The length of life of wood plpo Is depondent on tho llfo of tho wood rathor than on tho life of tho bands, although contrary theories woro held !I0 years ago. Only In rare Instances linvo tho bands failed first. Corro sion of the bands being a chemical action, requires tho presence of mois ture and oxygen. It usually occurs mot rapidly whoro pipes are burled and tho backfill Is wot, under condi tions which, as a rule, are most fa vorablo for tho llfo of tho wood. Cor rotlou Is greatly accellerated by the prtHrence of alkali In the soil. The decay of wood plpo Is due pri marily to the growth of fund, though possibly certain forms of bacteria may assist In the final destruction of the wood cells. Tho growth of fungi to an extent detrimental to the life of tho wood requires a favorable combination of moisture, nlr and boat. Tho exclusion of any ono of thee beyond certain limits Inhibits their growth. Kxcludit Air. It follows that with pipes burled In tho ground the wood will end nro longost where the air Is mot nearly oxoludcd either by a high Internal pressure wnich completely wuurutos It or by a deep covering of vory fine son. nrdson becomo so dcstructlvo In North Da kota.

Concentrated Cider. Hitherto tho market for elder has boon limited, duo to tho fact that it enn only bo kept sweet a short tlmo nnd that its bulk mnkos Its trans portation too expensive when long distances nro to bo covered.
