Government Tells Of the Value
Of Concrete for Fence Posts

Concrete-cement, sand, gravel and
water combined in proper proper
tions-has become one of the leading
building materials of the day. 1t has
shown its worth as substitute for
wood; houses built entirely of cement,
the trimming and supports of wood
being merely for decorative effect; il
is used by the government, by rail-
roads, by farmers in hundreds of wavs,
either alone of reinforced, and has
been found to produce even good fence
posts. It's moderate cost, its dura .
bility, the ease with which it is
handled, the wide distribution of the
sand, gravel, and stone of which it is
composed, commend it to the consid-
Grafton of all builders.
AS a material for fence posts con-
crete has been found to possess but
few of the disadvantages of wood, to
have practically all its advantages, and
to be superior Id mome respects to
timber. OF courseSthe first cost may
be more or less than the best wooden
posts, but that depends on local con-
ditions-the timber supply, the de-
posts of sand, gravel and rock, and
the skill of the workman If manu-
featured as usual and cured for three
months concrete posts are as good as
the best wooden posts. After three
years, wooden posts possess only one
third to one-h half of their original
strength whereas concrete grows
stronger with age and needs no re-
pairs as neither weather nor fire in
jures it. Under ordinary circum-
stances concrete posts will last for
ever; and even IL in the course OF

is no effective desire for war among
the other nations that would not be
stilled of these two powers could lie
relied on to be peaceful and to dis
countenance war among others. The
busy minds of statesmen in all the
minor storm centers or those watching
these centers from the great capitals
all turn toward London and berlin
Could they see there assured signs Of
continuous calm they would neither
fear nor hope for war to disturb their
plans or TO promote them. In the UNI
easy, confused affairs of the nearer
east, for instance, no one would give
a second thought to the Turks troubles
with the Albanians or to the ambitions
of Servia and Greece, or even TO the
far reaching schemes Of Austria, were
1T not for the possibility OF involving
Germany and Great Britain.
The situation of Japan in the orient
and it's relations with the occident aro
more remotely affected, but they would
be relatively easy to foresee IL the re-
lations of Russia and France AMI Ger
many and Great Britain were based on
the secure maintenance of peace on the
part of the last two powers. For Japan,
though she has a strong and we'll
trained army, is an island empire,
practically disarmed If her navy Is
hopelessly opposed. as 1t would be
were the navies of Germany and Great
Britain combined against It. 1t is,
then, to Berlin, wither he next pro-
ceeds, that Mr.. Roosevelt must take his
conception of an armed league of
peace. It is on the statesmen and
| rulers of these capitals that the in
fiuence of the public sentiment he un-
doubtedly represents must be concen-
trated. We cannot think that the
problem is rendered easier by being
thus simplified. 1t is by no means
new one. 1t has baffled some of the
keenest and strongest minds of each
nation. And 1t will be still further
complicated by the death of the king
OF England, and the passing away of
his influence abroad and at home.

years a few should be broken by un-
usual strain, 1t is cheaper to replace
them than to replace an entire fence
of decayed posts with a material with
the same lack of durability.
Concrete posts are attractive in APP
pearance because of their uniform size
and color and can be made either
Square, triangular. or round, either
straight or tapering towards the top.
They can be purchased from dealers
or made at home, and this latter plan
together with suggestions as to the
construction of the fence after the
pasts are made and cured is the theme
of Farmers Bulletin No. 403, recently
issued by the u. S. department of ag-
riculture. The author takes up in de-
tail the selection of sand, gravel, crush
ed rock, and cement; the choice of
molds-either steel or wooden, and if
wooden, the proper way to make
square or triangular molds. Rein
insertion of steel rods
or wire in the molds when making the
posts, is discussed as to the principle
involved and the kinds of reinforce
ment best suited to certain needs. The
work of mixing, molding and curing
is explained with minuteness, and the
variety of styles which can be pro-
duced described. Under fence build
ing" is given instruction as to setting
the posts, attaching the wire, stretch
ing the fencing and the use of line
anchors Nine illustrations give de-
tailed drawings of molds methods and
results. The pamphlet closes with a
warning to persons intending to buy
post molds, either steel or wooden, to
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-06-11

beware of travelling agents who are
selling molds or rights for the sale
or use of their respective molds. No
dealings should be had with these
agents except when fully satisfied
through reports from ones banker or
lawyer that the company represented
by the agent is reliable and that the
agent is their authorized representa-
tive. Patents have been issued on
special types of reinforcement, and
they can not be generally used with
out danger of infringing patent rights;
but none of the simple forms described
in the bulletin is patented or patent
able, and they are just as good as the
special forms advertised and recon-
mended by the agents. No one need
hesitate to use the simple form of con-
struction recommended, for it has been
in common use in all countries for a
number of years, and all claim that
the general use of reinforced concrete
fence posts is controlled by patent
rights are unjustified and untrue,
