To stretch a wire, back the wagon
up to within few feet of the corner
post so that the inside of the wheel
is in line with the fence. Raise that

a board. Then take 2x4 about seven
feet long, and place. one end against
the axle and the other on the ground,
says the Iowa Homestead. After this
is done tie a strong rope to one spoke
