Cutting Fence Posts

There is no set time best suited to the cutting of fence posts. Fence post cutting is a job to be taken care of on the farm whenever labor is available and during slack seasons of the year. Many experiments have proven that the light and dark of the moon have no effect on the fence posts. It is better to cut some kinds of timber so that the posts will season gradually, and will not become checked, says a writer in the Indiana Farmer’s Guide.
