Longleaf or yellow i pine, cypress, mulberry am? black j locust are anient: the most satisfactory woods commonly used for posts, j Sap woods are unsatisfactory unless | treated with creosote and in fact. ' all posts should be treated. We advise the open tank process." ; In this process, two open tanks are used, one for hot treatment and the other for cold treatment, states ^ Mr. Hoiman. Get the posts ready? cue. trimmed and peeled. Use a 100-galloh steel oit drum with the J head removed for the first tank and another drum or trough for the sec.; pnd.

This second j. ; tank is also filled with the same preservative maintained at 100 de*-s j grees or certainly not less than -50. er This * is called the cold tank. The it posts should remain here for *10 >0_ j minutes. Usually the base or ground) . | end is treated in tank number one j 'n ! and the whole post in tank number 1 | two. states Mr. Hoiman. The creo-j ir-jsote oil should penetrate at least j Lni [ three-fourths uf an inch to effective-! i'ly prolong: the life of the post. I X. r.
