can obtain his posts at q much small
er expense than would be involved IN
the purchase of wood naturally suited
for the purpose.
The process of treating wood with
Creosote is a simple one, and can be
done easily on the farm. The expense
of the necessary equipment depends,
to some extent, on the number of posts
to be treated. 1t has been estimated
that a dOuble-tank equipment should
not cost more than $50 and a single
tank, capable of treating two lots of
posts each day, should cost much less.
The posts that are to be treated
with creosote should be thoroughly
seasoned and stripped of their bark,
both outer or inner. in order that the
preventative may penetrate the wood.
After having been cut and peeled they
should be stored in piles through
which the air may circulate readily.
The first step in the treatment is to
place the posts in a tank of creosote
which has been heated to a tempera-
ture of about 22O degrees F. Here
they remain until the creosote has
penetrated through the sapwood. the

Usage orange, locust, red cedar, null
berry and bur oak are the only kinds
of timber that when used for fence
posts last on an average more than
fifteen years. 1t is becoming increas-
ingly difficult in the north central
states to secure any of these at the
prices which prevailed in the past, and
the steady decrease in the supply and
increase in the cost Of timber Of this
kind is turning the attention of farm
ers to the possibilities of substituting
posts of cheaper woods that have been
treated with preservatives. Expert
ments conducted by the United States
department of agriculture, and vari-
GUS state experiments have shown that
creOsote is the cheapest and most eff
fcient preservative, and that short
lived timbers treated with it will with
stand decay as long as the more dur
able woods. In many localities there
is an abundant supply of cheap timber
which in its natural state is of little
value for fence posts. By treating
this timber with Creosote the farmer

LOCATION FOR A HENHOUSE
Care Should Be Taken to Avoid Damp,
ness and Secure Proper Ventl1-
ton for the Fowls.

The water which fowls drink is not
excreted as in other animals, but is
carried off by the air that the bird
breathes. The air that the hen
breathes in common with other birds
passes to every part of the body and
gathers moisture. If the air is dry
1t gathers the moisture easily and
quickly. If the air is already moist
it takes up very little more moisture.
This means that more air must be
breathed to do the same amount of
work. The result is a painting hen
even though the day be quite cool. A
painting hen is uncomfortable and
is not the one that lays the most
eggs or makes economical gains in
flesh.
The three most common causes of
dampness in the henhouse are: a
poor location. faulty floor construc-
ton and poor ventilation A poor
location is any place that does not
have the best air and water drain
age. Any spot that is low or that
does not have an outlet to ground
that is considerably lower is likely
to have poor drainage. This means
that if the henhouse is located
in such a place the damp air is like
ly to settle in and about it and the
| frost will linger there late in the
spring and make it's appearance in
the early fall. Such a location short
ems the laying season. A fairly high
spot on a south slope is just about
right, for aside from being brighter
drier than any other exposure.

BIG YIELD FROM PURE SEED
Quite Evident That Seed Growing Is
Fairly RemuneratiVe Business
interesting Figures.

Whether we use registered seed.
good grade seed or poor seed the cost
of production is the same, but the re-
turns are different. Why not. then,
use the seed which will give US the
greatest profits?
II proper cultural methods are prac-
ticed and good registered seed sown,
there should be no difficulty in secur-
ing yields of sixty-flve bushels OF oats
per acre. and in some cases a much
higher yield may be secured under
favorable conditions. This grain
should give at least sixty per cent
marketable seed depending of course
on the season. The price received for
the best seed varies somewhat depend
ing upon supply and demand, perhaps
90 cents per bushel would be a fair
average price. Some growers. how
ever, receive S1.25 per bushel for small
lots Of choice seed oats. At these fig
ures. then. we would have SO bushels
of seed oats, and 90 bushels Of feeding
oats in addition to the straw from one
acre. Or TO state the case more con-
cretely the feeding oats and the straw
would almost pay the total cost of pro-
duction, including interest on the valu-
alton of the land. The 50 bushels of
seed should give a return OF $50 TO
$40. II the total yield of S. bushels
was sold for feeding purposes it would
realize not more than S26. With poor
seed there would not have been IS
bushels to sell. Thus it is quite evil
dent that seed growing is a fairly re-
munerative business.

INDIsCREET YOUNG GIRLS.

Alas, how easily things go wrong.
A sigh too much or a kiss too long!
Then comes to the heart a ling ring pain
And life is never the same again.
1t is the nature of youth to be gay,
just as it is for young lambkins to
frolic and young birdlings to sing their
threats out in the sunshine, all heed
less of a stormy tomorrow; for the
clouds are lowering. Youth is not wise
enough to count the cause of an in
discreet thought, word or act.
1t is one Of two things which lures
many a girl to her undoing-mischie-
vcus girl friends who put the wrong
notions in her head, or being brought
in contact with class of young men
who have not the right respect for in
nocent young girls. The life of de-
serving young working girls is fraught
with more danger. perhaps, than that
of any other class. One bold girl
friend can corrupt the morals of many
with whom she is brought in contact.
She boasts to the confding little girl
who works at the same counter with
her that she met such nice young
man the evening before, who took her
to supper, then to the movies and to
dance later.
The innocent one listens. IF l could
only be introduced to some nice young
man." she says, with sigh. Intro
duced!" the older girl laughs iron
ically. 1--WE firted! 1t was a case of
admiration with both of US at first
sight" The younger girls follows the
older ones example. She is led into
a street Irritation which her employer,
walking behind her, sees with much
amazement and annoyance. It would
hurt the reputation of his business to
employ girl who had so little respect
for herself as to pick up an acquaint-
arce on the street. She is called to
the Office the next day and is severely
reprimanded. 1t would have meant
her discharge had not her employer
believed she had simply been indis-
Greet. This being her first offense, he
was willing to give her a chance to
redeem herself. He explained to her
in all kindness, from a mans point of
view, that she was on the wrong
track; that men had no respect what
ever for one whom they became &C
quainted with on the street. Their
intentions were seldom or never hon.

Worlds Debt to France.

While it is impossible to overesti-
mate the debt that the world owes to
France for the suffering and sorrow
she has borne in behalf of the cause
of human liberty, her other contri-
buttons to civilization have not been
less notable. The world, indeed, owes
much to it's literary tenets and tend
encies of the twentieth century to
France. The roll of French writer's
is long one, and their contributions
to literature are very rich. Moreover,
it was her Pasteur who established
the germ theory of disease, and
through whom the wonderful miracles
of saving human life that have char
acterized the past third Of century
have been wrought.

if the reputation Of the girl with whom
they were seen talking was ruined
thereby. He pointed out that the man
did not carry a guaranty placard
pinned on his coat denoting whether
he was married or single, and that the

tentions might be playing with ser
pent that would soon wind his coils
about her. causing her, while yet in
her youth, to join the army of Mag
dalens on the fatal road from which
few ever are saved.
The girl who has committed no folly.
and as yet has been only indiscreet,
should turn over a new leaf quickly.
She should keep away from older girls
who would misguide her and from men
who are not of the marrying kind.

The hot creosote causes the air in
the wood to expand and forces out
part of it. In the cold creosote the
internal air contracts again. The par
tial vacuum which is thus caused
draws the preseryative into the wood
cells. The same effect may be pro-
duced by leaving the posts in the first
creosote bath until the liquid has
cooled. This, however, requires much
more time, and if this method is en-
plOyed, only two patches of posts can
be treated in a day. Where there are
two tanks, one for the hot and one for
the cold cresote, the process may be
carried on continuously.
The tank used should be large
enough in diameter to hold the num-
Der of posts that it is intended to
treat at one time. The liquid in the
tank should stand about six inches
above the portion of the post that will
be underground when set in position.
The tank may be built over a fireplace
with the fire directly under it, or
steam coils placed within the tank
where they will not be in the way Of
the posts.
1t does not pay to treat naturally
durable wood with creosote because
the fibers al3 so hard to penetrate that
the operation is an expensive one.
Moreover, after treatment, wood of
this kind is no more valuable than
cheaper timber. Experiments have
shown that beech, birch, gums, soft
maple, poplar, sycamore, willow and
pin oak respond very readily to treat
ment With these the cost is approx
mately ten cents per post. Creosote
may usually be obtained from hard
ware dealers.

She was giddy then. She is far gid

with her companions, causes the peo-
pie to turn round ard stare at her.
She was slender then; she is plump

are run off at the heel. The small
hat on her immense head makes her
look grotesque. In days gone by he
had had great admiration for her red
cheeks Now it does not need spec
tacles for anyone to see that they
are of the bought variety instead of
natures own.
He could have laughed aloud at the
foolishness of wives who are jealous
of old sweethearts. They haven't the
least bit of cause, he Eliminates. Their
kisses and handclasps are forgotten
like last years snow or a birdnote

a while a man may become enamored
of a girl he has loved in bygone days.
But such instances are few and far
between. When the love chain is
snapped asunder, that's the end Of
that romance. Rather than try to
mend it, most men would rather inter-
est a new heart. Men always love
the last sweetheart the best and most
