Mr. Cushman, the writer of the mon ograph on the “Corrosion of Fence Fire,** argue* that, although It la prob able that the effects of electrolysis In a fence wire are extremely small, It must be remembered that they are con tinually going on whenever the wire Is wet In almost all modern steel wov en wire fences some wires will be found to far outlast others, independent of the original weight of the galvanised covering which they carry. If in wov en wire fence all the wires would last as well as the best ones do there would have been no complaints. It Is just this point of unevenness of lasting quality In wires from successive beats in the same mill which have practically the name chemical composition that Is hard to explain by any theory but that of galvanic or electrolytic action. The facte-e-s believed that the **bole trouble was In the unevenness in the weight of zinc covering that was put on the wire, but experiment and I observations show that this is rot so. Some wires will go to pieces before ©them, although there Is no discernible difference either in the weight or qual ity of the zinc covering. In one fence which has been under observation for four years one wire was in perfect con dition, although It carried a light cov ering of zinc, while the wire next to It was badly rusted from end to end. Ohaarvatloaa la tha Field. Almost every one who has carefully Inspected woven wire fencing as It Is exposed to the weather on the farm, •ays Mr. Cushman, has observed that some of the wires go to pieces much more rapidly than others. The bot tom wires lying close to the ground, which are kept wet lu summer by the growth of weeds and grass and In winter by melting snow, are naturally the ones which we should expect to rust moot quickly. As a matter of fact, however, they almost never do so, but, on the contrary, are far more lasting than the wires farther removed from tbo ground. This observation has been substantiated by a large number of competent observers. One would not seek to preserve iron from rust or zinc from corrosion by ■ laying these metals away in wet snow or weeds. If, however, electrolysis takes place and If the action can be diminished by keeping the wires electrically neutral through frequent connections to the earth or through frequent short cir cuits we should then expect that wires which were kept their whole length in constant contact with the earth would In the long run show greater lasting quality. T*le*raph Wlra. The process of making telegraph wire Is noted, and It Is explained that “tele graph wire Is generally acknowledged to be more durable than fence wire” and thai-!!care is exorcised In the man ufacture of telegraph wire to keep the manganese low, because this element Increases the electrical resistance of the wire. The difficulty experienced In rolling low manganese steel ond the slow rate of speed at which the mill must be run to draw the wire through the zinc bath In the doable process of galvanizing add materially to the cost of the product. The question then arises whether or not high grade fence wire is worthy the same care and con sideration that are given to wire which brings a higher price in the market and is used for other purposes.

Strickland, pastor of the Spruce street Northern Methodist Episcopal church, of this city, was run down and killed by a street car early Saturday morn ing. Hr. Strickland attempted to cross the track in front of a rapidly moving car. He was dragged several yards and horribly mangled, his body being almost cut In two. Dr. Strick land was a native of, Wayne county, this state, and was 44 years old. He was a prominent divine of the North ern Methodist church. Cowpoaa Followed by We have one and a half acres of land which was planted to cowpeos In JUXtt and from which we cut about three tons of the* richest hay that grows. This year (1906) we planted it to cane and made 170 gallons of molasses and thrashed 100 bushels of cane seed off the one and s half acres. V(e think the cowpeos are the best fertilising crop the farmer can raise.
