting him in charge of
the office. His long experience along
this line and his record in the office
at Nezperce, make him the right man
for the place and capable successor
of the present auditor.

TEACHERS EMPLOYED.
School Board Keeps High School In.
structors to Continue Good Work.

At an adjourned meeting of the
school board held at the new school
building Monday afternoon Superin-
tendent Rice, and Mr.. Staley, Miss
Dresser and Miss Gwinn were formally
re-engaged as instructors in the Grange.
vile High school for the 1914-1915
term.
Some Of the applications for teacher
ships in the grades were considered but
the board will have no announcement
to make as to its selections in these
departments until after next week 5
meeting. Janitor Amos Markham was
also re-employed for next year.
The action of the board in retaining
Messrs. Rice and Staley and the Misses
Dresser and Gwinn will doubtless meet
with universal approval as it is a well
known fact that these capable and en-
terprising instructors are popular with
the entire student body and the school
patrons alike. The board has many
applications for each position in the
grades, over 100 having been received
and placed on file.

City Dads Repeal Ordinance-Clean Up

At the regular session of the city

Of occupation tax was taken up and
discussed and after considerable talk it
was agreed to repeal the present ordi-
nance effecting this tax and frame
new one, this will probably be under
taken at the new meeting. 1t appears
there has always been considerable OBJ.
lection to paying an additional burden
by the business men and the feeling
that it was unfair and unjust has been
growing from year to year. The fact
that various professions and business
houses have been exempt from it has
not set very well with those who have
been digging up and as a result ac-
cording to statement of the chief of
police, upon whose shoulders falls the
pleasant duty of collecting this tribute
from the poor business man, there are
but three business houses who pay with
out protest.
Two days for general cleanup will
be arranged for some time during the
first week of May when all the rub
bish, etc, will be taken to the dump
free by the city. The matter of con-
structing a crosswalk on Idaho avenue
came up and received favorable action
This is the street leading to the depot
and such crossing is badly needed.

best programs of its kind ever given
in this city. A splendid offering for
benevolent work was contributed at the
close of the service,
