Fencing Farm Lands
Takes Some KnOW-HOW

There are some tricks to the
trade when it comes to putting up
wire fences, reminds William Lar
sen agricultural engineer at the
University Of Delaware. Many
farmers erect fences with made
quate bracing and stretch and at
tach the wire improperly.
Strong, long lasting fences de-
pend on the following: posts that
will last 90 years or more: heavy.
good quality wire; properly locat-
ed and constructed braces: wire
stretched tightly and attached
with fast holding stables.
Durable woods such as cedar
and locust will last Is years and
longer. NOn-durable woods treat
ed with creosote, penta-chlorofen-
al or OsmOsis salts will last Is to
~ years. Brace post units should
be to inches in diameter at the
top and line posts 215 to 4 inches.
The wire should have a good
coating of zinc for protection
against rust suggests Larsen,
sAAee oI TOUR strands OF baFbed
wire are enough for cattle while
woven wire is needed for hogs and
sheep. An economical combination
for general purposes is a 80 inch
woven wire with 2 strands of
barbed wire to give a height of az
inches.
Larsen recommends the follow
ing steps for constructing wire
fences: put the wire on the live
stock side" of the posts. At the
beginning and end of each stretch.
the wire should extend around the
spot and be attached to the cor
responding wires. Stretch tightly
to pull out about half the tension
curves in the wire. Use IL inch
or the L-shaped strong hold sta
pies in treated woods. On line
posts between the brace units, sta
pies should be firm but not tight
on the wire When using woven
and barbed wire, be sure the first
strand Of barbed wire is not more
than 8 inches above the woven
wire.
