ment, they can be inverted In the tank,
This should be done In the case OF soft
woods.
In the single tank treatment the
creOsote is heated to temperature Of
200 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Enough
creosote is put into the tank to sub
merge the lower three or three and
one-half feet of the posts. The tenn
perature is maintained at about 30
degrees for from two to six hours, de-
pending upon the kind of wood being
treated. The harder the wood the
longer II should be immersed. The
fire is allowed to die down and the
posts are left In the cold creosote for
from four to fourteen hours.
II two tanks are used the work can
be speeded up, since the cold bath is
applied in the second tank. The ere
osote should penetrate the posts to a
depth of from one-quarter to one inch
Tests should be made to see that this
penetration is secured.

WHY CLAIM WAS NOT VALID

without absorbing its meaning.
Several cases were ahead of the
negro's and many legal phrases were
uttered in his hearing. Plainly he was
more interested in these than In his
own predlcament Finally, his name
was called. He arose with great dig
nifty and advanced TO the bar OF jus

Following this denial Il was neces-

save the defendant from his accuser.
Finally the Amazonian war cry re-
solved itself into an Ineligible pro-

INDIAN sIeIaht.of.Hand pertormers.

The old Indian medicine men were
In many instances clever sleight-of-
hand performers. A very common
trick among Indian charlatans was TO
pretend to suck foreign bodies, such
as stones, out of the bodies OF theil
patients. Records of this are found
among many tribes from the lowest In
culture to the highest, even among
the Aztecs.
A Hldatsa residing In Dakota in 1865
was known by the name of Cherry-in-
the-mOuth, because he had trick OF
producing from his mouth at any sea
son what seemed to be fresh wild
cherries. He had found some way OF
preserving cherries, perhaps in whisky
1t was easy for him to hide them In
his mouth before intending to play
the trick. The Indians considered II
wonderful magic.

also make II possible to utilize crops
grown primarily in a rotation for re-
storing the fertility OF worn-out lands.
The comparative value Of number
of different silage crUDs for steer feed
ing was recently worked out by the
department In cooperation with the
Louisiana experiment station. In one
instance similar lots of cattle were
fed a ration of cottonseed meal and
blackstrap mOlasses In combination
with corn silage, corn and Biloxi soy
bean silage, sorghum silage, sorghum
and Biloxi soy-bean silage.
The best gain was made by the
steers fed the straight corn silage, but
1t was shown that the capacity of a
farm for fattening or winterlng cattle
may be greatly increased by the use
of heavy-yleldlng silage crops such as
sorghum and Japanese cane. Imma-
ture Biloxi soy beans mixed with corn
or sorghum were not so satisfactory,
but with late-maturing crops like Japa-
nese cane these soys gave very good
results. Sorghum silage and japanese
cane and Biloxi soy-bean sllage are
practically equal in feeding value for
steers when supplemented by cotton
seed meal and molasses.

POST TREATMENT

Experiments at Iowa College
With Water Gas Tar in Con-
junction With Creosote.
y-PROUUCT or GAS PLANTS
CreosotIng viii Lensthen Life Of
Posts Of Any Kind Of Wood-ls
Especially Valuable With Cot
tonwood or Willow.

A new economy In the preservative
treatment OF fence posts is in sight, II
experiments with the use of water gas
tar in conjunction with creosote,
which are being conducted by forest
ers Of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station, justify the belief that
the tar can be utilized.
Water gas tar, by.product Of arti-
ficial gas plants is much cheaper than
creosote. The purpose of the expert
ments is to determine whether or not
the tar can be successfully used in
mixture with the creosote and In what
proportions to give the best results.
The economic value of the preserva-
tive treatment of posts has been dem
onstrated in many cases, says @. b.
Macdonald, head Of the forestry de-
partment at the college. Creosoting
Will lengthen the life of posts of any
kind Of wood, but Il is especially valu-
able with soft woods.
Tests have shown that such soft
woods as willow and cottonwood,
which last only three or four years II
untreated, will serve as posts for from
20 to % years when treated. This
fact makes possible the utilization by
the farmer of woods of this kind on
the farm which would otherwise be
practically useless.
1t is practicable, Mr.. Macdonald
points out, for a farmer to set out a
small plantation of quick-growing
trees, such as the cottonwood, and in
FIVE or six years have the start Of a
permanent supply of posts. 1t is esti-
mated that a post per acre is needed
every year. A considerable saving can
be made by the farmer who grows
and treats his own posts.
Two methods of creosoting posts are
recommended by Mr.. Macdonald, one
In which one tank is used and another
which requires two tanks. In the first
method posts are put into the creosote
tank with the creosote at high TEN
perature, and are allowed to cool In
the same tank. When two tanks arr
used the posts are transferred, after
their bath In the hot creosote, to the
other tank, which contains cold creo
. sote.
On medium-sized farms, where ion
or more posts are needed annually,

galvanized iron, about SO inches in dl

prompt and intelligent attention,
there is much less danger of pneu-
monia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease
