Prepare the ground well, as you would

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:
