 Preservation of Fence Posts
 and Other Farm Timbers

his own premises, or two or more farmers or timber users may join and lessen the expense for each. The only apparatus required is an open iron tank, large enough to receive fence posts in an up- right position. Shingles, stakes and other small timbers may be treated in the same tank.
 The cost of the treatment, af- ter the apparatus is ready, de- pends upon the size of the tim bers and whether the entire posts or only the butts are treated and the thoroughness of the treat ment. Where freight rates per- init the shipping of the preser- vative at a moderate expense, the total cost of a treated post of old field pine, lodgepole pine, cottonwood or similar timber ought not exceed that of a high grade post in it's natural state and is often less.
 The government considers the investigations in the preservative treatment of timber of such inn portance that the business of one branch of a bureau in the de- partment of agriculture-the of flee of wood preservation" in the forest service is given over en- tirely to the work of experiments in cooperation with railroad companies, mining corporations and individuals in prolonging the life of railroad ties, mine props, bridge timbers, fence posts and transmission poles. Advice and practical assistance is furnished all who request it of the Forest CT. The lengthening of life of timber means the saving of thousands of dollars annually through doing away with the heavy expense of labor and cost of material for renewals.
 A letter addressed to the For ester, Washington, D. C., will bring suggestions as to the pres ervation of fence posts and other timberS.

r1r11IIITTITIYT

Experimental tests made by the government with a number of inferior woods have shown that it is practicable to subject them to preservative treatment by which they will be rendered durable and as lasting as the soundest oak in many cases.
 This is of the highest import ance in connection with the use of fence posts, telegraph and telephone poles, cross ties and constructive timbers of many kinds. It is of special import ance to farmers in many parts ot the country, for with them the fence post problem is serious. Almost every farmer in the east and south knows that the supply of locust, white oak, cedar and other durable woods has become so restricted in the last few years that their cost has become almost prohibitive. In the middle west the supply of good post material always was limited while in many places in the far west 1t IS be- coming more and more expensive to build fences because good tim Der for posts is becoming very scarce. The fence post problem, therefore, appeals to the farmers of the whole country, and they will be benefited by any process by which a poor post may be made to give double or treble service.
 The preservative treatment can be employed more successful ly with certain kinds of wood than with others, but it forum ately so happens that the open grained, quick-growing, quick decaying timbers are the easiest of all woods to treat. Among these are old field or loblolly pine of the south, lodgepole and west ern yellow pine, cottonwood, will low, buckeye, beech, sycamore and others in the west and mid de west.
 Woods which decay most rap Idly in their natural state, with few exceptions, are best adapted for preservative treatment. This is important because it renders cheap and abundant timbers available and makes use of what would otherwise be wasted.
 The process of treating farm timbers is simple and the cost is low. The apparatus may be sci up and operated by a farmer or
