ducts an extensive livestock farm near
keota. In the course of a year he
uses large quantities OF fence posts and
building material.
For many years he replaced decay
ing posts and rOtting structures with
new material. but with the advent of
high lumber prices he was forced to
seek a cheaper system of maintenance.
Deciding he would give a prcServa-
tive treatment advised by Iowa State
college, to all posts and other wood
construction materials, Mr.. Kline pur-
chased IL rectangular tank made of
sheet iron. II feet long, 3 feet wide
and 4 feet in depth. This tank he plac-
ed on brick foundation so that Il fire
could be built under the full length.
Then he secured an ordinary water
tank, some block ard tackle and was
ready to employ an open tank process
OF prcSeryative treatment.
When he went to get the creOsotc
to treat the MATERIALS, MI. Nliuc
found that it was selling for 80 to %
cents IA gallon. Deciding that this was
too expensive, he obtained byproduct
Of water gas tar from the Washington
gas plant. This is much like the creO-
sote and only costs Il cents per gallon.
After two years he believes that his
posts are as well preserved as with
Creosote and at smaller cost.
While the forestry department. at
Iowa State college has not tested this
material fully, it believes it to be
worth trying, although they say that
I'll 30 cents gallon crcosote will pay
for itself in keeping up the lasting quail
ity of poor grade posts.
Mr.. Kline believes that his material
is equal TO creosotc and has treated
and other exposed lumber with
this material and after two years says
that it is worth while.

Although most Iowa farmers realize
the value of clover in rotation to main
tain soil fertility. there has been
smaller acreage in the state during
recent years than ten years ago. The
high price of clover seed tumbled with
:, crash last spring. and so the chlei
reason for not seeding down is elimi-
mated. However. ii is true that near
ly half of the clover seedlings in the
state are lost each year. Most OF
these losses occur because Of poor SOL
conditions. especially lack OF mons
ture.
Medium red clover, alsike and bi-
ennial sweet clover are the common
Ieg,lmes sown on Iowa farms. Red
clover and timothy are often seeded
together mt the rate of six pounds or

Wood Lot Needed on Farms.

Iowa farmers use between $4,000
600 and $1Q,O0oo0O worth of lumber
annually, according to the forestry de
partment at Iowa State college. and
this bill will soon be doubled. unless
they ecOnOmiZe in the use of the bet
ter grades and give attention to the
treatment of forest products. The
farmer is the largest user of wood in
the United States. say the forestry
experts, who estimate that As per cent
of all wood used annually goes to the
farms Not only does the farm re-
guire much timber and wood for posts.
fuel and minor supplies but the aver
age farm each year uses 1000 board
feet of lumber for buildings.
Better grades of building lumber.
such as pine, cypress and oak, accord
ing to l. I. Bode, extension service
forester, are getting scarcer every day.
but in spite Of this there is a greater
demand than ever for lumber and
posts on the farm. Building and re-
pair work on the average farm are at
present below normal but there will
soon be greater call for lumber.
To meet this demand Mr.. Bode adj
vocates the farm woodlot. Every farm
should have IL planting of trees of
different varieties and this should be
placed on waste land that will not
produce a. good agricultural crop. BY
the planting of rapid growing soft
wood trees, serviceable lumber will re-
suit in ten years time and these woods
can be treated with creosOte or other
preventative and last as long as the
better grades of liardwOOds.
In order to start this work in Iowa
the extension service has established
Il forestry department which will en-
GeavOr to increase the use of SoftwOnd
fence posts by treatment: establish
more wOOdlots in Iowa and have them
managed in definite manner and
placed on the wasted. corners and
poorer land of the farms; and to pro
vide permanent farm protection by

and buildings that will return wood for

Much Use Of Silage.

1t has not been many years since
corn silage was considered merely as
la feed suitable chiefly for dairy cows,
Int it has rapidly attained wide use
among beef producers in the corn belt
Now feeding that is not done on pas
ltura may be divided into two classes
that in which Silage is fed and that i'll
" hich il is not fed. AS whole the
two classes are now about equally
divided. hut in some states the differ
ence is very marked. Surveys by the
United States department OF agricult-
urc covering the last two winters snow
cd that S3 per cent Of 4.556 cattle fed
in Indiana received silage in their ra-
lions. 81 per cent of 1850 in Illinois. 30
per cent of $3.50 in Iowa. per cent
Of 6,lo9, in Nebraska, and 30 per cent
of S9G4 in Missouri.
Where silage is used it supplies most
of the roughage. Nearly all the silage
is made from corn, probably 30 per cent
of the total. Sorghum. sunfiowers, and
lcgumes are sometimes used in locali-
ties on the extreme edge Of the corn
belt. such as western Kansas and Ned
raska and western and northern South
Dakota. A greater Use of silage de-
ponds largely upon the supply anu
value of other rOughage.
The main facts about the use of sill
,re in fattening cattle are thus sum-
ma rized by the department 1.-The great
or fine proportion of silage to corn the
cheaper the gains The greater the
,u,antity of corn the less silage con-
sumed. Silagc will not fatten cattle
unless accompanied by concentrates.
