corning the results OF this measure,
and has published some Of the statis-

PROPER WAY TO PLANT POST

The average person in planting 3

the upper end is in the ground This
he does on the hypothesis that mOis-
ture win follow the same course in
the post that sap pursued In the tree
from which the post was taken. In
point Of fact, water flows either way
through the pores Of dead wood so
that as far as the transmission OF
moisture is concerned, It does not
matter which end Of a post is in the
ground.
A hundred and twenty-five posts set
20 years ago have just been carefully
examined for information on this very
point. Eighty-six Of them were placed
in the ground top up, and 80 top down.
OF the former. Is OF II per cent,
were decayed, as against 10, or 80 per
cent. Of the latter.
The observer very logically con.
eludes that the direction Of the flow
Of moisture through the posts had
little or nothing to do with their con.
dition In all instances the greatest
decay was at the ground line, and,
naturally enough, the posts in which
the smallest diameters we're at this
line had suffered the most.
The conclusion arrived at is. there
fore, that If posts are to endure to
their limit they must be so set that
their largest diameter is at the ground
line. The question as to which end
Is up ia Of no practical Importance.
