than twenty rods III Il single line it
will be EeteSSary to brace line post
mid way between the corners TO stretch
from. as more than twenty rods can
not be frightened satisfactorily at one
stretch.
Wherever a gate is to be put in the
posts will have to be braced solidly
A coed way to do this is to put in
posts that will extend about twelve
feet above the ground and connect the
tops v it'll a strong wire. This method
of bracing cannot be used with cement
posts. as they will not stand much
lateral strain.
A swinging gate is by far the most
convenient. provided it is properly put
in. 1t should be we'll enough braced
so that it will not sag and drag on the
ground. In places where the snow is
likely to drift a gate that can be ad-
justed t" various heights is u great
convenience. Fig. . shows q conven-
lent and easily constructed type of
wooden gate. For road gates and at
other places where appearance counts
for anything an iron gate is preferable.

In putting up a permanent woven
wire fence great care must be taken
to see that the corner posts are we'll
braced. Fig. l shows a very effec
i've way Of making a solid corner. The
corner post should be considerably lar
ger than the others. 4 hole 2 by
should be dug to set it III. Bolt a
piece of plank about three feet long
to the bottom of the post and shorter
piece at right angles to the first. Fill
in dirt up to the top of these and temp
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 E'limsy fencing costs little
less at 0FSt. Out OOeS 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 well 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 a large guam
tity is pure based at a time a power

1t will pay to set temporary post
