Moisture Rots Lumber
We all know that a post in wet
ground will rot but most of us are
not sure just how much moisture
it takes.. Scientists tell us that,
when the wood has q. moisture con
tent of '20 per cent, it is very sus
ceptible to attack by micro-organ
isms and insects, which in ’one word
means rotting. Seasoned wood in
average temperature and humidity
contains 12 'to 15 per cent mpisture
and will not decay. This wood suf
fers from changes in humidity, ihow-
er, as evidenced by swelling and
shrinking. - • -
Most rotting lumber is found in
sta-bles, pig pens, hen houses, sheep
pens, dairy houses and root storage
cellars. In fact almost any wood in
contact with the ground will decay;
for example, fence posts and feed
ing troughs. We haye -managed to
get along fairly well by treating
this lumber with coal-tar creosote
•but it has many disadvantages.
Creosote is inflammable, 'has a dis
agreeable .odor and will not take
a satisfactory coat of paint.
Basketball

showed more experience than their
London rivals and "under the watch
ful eye of coach Dave Pinkney

the finals.
Two players stood out, for the
winners, Hindbuck and Hurly. Be
sides scoring two goals Hindbuck
played a-- very effective game at the
blue line. The ^oung defenceman
can really jolt his opponents
around, too. While he hadn’t too

nets looks like an up-and-coming

Chemical Stops Decay
The IDow Chemical Company has
a product nailed Pentachlorphenol
which is claimed as the best yet
for preventing rot in lumber. It is
a crystalline organic chemical, sol
uble in oils but only slightly sol
uble in. water. This product will de
stroy all fungi, bacteria and other
micro-organisms that bring about
our rotting fence posts, Pentachlor
phenol is usually applied to wood as
a 5 per cent .solution in a light fuel
oil. Five to six pounds per cubic
feet of wood above ground is con
sidered sufficient and 8 to 10
pounds for wood in contact with
the ground. This treated wood Will
take a good coat of paint which is
a -big advantage over our old meth
od of using creosote.
Ten Year Test
During the summer of 1935, a
number of boards were treated with
a variety %of wood preservatives'!”
Last year, after a trial of ten years,
many pieces of this lumber were -in
bad shape, indicating failure or par
tial failure of the preservative
used. Those treated with 'Penta
chlorphenol were still sound pieces
of lumber and had withstood at
tacks of micr-organisms and ter
mites,
Feed Sheep Roughage
Sheep should be fed plenty of
roughage—they like it and are able
tp. make good use of it. They do
well on pasturage during growing
season 'and plenty of well-cured hay
and other forage in the winter. Suf
ficient alfalfa and clover fe,d during
the winter will provide adequate
protein as -well as calcium 'and. vita
mins A and D. Good roughage is
satisfactory for breeding ewes until
one • month before lambing but -af
ter that they need additional 'nut
rients to provide for the rapid
arowth of the unborn lamb. For th-is
month, a small amount of grain or
other concentrates should be fed
and later, during the nursing per
iod the amount needs to be in
creased.
Fattening Lambs
The same combination of rough
age and grain or concentrates is
used .to faten lambs rapidly. They
will usually come to the proper de
gree of fatndbstebelfore getting -too
large if libera; quantities oif .grain
and roughage are used. They gain
more weight in proportion than
cattle and therefore require more
total .digestible . nutrients, that is,
compared to -their relative weights.
Many expensive proteins have fail
ed to produce better .gains than
straight feeding of clover, alfalfa
and grains such as corn. If the gains
are even greater with the more ex
pensive proteins, the cost per pound
is usually higher.' However, if the
hay is a ^nixed legume and grass
or a combination of legume hay and
non-legume roughage, a protein
supplement is needed to balance
t'he ration.
Wool Needs Protein
Wool fibres are composed of pro
tein, so sheep getting little or no
legume hay should be given gener
ous amounts of protein-fich supple
ments. Corn gluten feed alone is
n'ot good enough in this case and
should be replaced ,by better protein
feeds such as linseed meal or soy
bean meal. For sheep feeding, ani
mal proteins such as tankage 'are
not better than plant’ proteins.

SUGAR BEET GROWERS
INCREASE ACREAGE
o'
Early reports on sugar beet contracts already signed by farmers
show a good increase per farm over last year.
If this increase keeps up, many more million pounds of sugar
will be produced in Ontario this season. That's. good news.
WHY THIS^ INCREASED
1. There's a world-shortage of sugar.
2, There's a good cash market for every sugar beet
harvested — and with a floor price too.
‘ 3n The price for sugar beets is the highest in 26 years.
It's peace time now — former beet workers who
were employed in war plants are showing interest
in sugar beets again — definite improvement, in
farm labor is indicated.
YOUR FIMD MAN IS NOW TAKING CONTRACTS
— SEE HIM AT ONCE —
e
The company will
pay 58 cents per ton
for all production
over the 194,000 tons
taken care of by the
Ontario Government
subsidy.
Dominion Govern
ment provides 60%
cents per cwt. of
sugar.
You can make good
money on sugar
beets’this year.
