PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT FOR
TIMBER USED ON MODERN FARM
(H the Several Methods Preserving
Dipping in Creosote
Naturally Durable Woods Compel
Of Inferior Product.

The open-tank principle may be
variously applied In the treatment Of
posts. The best way to heat the posts
Is to immense their butts in creosote
maintained at q temperature Of
220 degrees r.
The simplest form of treating plant
consists Of two creosote barrels, placed
about seven feet apart and connected
by three or four-inch pipe. The
heating is accomplished by building
a fire under the pipe. Each barrel
should be set with a shallow box or
provided with some gutter arrange
ment to catch the oil in case of an I'M
expected leak. The barrels should be
shielded from the direct heat of the
fire. In some respects the barrel
tanks are not satisfactory on account
of them leaking. which ia almost sure
to occur after few days use. Never
theless. the barrel outfit will sufice
when only few posts are to be treat
ed and when. in consequence. the
treatments are few and short.
Thorough seasoning should always
precede impregnation. Even air-dry
wood is unfit for treatment after a
heavy rain and when thus saturated
should be permitted to dry for at least
three days.
Bark retards or prevents the pene-
tration of the preservative into the
wood. 1t also uselessly increases the
cost of treatment by itself absorbing
oil. Peeling the posts before treat
ment is, therefore, necessary. Even
the paper inner bark should be care
fully removed.
The tops Of posts should be cut
obliquely to shed rain water A bevel
made with an ak is preferable to one
made with a saw, because 1t is
smoother. Beveling is particularly
important II the tops of the posts are
not to be treated.

The amount of wood used on the
farms of the country and exposed to
rapid decay is enormous. 1t is esti-
mated that one million fence posts and
rails, the equivalent of six billion
board feet. are required each year.
For this class of material durability
is the first requisite. The naturally
durable woods were formerly plenti-
full over large areas, but in many sec
tons they have now become too
scarce and dear to use. There re-
mains. however. an abundance of in
ferior woods which, when preserved
from decay. are entirely satisfactory
substitutes.
Decay consists in the destruction of
the wood tissues by low forms of plant
life. These organisms we term fungi.

This consists of heating the wood for
certain period and then cooling 1t in
the preservative. The principle is
simple: During the heating the high
temperature causes the air and water
contained In the wood cells to expand.
10 that portion Of this air and water
Is forced out. The rest contracts as
he subsequent cooling progresses, and
4 partial vacuum is formed into which
atmospheric pressure forces the cool

tice and should give way as rapidly as
possible to a better method of han
ding them.
Marsh soils have certain drawbacks,
but also some very important advan-
tages as compared with upland soils.
When they occur In considerable areas
they are more easily cleared than cut
over timber land. and being free from
stone, can be brought under cultiva-
ton at much less expense than the
upland soils. even though drainage is
necessary.
The first step In the development OF
any marsh land is to drain it, In the
case Of large areas this will require
the construction of large main bitches,
requiring the use Of a dredge, and CO
operation among the adjoining owners
either by organizing a drainage dis
trict or by having the town or county
officers take charge of the work In
frequently be done by mutual agree
ment between two or three adjoining
owners.
Two kinds of drainage must be pro
vided for: first, surface drainage, and
second, subsurface drainage. 1t is oc-
casionally true that the construction
OF bitches around the edge of marsh
tract in such a way as to carry of
most of the water from the surround
ing higher land without letting it onto
the marsh will reduce the wetness of
the marsh land to such an extent that
crops can be grown without further
ditching. Ordinarily, however, bitches
on the marsh itself are necessary.
