WOOD PRESERVATION LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Many farmers are coming to recog-
nize that wooden sllOs, the most COM
mon type of preservers OF succulent
farm feeds, must themselves be pre-
served. Untreated wooden silos, even
when built of such durable material
as heart cypress or redwood, are sub
ject to more or less rotting, especially
near the foundation where moist con-
ditions are favorable for the develop
ment of the fungus Of decay.
That the wooden silo is popular is
shown by the fact that, in 1913 alone,
about 10O000,000 board feet of high
grade lumber was used in silo con-
struction, while later statistics indi-
cate that the consumption of lumber
for this purpose is steadily increasing.
The Importance of some kind OF pre-
servative treatment to prevent decay
in wooden silos, therefore, has be-
come generally recognized. Several
manufacturers of wood-stave silos are
now making use Of preservatives SO
that it is possible to purchase the silo
material already treated.
OF the various preservatives In gen.
eral use, a good grade of coal-tar creo-
sote is very satisfactory for preserv-
ing timber. Almost any thorough
method of treatment with this preserv-
tive ought to add to the life of the
silo. Superficial methods, however,
such as applying with a brush, dip
ping in the preservative, or spraying
are not sufficient. By far the best
method is to have the slaves treated
with the preservative in closed retort
under pressure, and when so treated
they should last indefinitely and
should be more satisfactory to the pur-
chaser.
Those who are considering the pur-
chase of treated silos should ,investi-
gate carefully the methods used, and
If greatest permanence Is desired
should Choose only material that has
received a thorough-pressure treat
ment. Silos built of such material
have the additional advantage Of re-
duction in the swelling and shrinking
of the slaves, and, hence, they can be
kept tight more easily. Another ad-
vantage of silos built of well-treated
wood is that they need not be painted

ative treatment upon the durability of

BEST PLAN TO KEEP
FALL PIGS GROWING
Large Hogs Should Be Marketed
Soon as in Fit Condition
for the Market.

1t Is not good practice to leave small
pigs with the larger ones now. The
small ones will become stunted by be-
ing crowded away from feeding troughs
and much loss will be incurred. If the
larger hogs are fit for market it will
not pay to feed them longer. They
should be sold as soon as fit, but not a
day sooner. There is time when hogs
are at maximum of efficiency regard
ing profit. And it pays to keep the fall
pigs growing. The more growth before
hard winter weather the more profit
able will be the development.
Comfortable quarters will promote
the desired growth and also plenty OF
exercise should be given. Charcoal
ashes, sulphur and salt should be KEEP
In every feeding yard.
The breeder Of hogs should be wide
awake. There are many APPARENT!
small items in the management tina
are liable to be overlooked. See tina
the animals are clean and free from
lice. A lousy hog is hard to fatten ant
is never a money maker.

When Father Time comes along
with a birthday to celebrate, or a
dancing-school party, or other great
occasions in the life of a little girl, 1t
means pretty frock for her. Even
in party dresses there Is difference
of opinion as to whether they should
be simply or elaborately made, but as
the little girl Is sure to look pretty
in either sort, fashion smiles approval
on both.
White, pink, blue, pale green and
light yellow are oftenest selected for
the little girls party frock, with white
a favorite choice. VOile, batiste, or
candle, and taffeta are the materials
used for making them. Some of the
prettiest light volles are made up with
no other decoration than tucks headed
with hemstitchlng, and smacking about
the waist and yoke. This Is done in
heavy white silk. Taffeta Is managed
with about the same simplicity, but

Drinking of Water

The general conclusions Of the latest

tests upon many healthy young men
that the drinking of large amounts Of
water 1oith meals is often beneficial.
Therefore If you want to keep healthy

Unfortunately, the other fellow has the
advantage of milking the cows first,

Good purebred cows are always re-
tanned in the herd as long as they
prove satisfactory breeders. On the
other hand ordinary or inferior pure
bred cows should be disposed of when
they are about eleven or twelve years
kold, for after this time they are not
as regular breeders and it is just pos
sible that calves from old cows are not
as good as those from cows in theiI
prime Of life. In well-managed hero
one can have the cows to average 6
calf at twelve or thirteen months, Il
only good vigorous animals are re
tanned. On the other hand, in mos
herds dairy cows do not average a cal.

PRODUCTIVE PERIOD

Possibly Sixth Calf.

By DIR. R. H. WILLIAMS. Animal Hus-

Cows gradually increase In the
quantity of milk yielded with each lac
tation period until the third or fourth
calf is dropped. After this time about
two or three lactation periods remain
about the same and then they begin to
fall appreclably in the amount of milk.

give a strong odor, but the quantity
of creosote in the feed could not be
determined by analysis. This silage
when fed to cows was not relished and
two of the animals were affected
slightly by it. This was very severe
test, however, for the wood was given
heavier treatment than is now con-
sidered necessary. Moreover, had the
contaminated portion been thoroughly
mixed with the rest of the silage 1t
is considered doubtful whether the eff
feet would have been noticeable. This
conclusion is borne out by the results
obtained in practice. During the sew
eral years in which it has been the
practice to treat wood for silOs, the
dairy division has not heard OF a
single case in which the health OF
the animals has been impaired by
feeding such silage.
