MAKING FENCE POSTS LAST.

Does it pay to treat fence posts with
a preservatiYe in order to make them
last longer? Is it possible to treat
cottonwood, elm, sycamore, or bass
wood posts SO that they will last as
long as a good white oak or black
locust post does without treatment?
The Missouri College of Agriculture
has started an experiment which will
help to answer these questions.
On November 80, 1913, the Forestry
Department of the Missouri College
of Agriculture set the last of 5S3 posts
representing 27 different kinds of wood.
The posts were set two feet deep on a
level piece of land where soil and
moisture conditions are the same for
all. Posts of each species of wood
were handled in seven different ways.
Some were set in the ordinary way
without treatment of any kind. These
will serve as a check. Some were set
in gravel so as to test the benefit, if
any, from having better drainage
around the post. Others had the low
er three feet charred. Another series
were given two brush coats of hot
creosote, spreading it over the lower
three feet. A fifth series was given
one brush coat of hot carbolineum.
The sixth series was treated with Gre
osote by the open tank method de-
scribed in Circular 81 of the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station The
same method was followed with the
seventh series except that the posts
were soaked for two and one-half
hours in each bath.
So the long distance race is on!
Missouri farmers will be interested in
watching this test of endurance 1t
will probably take a good many years
before the whole race Is finished and
the last contender checked in, but long
before the end we will know a few
things about fence post durability and
fence post economy that we only
guess at now.

MALE STENoGRAPAERS AND
TYPEWRiTERS IN
DEMAND,

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that while it
has no difficulty in securing sufficient
female stenographers and typewriters
to meet the needs of the departments
at Washington, the supply of male
eligibles has not been equal to the
demand Young men who are at least
Is years of age and who are willing to
accept the usual entrance salaries,
which are $S40 and 5000 a year, have
excellent opportunities for appoint
ment. While the entrance salaries are
low, advancement is reasonably rapid
to those meriting it. The examinations,
which any competent stenographer
should be able to pass, are held each
month in the year, except December,
at the principal cities Of the United
States.

DRAIN THE WET LANDS.

Underdrainage is not in it's expert
mental stage. In England, after the
good effects of draining retentive soils
became generally known, the work of
draining went on very rapidly, and it
soon became difficult to rent those
soils in their undrained state.
Whether underdrainage does or does
not pay is, of course, the prime ques-
tion which the landowner considers
when contemplating such work No
array of figures will be here given to
show that underdrainage pays, but the
farmers attention is invited to some
effects of underdrainage, perhaps in
his own field, which he may have no
ticed without referring them to their
true cause. The difference between
the fine corn fringing a deep ditch cut
through some rich bottom and stunted
corn little farther out from the ditch
when the land has been made marsh
by excessive rain is the effect of un-
derdrainage. The promising crop grow
ing on the well-tilled banks of your
canal or creek while a little farther
out you have given up trying has been
made possible by the soil drainage ef-
fected by the deep channel Of the
creek. Perhaps the good crop extends
100 feet or more from the creek and
then dwindles to nothing. What If
there had been another deep channel
out there and parallel to the creek?
1t would have made good another belt
100 feet wide, and so on across the
field. But in the place of the open
channel a line of small tiles placed at
the same depth would have had the
same effect.
The above paragraph was suggest
ed by the writer's recollection of one
of his own fields planted to corn some
years ago. The spring weather having
been fine, the crop was planted early
and was growing vigorously when, to-
wards the middle of May it began to
rain. The crop, beginning at the mar
gin of the canal which bordered one
side of the field, and extending out
about 100 feet continued to grow rap
idly through the rainy period; but at
that distance it began to turn yellow.
No cultivation after the rains ceased
could restore the color to that crop,
and the only corn of consequence made
was gathered from the narrow strip
extending along the canal This land
was afterwards underdrained, and
since drained has produced profitable
crops every year.-Jesse G. Whitfield,
in The Progressive Farmer.

There are various simple cures for
insomnia. The secret of the hot milk
cure, often recommended for insomnia,
lies in slipping the beverage just before
retiring. The act of slowly swallow.
ing the liquid is soothing in its effect
and generally produces the much de-
sired drowsy feeling which leads to
the coveted sleep. Bathing the feet
in warm water just before going to
bed is sometimes effective in inducing
slumber The use of drugs should be
avoided, as once the habit is estab.
ltshed it is not easy to secure sleep
without them, and serious results are
sure to ensue. Exchange.
