Naturally the proportion of these two

sites of a good tie, with the exception

A beech tie generally consists large
ly of sapwood, which partly accounts
for Its lack of durability, but, on the
other hand, allows a thorough and
nreservatlve treatment. In Ger
many and France, beech ties have been
successfully preserved from oeuy
extensively. Beech
is found widely distributed throughout
the eastern part of the United Biaies,
and at the present time is compai
tlvely cheap and abundant. If, there
fore, the railroads whose lines are
located in the regions where beech Is
abundant can make use of this wood,
treated with some suitable preserva
tive, another source of supply of tie
timber "will be opened up.
