VQQD PRESERVAT
Timber Properly Treated Will Al
- most Last Indefinately.
NEW METHODS OF TREATMENT
As the Length of the Life of Timber
is Increased the Drain Upon the
Forests is Lessened and More
Wood is Available For Use.
"Timber thoroughly treated with
proper preservatives will last almost
indefinitely," says a government ex
pert who is an authority on wood
preservation. "Engineers have known
for years that this is tri" he contin
ues, "but up to the present time, at
least in America, complicated and ex
pensive plants have been necessary
for the work and wood preservation
has often been too expensive an op
eration to allow treated timber to
come into general use."
Methods in wood preservation have
undergone a marked change in the
last few years, however, and the work
which a few years ago was limited
to a few experiments carried on in
scattered parts of the United States
has grown with such rapidity that
wood preservation has become a
business which figures most promin
ently in the industrial life of this
country.
' Each year railroads are treating an
increasing portion of their cross ties,
miners their mine props, farmers
their fence posts and the men of
many other industries are bringing
preservatives into play to close the
pores and prepare the timber they
use to'resist the fungi which cause
decay. The work points the way to
one of the chief means of the con
servation of the nation's resources,
for as the length of the life of tim
ber is increased the drain upon the
forests is lessened, and more wood
made available for use.
In nearly all localities in the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific states is found
an abundant supply of certain kinds
of timber which have only a slight
commercial importance. Engelmami
spruce, lodgepole and other kinds of
pine, aspen, and cottonwood are only
a partial list of the kinds of wood
which are strong enough and abund
ant enough to win high value for con
struction purposes, were it not for
one single defect which has prevent
ed their general adoption. When ex
posed to the soil and weather they
decay so rapidly that they have to be
renewed too often to justify their
use. -
Dead timber of lodgepole pine and
other species also is found in large
tract-?, but is sharply discriminated
against by all constructing engineers
and contractors. As a matter of fact
the dead timber, provided it is sound,
is just as good as green timber of
the same species; and indeed, in some
ways, is even more valuable. For it
is well known that thoroughly sea
soned timber is both stronger and
more durable than the same timber
when green. Timber which was kill
ed by fire or insects, and which is
still in a sound condition, differs from
green timber chiefly in being thor
oughly seasoned that is to say, it
is stronger, more durable and lighter.
And so not only are the freight rates
considerably reduced, but a' better
grade of timber secured.
Even in a thoroughly seasoned con
dition, lodgepole pine, F.ngelrnann
spruce, and the other species men
tioned above, are by no means dur
able woods when compared with
Douglas fir, Oregon cedar, and the
other, kinds of wood which are used
so extensively in construction work,
complete with such timbers in spite
of their lower price, they must be
made to last longer under unfavor
able conditions.
After several years study, the Unk
ed States Forest Service has proved
that in many cases the complicated
and expensive plants are not neces
sary for the proper treatment of
many kinds of timber; and that many
of the timbers which decay most rap
idly in the natural state, are among
the easiest and cheapest to treat.
Many of the species mentioned above
offer little resistance to the entrance
of the preservative. The principle
of the method is to immerse the
thoroughly seasoned wood in a hot
bath of the liquid, leave it in for a
few. hours, and then either plunge it
into cold bath of a preservative, or
else run out the hot liquid from the
treating tank, and fill it up again with
liquid of a lower temperature. This
requires only the simplest kind . of

machinery, and the cost of operation
is so slight that even cheap timbers
like fence posts and shingles can be
treated by the average ; farmer of
small means.
Although the Forest Service, by
experiments in nil portions of the
country, considers that the practica
bility of the process has been conclu
sively proved, more or less difficulty
has-been encountered in inducing
others to adopt the process on a
commercial scale. In order to dem
onstrate beyond any doubt that the
process is adapted to commercial
treatment, the service has arranged
to erect small treating p!ants-cmi-commcrcial
in size on several of the
National Forests. Tests will be
made on the local timbers, and care
ful record kept of the cost of the
work. The treated timber will then
be placed in permanent position,
where its future durability can be
compared with untreated timber of
the same or other kinds.
Three such plants will be erected
this spring, and it is expected that
they will be in successful operation
by early summer. According to the
present plans one plant will be erect
ed at some locality on or near the
Black .Hills National Forest, South
Dakota, another on the Holy Cross
National Forest in Coloredo ;and the
tlird on the Henrys Lake National
Forest near St. Anthony, Idaho.
The investigations in wood preser
vation by the use of creosote, jvhich
is nothing more than the dead oil
of coal tar and tine chloride, is con
sidered of such importance by the
government that one branch of a
bureau in the Department of Agri
culturethe "Office of Wood Pres
ervation" in the Forest Serviceis
given over entirely to the work of
experiments in co-operation with
railroad companies, mining corpora
tions and individuals who desire to
prolong the life of the timber which
they use. Advice and practical as
sistance is furnished all who request
it of the Forester at Washington.

CHURCH AND CLERGY. ,
Rev. William Hurlin, aged ninety'
three years, preached recently at the
Antrim Presbyterian church. He is
doubtless the oldest minister who on
that day preached from a New
Hampshire pulpit.
"I see no reason," says Rev. John
L. Scudder of Jersey City, "why the
face of a Christian should be as long
as that of a horse. Personally I in
tend to get all the legitimate fun out
of life that I can, and I get a good
deal of it."
The Second Congregational church
at Famouth, Mass., built in 1821,, was
turned end for end twenty years later
to get a bequest of $10,000 left by a
member who did noHike the.way the
church stood, and a monument has
now been erected with an inscription
stating these facts.
Chabmerlains's Has the Preference
Mr. Fred. C. Hanrahan, a promi
nent druggist of Portsmouth, Va..
says: "For the past six years I
have sold and recommended Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea
Remedy. It is a great remedy and
one of the best patent medicines on
the market. I handle some others
for the same purposes that pay me a
larger profit, but this remedy is so
sure to effect a cure, and my custom
er so certain to appreciate my recom
mending it to him, that I give it the
preference." For sale by Frank Hart
