and the posts left in the creosote until they have cooled down.

Two runs of posts can easily be treated in a day on the farm 

 without interfering A\dth the regular w^ork. The tank can be 

 filled with posts in the morning and a fire built to last about two 

 hours before burning out. The posts after being heated, will 

 cool down during the day, and by night will be treated. A new 

 run of posts can be put in, heated as before for two hours, and 

 allowed to cool down over night. In cool weather the tank wnll 

 cool down fast enough so that it will be possible to start a new 

 run at noon. In this way, three runs of fifteen to twenty posts 

 each can be treated without much effort each day.
