Did old Mr.. Jason employ Miss ID.

the room. He hustled up three chairs
for her use. handed her a fan and then
kept swallowing at the lump In his

approximately at right angles to the
brace, then twisted tight with short
stick.
The brace should not be less than
six inches in diameter, and squared at
the ends.
There is yet another way of bracing
corner posts, to be commended for its
simplicity and low cost where timber
is scarce, 1t is best suited for back
fences, where there is no passing
around the corners.
This is an anchor placed in line
with the fence for an end post, but
where there is a corner it is midway
between, or at an angle of S5 degrees
with either line.
A pit two feet deep and foot wide
and four inches long is dug back six
feet from the post to be braced. A
log or chunk three feet long is buried
in the hole, two strands of No. 9 wire
tied around the middle of 1t,
secured to the top Of the posts.
When this log or dead man" as
is called, is covered and well tampa
the wire from it to the post should b.
twisted till the post leans slightly
then when the wire is stretched the
post will give sufficiently to put it
back straight.
One may think that this anchor
would pull up, but there is no danger
II it is put in two feet, and the wall
of the pit straight down, or little
caved, with a notch cut in the hank
for the wire to make straight pull
toward the top Of the post. This form
of brace tends to pull the post down
rather than up, as is the case with
the other braces.
For yard fence where appearances
count for more than in other places
the brace may be hidden. A hole Is
dug to the desired depth, being as

CBy H F. GRINsTEAD)

Any farm is worth $40 per acre
more when 1t is well fenced and di
yided into convenient fields and lots.
As there is more or less work and ex-
pense entsiled in getting good hog
tight fence in place, one should get
only the best material, and spend
more tine in setting and stretching
than wh.'n the common barbed wire
e used.
Woven wire, even Of the 26-ineh
width, exerts several times the strain
as that Of the three-strand barbed
wire, and the corner-posts must be Of
good size. and well braced.
Posts cut in the winter and allowed
to season till the summer before being
set will be more satisfactory, but this
plan is not always practicable.
We have used posts a rod apart on
our farm, but | have learned from ex-
perience that that is too far and now
[ am putting them IL feet apart.
Set the corner or end posts first,
then drive the others in line between
them by stretching a wire on the
ground. This wire must be stretched
tight; and in driving do not let the
post touch the wire, as 1t would push
II out Of line.
The work Of getting ready" is the
most important item in making thi:
kind Of fence. since a quarter of q

mile may be stretched and stapled by
two men after everything is in place
and the posts set.
Set corner posts at least three feet
in the ground, and brace to overcome
the direct tension of the wire as well
as the tendency to pull up.
Eight or ten feet from the corner
posts set the stray post, against which
the corner post is to be brcced. Cut
big square notch in this post a foot
from the ground, to receive the end Of
the brace, and a similar notch should
be cut in the corner post three feet
from the ground to receive the other
end.
This will throw large part OF the
strain on the stray post, but in order
to make this more effective, and over
come the tendency to pull upward on
the corner post, a double strand of
smooth No 10 wire is put around both
posts from the top of the stray post to
to the bottom of the corner post, or

stretch the wire a month later, after
the posts have settled, and the wealth.
er becomes warm.
There is considerable contraction
and expansion due to heat and cold,
so a fence stretched in midsummer is
more likely to remain tight. In
stretching the wire, always fasten the
stretcher to the end or corner post,
and not to some object beyond, just
because it is more convenient.
l have tried this and know that
unless the end posts receive the ten
sion when stretching, they will give as
soon as the stretcher is removed. A
stretcher with two levers, one at the
top and another at the bottom is the
best type, since on uneven ground the
wire may be stretched to conform to
the surface.
The most important thing in the
construction of fence is having posts
well set, for without this it is impos.
sible to stretch heavy woven wire.
Never try to stretch more than 40
rods at once, and If this is four-foot
wire it will require enormous tension
A part of the crimp should be
