creosoting, including oil and Ia.
Dor, ranges between 8 and 5
cents. Fence posts treated in
this way have been in place fif-
teen to twenty years, and are
still sound, In addition to the
low cost, wooden posts have sew
eral advantages over metal or,
concrete, namely: I
Creosoted posts hold staples
well, greatly facilitating t he
erection or the dismantling Of q
fence. Such fastener is much
easier to repair than those used
on metal or concrete posts.
Creosoted pests are stiff, mes.
Their bending nor breaking. Met
al posts are often bent by large
animal in pasture, and are with
great difficulty Strengthened.
Concrete posts are often snapped
through the carelessness Of
driver in backing a heavy load
into fence.
Creosoted posts are light and
easily handled. many may be
handled at one time on a wagon,
and one is but a small load for a
man. If it becomes necessary to
move a fence the creosoted posts
are easily pulled. which is not
iTl1" of concrete posts.
T h G obvious advantage Of
using creosoted posts rather than
ordinary wood posts which are
not creosoted is that the ordi.
nary post will rot out in a short
ti,ne, necessitating constant re-
pair Of fences and replacing Of
posts. The creosoted post elimi-
mates this trouble to very large
extent.

TREAT WOODEN FENCE
POST WITH CREOSOTE
Makes the Post Last Much Longer
and Insures Better and
Cheaper Fencing.

Many farmers are thinking Sc
riously of substituting posts of
metal or concrete for those of
wood, without first investigating
the merits of the creosoted wood
en- post. This is not good farm
economics, because it has been
demonstrated I b e creosoted
wooden post will give better
service at a lower annual cost.
Metal in time corrodes, concrete
decomposes under the action of
alkali and frost, but wood, prop
erly treated, is, for many years,
unaffected.
Creosote may be obtained from
any of the oil or coke companies
during normal times costing 10
tolls cents per gallon. Often coal
tar may be obtained from the
local gas company at 3 to 5
cents per gallon. The creosote
or tar is heated to a boiling tenn
perature and applied to the posts
With brush. A necessary pre-
requirement is that the posts be
peeled and thoroughly seasoned
only under these conditions can
the treatment be a success. One
gallon of oil will suffice for Is to
20 posts. Usually the cost of

because Of the impossibility of obtaining
good milk at all times and in all places

(which are destroyed by ordinary
cooking) preserved intact.
To good rich milk HORL1CK
added the valuable extract of Matted
Barley and Wheat, containing all the
nutrition of these grains, and reduced
them to powder form, with perma-
nent keeping qualities, and soluble in
water. It was found that by tho
action of the Malt ferments on the
milk, its digestibility was markedly
increased over ordinary milk, so as
to render it easily assinilated by the
weak stomach of the infant, the in
valid, and the aged.
This we'll balanced milk food was
thus perfected, which a third of a
century's experience has amply
proved capable in itself of supporting
infant and adult life.
This new milk food IIORLICK
named Matted Milk; it has proved a
boon to thousands upon thousands,
from infancy to old age, Of every
race and cline, and is to be found in
every city in the civilized world.

DREV1OUS to 1883 it was neces-
r. sary to add milk to all prepared
4 foods for the infant and invalid,
in order to make properly balanced
diet. But it was difficult and often
impossible to obtain good milk in
cities and tropical climates.
The vital problem of how to supply
reliable milk for people of all ages
in any climate that would be avail
able at all times was finally solved
by HORLICK of Racine, Wis.,,
u. S. A., after years of labor end ex-
pertinent.
HORLICK discovered a process OF
reducing fresh milk by careful evapo-
ration in a vacuum to a powder form,
which contained all the valuable con-
stituents of fresh milk, would keep
indefinitely in any climate, and yet
be soluble in hot or cold water.
This was the first time in history
that milk was reduced to a powder
form, soluble in water, retaining it's
natural qualities when dissolved, and
