BAD BLOOD
You are pale, thin, weak—with little
-vitality. Your liver is sluggish 'and the
bad blood causes your stomach muscles
to lose their elasticity and become flab-
by and weak—then indigestion.
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-
covery, made from wild roots and barks,
and free from alcohol or narcotics, is
the great and powerful blood purifier of
to -day. Ingredients printed on wrapper.
'This tonic, in liquid or tablet form, is
just what you need "to give you vim,
vigor and vitality.
Take it as directed and it will search
out impure and poisonous matter
throughout the system and eliminate it
through the natural channels.
You can procure a ,trial package by
sending 10 cents to Dr. Pierce's Invalids'

ly short life, be loses not only
through having to huy new poste ail
also because of the additional Inter
involved in removing the old and ,'•'
ting the new one. There is, how.
ever, great difference in the lasting
properties of different woods. Thr
average life of a fence constrn••ted
of wood posts canuot be safely tig
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 up -keep might be materially
lessened.
That the end or corner posts bear
all the strain, and are 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 is
not secured, and ultimately decay
sets 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—
wood, steel and cement are all used.
The supply of faun 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 satisfaction, no matter bow
lasting the material itself may be r
it is not strong enough to withstand
the use to which the average fence
is subjected. It must be capable of
resisting and sustaining shocks with-
out bending or breaking.
Concrete fence posts properly re -
enforced and made..from suitable ma-
terials, carefully :selected and pro-
portioned, should last indefinitely,
and are, therefore, a good invest-
ment. Considerable variety of sur-
face finish and ornament, limited
only by the skill of the individual
worker, can be given to 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 improvement for the farm.
Hinged joints in the stays make the
most substantial union, so that un-
der pressure, the stays forced out of
alignment will spring back when 're-
teased, Triple tension curves in the
-.wire fabric will not be pulled out by.
the stretching process, and will allow
for sufficient contraction and expan-
sion. Sound and rigid posts and pro-
per stretching of woven wire fence
are the first considerations in fence
building. Regardless of the type of
posts, or the height or make ofa
wire, the farm which is fenced
stock -tight is a valuable and money
making farts in any section of the.
