SETTING GALVANIZED STEEL
CORNER AND END POSTS

Be certain that the bottom of the
post hole is larger than the top OF
the hole, which will keep the concrete
block from pulling out.
Steel end posts should be provided
with brace ROD. Without disturbing
the concrete about the end post, slip
the brace over the brace connection,
rest the end of the brace on the ground
and make mark two or three inches
nearer the post than the end of the
brace. This mark will be the end of
the brace block hole next the post.
Dig another hole Is by 20 inches deep
or little bigger and little deeper a
the ground is soft and yielding. This
Is important because this brace block
must be made solid to withstand the
heavy pressure, as it carries practical
ly all the strain.
After digging this hole, fill it with
concrete, level with the surface of the
ground, attach the brace to the post
connection, attach the brace foot, and
press down in the concrete until it Is
buried two or three inches below the
then let it alone until thor
oughly set.
The brace collar should be placed
about II inches from the top of the
post and the nut turned up very tight.
The collar must not slip. Do not be-
gin stretching your fence wire until
he concrete is perfectly set and hard.

STRETCHING FENCE
ON STEEL POSTS

National Crop Imp 5Eement Service.l
DO not attempt to stretch fence IN
til the concrete about the ends and
corners is thoroughly set. First I'M
rel the fence on the ground with the
bottom bar next to the posts. Trim
the stay wires from the ends of the
fabric. Fasten the bars of the fence
to the end post, then go to the other
end post and pull as much as possible
of the slack out of the fence that is
lying on the ground. Put in the wood
en- dummy post or s feet back of
the steel end post at the further end
and then insert a good heavy wooden
brace, letting one end rest on the brace
collar Of the steel brace. Attach the
stretcher bar to the fence so that when
the stretching is done, the stretcher
bar will be four Or five feet from the
end of the steel end post Attach
the stretcher chain to the dummy post,
working the stretcher head between
the dummy post and the steel post.
While stretching, lift the fence off
the ground occasionally to relieve the
friction and let the fence distribute
itself evenly. When the fence is
stretched tight, the fabric is now up
right. Trim out the stay wires SO
that the ends of the fence may be
wrapped about the posts to make a
neat job. Draw the line wires of the
fence with an end tool which is made
for this purpose, around the end posts,
twisting the ends back about the same
strand, which is The best way to fasten
IT.

Corner posts under normal condi-

are 20 by 20 inches, and not less than
three feet deep.
Posts should not extend above the
top wire of the fence more than two
inches. After digging the hole for the
end post, make mark on the post to
show how far the posts should be set

TUBULAR STEEL FENCE POSTS.

There are two classes of steel posts:
Those made from old railroad rail

angles, channels, tees and tubes. The
tubular post has many advantages in
that it is strong on account of it's

Refers to Quotations.

The letter called attention to the
fact that f. o. b. quotations of Wilson

loins were 32A cents August 9, "a II
cents August %, 33a4 cents September
s. 32A cents September 20, 33A cents
September 81 and 31A cents october

pounds averaged about cents lower
during the same period; prices OF 2
to IA pound loins were another cents
lower; IA to 16 pound loins were from
about a cent to about cents lower
yet, and 16 to 20 pound loins another
cent to cents lower.
1t may be stated that during the
period when light loins were going to
the retailers at somewhere between
34k and 31A cents a pound. the con-
sumner was paying from 4S to So cents
a pound for chops and roasts cut
from these loins.
In his letter Mr.. Wilson stated that
the Washington branch of Wilson &
Co. made a profit of S221.3S in Au-
gust and S77.70 in September.

price of live hogs in the Chicago mar
ket had dropped slightly more than

In his reply the president of the
packing company stated:

Loins But Small Part of Hog.

Loins represent only about 10 per

Wilson said in his letter. adding that
therefore it could heartily be expected
that pork loins would keep pace with
