There is a WOOD For Every Need

THIS?

OR THIS?

The Automobile and Family Carriage Are Kept Under Cover. Is This Fair to the Implements Which Make the Farm Pay?

“When it comes to actual waste, the Great American Desert with its constant canopy of blue sky over it has very little on the Great American Machine Shed. The chief difference is that the former is found in a particular locality only, while the latter extends from coast to coast. Both are in the open, both represent zero in profitable and economical usage, and both need the undivided attention of conservation experts.”--Tractor Farming.

Wood “Where Best”

The legitimate use of lumber where it is best, or by proper selection or treatment can be made to serve economically and safely, is the aim of the lumbermen in publishing a series of bulletins on Farm Structures. Wood has for so long been the most widely used building material that its availability and importance have either been taken for granted or lost sight of. It is helpful to review the outstanding features of the present situation:

Wood remains the most universal, most adaptable building material in the world.

The supply is ample for all requirements, and the kinds and grades best suited for all purposes are obtainable everywhere.

In cost it remains one of the cheapest materials.

It is the lightest building material known, and the strongest, weight for weight.

Its qualities are known; it is easy to work; it can be cut and shaped by any one into the myriad uses required for the shelter and comfort of man.

There is no material more beautiful in appearance, more susceptible to artistic finish, nor which is as productive of sentiment and satisfaction for home building.

Wood is a non-conductor of heat,--cool in summer and warm in winter.

The relative qualities of durability, serviceability and workability should be considered in selecting wood for homes and farm buildings. =Consult the local lumber dealer.= His knowledge and advice will assure cheaper, more stable buildings.

Except where naturally durable woods are available, a preservative treatment will prove economical for timber exposed to moisture and decay, as sills, basement flooring, fence posts; and in similar situations.
