How long your light summer clothes
last depends not on how much they are
worn, but on how often they are washed.
That is, if they are washed in the old-fash-
toned way.
If they are washed with Fels-Naptha
in cold or lukewarm water, the washing
won't harm them bit.
Boiling hurts any clothes, but it is par
ticularly hard on light stufs, such as sheer
linens, lawns, laces and muslins-rots the
fabric so they will tear easily. And hard
rubbing on the washboard wears them out
and trays them.
You avoid this by washing the
Fels-Naptha way in cold OF lukewarm
water. Boiling and hard-rubbing are I'M
necessary, because FelS-Naptha dissolves the
dirt into tiny particles which are sent flying
by light rubbing and thorough rinSing.
Then, too, the clothes are cleaner,
whittier and sweeter, as we'll as longcr-wear-
ing.
Be sure to follow the easy directions
on the red and green wrapper.

The farmer who raises poultry can

A chick that is continually chilled
seldom amounts to much. because Vi
tally is used up to resist and over

It is not good plan to feed grown

tends to make them dyspeptic.
In estimating the cost OF keeping
poultry It Is best to allow one bushel
Of grain year to each laying hen.
With hens It Is much better to keep
the appetite sharp compelling them
to be active and search for food.

Satisfactory fence posts are each
year more difficult to secure. Substi-
tutes, such as REINFORCED concrete
and iron, are probably too costly to
compete with wooden posts, and the
only solution Of the difficulty lies In
the use Of cheaper woods and in pre-
venting decay by preservative treat
ment
To appreciate the value Of any
preservative treatment, it is necessary
to know what causes decay, and how
a preservatiye treatment tends to pre-
vent 1t. Briefly, decay in timber is
caused by the action Of bacteria and
fungi-low forms Of plants--which re-
quire for their development definite
amounts OF air, water, heat and food
If one or more Of these factors can be
eliminated in whole or in part, bac-
terra and fungi will not develop and
the wood will not readily decay
I It Is well known that wood decays
first where it comes in contact with
the ground. This is because the fungi
find there the conditions most favor
able for their growth Protection Is
therefore most needed at this point.
When wood is fully exposed to the
air, as in the tops Of posts, the moist
ure is rapidly evaporated and decay is
very slow. In the case of some woods,
however, such as cottonwood and
maple, treatment of the top is neces-
sary.
A number of more or less crude
methods have been tried for prolong-
ing the life of fence posts. These
have brought out certain points which
may prove of value II more efficient
treatment can not be undertaken.
II the butt of post is painted with
or plunged into hot solution Of car
bolineum or creosote. very good re-
suits can be obtained The posts
should be thoroughly dry in order to
prevent internal decay and exposure
Of the inner untreated wood by check
ing. Next to impregnation with these
materials, this method is doubtless the
best.
Creosote has been used for preserv-
