I 1860 I had about 200 Osago-ornbge etaltes cut from n ledgo, thon about one thok in disinotor. They wero used n yoar .or two for Lima boans,, whion thoy weio put in the viueyard; and now only tho (hin sap-wood ls decayed, and tho {usidé is nound, 8ix yonrs ago I sat 500 vines of tho Ives Boodling, and used a largo: numbor of stnkes ot the catalps, maplo, and . Qsago. . Nearly oll .. tho. catalpn aro rotton, and . .ibe mhples aro all gone, while: thé .Ossge. remain sound, A fow of the cnn;lgn have the hoart- wood sound; snd I shonld- judga: that the heart~ wood of. good-sized freci would Jadt a:long timo,—much longer than butt-oak, which will do good _Borvios o goneration ;.while 'the Ossgo. in almost.indostructibio by. time,—this littie sap- ling of an inch belug sound after fourtebn year: Whilo , tho catalpe of 4 inchés aro. rottes off, but these wéra mostly sap-tvood. .This gpring I havo put in a largo number of réd codar stakos, from 8 to 4 inohes in dismoter at.tho biso, Theso have about1inchof thorod wood, dr heart-wood, at tha contra. They had baen planted in rows 4 feot wido and 2 foet in the rows, and aro a dozen yoaxs old, baving been planted 4t 2 yoars old. As rogards cconomy, tho Osage stake aro much. tho cheapest, and . will xo 'doubt Inst ns.. lony ab, . or . longor thmn, the red. cedar, The larch stakes, have about the same proportion of eap-wood:as thoe rod codar, and that 18 gone in fivo dr six yoars, while tho heart-wood remains sound. ' The Ilinois . Cen. tral and other railroads that. aro planting the Inrch for cross-tios, should also plant Osnge, and ‘8t tho Sonth the catalpa, Tor tho same purposo,: nnd give them zll the same troatment. North of 40 dograos tho larch may takothoe Joad, butsouth of that. point the others will. do - as weil, .if not.bottar, for this purpese. It is probable that Jarch-timber grown in Wisconsin will .be moro ‘durablo than that growniin Missouri, while tho oatalpa land, Osago will do better in Toxas than in Qontral Illinois;. .. - iRy ' In Toonesece the small rod codara mppoarto have very little szp-wood, but: here . tlie case is quite difforent. It is possible thal, a8 the trees ot oldor, tho proportion of sap-wood will bo 088, 1 s T T This mattor of durability of timbor should nob bo overlooked by tho farmer, as he nceds vine- yard stalcos, fonce-posts, basides posts and poles for sheds, corn-cribs, and otber uses, Now thnb larch-plents may_ be bad for &7 por 1,000, and Osago for 43, .and even loss, no farmer should It the time pnss without putting in & 4-rod bolt of 40 or 80 rads.
