SAGE TEA DARKENs
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur forge
storing faded, gray hair TO its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair. ss,
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampenn a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

A gasoline drum with one defective
head to be chiseled out can often be
obtained at cost of 50 to So. The
tank for the hot treatment obviously
must be Of steel and in all cases fitted
for heating either with fire. under
meath in an earth pit or by means Of
steam pipes. Except in midsummer.
some heat must belsupplied to the cold
tank. Where dressed lumber is rela-
tiyly cheap, a satisfactory cold vat
| can often be made at less cost by be-
ing built of dressed 2 by pieces laid
on heavy flooring. 1t should be fit
TED for heating Shy means Of. an iron
pipe circuit either extending over
fire on the ground or connected with
steam engine.
Use Good Preservative.
1t is important to use a good pre-
SENTATIVE, and coal tar creosote has
proven by far the most satisfactory
substance. Ordinary gas or coal tar
has been occasionally used, but it is
foo thick, even when heated, to give
a fair degree of penetration and
teaches out more quickly than creo-
sote.
Present prices of coa1-tar cre0sote
range mostly from 25 to So cents a
gallon in barrel lots laid down at the
nearest railroad point. The pre-war
price was about Is 20 20 cents gal
Ion. A gallon of creosOte is sufficient
to treat three posts from 3 to inches
at the top, or two posts from to 5
inches in top diameter, thus making
the cost from 10 to Is cents per pest,
or in ordinary times from 5 to 10
cents. The other items would be the
cost of cutting and peeling the posts
at perhaps cents each, the labor of
treating which can be figured at from
2 to3 cents, and share of the equip
! ment cost, which would likely average
about 2 cents each, using a two-tank
outfit. This makes a total cost Of
from Is to 25 cents each.
joint Ownership Saves.
A saving in cost would be made by
two or more farmers Jointly owning
and using treating equipment. This
method in a number of instances has
proved successful form of eo-opera-
ton among farm owners.
Post timber for treating is very
abundant in the dense 0ld-fleld pine
stands throughout the Southern states,
The small trees which are being
crowded out by the taller dominant
trees are very often of just the right
size for making treated fence posts.
Cutting them for this purpose utilizes
a forest product that would other
wise be wasted and improves the re-
manning stand by giving room TO-
growth needed by the remaining trees.
A wood with an interlocked and twist
ed fiber, such as black gum or sweet
| gum, are of the very best sort for
treating, since they are little subject
to the deep checking apt to occur in
wood after S to 10 years of exposure
in the weather. The seeds" or spores
of wood-decaying fungi find entrance
| through such cracks or checks and be-
| gin feeding on the wood cells.
Thorough treatmen. of weil-seas0ned
posts poisons the food of the fungus,
thus giving many years of useful
service.

ment of Agriculture.)
The fence-post problem is easily
solved on the farm by means of SIM
pie method of treating wood with coal
tar creosote. Sap pine, red oak,
maple, beech, sycamore, black gum,
sweet gum and other abundant or in
ferior woods by this means are made
durable in the ground for 10 to 20
years of service.
n 1t is essential that the timber be
peeled and thoroughly seasoned before
attempting to treat it. Small flakes
of inner bark left on the wood check
or prevent proper absorption at those
places. Peeling is done most easily
during the spring months, but is car
ried on at other seasons of the year.
A spade is about the best common i'm
plement for use when the bark slips
easily, otherwise an ak or draw-knife
should be used.
Because they have a uniform abb
sorbing surface of sapwood, round
sticks are more satisfactory than split
timber. With treated timber it is not
necessary to use the large-sized line
posts commonly cut and used in the
past. BY using post from three to
four inches in top diameter and long
enough to allow only a few inches
above the top wire, the cost is re-
duced for creosote and for labor in
handling, the post lasts practically as
long as larger sizes, and it affords
ample strength for the fence line.
These facts have been fully estab-
lished by means of experiments and
demonstrations carried on for more
than ten years by the forest service,
United States department of agricul-
ture, in cooperation with number of
state agricultural colleges in different
parts of the country.
Preservative Should Penetrate.
In treating the posts it is important
to get a deep penetration of the pre-
sentative Of from one to two inches in
the butt of the post for a height of
one foot above the ground level when
i the post is set in place. This is OBJ
tanned by boiling the butt in creosote
heated to about 210 degrees f. for one
to two hours, depending upon the
porosity of the wood, followed imme-
diately by bath in ''cold" $50 degrees
to 100 degrees F.) creosote for about
the same period of time. The wood
cells, expanded and deprived of some
of the air by being heated, during the
cooling treatment gradually absorb the
desired amount of the creOsote. The
tops obviously require only shallow
treatment to last as long as the butts.
Where only single open drum or
tank is used, top treatment may be ac-
complished by means of thoroughly
painting the tops with brush, or
pouring hot creosote over the tops.
A very satisfactory outfit for treat
ing posts consists of an upright cylin-
drical tank for the hot treatment and
a horizontal rectangular tank or vat
for the cold bath. For applying the
hot creosote to the butts one of the
largeTsized gasoline or oil drums,
about "a inches in diameter, is
very satisfactory for small opera
lions, but for larger or cooperative
treatment cylindrical steel tank
feet in diameter by 4 feet in
height should be used. In either case
there will be needed horizontal steel
tank about feet across by 8
feet in height and s feet in length,
or large enough to accommodate the
corner posts.
