Saving the Fence Posts
By Method of Preservation the Less
Durable Woods Can Be Used
for Manp Years.


The chief requirement In q wood
for 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 It 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 rusta or that rock
weathers; but because Of the destruc-
ton Of the tissues OF the wood by
low forms Of plant life called fungi.

vents the entrance Of fungi.
For treating q few posts for farm
use the single tank method is advised.
In this case the posts are allowed to
cool down In the tank in which they
were heated.
The simplest form Of treating tank
woula consist Of an iron tank four
feet high and about three feet in diam

stove pipe smoke stack. Such an
outfit will cost about $12 or SIS. Often

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
slower in the top of the post because
the wood quickly dries out after it has
become wet
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 charming 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-
servative 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
the 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 heated
in the hot creosote the high tempera-
ture causes the air and water in the
wood to expand so that portion Of
this air and water is forced out. When
the posts are then placed in cold creos,
sote, the air and water left in the
wood contract, forming partial vacu-
UNI; and the creosote is forced into
the wood by atmospheric pressure. to
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1914-09-17

tube. In this case. since the creosote
is very inflammable. 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 heartwood, 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 220 degrees F. Suf-
ficient creosote should be used to COW
er 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 I'M
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 it will be possible to start q 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
q gallon in 50.gallon barrels, the cost
varying with the location, transporta-
ton facilities, etc. A gallon Of creo-
sote should treat three or four posts
or more. depending on the kind Of
wood. To farmer who furnishes his
own labor the cost should not be more
than or 8 cents q post.
The advantage Of preservative
treatment lies in the fact that it per-
mits the utilization Of material for
fence posts from the woodlot, or Of
material that can be purchased at q
low price:
