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 a fire can be built
under it. Both tanks are filled two
/ thirds full of creosote, which cen 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 well 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
a 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 Eve 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 well
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
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 ill 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. Flimsy fencing costs a little
less at first. but does not last well !
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 well galvanized. Wire |

shown by the cTevices and joints be-
ing filed with the galvanizing material.
will last much longer than that which
is galvanized before weaving. In the
latter case the galvanizing material
will he more or less cracked and the
wire will soon begin 10 rust
1t is Of great Importance To have the
wire well stretched. An ordinary wire
stretcher will not stretch woven wire
tightly enough. Where large guam
tity is purchased at a time a power
full wire stretcher is usually thrown in.
It will pay to set a temporary post a
little way back from the corner 10

Woven wire is unquestionably the

higher than for barbed wire. but this
can De cut down by making only the
