THE FENCE POST.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Millions of tons of barbed wire, plain
wire and woven wire fences, are hung
on posts and every year adds six to sew
EN- hundred thousand additional tons.
The depreciation caused by the rot
ting, breaking and burning of wooden
fence posts, is a tax which should be
eliminated. OF the woods available
for replacing the enormous number of
posts, more than half viii last only
two years at BEST when set in the
ground. Sycamore, Black Gum, Vel
low Poplar and Birch. are almost a
total loss in that time. Sweet Gum
Pin Oak, Maple and Pine, are nearly
as bad. Locust is little better and
Cedar, Beech, and Chestnut are per.
haps the best.
A cedar post in dry climate will
last eight or ten years. good red
cedar or "boa'darc" post will last
much longer.
Very few men know that the most
durable post is from tree cut al
maturity and before decay starts; on
that while the tree is full of sapwood,
the heartwood is soft. The best posts
are cut in the dead of the winter. They
should not be piled upon the ground
or where they are likely to become
wet.
The life of post may be heightened
If treated by coating with tar, dipping
In paint, injecting creosote, etc, but
at. best the wooden fence post is q
poor proposition.
About thirty years ago, start was
made to secure posts from some other
material, and iron and steel were put
to rigid test. Galvanized steel posts
have been In use about twenty years.
and as a rule are still doing duty
Many of them have been examined
and found to be in first-class condi
ton.
Serviceabfe posts may also be made
of concrete.

SECURE FENCE FABRIC
T. TO LINE POSTS


National Crop Improvement servicel
.--After the wire fabric of steel fence
has been stretched between the end
posts, the next process is to fasten
1t to the line posts.
II Is not necessary that all wires Of
the fence be fastened to support it.
A properly constructed fence post has
the staples manufactured as part of
the posts and they are so spaced that
standard fencing will fit them. Fasten
the top bar of the fence In the top
tongue of the post, drive the tongue
well backward over the wire, then fast
en- as many wires as convenient and
the fence will set all right. Three or
four at each post is enough. Do not
turn the tongues down over the wire
unless necessary, and then with the
claw of hammer carefully by de.
grees.

tongues tight about the wire because

STEEL FENCE FOR
POULTRY YARDS

National Crop Improvement servioe.l
Tn the poultry industry. cleanliness
is of first Importance. Wire which
Will stretch tightly on galvanized steel
posts is practically vermin proof and
protects the poultry yard from that
most annoying disease breeder, the old
wood post.
Poultry netting and poultry fencing
are two different things. Poultry net
ting as ordinarily known is made of
lightweight galvanized wire woven in
a hexagon pattern which must be fast
ened into wood frame, but there is
no way to stretch II tightly. On the
other hand properly constructed
poultry fence has the long bar wires
which stretch like harp and they are
so graduated from the bottom that it
is tight" against all sizes of chickens.
Chicken netting is generally mount
ed with a wooden board against the
ground and is always unsanitary. An
all-steel fence is the ideal equipment
for businesslike poultry farm.

PROTECTING STEEL WIRE
AGAINST BUSTING.

National Crop Improvement service.I
Fence wire is protected against the
elements by coating of zinc, which
when melted, will adhere to perfectly
clean untarnished steel.
AS the steel wire comes from the
annealing kettle of lead, it carries on
its surface fiecks of lead, and on each
exposure to air, the steel furnishes.
To correct this condition the wire is
run through muriatic acid which in
turn Is removed by flushing with wa
ter The wire is now perfectly clean
and Is rapidly dried by passing over
a hot plate and instantly plunged into
the kettle of molten zinc.
AS the wire energies from the kettle
there is more of the zinc adhering to
its sides and bottom than to the top,
and In order to make the coating uni
form, the wire is wiped by passing 1t
through two balls of soft asbestos
held In a frame. The wire is then
cooled by winding on reels and is
ready for use.
1t is very important that the coat
Ing OF the wires shall be uniform be-
callse If 1t Is too thin at any point.
tue life of the wire is In danger.

HOW MUCH FENCE TO THE AcREf

National Crop Improvement Service
If asked, Il man would say that no
matter what the shape of the acre,
the same amount of fencing would be
needed, but a moments reflection will
make 1t clear that the nearer a plot
is square, the less fence 1t will take.
for instance, one square acre is IL
rods, 10 feet and 0 inches on each side,
and will require so rods and 10 feet
of fence. If the acre Is 10 rods long
and 10 rods wide, it win take 81 rods.
If the acre is 8 rods wide and 20 rods
long, Ii win take So rods.
In figuring larger tracts, the num-
Der of acres does not matter, If you
have the dimensions of length and
width. 1t will take one mile of fence
to inclose 40 acres, If square, but 1t
only takes two miles to enclose plot
four times as large or 100 acres.
If the ground is uneven, 1t will take
just the same amount of fence posts
that ii would If the ground were level.
1t will take more fence wire, but If
you will remember your old lsoblem
in arithmetic. the number of posts on
side hill plot will be just the same
as on level plot because they stand
perpendicular.
Posts are generally placed one rod
apart.

HOW TO HANG A GATE

National Crop Improvement service.1
After digging the post holes, place
the posts In the center of the holes
and hang the gate on the hinge hooks.
Latch the gate and set the post and
the gate In correct position as they
should be to work properly after the
concrete is in.
To hold the gate and posts In posi-
tion,, use wooden braces on each side
and put a block under the latch end
OF the gate to hold 1t up. then stretch
a wire between the tops of the posts
to prevent spreading. Put a small
wedge in the latch so that it will work
easily, yet positively.
After the posts and gate are in no.

Fence building is greatly facilitated
If at the outset the fence line is prop
erly cleared of brush, stumps, rocks
and other distractions which. might in
terfere with the lineup of the posts
and stretching of the wire fabric. A
fence should be pig tight and hog
tight at the bottom and to make 1t so
all the hunpsNon the ground should be
leveled off in order that the bottom Of
the fence shall rest naturally and
snugy on the ground at the lowest
point.

view that the war being over it

his return from Europe the second

was that it had been proven scientif-

ROTATION BY MOVABLE FENCES

National Crop improvement Service.l
As every farm owes its future pros
perity to the growing Of live stock
and as crops must be rotated, some
system whereby a farm may. be di-
vided by cattle aud hog-tight fences,
must be adopted.
Oftentimes the nature of the crop
and the number of animals will be
out of proportion If the fences are
made absolutely permanent. There
fore it is good farm practice to move
your fence to fit the case.
A woven wire fence may be readily
detached from the posts and the posts
easily drawn by the use of a stump
miller or well-Dipe litter.

sition Just as you want them to re-
main, fill in the post holes with con-
crete being careful not to disturb the
position of the posts, then put in the
post braces and braceblocks and leave
alone until the concrete is thoroughly
hardened.
Another good way is to cut two

Not so, my iovial farnerl Drive the
staple in solidly so that it will hold

After stretching the line on stakes.
take crowbar In ordinary soil, and
make hole about ten or fifteen inches
