At a discussion at the Centennial Grange Encampment, I see that many advised set ting fence posts top-end down, although no one could give any reason for their lasting longer in that position. This question may often have arisen in the minds ot the readers of the Country Gentleman. A study of veg etable physiology led me to try several ex periments, many years ago, to throw light upon this question. The sap or moisture goes up in the sap-wood from the roots to the leaves of trees. I found if the post is butt end down, the pores are open upward, and water can go up, and thus keep the post moist between wind and water, which must cause a rapid decay. It appeared probable that the pores were open oulv upward, and not downward in the tree. To lest this, 1 cut a small maple sapling (two inches through) in May, leaving the limbs all on, and placed the butt-end in a pail of brine. In 36 hours the leaves were saturated with this brine, the taste of the salt being strong. At the same time, I had cut another maple sapling, and cut off the top branch, leaving the rest of the limbs on. After winding a cloth over the butt end, to prevent evapora tion, I placed the top end in a pail of brine, and allowed it to remain several days, but no brine had been absorbed at the top end. It had not even penetrated the pores as far as the end was immersed in the brine, for if the bark was scraped, there was not the slightest taste of salt to be touDd. This being the case in the green tree, how much more must the pores of the dry tree be closed from the top end downward? I have tried many sim ilar experiments, and think the question settled that if a post placed top end down, no moisture can ascend from the bottom of the hole up the post to rot it; but when the bult end is down, the moisture can ascend the pores very rapidly if green, and slowly if dry. Seasoned posts are found to last mucl^ longer, because the pores are more or less filled in the seasoned wood. I should also infer that placing the top end in a down would make more difference green than a dry post. In pursuance of the fact that the pores of green timber are open from the butt to the top, timber has been often saturated with differerent solutions to preserve it, by immersing the butt end, freshly cut, in the solution to be absorbed. It will also be noted that burning or charring the post only closes the pores and prevents the absorption of water—Country Gentleman The Packing Season. The present packing season has now fairly opered, and about all the leading houses around Chicago are engaged in the business to a greater or less extent. The receipts of hogs for the first half of the present month have been about 67,000 head less than for the corresponding time last year. We have no doubt but the Presidential canvass and elec tion has interfered to some extent with the movement of Bogs and packing operations thus far this season, and then it is stoutly claimed from various portions of the country that hog choleta has materially reduced the supply. Be that as it may, we have been for some time satisfied that the entire packing business of the couutry was in process of change as to its entire character. The sum mer packing business has come to be very formidable, and we have no doubt will oper ate in the near future so as to nearly equalize the packing business among all the months of the year. During the last summer there was a large increase iu this summer packing bus iness here at Chicago and at all other points in the country where this business is carried on. This, of course, has operated to reduce the natural supply of hogs for the present regular season a good deal below what we should have bad under other circumstances. As the case now stands we shall not want much winter packed meat in the future as iu former years, as the summer packing will no doubt continue to increase in future. Meats that are cured in the winter become very hard and dry, losing all the natural juice and chiefly on this account the newly cured meat from the bouses that are engaged in the summer packing is much more popular with consumers than the hard salted winter-cured meat, and as they can now have a full supply of newly-cured meat during any month in the year it is likely that the winter-cuied meat will, in the near future, be reduced nearly to the summer standard as to quanti ty. It is true that the curing of meat in the winter can be done much more cheaply than in the summer; but we think the growing prejudice against the winter curing will more than offset the difference in this respect.— Drover's Journal, Chicago. Grapes as Food. We have on former occasions referred to the value of fruits as articles i f diet, both in health and in sickness. Grapes may deserv edly clame a high rank among fbe fruits in this respect. They contain a considerable amount of hydro-carbonaceous matter, to gatber with potassium salts—a combination which does not tend to irritate, but, on the contrary, to soothe the stomach,and which is consequently used with advantage even in dyspepsia. Accoding to Dr. Hartsen, of Cannes, in France, who has recently con tributed an article on the subject to an foreign medical journal, the organic acids in the grape, especially tartaric acid, deserves more consideration than they have generally received. Their nutritive value has, he thinks, been much underrated. It is known that they are changed to carbonic acid in the blood, and possibly careful research may show that they are convertible into fats. Dr. Hartsen thinks that they should be rank ed with the carbo-hydrates as food. They have been found a valuable diet in fever, and the success of the “grape-cures” in the Tyrol and other parts of Europe appears to show that they are positively beneficial in other diseases. No doubt the good results of a resi dence at these establishments are in a measure to be ascribed to the climate and the general hygienic discipline adopted. The advantage does not wholly consist in the fact that so many pounds of grapes are eaten daily, but partly in the fact that other less healthful things are not eaten; and pure air and exer cise are also important elements in the cura tive treatment. But after giving all due weight to these allied influences we must allow no small fraction of the beneficial result to the grapes. We rejoice, therefore, at the increased cul tivation of the vine in this country, and hope to see it go on extending wherever soil and climate permit. Let every man who can do it plant a centennial grape vine, or a score of vines, beside the “centennial tree” which the papers have been advising him to set out. He can eat the fruit of the former sooner than he can sit under the shade of the latter, and his children will bless his memory for both.— Boston Journal of Chemistry. Vermin on Sheep. Dr. J. C. Y. Smith said that most of the preparations offered for ridding sheep of in sects have oil (or the basis, and he believed that common oil or lard thoroughly rubbed through the wool is as effective as any elabo rate concoction. The insects breathe through minute orifices in their sides, and any mat ter which closes these destroys them; 'grease will accomplish this, hence his reasoning that the wool well oiled will exterminate ticks. Mr. Lawrence testified to the fact that years ago before people had learned to util ize it with greater profit, condemned butter was bought up at a low figure and exported to England for the purpose of rubbing sheep, whether for ticks or some other disease, he was not able to affirm. A member said that smearing or salving sheep is a custom rarely practiced in this country, though common in Scotland and other countries in cold, exposed positions. This salve is usually made of butter or grease aod tar, in proportions of one pait tar to twelve of grease. The salviDg may be done any lime after shearing, but it is generally performed late in October. The object is to prevent vermin and skin diseases, and to fur nish additional warmth to the fleeces oi breeds that are deficient in volk. The mix ture is not required for fine-wooled sheep.— Exchange. Chicken Jelly Boil a pa'r of chickens until you can puil Iba meat from the bones; remove all the meat and the bones to boil half an hour longer; stand this in a cool place and it will become jellied; the next day cut the meat into small pieces, melt the jelly and throw it in; then add two ta blespoomuis of Worcestershire sauce, two of walnut sauce, one tablespoonful of salt, a pinch of powdered mace, cloves and allspice; slice ten hard-boiled eggs and two lemons, line a large bowl or form with these slices, then pour in the mixture and let it staud in a cool place (but cot to freeze). The water should just cov er the chickens when put to boil. This is a very ornamental dish and keeps for a long while. Portland Wholesale Prices Current. Corrected for tlie Fbess to Jan. 10, 1876.
