Decay or rot in .fence posts is caused by fungi and bacteria. Wood tissue being largely cellulose is a good food. for bacteria and fungi, and the moist, away from light, con- dition just beneath the surface of the soil 4s also suitable to their develop- ment. Hence we see the posts rotting oft just below the surface of the soil in which such are set. When ae post IS soaked with creosote it becomes a poison medium to the fungl and. bacteria that maY-attack it; and their growth is greatly retarded. Coal tar creosote is the -most satisfactory pre- servative that we ,can use on the farms. The posts to be treated raust he thoroughly PseaSoned and dry to absorb sufficient creosote. The prac- tice of spraying or brushing. on hot creosote is not a very profitable one, as the wood does not absorb enough of the preServativeto be of much use. How to Get Best Results.

H, ,ereandThere Although the Canadian Pacific Railway has yet issued no forecast of construction conternplated for 1924, the fact that it, has ordered 50,000 tons of steel from the Algorea Steel Company, of Sault Ste, Marie, seems to indicate that ite program will be extensive. According to, a statement recently made by the Hon. Charles MeCrea, Minieter" df Mines' for the Province of Ontario, 85 per cent of the world's nickel supply is being taken out in the vicinity' of Sudbury, where there is an inexhaustible 'supply of this metal. Alberta's butter production last year was 18,500,000- pormas, or 2,000,000 pounds more than in 1922,. according to•reports presented at the annual meeting of the Alberta Dairymen's Association. It was not so long ago that Alberta was using butter imported from New Zealand. The year 1923 was a favorable one in the building and construc- tion activities of Canada; and re- turns show an advance of about 10 per cent. In 1922 the total expeedi- tires in this regard were $315,000,- 000, and in 1923 U45,000,000, an' increase of $30,000,000. , Exports of pulpwood from Canada for the Year 1923 amounted to 1,- 384,230 cords, compared with 1,011,- 382 for 1,922, an increase of 3'72,898 cords or 35 per cent. The 1623 fig- ures are equivalent to about 900,000 tons -of newsprint, the amount which, can be 'manufactured from that amount 'of wood. C. E. E. Usher, General Passen- ger Traffic Manager, and E. J Hebert, First Assistant General Passenger Agent, of the Canadian 'Pacific Railway, have been present- ed, with medals by the French Gov- ernment, in recognition a their ser- vices to the French Exhibition train in Canada in 1921. The medals take the form of tablets on mall stands. Attention has 'been drawn' 'once more by airship experts in London, England, to the fact that the only known supply of helium gas in the `British Empire exists in the Prov- ince of Alberta, that 10,000,000 feet of this gas is going to waste an- 'nually in this peovince and that the possibility of establishing, an air- ship base at some future date in Al- berta is being discussed. Canada's fisheries production dur- ing 1923 is estimated to be worth $40,000,000. At the beginning of the year it was not thought that anything like this mark would be, reached, for the Fordney tariff had ceetedteakerepen.eeenorts to the Uniteesd ete... _ ,,., • ...., -... ..,----ese -, ,asease- States. But as the year wore on the demand and prices generally ism- a peoved; thus giving fishermen along the Atlantic coast especially a neech better price. Official figures recently issued show that the Dominion of Canada is the greatest single contributor to the wheat .supply of the world. ghe stands second only to the United States in automobile exports. Her flour exports are far ahead of the palmiest war years and are rape idly gaining in the foreign markets. Canada's mineral, forest, agricui- tur.al and fisheries' industries are now valued at $2,420,000,000, or $252,000,000 higher than a year ago. .. British immigration during the — nine months ended December, tot- alled 64,127, compared with 28,525 in the correspondirig period of the 1 previous year, an, increase of 125 per cent. Immigration from the United States was 17,282, compared with 18,982, a decrease of nine per cent. Total immigration for the nine-month period of '1923 was 124,- 680, compared with 60,247 in the same period in the previous year, an increase of 107 per cent. The Canadian Pacific Railway has received from Boorings, Willis, Faber & Company, 2,152.10 pounds sterling for distribution to the of- ficers and crew of the steamship "Empress of Australia." for saving their snip and for salvaging during the Japanese earthquake. For the purpose of, purchasing a memento to be presented to Captain Samuel Robinion, C.B:E., It.N.R., then C0111- mander 'of the "Empress of Austra- lia" and now commander of the "Empress of Canada" on her world cruise, 210 pounds sterling have been retained from the above amount. Plans are being made to honor the captain when the "Em- press of Canada reaches Yoko- hama next May, the Japanese gov- ernment participating in the cere- monies.

Cottage cheese may be made in any home by permitting tbe rnilk to sour naturally until it curdles or clabbers. Cut the curd into fine pieces with a knife and cook slowly over a slow fire, preLerably at the back of the stove, until the curd contracts and .wheys off..
