You can cut your fencing
costs almost in half by using
suspension fences.
A suspension type fence is
one that is anchored securely
on each end with large posts,
braces and a "deadman".
Line posts are spaced from
80 to 120 feel apart. They can
be cedar, pressure treated
pine or steel. The posts should
be set in the soil at least two
feet deep.
Wooden posts should be a
minimum of six feet long with
a four inch top. A longer and
bigger post would be more
satisfactory especially in sandy
soils where the posts must be
set deeper. Steel posts are
more expensive, but they can
be set in the ground faster.
The suspension fence usual-
ly consists of four to six
strands and half-gauge barbed
wire. Each strand of wire is
stretched taut so there is not
over a three inch sag between
posts. The wire strands are
separated with spiral wire
stays placed about 16 feet
apart.
Do not let the lower ends
of the stays touch the ground,
since this defeats the purpose

of the suspension. The wire
stays are 36, 42 or 48 inches
long depending on the height
of the top wire.
Building a mile of suspen-
sion fence with wooden posts,
and with stays placed 16 feet
apart, costs about $350. A
standard fence with line posts
at 20-foot spacings would cost
$600 per mile to build.
The suspension fence sways
back and forth in the wind and
particularly when animals run
into it. The swaying motion
beats animals away from the
fence and there is little chance
of cattle becoming mixed be-
tween pastures.
There is less fence repair
when herd bulls in adjoining
par' 'res run over fences dur-
ing fights, as the fence will
spring back to its normal posi-
tion. The swinging motion does
a lot to discourage fighting
through the fence.
If you are interested in
building a suspension fence on
your farm or ranch, we'll be
glad to send you a leaflet, giv-
ing the details.

About 157 million tons of
feed grains (corn, oats, barley
and sorghum) will be produced
in 1965. This is 20 million tons
or 15 per cent more than in
1964 and 8 million tons above
the 1959-63 average.
If this estimate is correct,
the 1965 crop will set a new
record.
