SAVING FENC,E, POSTS
Ontario Puts In Twenty Million
•Pence'Posts Yearly:
White Cedar Posts Will Soon Be
Unobtainable -Coal Tar Creosote
the Best Wood Preservative --

,
.aontributed by Outage° Department of

Every year the decay a fence posts
On Ontario farms requires a replace-
ment of not less than twenty million
posts. This repair bill pf five million
dollars each year could be very great-
ly reduced :through the use of wood
preseraativei. A white cedar post
costin.g twenty-five cents may last fif-
teen years in the natural condition,
but treated with creosote it will last
thirty years. It should be good busi-
nese to treat all posts, saving money,
posts and labor.
White Cedar Posts. Soon 'Unobtain-
able.
White cedar posts will soon be un-
obtainable. Other woodeean be used;
wdods with a reputation for early de-
cay, but which can be made very
efficient Iv the creosote treatment.
For instance, soft maple or willow
posts vein last but four years in the
natural condition; treat them with
creosote and such twill be serviceable
for twenty years. It costs about
twenty cents per post for creosote
treatment. • If the post will last dou-
bfe or flye times as long through be-
ing creosoted, surely the twenty
cent investment is a profitable one.
Decay Caused by Emig' and Bacteria.
Decay or rot in fence posts Is
caused by fungi,and bacteria. Wood
tissue being largely cellulose is a
good food for bacteria and fungi,
and the moist, away from light, con-
dition just beneath the surface of the
soil is also suitable to their develop-
ment. Hence we see the posts rotting
off just below the surface of the soil
In which such are set. When a post
is soaked with creosote it becomes
a poison medium to the fungi and
bacteria that may attack it; and their
growth is greatly retarded. Coal tar
creosote is the ialost satisfactory pre-
servative that we can use on the
farms. The posts to be treated must
be thoroughly seasoned and dry to
absorb sufficient creosote. The prac-
tice of spraying or brushing on hot
creosote is not a very profitable one,
as the wood does not absorb enough
of the preservative to be of much use.
Row to Get Best Results.
To get good results, an open tank
with fire place beneatla, dr other heat-
ing arrangement, should be set up.
The coal tar creosote is heated in the
open tank, and then the posts are
immersed long enough to permit a
good soaking with the hot oil. A large
oil drum with one end removed and
set. over a fireplace makes a cheap
and efficient tank, if nothing larger
is at hand on the farm. The follow-
ing points should be kept in raind by
the man doing the work:
• (1) Have the posts clean, dry and
free from bark.
(2) Heat the creosote to 180° F.,
and maintain for 2 to 6 hours, ac-
cording to condition of posts.
(3) Immerse the posts in the creo-
sote deep enough to give a treatrnent
that will extend six inches above the
ground line after pests are set in
sence row.
(4) Leave the posts in the hot oil
long enough to permit them to cool
after the fire has been drawn.
(5) Add more creosote to the tank
to take the place of that absorbed.
(6) Use small posts; 43 inches
in diameter and round are to be pre-
ferred.
(7) Do not let the temperature go
above 200° F. -L. Steveeson, 0.A.C.,

National Parks Commissioner J. B.
Harkin, Visitors to all Canadian
national parks during the year in
question were estimated at 166,000,
of whom more than 71,000 'went to
Banff. Foreign travelers to the larger
parks were about 65,000. From an

of $300 spent by each foreign visitor
while io Canada, the national parks
accounted for an indirect revenue of
some ga,soo,000, whicla amounts 'ha
about $2.22 per capita of Canada's

IN lint with new legislation • belling
J
passed in the various States of the
American Union aimed to diminish
the alinning number of aecidenes
through reckless driving of autpino-
biles, particularly on leeel railroad
crossings, the Board of Railway
Commissioners for Canada has -re-
quested .the Cenadian PacifiC Rail-
way to submit information bearing
upoa similar dangerous practices by
motorists On various portions of its
system so that use may be` made of
the information with a view .to en-
deavoring, through education, to
minimize the occurrence of 'sleets clan-
• gerous practices.
In a Bulletin issued the • Board
of Railway Commissioners on June
15th, 1923, 54 cases of danger at pro-
tected crossings are cited for the
period Oceeber, 1922, to, •May, 1923,
and of these fifty are declared to
have been due to the carelesSness of
motor' drivers. "Motor • accidents,"•
says the bulletin, "are' becoming
more frequent. Every sane motorist
deplores this. If actidente itteho be
lessened, the sane motorist must edu-
cate the cut. pa hly negligent -motor-
ists." es; • •
••
All highway' crossiegs are by law
protected by signs, and they are only
dangerous when the driver ofetheau-
tomobile makes them so. Theyeare
not dangerous if motOrists will ake
a small part of the care they exercise
in turning on a city street. Mil -the
motorist's carelessness that makes
them dangerous. The train has right
of way. Everyone knows what may
happen if the plainly seen warnihgs
are disregarded at a point where, the
motor car can stop while the ireih
cannot. ,
The surprising part of it alse
that safeguards and precautions
erected by the railroads are so often
entirely ignored. Time after tiitie
newspaper reports show that ceeeS-
ing alarm bells, barrier gates end
even watchmen waving "stop'i, sig -
"I t mean nothing to the man in. the
4111111•••••••••••••11111•E,
+
motor car who is determined to beat
the train to it.
Coroners' juries are usually more
diecriminating and put the blame
where it belongsbut the general
public, seeing the usual newspaper
heading, "Train Crashes into Motor
Car," starts out with the impression
that the train muse necessarily be to
blame, when, as a matter of fact, a
fairer statement of the case would
be "Another Auto Gets in Path a
Fast Train." Quite as often, too, the
heading should read, "Flying Auto
Dashes into Moving Train." Fre-
quently the auto strikes the train
well behind the engine, a convincing
indication that the motorist too fre-
quently treats the railroad crossing
with the same casual notice that he
gives the intersection of a quiet
country road.
Out of 32 level crossing accidents
that happened in Ontario during
1922, 22 were the result of the motor-
ist thot heeding the stop signal, and
seven were the result of runnine into
the lowered gates or attually passing
under them after they were lowered
or while they were being lowered.
One man had no headlights and ap-
parently did not see the gates were
down while the remainder in other
ways tried to cross in front of the
engine in order to save time.
In an editorial on this question, the
Toronto Star says that: "In a coulee
try like this, with its magnificent din,
tances, and railway systems with
tweety thousand miles of track, the
time may never come when all level
crossings will be eliminated. Witb.
motor cars in use everywhere there
is no railway crossing so renaote but
that a motorist may use it. It is hie
business to see that he does so at ti
safe moment. Et is his buiiness for
two reasons: (1) because It is the
presence of him and his car at that
time and place, and not the coming
of the train, which creates the risk of
a crash; and (2) because if there
should be a crash he and his car will,'
be crushed, and not the train."
