Add from two to four inches to the last four, to allowfor sinking them in the ground. Besides these supports, cut two sticks aboutthree feet, eight inches long to fit in the hems in the bottom of front and ends of these are braced against the corner stakes and secured in the middlewith a forked stick, as shown. The best sticks may readily be found and cut inthe field. (71).
