Silage that is not well preserved is -/OOFT WOOD MAKES POSTS -ASTS’ WELL WHEN TREATED WITH A PRESERVATIVE. By John A. Ferguson, Professor of Forestry, College of Agriculture, University of Missouri. With the going of our hardweod forests comes the need of a substitute tor the white oak post. There are several ways the farmer can supply this need. He can use iron or con- crete posts; he can grow catalpa, lo- cust, or hedge for this purpose; or he can treat the soft wood that he has so that it will make good posts. Iron and concrete posts are too expensive to be used generally. The sccond method is one that the farmers are just beginning to adopt, and one of the most satisfactory solutions of the problem. There will always be, how- ever, a shortage in fence posts. Many farmers will never set out woodlots, and while those that are set out are growing, there will be a demand for post timber. Experiments have proven that such woods as cottonwood, maple, willow, and sycamore can be made to last well when they are treated with some preserving material, Instead of rot- ting in three or four years, they can be made to last over twenty. The most effective method of pre- serving these soft woods is to satu- rate them with creosote. This pol-|' sons the rot producing organisms and | edges of the silo, especially when i there is a long cold spell as was the ase last winter, It must be either thrown out of the silo or thawed be- fore feeding. Siloge is one of the cheapest feeds that can be grown. The average cost of filling the silo is less than a dollar a ton. To this must be added the vested in the silo. Even then it is a cheap feed. (AR 06 Oem. | it will cost twelve or fifteen dollars | (see diagram). Often an old iron | soiler can be found that will answer che purpose. Galvanized iron tanks | as ually have too thin bottoms to set | over open fires, A false bottom is | placed in the tanz for the posts to j rest upon. The posts should be thoroughly dry and should have all bark removed. Orly about forty inches of the lower end of the post is treated. This brings the treated portion six to eight inches above the ground. If it is de- sired to treat the tops, they may be merely dipped into the hot creosote. The creosote is usually in a solid form at ordinary temperatures. It is heated in the tank to just about the boiling point, and then the tank is filled with posts. Sufficient creosote is used to cover at least the lower forty inches. _ After heating for an hour or two the fire ts withdrawn and the posts left in the creosote until they have cooled. Two runs of posts can be treated in a day on the farm without interfering with the regular work. The tank is filled with posts in the morning and a fire built that will last about two hours. The posts after heating will cool during the day and by night will be treated. A new run of posts can be put in, heated as before for two hours, and allowed to cool over night, Creosote costs fifteen to tw the cost varying with the location, transportation, etc. A gallon of creo sote will treat three or four posts, depending on the kind of wood. The Gost should not be above six or eight cents a post, labor and all. A well creosoted post of perishable wood will outlast by many years the ame durable untreated post. on OB OS SENET “Thoroughbred” and “purebred” two words often used to expres the game meaning, They are used to des- ignate stock of pure blood or pure breeding. “Thoroughbred” has quite & different meaning from this.
