(Contributed by Ontario Department ot Agriculture, Toronto.) LESSED Is the farmer who, conscious In the security ol his fences, can leave home on a day's business, or retire to- rest at night, without anxiety as to possible depredation committed by straying cattle, or his own stock, to corn, roots, or grain, during his ab- sence or rest. Brush, stump, and stone fences â€" relics of bygone days â€" can still be seen here and there, but are rapidly disappearing, and are being replaced with modem up-to- date woven wire fences that are built, not with the Idea of the small- est possible Initial cost, but with- forethought for the future, remem- bering that quality and material as well as the design and constructloa of post fences are elements that de- termine Its life and service. The prime factors in a fence are fair cost, durability and service. Tho annual up-keep ot fences is consider- able, and to the farmer a material that will do away with the expense of repairing, replacing, painting, or other form of maintenance, should strongly appeal to him as represent- ing true economy, almost regardles* of first cost. The opportunity for economy is found, first, in using the kind of posts which, taking into ac- count both cost and durability are cheapest in the long run. In setting a post which will have comparative- ly short life, be loses not only- through having to buy new posts, but also because of the additional labor involved in removing the old and set- ting the new one. There is, how- ever, great difference in the lasting properties of different woods. The average lifS of a fence constructed of wood posts cannot be safely fig- ured as greater than 8 or 9 years. For length of service cedar and! white oak outlast all other woods. By treating the posts with creosote-, coal tar or charing them, the cost of tip-keep might be materially lessened. That the end or corner posts bear all the strain, and arc the founda- tion of the fence, is common knowl- edge to every experienced fence builder. They must, be well anchor- ed, rigid and strong, and so con- structed that they can be depended upon to give proper service at all times, and under all conditions. The foundation carries the strain and must, therefore, be absolutely solid and permanent, so as not to permit the fence to sag. The setting of wood posts in ce- ment as commonly practiced is not conducive to the longevity of the post, because a water-tight union between the post and the concrete i» not secured, and ultimately decay se.ts in. By far the most effective way is shown In diagram (Fig. 1). The post is first notched as shown In sketch, and the concrete worked well into the notch. This sheds the water trickling down the post, and cannot possibly get between the post and concrete, and the life of the post is considerably lengthened. A post concreted in this way, and kept painted, is practically immune from decay. However, every locality differs In the material used for fence posts â€" wood, steel and cement are all used. The supply of farm timber available, or the prices and condition of the local market for the other commodi- ties determines largely the fence- post used. One of the most Import- ant factor in the construction of steel posts Is the anchorage. The end and . corner posts and their braces should be set In concrete whenever possible^ as In that way best results and maxi- mum efficiency and service will be secured (Fig. 2). A steel post cannot possibly give complete satisfactioi^ no matter how lasting the material itself may be, II it is not str-ong enough to withstand the use to which the average fence is subjected. It must be capable of resisting and sustaining shocks wltb- oUt bending or breaking. Concrete fence posts properly le* enforced and made from suitable ma« terlals, carefully selected and pro- portioned, should last indefinitely, and aire, therefore, a good invest- ment. Considerable variety of sur- face finish and ornament, limited only by the skill of the indlvl'duak worker, can be given te the concrete corner, gate, and line posts (Fig. 3.> Large heavy wires'not lighter than .. No. 9 in woven wire fence are much more durable than finer wire, and a lasting improveiuent for the farm. Ulnged joints in the stays make the uosi substantial uulou, so that un- der pressure, the stays forced ouC ot alignment will spring back when re- leased. Triple tension curves In the wire fabric will not be pulled out by the stretching process, and will allow tor sufficient contraction and expan- sion. Sound and rigid posts and pro- per stretching of woven wire feaoe are the first considerations in fence building. P.egardless of the type of posts, or the height or make of a wire, the farm which is fenced stock-tight ia a valuable and money making farm In any section of the country. â€" Prof. John Evans, O. A.
