Depth to Set Posts

Some say that two feet is ample
depth, while others insist on three
feet Both may be and probably are
right. The depth mus; vary with the
probable freezing Of the soil. The
bottom OF the post ought to be at least
six inches below the probable depth OF
freezing. That amount OF soil will
remain packed about tho foot Of the
post and hold it down. Something
also depends On the material Of which
the fence Is made. Boards offer too
much resistance to winds. and at thu
top of the fence act on the post as on q
lever, twisting it out OF the ground.
Fence rails attached to posts have the
additional objection that their weight
says tho post so soon as the wind
causes 1t to lean. Careful farmers
now make post and rail fences with
ono or two strands of barbed wire at
the top After n little experience with
this fence by leading stock up to 1t
they generally learn to give 1t wide
berth. Such a fence will not blow
down nor easily sag If tho posts are
sunk below frost depth. Michigan
