such mistakes, owners Of farm wood
land should familiarize themselves
with the uses for which each kind of
timber is best adapted
Timber that is cut in the late spring
and summer months should be handled
with special care to avoid injury, be-
cause freshly cut wood is then more
likely to be attacked BY insects and
fungi than during the colder months.
Seasoning proceeds more rapidly dur
ing the warmer season and may cause
excessive checking, which is not benen-
cial to the timber. Il rightly handled
posts. poles and logs may be cut at any
season without their durability being
affected. In no case should wood be
allowed to lie In direct contact with
the ground. The opportunity for In
sect attack and decay can be reduced
to minimum by peeling the tlmhers
and open-piling them of the ground in
o shaded but dry place. This, how
ever, does not retard checking Of the
wood.
Logs are sometimes stored under
water, in the hot season, to prevent
blue stain, checking. Insect attack, and
decny. Painting the ends of logs with
a yellow ochre or barn paint will very
materially retard injury by end check
ing. Painting peeled timbers with
creosote will prevent sap stain and
