secured. Creosotes containing high
temperature are not suitable for
use on the farm as those which con-
tain a lower percentage of these oils,
because a considerable portion may
evaporate and be lost during treat
ment In some cases as much as one
fifth Of the oil used has been lost In
this way. This loss of oil by evapora-
ton may be largely Offset, however, by
the lower price at which the low-boil-
ing creosotes may usually be obtained.
Tar is not good preservative for
farm use; and, in general, good results
have not been obtained with 1t when
applied by methods that are practic-
able on the farm. Its chief defect is
that 1t does not penetrate the wood
readily. Coal-tar and water-gas tar
are also much less poisonous to the
organisms which cause decay than Is
coal-tar creosote.
Crude oil Is not sufficiently poison
GUS for a wood preservative. II the
wood can be thoroughly saturated
with 1t, water may be kept out and
decay prevented; but 1t Is very diff
cult, II not impossible, to get enough
oil into most woods by processes
which are practicable on the farm.
For treating by the brush method
crude oil is entirely unsatisfactory.
Good results cannot, in general, be
expected from paint, linseed oil. or

ME amount Of wood used on the

THE amount Of wood used on the
farms Of the country and exposed
to decay IL very great. The total
II difficult to estimate, but It un-
doubtedly amounts to several billion
feet. This wood Is used in various
forms, such as fence posts, building
foundations, windmill frames, shingles,
Telephone poles, silos, etc. For such
uses durability II usually the chief re-
Quisite.
Some woods resist decay more than
others. A post Of one kind Of wood
may last ten years or more. while one
Of another kind may last only two
years under the same conditions.
There 10 also a great difference In the
durability Of wood Of the same species
under different conditions. In a very
wet or a very dry situation post will
last longer than In a situation where
the ground is simply damp. 1t will
last better In a compact clayey soil
than In a loose sandy soil. A warm.
moist climate is more favorable to de-
cay than a dry one, or one that has
long. cold winters.
Naturally durable woods are con-
tinually growing scarcer and higher
priced In most localities, and less dur
able woods must be used in their
stead. Many of these woods In their
natural condition will last only two or
three years In situations favorable to
decay. It will readily be seen, there
fore, that any reasonably cheap meth
cd of increasing their life will effect
a material saving to the user.
For a number of years the forest
service has been conducting expert
ments on the preservative treatment
of fence posts, poles, and other forms
of timber exposed to decay. These
experiments have been made In CO.
operation with agricultural experiment
stations, farmers, and various com
panies. and also upon the national for
ests. They have proved conclusively
that when suitable preservative
treatment Is given the resistance of
wood to decay can be very much in
creased.
Decay Is not due to the chemical ac-
tion of the soil or to the fermentation
of the sap, but is the result of the
action Of certain low forms of plant
life called fungi. These consist, for
the most part, Of very fine threadlike
flaments, collectively called mycelium,
which penetrate the wood in all d.
recttOns. Certain substances in the
wood constitute the food Of the fungi.
AS these substances are dissolved the
structure Is broken down, until the
wood reaches the condition commonly
known as rotten.
The mycelium usually grows out to
the surface to form compact masses
called fruiting bodies. Since there are
many kinds of fungi, there are many
kinds of fruiting bodies. The various
forms of "toadstools," 'punks." "brack-
ets." or dog ears which are SO fire.
Quently found growing on trees and
dead wood, are examples Of these.

might prevent decay by keeping out
the water; but this would be difficult
to accomplish as well as being too
expensive.
Posts have sometimes been dipped
In thin cement and allowed to dry,
leaving coat of cement over the sur
face OF the wood. Such a coating will
not keep out water and Is easily
cracked or broken of. Good results
cannot be expected from this treat
ment.
Only sound wood is At for treat
ment. If decay has made a start, 1t
Is not always entirely stopped by the
treatment. but may continue beneath
the treated wood until the Interior Of
the post is destroyed. The first thing
to consider, then, Is the selection and
preparation Of the timber.
All timber should be peeled and
thoroughly seasoned before the pre-
servative is applied. In peeling posts

soned. Woods like pines, frs, ETC.. are
usually not affected SO seriously as the
oaks by rapid seasoning.
The posts should be open piled. so
that the air will circulate freely
around each one. The bottom of the
pile should be raised inches or a
foot from the ground. II the ground
is dry, the posts can be seasoned
where they are cut by laying them
upon rocks or brush, or keeping them
off the ground In any other way. Posts
should never be piled In close piles or
allowed to lie on the ground for under
such conditions they will frequently
start to decay before they are sea-
soned.

the use Of stones In this way has
seemed to favor decay rather than re-
tard 1t. because the post Is allowed to
dry out partially between wet spells.
1t would be better to keep it con-
stantly wet.
In dry, sandy regions posts are
sometimes very badly cut by drifting
sand being blown against the wood.
This effect Is sometimes called burn
ing" Piling stones around such posts
would, no doubt, be effective in pre-
venting the sand-cutting. 1t is doubt
full. however, II results obtained by the
use Of stones for the sole purpose OF
preventing decay will justify the labor
involved.
Setting posts in concrete may have
beneficial effect In some cases. II
moisture should reach the post, how
ever, 1t may be held there by the
concrete and cause decay to proceed
more rapidly. This Is an expensive
method Of setting posts and cannot
be depended upon to prevent decay.
ProIonolns the Life Of Posts by Means
Of Preservatives.
There are five chief requirements
for a preservative for general use. 1t
should be reasonably cheap. should
penetrate wood readily. should not be
corrosive to metal, should not evapo-
rate or wash out of the wood easily,
and should be poisonous to fungi.
For special purposes there are, OF
course. additional requirements.
Coal-tar creosote, which Is a brown
ish-black heavy oil, practically insol-
uble In water, is In general use for
preserving fence posts and other farm
timbers. Satisfactory penetrations of
many species Of wood can be secured
with 1t and excellent results have
ben obtained by its use. 1t Is con-
sidered one of the most efficient pre-
servatives against decay SO far de.
veloped for farm timbers exposed to
the weather. 1t may also be used for
inside work wherever its color, odOr
and other properties are not objec.
tionable.
Coal-tar creosotes vary considerably
In quality; but satisfactory results may
be obtained from any good grade. pro

ground. They do not penetrate the
wood deeply. and the only way they
can prevent decay Is by preventing the
entrance Of fungi or moisture into the
wood. Furthermore, the wood is sell
dom painted on all sides; SO it Is
usually possible for fungus to enter
through an unpainted part. When
ever the painted film cracks or peels

Rye will thrive on acid or poor soils
where wheat will not grow well and
may be planted on any soil later than
wheat. It makes one Of the earliest
spring pastures and Is excellent as a
green manure.
These characteristics make rye an
important factor in farm economy,
even in sections where It's yield Of
grain Is not as profitable as that Of
wheat.

woods, care should be taken to re-
move the thin inner bark from the
part of the post that is to be treated.
Even small patches Of this bark often
prevent penetration by the preserva-
tive.
In order to obtain the best absorp-
the posts must be seasoned. The
water and sap must come out Of the
wood to make room for the preserva-
tive to go In. Furthermore, wood
treated green is likely to check open
after treatment, exposing untreated
wood. Seasoned wood which has been
wet by recent rains is not in good
condition to treat.
The best place for rapid seasoning
Is an exposed location on high ground.
On damp or low ground or near a
stream seasoning will take place much
more slowly, and the wood will never
get quite SO dry. If properly piled in
a good location, posts will usually sea-
son sufficiently for treatment In from
go to 30 days Of good seasoning
weather. In exceptional cases they
have been known to season In a
month.
| 1t is sometimes difficult to determine
from Its appearance whether timber Is
sufficiently seasoned or not BY weigh
ing few representative posts at regu-
lar intervals 1t Is possible to determine
the degree Of seasoning very closely.
When an ordinary sized post properly
piled for seasoning does not lose more
than a pound or two in weight during
week Of good seasoning weather it
may be considered dry enough to treat.
Some woods, such as oak and chest
nut, check very badly when dried too
rapidly. 1t is well, If possible, to cut
and peel such timber In the fall or
winter, so that by the time warm
weather comes 1t will be partially sea-

line. Above the ground line moisture
conditions are usually unfavorable,
and below the ground line the air sup
ply is less favorable for the develop
ment Of decay. In loose or sandy soils,
however, which under good drainage
contain more air than compact soils,
decay may extend to the bottom of the
post.
Notwithstanding fungi cannot grow
at very high or very low temperatures /;
but there are few, II any, climates in
which the temperature during at least
part of the year is not favorable to
their growth.
The wood itself supplies the fourth
requirement of the fungi, which Is
food, In order to prevent decay, 1t Is
necessary to deprive the fungus Of one
or more of these four requirements.
1t Is out Of the question In ordinary
situations to deprive 1t Of air and
warmth and though moisture can
sometimes be eliminated to a certain
extent, this cannot be done when the
wood is exposed to the weather. In
general, therefore, the most effective
method of preventing decay Is to pois-
on the food supply. and upon this
principle is based the use of most sue
cessful wood preservatives.
ProIoneinp the Life Of Posts Without
the Use Of Preservatives.
Posts which are to be set without
preservative treatment should always
be peeled. The presence Of loose bark
allows moisture to collect, and thus
makes conditions favorable for decay.
It also harbors wood-boring insects,
which, by boring tunnels, may both
seriously weaken the post and make
conditions more favorable for rapid
decay by affording easy access to
fungi.
The general impression has been
that seasoning wood makes 1t more
durable. In a number of experiments
made by the forest service on poles
and ties, however. green wood has
been found as durable as seasoned
wood 1t is questionable, therefore, II
1t pays to season posts simply to In
crease their durability. II the posts
are to be used in moist locations, the
seasoned wood can quickly take up
moisture and in a comparatively short
time reach the condition Of green
wood. In any case. the seasoned
posts will in time reach approximately
the same condition as unseasoned
posts under the same conditions.
In order to be Of any value season
ing must be properly done, and the
posts must not be held SO long that
decay begins before they are set.
Posts should never be left close-piled
for any length Of time.
In some cases charring has ap-
peared to give good results; in others
however, It has failed to give any
appreciable protection, and it cannot
be relied upon.
Piling stones around the base Of the
post has sometimes been resorted to.
This tends to keep back the weeds and
allow the air to circulate freely
around the post. In some climates.
