Treating Pence Posts With Coal
Tar

LAX
M. L. w, Rutledge, Ga.
writes: Please give me the for
mula for treating fence posts
only have pine timber on my
land and do not think it would
pay to use an untreated pine
post. What Is the average cost
OF treating them and how long
should they last when treated?
Pine posts may be treated with
goal tar as follows: The posts should
De cut and peeled during the winter
very carefully. Use the ak for the
coarse work and a draw-knife to fin
ish. Pile the posts in what is called
"log-cabin" fashion. This permits
the air to circulate through them
freely and season them. The pile
vent decay while drying. 1t requires
One to three months to season them,
depending upon weather conditions.
Next pour coal tar into a tank
until about half full. Build a fire
under this tank and bring the tar
to boiling. Place the posts in the
tank. butt down, and boil them for
one hour. Rake the fire out and al
low the tank to cool for one hour.
The posts should be painted with hot
tar on the tops. Dry the posts for
one or two weeks.
Untreated sap pine posts will rot
In about a year. Treated sap pine
posts will last anywhere from ten to
twenty years. 1t costs from to 5
cents to treat the posts.
The tank or container should be
set up on a brick fireplace which is
open on one side. Rocks may be
used to build it in the absence OF
brick.
Growing a Hog Out Rapidly
]. P. r., Reidsville, Ga, writes:
I wish all the information you
can give me on raising pigs. l
have a fine Hampshire, and want
to grow him out by the best
method.
Judging from your letter you are
@ member of the boys pig club, and
] am glad that this is true; also that
you are so much interested in feed
ing and handling your hog in a man
ner that will insure it's growing out
rapidly to a large size at a relatively
small cost.
Hogs require a good deal of water.
You should see that your animal
has an abundant supply of water
that is free from contamination from
any outside source. This is very
him free from parasites of every
kind. You can do this by keeping
him well oiled, or by dipping him
from time to time. Then you should
see that he has plenty of mineral
matter, either in his food or on the
range he grazes over. The follow
ing is an excellent mixture of min
eral matter for you to make up and
provide where he can gain easy ac-
cess thereto: Four pounds of sui
phur, eight pounds of rock phosphate
or air-slaked lime, six pounds of
salt, one bushel of wood ashes, one
bushel of charcoal, two pounds of
copperas. The coppears should be
dissolved in water and sprinkled over
the mixture,
Next you should see that your hog
gets plenty of grazing crops suited
to his needs. Cowpeas or soy beans
should have been planted some time
Then you should have a small area
of sweet potatoes and limited area

WHAT IT COST TO SEND MAIL
 IN 0LDEN DAYS

If you are one of the people who look up from your bank book and then begin to talk about the good old days when a dollar was still worth a dollar and a square meal could be bought for a Qaurter, if you read in the papers a. few days ago that Con greSs is contemplating raising the price of stamps to three cents instead of two. you probably became rather indignant at the idea. But consider the history of stamps for a minute. In those same far-famed good old days of low prices, at the time when your grandad was penning love let ters to grandma, it cost him ten cents for each letter if it had to travel over 300 miles and three cents if it went less than that distance. Until 1860 nothing but letters and printed mat ter were transported by the post of ! fec and as late as 1868 there were only 49 cities in the country which | had free delivery.
 i Some letters were recently found | in Stratford in an old house that was being cleaned. They dated from early in the. last century to about 1 1S4O and showed very we'll how let
 envelope was used, the writing paper
 being folded in such a way that the | outer face was left blank for the | address, and then sealing wax was l placed on it to keep it closed. There | were no stamps then, in fact prepay nlent by means of stamps did not come into use here until 1856. In
 stead the letter was carried to the
 post office, usually only one in a city i and there it was paid for according
 to the distance it had to go. From Stratford to New Haven cost 10 cent: and from New Haven to Char1estown s. C., required a 25 cent fee. These \ prices gradually were lowered as the
 department developed and as the
 transportation facilities of the country
 improved, but it was not until 1883
 that the uniform rate of two cents fol
 a letter any place within the United States went into use
 So, if they do decide in Washing,
 ton to raise tho postal rate another cent say anything you want about 1t but this once don't sigh for the go1der times that are gone.
