BRACING CORNER POSTS. How It Can Be Effectively Done at Small Cost. This method, while cheaply devised, is used very effectively in bracing corner posts. Use as a brace a pole nine or ten feet long, four or five Inches i in diameter and square at both ends. Fit one end of pole. to the. post half way between its middle and top and place other end of brace on a flat stbne. Secure one end of a wire around bottom of post, then takeit to

outer end of brace and back to post again, fastening securely. With a short stout stick twist wires together until very tight and your brace is complete, gays Farmers’ Review. This brace comes in line with your fence and by fastening your wire or boards to it prevents it from slipping sideways.

Way Bracing Is Done.
