DURABILITY OF TIMBER
Mrs. Griffith, a lady of New-Jersey,
whose agricultural and economical writings
have conterred grejit benefits on the com
munity, recoinnteiKls felling trees for posts
and timber in August. Logs designed for*
posts siiould be seasoned twclvo months,
then sawed, and each piece charred at tho
bottom. Posts, says Mrs. Grifiith, cut and
charred iA this way, will last twenty years,
but unless the wood is cut in August, and
seasoned in some dry placc, it is worse than
useless to char them.
Perhaps we may be accused of a want of
respect to the opinions of the fair author,
but we confess we are by no means certain
tiiat August is the best month to fell trees
for timl^r. We know of no facts, nor are
we aware that any experiments have lieeu
made, on the comparative durability of tim
ber, cut in different months, from which
any thing like certainty can be deduced.—
On this subject, as well as on the influence
of the moon on animals and vegetables, wo
believe there is more of superstition than
truth in the discordant opiuions which are
prevalent. Were it necessary, authority
could be adduced, to prove thnt severally
each month in the year is the mast suitable
j tor fl'lling timber. If one month or one
I quarter of the moon is more favorable than
another, how is it that so much diversity of
opiiiion prevails among those who have hud
the iHjst opportunities for observation 1
Conversing with an aged gentleman on
this subject, he informed us that abf)ut twen
ty-five years ago, he set a range of fence.
The posts used, were all cut at the same
time, and app-.irently of the same quality.
Some of them rotted in the course ol 1‘2

We have also heard it stated, and have no
reason to doubt its correctness, that a far
mer of this place cut on each of two suc
cessive days a load of cedar from the same
swamp; the fence made from the first was
remarkably durable; that f.’om the other
rotted and became worthiest! in a very fe-.v
years. Such facts as these show that the
durability of timber depends not on the
month in which it is felled, but on other
causes which arc not j-et well understooil.

Small and very weak one. No man of

The individual who staii.ls up, in the fiiee

their ability to exist without Idlior, must
be destitute of one. two very necessrary
