BRACING CORNER POSTS.
''"" '"e PROPER Execution OF This
work Depends the Usefulness
of All Wire Fencing.

Inc usefulness Of wire fence
largely depends upon the stability
Vi the corner post. There is heavy
STRAIN upon it, so it must be deeply
set and well braced. If the corner
post is drawn but an inch from its
upright position the wires slacken.
ana loose wire fence is a poor and
dangerous one.
Ihe common fault is in placing the
brace too high on the post, and the
post Is drawn out of line.
In this section our fences are gen

high' with the second wire 20 inches

There is something very depress-

Braces should be 10 feet long. but
ten feet will do if extra care is taken
in setting posts.
But better method is like that
given below. The braces are clear

These straight braces are but six

heavy, smooth wire are stretched

tightly into a solid cable.
