Hollow posts require about four
pounds less of concrete than solid
posts which considerably reduces the
cost.
Molds for concrete line posts are
made OF both steel and wood, and are
built for single posts, or in sets or

into consideration the nature OF the

and gives the post neater finish and
any shape desired. Where the appear.
ance is important, steel molds are to
be preferred to wooden.
Wooden molds good enough for
ordinary demands are very easily
made. White pine is the best wood
for this purpose. but at the same time
1t Is the most expensive. Cheaper
kinds OF lumber, which are easy to
work with, may be used. Molds made
Of 2-inch planks, dressed on both
sides, form neater posts, but lighter
lumber may bo used, II the forms are
well braced.
In imitation OF the manner In which
tree trunks grow, concrete posts are
usually made tapering in size from
butt to top. While this method may
add little to the appearance of the
post and effect n slight saving in con.
crete. this saving is largely Offset by
the additional cost Of the carpenters
work and the lumber used in making
the molds. theoretically, the taper
ing post has n better design than the
one with straight sides, but for ordi.
nary use one is as good as the other.
In making these molds. dressed

be used. The proper dimensions for

dressed lumber they are x or 1S
inches thick and 3ss, 5Ss. ~. 9Ia. or

Concrete has a tendency to stick to
either steel or wood. In order to
yield a smooth finish to the post, II Is
customary to give the inside OF the
molds a coating Of oil. Soft soap or
crude oils used sparingly serve the
purpose well. Too much oil will de-
