Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...life covers cost of creosoting; while an increase of 16 per cent, in life covers cost of the avenarius carbolineum treatment. Figuring conservatively that the latter treatment adds 50 per cent, life to wood, there is a clear gain above expense of 35 per cent., ignoring entirely the percentage of gain of costs for labor of replacement and expense and trouble connected with disturbance of roadbed or structure. This is surely a good investment. From a practical standpoint: Avenarius carbolineum is not required to go entirely through the wood; its peculiar chemical ingredients will gradually work Into it and cure the wood, in the same manner as smoke cures a ham. It comes ready for use, does not deteriorate nor evaporate, brush remains soft in it, and by heating it, it may be used in winter as well as summer. Its application simply requires a paint brush in the hands of unskilled labor or use by the open tank method. It can be transported to the lumber without trouble and at less cost than transportation of the latter to and from the treating plant. Application may be made most properly under your own supervision. A most excellent feature is that while the application of avenarius carbolineum excludes moisture from the wood, air may still enter the wood pores, thus the so-called dry-rot is prevented. In conclusion I wish to say that the Department of Forestry, U. S. A., deserves unstinted praise for its continuous efforts to ascertain the best means of wood preservation. Tests have been under way for several years on experimental pole lines in every part of the country with different wood preservatives, and results will no doubt be published in due time. Information on this subject in pamphlet form is furnished by the department to interested parties. Respectfu...
