You cannot be over.careful 10 the selec-

THE FAITHFUL ROCKER

The other day | went into an unfre-

L looked the contents over and tho u,ht
- brought to my gaze
The form OF grandma's rocker. tha chair

took It to my sitting room and gave IL
some repair
And brushed away the cobwebs that
had collected there.
took away its cushion, twas faded
worn and gray,
Then decked It off so nicely with the
"tidies" Of today.
10 this my grandma used to rock her
bsbies, one by one.
ny mother was among them, the last
one now IL gone.
In this my mother sang this song. which
closed my weary eyes,
" hen can read my title clear to mar
sions in the skies
Her voice, so sweet and low. IL lulled nv
weary form to rest,
And not wave Of trouble rolled across
my peaceful breast"

now II quite man.
And yet IL sits with arms outstreiched d

Preserving Fence Posts from
Decay.


Every farmer is familiar with the rot
ting of his fence posts at the surface of
ground. The labor of replacing them and
how to secure new and durable posts are
sources of constant annoyance and ex-
pense. Even the more durable woods,
such as chestnut, white oak and cedar,
decay in eight or ten years. 1t is true
that there are few kinds of wood in the
United States, such as locust and Usage
orange, which gives much longer service
but their supply. never very large, is
rapidly becoming exhausted, and the
farmer must now look to other sources for
his posts. Perhaps directly on his farm
there may be a patch of woods which
includes such trees as black oak, beech
maple or pine. and cottonwoods and will
lows may grow along the banks of his
streams These are trees which hereto.
fore have been thought of little or no use
for posts, because of the rapidity with
their natural condition, they will rot in
two or three years-too soon to pay for
the labor of setting them. The Forest
Service in its study of prolonging the life
Of fence posts has found cheap and sim
pie methods of preserving them in a
sound condition for indefinite time, even
though they are the poorest natural dur
able woods
Decay is not simple process like the
crumbling of stone or the rusting of iron.
1t is caused by low forms of plant life
which thoroughly permeate the wood,
| discolor it and cause it to become discon-
nected and "rotten." To preserve the
timber in a thoroughly sound condition,
it is only necessary to render the wood
unfit for the growth of these organisms.
This is done by injecting into it sub
stances poisonous to plant life.
One of the most widely used preserva-
tives is creosote, one of the by-products
of coal tar. When it is injected into the
wood, decay will be retarded indefinitely
and an old-field pine or a cottonwood
fence post properly treated will easily
give a life of twenty years or longer
Such a preventative treatment costs
about ten cents per post. The cresote
can be applied by painting the wood
with brush or dipping it into the liqui6
but much better results will be obtained
if it is actually injected into the wooc
instead of merely coating the outside. Il
the brush" method, or painting, is used
the creosote should be applied at tenn
perature of about 1870 degrees F. Two
coats should be given at least twenty
four hours apart. If the posts are dipped
directly into the preventative, the creo
sote should be heated to about the same
temperature. The best results of all cal
be obtained by first heating the posts in
bath of hot creosote and then eithe
transferring them quickly to a bath o
creosote at a lower temperature, or els
: shutting off the heat and allowing tn,
posts to remain in the oil as it cools. B.
, such a method, the sapwood will become
/, thoroughly permeated with the creosote
Full details and specific directions for tn
treatment of different kinds of posts ma.
