THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER
BUILDING WIRE FENCES.
Fifty Pe Cent of These In This Coun
try Are Improper ly Constructed.
[Prepared by United States department of
agriculture
The cost of fencing is a considerable
item on every farm In constructing
his fences there! ore it will pay the
farmer to see that the work is well
done and that the full benefit is obtain
ed from the labor and material em
ployed. It is no exaggeration to say
that 50 per cent of the wire fences in
use today are not properly constructed
The ends and corners are by far the
most important elements of a fence.
It is absolutely essential that they re
main firm and solid if the fence is to
be rigid. Points to be borne in mind
when setting wooden end or corner
posts are: First, the posts used should
be large enough to give sufficient
strength, second, they should be set
deep enough not to heave through the
action of frost, the end or corner post
being put into the ground to a depth
of four and a half feet and the brace
post four feet deep, and third, the
brace post should uot be set so close
to the end post and at such an abrupt
incline that there is a tendencv for it
to force the end post out of the ground
It is generally considered that the two
posts should be set about ten feet
apart, which would require a brace
twelve feet long The brace is usually
inserted in a mortise on the end post
twelve inches from the ground line
Where steel posts are used the in
structions furnished by the manufac
turers should be carefully followed
Concrete end and corner posts should
be made of a good grade of concrete
and thoroughly re enforced The re
enforcement, which may be done with
scrap iron such as wagon tires, axles,
etc, should be placed so that the
strain caused by the pull of the fence
will bear against it
The distance that line posts should
be set apart depends on the location
of the fence and the number and kinds
of stock to be turned In the field
fence the common piactice is to set
them approximately e^ery twenty feet,
around bam lots and pens, posts aie
set moie eloseh together Many faim
ers set posts one lod apart which is
a convenient auangement because it
supplies a quick method far measur
ing portions of the field checking up
the amount of woik accomplished each
lav. etc
In woven \\ii fencing the uecessan
tools are a nu in un stretchei a
single wne stiofchei tot use in at
tachinu the feme to the end posts a

foi stapling and istenin^ the fence
Before the wire is stietched tlie fence
row should be fiecd tiom obstructions
and ridges and uneven surfaces should
be smoothed off so that the fence will
be stiaight on the giound The win*
should be secmely fastened to one
of the end posts and then unreeled
After the wire is unrolled the stietch

chain to draw up the slack the un*
The stretching should be continued un
til the line wnes aie so taut that the\

The fence should then be secureh fas
