built into the sides of brick or stone
work fire place. Such a tank will hold
about 10 or IL posts of ordinary size
at one time. One of the best preser=
vatives is coal tar creosote. The posts
should be seasoned, and the creosote
should be heated to at least the tenn
perature of boiling water with the
posts in it. By leaving the posts in
the creosote while it cools down, a
good degree of penetration should be
secured with most of the quick-grow-
ing soft woods like cottonwood, pop
lar, elm( and the split cedar posts
found on the market. The tempera-
ture of the creosote may be roughly
determined by hanging a small tin
can of water into the tank, and when
the water boils, the proper tempera-
ture has been reached.
The process of treatment may be
FASTENED by keeping the creosote in
the tank hot and removing the posts
after about an hours EMERSON into an
open barrel of cold creoste for an
other hour, while new batch of posts
is being heated in the tank.
