Tank for Treating Posts.

built under it as shown in the cut.
The oil is poured into the tank, the
posts or poles are set vertically in it
and fire started under.
AS soon as the oil becomes thor
oughly warm it penetrates into the
timber for greater or less distance.
The fire should be kept up for sew
eral hours, after which the posts may
be removed and another batch put
in. This treatment is possible only
with absolutely dry wood. The forest
service drops a caution that of the
many numerous products sold and de-
signed to be used by painting on the
wood only very small number are
of any value.
This process has been used sue
cessfully in Europe for several years.
1t consists of immersing the wood in
a solution of corrosive sublimate
(mercuric chlorid) long enough to
permit more or less thorough pene-
tration of the preservative. A water
tight wooden vat is constructed of
planks. No iron must be used, since
it is quickly destroyed by the zorro
sive sublimate.
The wood to be treated should be
seasoned. 1t is piled in the vat and
when almost full, a series of clamps
are put on to hold it firmly in posi-
ton. The sublimate solution is then
put in.
This solution is made by using one
part of sublimate to $50 parts of
water, the salt being first dissolved
in small quantities of hot water and
then diluted to the proper point The
strength of the solution decreases as
it is used and must be renewed by
adding more sublimate from time to
time.
The liquid should cover the wood
at least one inch and the wood should
be left in the vat for from five to ten
days, depending on the size Of the
timber. AS light affects the solution,
the vat must be kept covered. The
cost of treatment is about AZ cents
cubic food of wood, which would be
about 1915 per cord.
AS corrosive sublimate is a deadly
poison, extreme care is needed in
handling the solution, especially by
persons not familiar with it. Where
wood is scarce and high it will, no
doubt, pay to treat not only fence
posts, but posts, poles and stakes for
vineyards, hop yards and wherever
such material is used in farming or
gardening.

The Valuable Mare,

A mare that produces strong,
healthy foal every year is worth
double the money of one equally as
good every other way that produces a
foal only every other year. This is
characteristic of some mares. When
breeder gets one of the latter kind
he will do well to get rid of her at the
first favorable opportunity, unless he
wants her for general use.

Pumps for Street Wear.

The new pumps for street wear are
made with ankle straps, which are an
improvement over the pumps used last
year, for they were scarcely practical
for outdoor wear.
To be quite correct the stockings
worn with pumps Of this description
should be plain and fine, of course.
This rule applies to the street only.
For house wear any of the dainty
styles in embroidered hose may be
donned as suits the taste of the

Poor Care of Eggs.

Nothing We eat goes on the market
in more haphazard fashion than
eggs. Watch the average grocery
man, for instance. He will allow them
to set where odors will be absorbed,
and will keep them until they have
lost all their original freshness. Then
he will slam them into an ordinary
sack, taking no regard Of the color
of the eggs, the dirtiness of the sack
or eggs, and gets them out in the
quickest way possible.

many should serve as warning to
amateur aeronauts everywhere, at the
opening of the season for aerial
flights. The ascension with the Pom

was undertaken when a high wind pre-
vailed, and when professional aero
nauts would have considered it rash
to start. The second fatality revealed
the dangers of descent when strong
winds are blowing.

The smart-looklng suit consisting of
foulard frock in polka-dot or a small

in the same shade as the foulard, is
one of the most economical invest

For she will possess a servictable
suit for eight months of the year, and
if she cares to take the frock for house
wear, from November to March, it viii
be useful for a whole year.

Disease Among Chicks.

Quite frequently disease will ap-
pear among chicks because they have
had access to some carrion, dead rab-
bit or putrid chicken. The mother
hen probably leads them to this
source of disease quite ways from

the poultry keeper.
