UNSEASONED GREEN
POSTS LAST AS LONG
AS SEASONED ONES
Experiments Show That Deterioration
in Green Posts and Ties is No
Greater That That Of Sea
sOned Ones.

Unseasoned or green posts, ties and
poles in contact with. the soil will last
practically as long as seasoned wood.
This is the conclusion of experiments
and observations made by the Fores.
Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis
consin, and was given to this paper
by Professor Morrill,, head Of Fores-
try department at Colorado Agricul-
tura College.
In the case of railroad tes on the
Northern Pacific Railway, Douglas fir
ties which were seasoned lasted only
l.3 per cent longer than unseasoned
ones.
1t is said that the moisture content
is the chief factor in determining the
rate of decay. Granting the truth OF
this statement, it can be readily un-
derstood that seasoned stick will
very soon take up soil moisture until
the stick contains as much moisture
as the unseasoned stick, after which
decay will proceed at the same rate
in both.
All the above applies only to wood
which has not been treated with pre-
servatives.

SHADOW TURKEY Hen
TO Her STOLEN NEST
Easy and Quick Method Is to con'lne
Fowls Until Late In Afternoon
When They VIII Head Straight
for Secluded Retreat

Given free range, turkey hens
usually secrete their nests In obscure
places, such as patches Of weeds, tall
grass, or bushy thickets, and often
wander a half-mile or more from home
before they find places that suit them.
To find these "stolen" nests is often n
long and tedious task, the usual meth
cd being to follow each turkey hen
as she separates from the flock and
starts toward her nest. taking care
that she does not know she Is OBJ
served. A much easier and quicker
method than this Is to confine the
hens early some morning soon after
they have come down from rOost and
let them out late in the afternoon.
Those that are laying will then head
| straight for their nests In order 70
lay the eggs they have been holding
If attractive nesting places are pre-
pared about the barnyard, turkey hens
sometimes lay in them. In the North
where the laying season often begins
while there is still snow on the ground
they are more likely to select theil
nests near home than is the case il
the South, as they do not range fal
during cold weather.
Nests are easily made from boxe
or barrels, or by scooping out littl'
earth in the shape of shallow bow
and piling brush around 1t to satisf
the hens desire for seclusion. or al
nests, however, the one most preferre
by turkey hens is a barrel laid on 1t
side and a nest shaped In 1t wit
straw or hay. according to Unite
States department of agriculture pou
try specialists. When only a few tut
keys are kept 1t is the usual custoI
to allow them free range throughot
the breeding and laying season.
many turkeys are kept, however, IL
usually found most convenient to us
breeding pens or Enclosures, In whic
the turkeys are kept until they nav
laid their eggs for the day. lettir

Never send fowl to market that
has full crop.
Dry-picked poultry will stand longer
shipments than those that are scalded.
Insure yourself better egg yield by
increasing your selective powers in
picking good males.
