Figure 165shows a practicable method of drawing out fence posts by the aid of an ox team. A stout piece of timber with a large flat “foot” is placed under the chain to change the direction of the draft. Two men and a steady yoke of oxen can extract fence posts veryquickly and easily by this method. A good steady team of horses will do quite as well as oxen.
