ECONOMY IN THE USE OF FENCE POSTS
CAREFUL SELECTION OF THE WOOD PREsERvATIvE
TREATMENT SAVES AND MONEY.

It has been estimated oy the U. S..
Department Of Agriculture that the
farmers OF the single State Of Iowa
use every year $1,4o0,o00 worth Of new
fence posts. which cost the equivalent
Of 100000 for setting them in the
ground. Without doubt part OF this
expenditure might be saved.
The opportunity for economy is
found, first. in using the kinds Of posts
which. taking into account both cost
and durability, are cheapest in the
long run, and, secondly. by treating
the posts to prevent decay. When a
farmer sets post which will have q
comparatively short life. he loses not
only through having to buy a new post.
but also because of the additional Ia
Dor involved in setting 1t. It is true
that in both cases no money outlay
may be involved, for he may set the
posts himself, after getting them from
his own woodlot. OF the posts used
last year In Iowa. seventy per cent, it
is estimated. were grown on the farms
where they were used. or were OBJ
tanned from other farmers or woodlot
owners. and only thirty per cent were
bought from lumber dealers. Never
theless. the farmer is out his labor

he does not pay out any cash.
The average life of .ence post is
stated to be fourteen years. and the
average cost 1877 cents. There H.
however, great difference in the last
ing properties of different woods Os-
age orange lasts mere than five times
as long as willow. and for length Of
service It heads the list OF post tim
bers in the State. The comparative
life OF other posts is 5hown in the
following list. ranging from the long,
est period to the shortest: Red cedar,
locust, white oak. northern white
cedar Cor arborvitae), catalpa. black
walnut. buternut. red oak, and willow.
The average cost Of posts varies
for dif.eren. woods. ai:1 FOR the same
woods in different localities. Red cedar
is most expensive. at an average OF
26 "a cents each. and willow the
cheapest. at 6 cents.
Taking into consideration the time a
post will last. and the cost OF buying
1t and setting 1t in the ground. the
conclusion must be drawn that the
osage orange post Is the most econom-
ical i'll Iowa. followed by white oak,

Comparatively few posts of some OF
these woods are used. Catalpa and

forty per cent. From Witt oak. the
highest, the numbers used range down
in the following order: White cedar.
Usage orange, red cedar. willow, black

A few posts are cut from other woods.
Preservative treatment increases the
life of all wooden posts and more than
doubles the period of usefulness Of
those which are mostly sapwood. The
two million dollars spent yearly by
Iowa farmers / buying and sesti-g
iSlce posts might be materially les
sened by putting into practice the
v'eIl-known methods of wood preser-
walton. It costs much less to treat
post than {, buy new one and set 1t
in the ground, and in addition much
wood could be saved for other pur-
poses. The Department Of As:fcul-
ture has made a special study of prac-
teal methods Of preserving farm tim

EGG PRESERVATION
BY n. II. West.

The primary principle to be OBJ
served in tho preservation Of eggs Is
the protection OF the interior fro :
contact with the cir. The most ef-
fective way Of doing this Is to i'm
merse them In a water solution OF
sodium silicate. usually known as
| "water-glass." Sodium silicate can be
obtained from any druggist It from IS
to 50 cents per gallon. One gallon
should be sufficient for about so dozen
eggs.
Mix one part Of the sodium silicate
with from ten to twelve parts Of water.
Some water-glass Is SO thick that. with
this. dilution. the eggs will float. In
such q case. add enough more water
= make them settle to the bottc /, OF
tn liquid.
Use only clean water, from which
the air has been removed by boiling.
Be sure that 1t is cold before mixing
1t with the water-glass.
Pack the eggs in Jar o. clean
wooden keg, and Gdd the preservins
solution in sufficient quantity to cover
the eggs. No part OF the shell should
be exposed to the air.
The packed eggs should be kept
cool. A cellar Is the best place fe
storing them. Pack only strictly fresh
eggs. Stale eggs will not keep for
ary length Of time under any con-
di.ions and they may affect the fresh
ergs which are packed with them.
Do not wash eggs before packing
them. Washing removes from the
shell the mucilagenous coating which
neture provides for their temporary
preservation.
riggs preserved f. this way retain
their original fresh savor perfectly,
they are not discolored, the yolk re-
tains its formal consistency for sew
eral months.
Other methods of preservation.
though less satisfactory in their re-
suits. will keep eggs for from three
to four months in sr,ch condition that
they may be used for cooking pur-
poses. A preserving mixture which
has given fair results is made up Of
3 IL pounds Of fresh lime mixed with
454 pounds Of salt, and the whole
dissolved in eight gallons Of water.
Eggs may also be preserved fairly
we'll for a few months by packing dry
in mixture Of equal parts salt and
sawfust.

FOOD VALUE or MILK
BY Carolin, u. Hunt.

IT Is commonplace saying that
Wi'k or, to be more specific, cows
milk. is perfect food This may be
taken to mean that it contains. first,
materials which children need for
growth; second, materials which
young and old alike need for the re-
pair Of their bodily machinery; and,
third. materials which both need for
fuel, !. e.. to provide them with. heat
and with the energy necessary for
work 1t should not be understood.
however, to mean that 1t has these
ingredients in such proportions that 1t
can serve satisfactorily as an exclusive
food for a grown person or even for q
child. Though 1t is the best substi-
+tute for mothers milk. 1t must be
modified" more or less before it can
be used even for infant feeding with
good results.
It is likewise commonplace saying
that milk is cheap as we'll az a nu-
tritious food. Just at present, with
prices of all kinds OF foods rapidly
c. angling, It is not so easy as II once
was to make the comparisons that
ar necessary to show which particu-
lar foods are really cheap. but while
the prices of food materials vary. the
composition Of most Of them remains
unchanged. and 1t is always possible
to compare their nutritive values. A
quart of milk SUPPLIES practically an
much of both protein and energy az
three-qudrters Of n pound of beef Of
average composition or eight average
eggs, and can generally be bought for
less money. In case milk is cents
quart, beef 20 cents a pound. and
eggs, ~ cents dozen. 10 cents spent
for milk will buy little more protein
and much more energy than 10 cents
spent for beef or 10 cents spent for
eggs. Thus while other animal foods
than milk (meat. eggs and cheese) are
desirable to give variety to the diet It
may be assumed that milk may be
used as an economical substitute for
any one Of them.
or the vegetable foods. many flour
for example) are found to be much
cheaper than milk, when both price
an nutritive value are taken into con-
sideration. and. as matter Of fact.
they always form the greater part Of
the bulk OF human food: but Of the
a; imal foods which are usually COM.
bined with the vegetable foods milk IL
ono Of the cheapest
In spite Of the fact that milk is rec
ognized as q nutritious and cheap
food. there seems to be general
tendency to think o. 1. not as a pos
sible substitute for other moro expen-
sive foods. but rather as an addition
to the bill OF fare To illustrate. milk
is frequently used as beverage with
gu the reduction Of the amount Of
meat or other proteid foods served.
From the point Of view Of tie need Of
t. body. this may be considered ex-
travagant and the serving Of a glass
OF milk or OF bowlful Of soup or
Of such desserts as custards and baked
milk. or the use Of generous quantities
of milk or white sauce on vegetables.
offers an opportunity to cut down the
allowance Of meats and eggs.

SHALLOW BREAKING

Where sod is turned less than four
inches, the breaking may be called
shallow. The simplest form of shall
low breaking is what is called "sodding
In of a crop" In this case the sod is
II fiat. The seed is dropped In every
third or fourth furrow. and covered
by the next slice OF sod. Sometimes a
roller is run over the ground to
smooth and pack the sod. The crop is
not usually cultivated. This method
produces fair crops when there is suf-
ficient in amount and we'll distributed.
but one should not be disappointed at
tho failure of crop under this meth
cd. Practically it is way Of getting
rid of the sod and at the same time
taking chances on getting some yield
from the land. The common method
is to turn the sod three or four inches
deep and then to drag it lightly with
a spike-toothed harrow. the teeth Of
which are slanted back.
Where the SOD Is thin. the shallow
breaking is often worked up. thor.
oushly with the disc and spike-toothed
and very good seed bed
made.
Any shallow breaking Of sod lind.
except In the case Of sandy land.
should be regarded as 6 makeshift, for
1t does not permit of the best storage
Of moisture The crop is placed en-
tireIy at the mercy OF the season. It
should only be done where circum-
stances make 1t impossible to apply the
better Methods. D. Tinsley.
