at the surface of the ground because
there the conditions of air and mois-
ure are most favorable to the growth
OF the fungi. The decay is much
lower in the top of the post because
he wood quickly dries out after 1t has
become wet e, b, .,.s,,
ANY method by which wood can be
kept dry or that will tend to prevent
the entrance of the fungus plant, will
prolong the life of fence posts. Piling
stones ashes or gravel about the base
or setting the post in cement or con-
crete will help to draw away the mois-
ture and will prevent the growth Of
weeds. which keep the air from circu-
lating freely around the post. Thor
oughly seasoned posts will last much
longer than those that are set green.
Good results have been obtained by
charring the ends of the posts over
an open fire. The posts must be thor
oughly seasoned to prevent splitting
or checking, and the charring must
extend at least six inches above the
surface of the ground when the post
is set. Painting the surface of the
posts or coating them with some pre-
sentative substance like tar. petroleum
or creosote will help to keep out the
moisture and will also tend to prevent
the entrance of fungi.
The most effective method of pre-
serving fence posts Is to thoroughly
impregnate the outer layers of the
wood with some preservative sub
stance that will poison the wood and
deprive the fungus plant of its food.
Many substances have been used for
this purpose. but the cheapest and
most effective is creosote, or dead oil
of coal tar, formed as by-product in
the manufacture of coal gas. 1t is not
only poisonous to the fungus plant but,
being an oil, it also tends to exclude
moisture from the wood. Most of the
high priced. patented preservatives
have this substance as their base.
The treatment is best carried out by
tn. so-called open tank" method.
Thoroughly seasoned posts are heated
for several hours in hot. creosote and
then allowed to cool down in cold
creosote. When the posts are heat ed
in the hot creosote the high tempera-
ture causes the air and water in the
wood to expand so that a portion Of
this air and water is forced out. When
the posts are then placed in cold creo-
sote, the air and water left in the
wood contract, forming a partial vacu.
UNI; and the creosote Is forced into
the wood by atmospheric pressure, to

The chief requirement in q wood
for a fence post is durability. For
this reason cedar, white oak and To-
Gust have long been the principal
trees used. These trees are now In
many sections becoming too scarce
and high-priced to be used for this
purpose. Substitutes either In the form
of iron or REINFORCED concrete, or of
the less durable woods will soon have
to take their place. 1t is doubtful
whether iron or REINFORCED concrete
will ever come into common use for
fence posts, because such posts are
too expensive.
Wood does not decay for the same
reason that iron rusts or that rock
weathers; but because of the destruc-
tion of the tissues of the wood by
low forms Of plant life called fungi.
These plant form live inside the wood,
breaking down the wood fibres and
producing what we call decay.
A fence post decays most quickly

Miners as the ''rustling office" was
blown Up at 80 o'clock in the morn
ing with terrific blast of dynamite
that Jared every building in Butte
and rocked res dences on the outskirts
OF the city. The structure was OF
brick and two stories high and one
side IVES completely blown out. A
hole was torn through the top big
enough to admit street car. 80
No one was killed so far as is
known. but the aged night Waterman

The blast almost threw the city into
panic. so heavy was the force of the
explosion. Many persons rushed into
the streets half dressed.
The mining companies have issued
an official warning to all outsiders to
keep away from the mines, the infer

tube. In this case, since the creosote
is very infiammable. it should be
shielded from the open fire. In either
case false bottom should be placed
in the tank for the posts to rest upon.
The posts should be thoroughly sea-
soned before treatment The bark
should be removed, especially. the pa
perry inner bark. About 40 inches of
the lower end of the post should be
treated. This will bring the treated
portion Of the posts six to eight inches
above the surface of the ground when
the posts are set.
A fence post five inches average
diameter is large enough and strong
enough for the line posts and is the
best size for the preservative treat
ment. Round posts are preferable to
split posts because heartwo0d, except
in the case of cottonwood and syca-
more. does not absorb the creosote
readily
Creosote, which at ordinary tenn.
peratures is not liquid, should be
heated to about 22O degrees F. Suf-
ficient creosote should be used to COW
err at least the lower 40 inches of the
posts. After heating for couple of
hours the fire should be Withdrawn
and the posts left in the creosote un-
til they have cooled down. The posts
should then be treated.
The tank can be filled with posts
in the morning and fire built that
will last about two hours before burn
ing out. The posts after being heated
will cool down during the day and by
night can be treated. A new run of
posts can be put in, heated as before
for two hours. and allowed to cool
down over night. In cool weather the
tank will cool down fast enough SO
that 1t will be possible to start new
run at noon. In this way three runs
of Is to 20 posts each can be treated
without much effort each day.
Creosote costs from Is to 20 cents

ton facilities. etc. A gallon Of creo-
sote should treat three or four posts |
Or more. depending on the kind Of |

The advantage OF q preservative
