Wire fences are now made and highly
approved in Scotland. Five wires are
used with oak posts, costing l2a cents
per yard. The top wire is No. 8, and
the other No. 5. The ieuce is said to be
cheaper than one Of boards, or Of post and
rails. As iron wire is becoming cheap

no doubt il will be used extensively in
our Atlantic cities and states.
