posts with creosote is very simple and
Inexpensive. Any kind of post is suit
able for use with this treatment-in-
deed. the poorest soft wood posts last
the longest after being properly treat
ed The apparatus needed consists of
two small metal tanks, one Of which
is arranged SO that fire can be built
under it. Both tanks are filled two
thirds full of creosote. which can be
bought by the barrel at reasonable
rates The creosote in one of these
tanks is heated almost to boiling, and
the posts. which must be we'll sea-
soned, are placed in it and left for
about six hours. Usually only the part
of the post that is to go into the ground
is treated.
After remaining in the hot creosote
for six hours the posts are taken out
and Immediately placed in the cold
creosote The sudden reduction of
temperature causes the steam in the
pores Of the post to contract. making
partial vacuum. and the air pressure
drives the creoSote into all parts of
the post. This treatment costs only
about 10 cents post. The treated
posts will last twenty years or longer.
or about FIVE times as long as untreat-
ed ones.
In putting up a permanent woven
wire fence great care must be taken
to see that the corner posts are we'll
braced. Fig. shows a very effec-
i've way Of making a solid corner. The
corner post should be considerably lar
| ger than the others. A hole , by 4
should be dug to set it in. Bolt a
| piece of plank about three feet long
to the bottom of the post and a shorter
piece at right angles to the first. Fill
in dirt up to the top of these and lamp
it solid. Then roll in a number of
large stones and fill the rest Of the
hole with dirt. tamping it we'll all the
way up. Such a post, if properly
braced, will not give much under any
strain that may be put upon it, A
way that is still better. though little
more expensive. is to set the corner
post in cement
The fencing selected :. should be
strongly woven and made of good sized
wire. Flinsy fencing costs little
less at first. but does not last we'll
enough to warrant putting it up. Be
sure that the cross wires are fastened
firmly to the longitudinal strands, so
that they cannot be spread out of
place.. Both the woven and the barbed
wire should be we'll galvanized. Wire
that is galvanized after weaving. as
shown by the crevices and joints be-
ing filled with the galvanizing material,
will last much longer than that which
is galvanized before weaving. In the
latter case the galvanizing material
will be more or less cracked. and the
wire will soon begin to rust.
1t is Of great Importance to have the
wire we'll stretched. An ordinary wire
stretcher will not stretch woven wire
tightly enough. Where large guam
tity is pure at a time a power
full wire stretcher is usually thrown in
1t will pay to set a temporary post q
little way back from the corner t6
stretch from. The wire should be
wrapped around the corner post an(
fastened in several places, as the strair

81 IA of the equipment for live
w stock farming is good sys-
tenn of fences. Poor fences
cause breachy stock and endless trou-
bic. In the case of horses a wire cut
due to a poor fence will often mean
large enough loss to pay for several
rods of good fence
Woven wire is unquestionably the
best fencing material. 1t is slightly
durable and efficient. The expense is
higher than for barbed wire, but this
can De cut down by making only the
lower part of the fence Of woven wire
and using barbed wire for the upper
part. The strip of woven wire should
be from two to three feet in height,
