USE CREOSOTED _ FENCE POSTS. |Trat Your Owi Posts m The Farm.? Last Frou 15 to 20 Years. Clumson t'olleg*. -With the devel opment of our livestock industry and the resulting increased heed for pas tures. fencing become* an important problem. A troublesome phase oi| | Ibis problem is lectin* fence posts. Laoi-llved fence posts can easily be : ui.uir from most of the common Infer ior wood* by a simple preservative treatment on the farm. Properly creoaoted, these non-lasting woods make posts good for 16 to SO years, says W. R. MsttooB, K* tension Spe cialist* in Forestry. Kinds of Wood to Uss. Most of oar common woods readily take in creosote, a product of the dis tillation of coal which makes wood i)b? it very resistant to fungi, or rot. and to practically all forms of animal life which injure wood. Sap pine, soft or red maple, black gum. sweet gum. beech, red and black oaks, ootton wood, willow, the poplars, are good examples of non-lasting woods which are easily treated, the wood becoming tho container for the preservative Quid. Because of cross bands of tis sue of the various white oaks, they are unsuitable for treating. The more lasting woods (black locust, red cedar, mulberry, chestnut, black walnut, osage orange) do not justify the ex pense of treating for the slightly m creased lasting qualities. Woods differ in checking or split ting when in ordinary use as fence posts. This is important; since such openings allow the ontrance of wood rotting fungi to the inner portions of the untreated wood. For example, black gum, due to its Interlocked, twisted fiber, has proved an excetnl Ingly satisfactory wood for treatment. The bay of the southern swamps "chocks" badly, giving poor results even in the first 5 to R years follow ing treatment. Method of TreatinQ. Posts 3 to 4 inches in diameter are sufficiently'^ strong for line post*. Small posts require less creosote, and last practically as long as large ones. Round posts are better for treatinr than split posts. It is very important to have the wood thoroughly seasoned. The posts should be cut, completely peeled, and open piled in a dry situation well ex posed to sun and wind. Peeling is most easily done in the spring sea son, always Immediately after the tree is felled, before cutting it up into post lengths. Patches of tho thin inner bark, if left, retard or prevent locally the desired impregnation of the wood with the preservative liquid. A spade forms one of the beet tools for peel ing. Tn late fall and early winter, especially in dry situations, it may be necessary to use an ordinary draw knife. Tops of the posts should be beveled to shed rain water. Posts should be cut to allow only about a inches above the top wire. Posts with long topa are unsightly and more costly in wo^l used and treatment. A light crosscut h?w avoids waste in chop ping, and makes Hinoother ends, A ?at isfactory treating equipment for farm use consists of one cylindri cal galvanized steel tank 3 feet in diameter by 4 feet high, and one hori zontal . rectangular steel tank 3 by 8 feet. The treatment consists of soak ing the butts in hot creosote (about 200 to 215 degrees P.) for one to two hoiys. depending upon the density of the wood and time required to get a deep penetration of the creosote, and (hen immersing the whole post in a "cold" bath, at a temperature of 90 (to 1 in degrees F. J The butts should be treated for a ' height of one foot above the ground ' line. Th?- tops thus get only a shal j low treatment but sufficient to j m;tk?- them last as long as the butts. Cost of Treatment. ? A Ration of 4;r?'<>tiote will treat 3 posts. 3 to 4 inches across the top, or 2 posts 4 to 5 inches. In ordinary timDK a high grade of creosote can be purchased for 15 to 20 cents per gallon in barrel lots delivered. War i time made it cost from 30 to 35 cents. ' Depending upon the size of the poat ami price of creo^rote, this is a cost for creosote of from 5 to 15 cents per poat, or average of 10 cents. Other items of cost for (he peeled post should not be over 5 cents apiece, and for overhead charge on equip* ment about 2 cents, or if labor fo* treating the post is included aboat 3 i cents, bringing the total co^t to an ! average of about 20 cents. This would fall to about 15 cent# under or dinary pre war prices for material and labor Tr*ie Cos*. Hut the true cost of feme posts on tho farm should -be reckoned in terms of cost of the post pins cost of labor in replacement. If treated posts art good for 15 years, at least two sets of ordinary untreated posts and tws renewal., operations are eliminated. Three complete settings of untreated po? t b would certainly be very conaid er ablv more expensive than one oper ation with treated posts The treating of fence posts Jointly by sevcrn] farmers in a community af fords one of the best forma at operative work psaaifcle f^LOTHING economy is not a matter of M buying cheap clothes, bjit rather of getting f^l value in wear for every cent invested. The average buyer of clothes takes the word of the salesman for the wear of the material. Ho trusts the mirror or an obliging friend to tell him "how it looks"6 A better way to b$ certain of both looks and wear is to look for the label: MADE by STtOUU 4c BROTHERS, Inc., BALTIMORE, lift.
