that decay, in a certain number of
years, cuts the diameter from perhaps
12 to 8 inches, and that below N inches
the weakened pole falls, the couiac
to be pursued is obvious. Antisep-
tics prevent, for Uie time of their ef-
fectiveness. the starting of decay ami
thus permit at the outset tho selec-
tion of an 8-Inch diameter rather than
a 12-incli The I Inches saved rep-
resents a tremendous difference in the
size and age of trees used for poles.
Both the companies amrthe owners of
forests will be great gainers bt th:
economy, with the shortening m the
length*of time necessary to grow a
pole.
I'nder the advice of the Hurcau of
Forestry the Gulf. Colorado ami Santa
*l'e Railroad eight months ago began
to experiment with wooden tie-plates.
These platen are intended to protect
the tie from wear under the rails
They are cfct the width of the bottom
of the rail and as long as the tie is
wide—usually G or 7 inches—and are
kept in place by the weight of the
rail, iit a flat, groove in t hess tie. TI; ■
results of the experiment are of much
interest both to the railroads of the
country and to those* who have at
heart the cause of forest proteetlop.
The Santa Fe placed cypress tie-
plates one-quarter of an inclT thick on
several thousand old and much-worn
cypress ties laid in ^fs track north of
Galveston. Tex. After eight months of
constant use the plates are perfectly
sound and show practically not. a trace
of wear. The officials of the road are
greatly pleased with the result of this
trial.
The nureau of Forestry will now
make nimilar experiments with rerl
gum. red oak. and beech tie-plates,
which w ill be placed in the tracks or
the St. Louis and San Francisco, tho
Burlington, and the^ Northern Jaciflc
systems. These are all harder wood
than cypress, ami are therefore le.HJ?
liable to wear under the rails, but
i are much more subject to decay. The
tie-plates made from these woods will
therefore ail be heavily creoSOted.
This will make them about as resis-
tant to decay as the tintreated®evpress,
while their much greater hardness will
better qualify them to resist the wear
of the rails.
