Tank for Treating Poets.

the creosote Is forced into the wood
by atmospheric pressure, to take the
place of the air and water that have
been forced out.
This forms a shell OF creosoted
wood from one-eighth of an inch to
two inches in thickness around the
post that effectively excludes moisture
and prevents the entrance Of fungi
The simplest form of treating tank
would consist of an iron tank four
feet high and about three feet In
diameter, set up over brick fireplace
with stove pipe smoke stack. Such
an outfit would cost about $12 or $15.
Often an old iron boiler can be
found that will answer the purpose.
A galvanized tank has usually too thin
a bottom to set up over an open fire.
Such tank, however, can be utilized
and heated by means OF a three-inch
U tube. In this case, since the creo-
sote is very inflammable 1t should be
shielded from the open fire. In either
case false bottom should be placed
In the tank for the posts to rest upon.
Creosote costs from fifteen to twen-
ty cents gallon in fifty gallon bar
rels, the cost varying with the loca-
ton, transportation facilities, etc. A
gallon of creosote should treat three
or four posts or more, depending upon
the kind of wood, some woods absorb
ing the creosote more readily than
others. To a farmer who furnishes
his own labor, the cost should not be
above six or eight cents post
The advantage of a preservativs
treatment lies In the fact that 1t per.
mits the utilization OF material for
fence posts from the woodlot, or of
material that can be purchased at
low price, which ordinarily could not
be used for this purpose. Such posts,
even with the cost of treatment added,
will amount to less than the original
cost Of durable post AS to length
of life, well creosoted post of per
ishable wood will outlast by many
years the most durable fence post.
Posts that ordinarily last but three or
four years in the ground can be made
to last over twenty years by preserv-
inf the wood from decay.

man 50 per day, the teams 81 per day
and the crew and machine 81 per
hour, running time. OF course, this
is not the exact cost for there are
numerous conditions that we cannot
allow for. but taken one year with
another believe that seventy cents a
ton Is fair average for the cost of
quitting the corn and filling the silo,
When 1t is possible we fill one silo
Saturday and allow 1t to settle over
Sunday and fill the other Monday
and then place woven wire fence
around the one that Is filed first and
refill to the top of the fence so that
when the ensilage settles 1t will be
as near full as possible, and after
this we refill the other one in the
same way.
For few days we make q prac-
tice of keeping the edges packed down
and lose but small amount of en-
silage. When 1t is possible for a
man to exchange help the cash cost
OF filling may be greatly reduced, but
my figures are based strictly on a
cash basis, bringing everything done
by outside labor.

We make practice of starting one
corn binder cutting the day before

cutting while the corn is being run
into the silo. We do not like to get
too much corn on the ground before
we begin filling, owing to the danger
of rains and unfavorable weather.
When the corn Is convenient to the
gilo we employ four teams to haul
the corn to the cutter and four extra
men In the field to hand the bundles

at the cutting machine to assist the
feeder and to save the strings that
are used to bind the bundles. This
we do as matter Of precaution more
than to save the strings for there

COWS have been injured by eating the
strings after they have been run into

ILL FROM MOCK LYNcHINe
Prisoner Of Wisconsin Sheriff Con
fesses After Having Rope Put

mock lynching near Salem the other

Wiley Davie, a negro, to confess steal.

full but the negro is now in jail, suffer
ing from nervous prostration.
The gun was taken from Fred A.
Sharp OF Kenosha. He had been hunt
ing, and was asleep in field when the
negro passed. He told hard luck
story, and Sharp gave him a dollar.
Then Sharp went to sleep again. and
the negro returned and stole the
gun.
Sharp awoke, missed the gun and
suspected the negro. Davie was cap
tured. He did not have the gun with
him, however, and protested that he
had not stolen it. The sheriff believed
the negro was lying and decided on
mock lynching scheme as means
of making him confess.
Several farmers surrounded the pris-
oner, and the sheriff told him he had
better confess. Then one OF the farm
ers got a rope. 1t was thrown over
the prisoners neck. and he was being
marched toward tree when he sud
denly halted and called out,
Don't hang me, men; Ill tell where
the gun is"
The rope was taken from his neck,
and he led the sheriff to nearby
swamp, where the gun was found hid
den.

helping it out" was the only comment
of the sheriff, as he tucked the negro
into the automobile and started for
Kenosha.
Davie believes that the mock lynch
ing was bona flde uprising of the
farmers against the black race.

AFTER SEA ELEPHANT HERD
Animals, Said to Be Ten In Number,
Have Reported Value Of
$1,000 Each.

San Diego, Cal.--The power schoon
er Flyer, owned by c. b. Linton, is on
a cruise which has for it's purpose the
capture Of the only herd OF sea ele-
plants known TO be in existence.
There are said to ten sea elephants
In the band. They have value of
about $4,000 each and rendezvous on
an island believed to be about 900
miles south of San Diego.
The expedition was organized, so II
was announced. for the purpose OF ex.
ploring the uninhabited portion of the
coast Of Lower California. the west
coast OF Mexico and the islands along
the coast as far as Cedros island.
Provisions and fuel for four
months trip were taken and in add.
ton the craft carried full equip
ment Of arms, traps and other ma
terial necessary for the capture or
killing Of such specimens of animal
and bird life as may be encountered.
These will be turned over to the Elk
position Park museum of Los Ange-
les, but the one great prize which the
party seeks to get is the $4,000 herd
OF sea elephants.
The existence of the sea elephants
was discovered by party Of govern.
ment scientists aboard the Albatross
early last year. At that time two OF
the sea elephants were killed and five
captured alive.
The government scientists when
here would not give out any informa-
ton as to the island where the re-
naming ten sea elephants of the herd
were left, but It is said on good au.
thority that Captain Linton and his
party had secured this information.
and as result the present expedi.
ton was organized. George H. Child
Is in command of the Flyer. The other
members of the party are George Fl.
