North Dakota Agricultural Sollege.)
The securing CT !cEce posts Is quite
problem for North Dakota. A great
deal Ct fencing will necessarily have
solution of the problem Is the cement
post, which has proved quite success
full. Another solution 10 to grow the
posts. And for This tho common will

1t grows rapidly and produces a maxi
however, not very durable in the
ground. 1t can be made 20, however,
by treating with craosote and the cost
CT the treatment is not prohibitive.
The department of agriculture has
found that the cost Of creosote runs
from five to eight cents a post when
just the butts are treated. Then It,
Of course requires SONS work but oft
en- times this trea mso4 could be Civ.
en- when work would b slack so that
1t really would not cost any outlay for
labor
In treating the posts the first thing
to be done IS to have them peeled, a.
the preservative does not penetrate
through the bark very well. Then
again this Is important a. 1t allows
the post to cure. If there is any mois-
ture in the pores Of the wood the creo-
sote will not 70 in 50 readily and this
moisture 10 also Objectionable.
To secure tho best results the creo-
sote needs to be heated. This makes
it more liquid and also in heating the
posts it forces the Ar out Of the pores
so that on cooling the creosote ID

are taken opt Of Tho heated creosote

(By PROF. W. B. RICHARDS, North
Dakota Agricultural Collsss)
It 10 very essential to take proper
precautions to maintain sanitary con-
ditions shout the piggery and yards.
The piggery should he given a thor

pigs have been turned to pasture and
the walls and floors thoroughly disin'

crn1o carholic acid or any Of the coal

floors are sprinkled at frequent inter-
walls throughout the year, after the
pens receive their daily cleaning, 1t
may be effective in warding OF con-
tagious disease. II . hog should die,
his carcass should be buried or burn.
ed 1T once and the pen thoroughly dis
tnfsoted.
Ventilation.
It 10 very important to provide
means for ventilation in the piggery
to prevent the accumulation Of
dampness on the walls, which causes
rheumatism, bronchitis, and often
pneumonia. Provision for ventilation
is more necessary In a cold climate
like ours than in warmer climates, be-
cause the moisture collects readily on
the walls, due to the cold weather.
Dipping.
Lice are q common menace TO pigs
and cause serious loss to the hog
raiser. They are most injurious to
young pigs. They aps found around
the ears, inside the legs, and about
the TANKS. .s.res..-7.-.,.
These parasites shsah be eradk

fully by dipping the whole herd. tAs

It is constru cted by placing gal

tank is eight feet long and three feet

nd fifteen inches wide at the bottom.
Larger sizes may be procured If de-

to make a tank three to four feet in
diameter and four feet high with an
elbow on 1t as shown in figure. A
fire can be built under this elbow
which sets up circulation and thus
heats the creosote. A similar elbow
could be put onto barrel This, how,
ever. will not prove quite as durable
and as satisfactory. but it will do the
work for while. Posts are alsl
treated with creosote cold, but 81
course this does not allow it to ente;
as deeply as when It Is heated
Another way that Is often employ5d
Is to put the butt end into the tank ol
heated creosote and when it 10 taken
out put the whole post into the cold
creosote. This gives the top Of the
post slight treatment.
Another way that is sometimes used
is to paint the creosote onto the post
This, of course, does not get it on very
thoroughly, but will materially length
en- the life Of tho post. The point is
to form a layer Of this creosote
around the post so that the decaying
bacteria cannot get in. That is an
other reason why 1t Is important that
the post should be thoroughly heated
before being treated as II it Is not il
will check and through these checks
the bacteria will gain entrance to the
inside OF the post.
Willow wood. being porous, absorbs
the creosote very readily. In planting
willows for the purpose Of planting
posts 1t has been found that a good
distance apart to put them is two feet
apart in rows that are eight fee
apart. They should be cultivated o,
mulched as if the grass and weeds are
allowed to grow freely the growth will
be slow and the trees may even die
