Chicken-Proof Garden Fence

Mr.. Ep1roR:-I am lover of Chickens,
and we raise large number every year.
But am also fond of having good garden.
To secure both. however, | have found it
heretofore a difficult matter. But | have
lately constructed a fence around my garden
that presents such perfect barrier against
chickens. dogs and rabbits. that am induc.
ed 20 send you a description of it for the
benefit of those thousands of families IN the
Yves, and South who take your paper. My
fence is made of boards sixteen feet long,
nailed to stout posts. The boards next TO
the Ground | had sawed ten inches wide;
and the two upper boards six inches. Com
sequenty each pannel was composed of five
boards. the edge of the lower board resting
on the ground. The space over the lower
plank was left one and half inches wide:
over the second board three inches; and over
the fourth board. five inches. now took a
plank of one inch thickness and sawed out
strips one inch wide and one foot long
These strips were nailed against the sides of
The fence-where the tops of the posts were,
eieh, feet apart and in such a way that the
strips projected six inches above the fence.
THROUGH each one of these, near the top,
bored small gimlet hole. A quantity of
wire, the size of a large knitting needle, and
sufficient to reach once around my acre
garden, had previously been purchased in
Cincinnati, costing me eighteen cents. This
was now taken and run through. the gimlet
holes, and stretched as tight rs it could be.
The ends of the wire were fastened in such
a way as to cause ringing whenever any,
thing should come against it.
After fully completing my fence, | stood
back to see what the fowls would do under
the circumstances. | did not wait long
before drove of them came up and tried to
get in But it was mo 90" They could
not light on the top plank, for the wire
would strike them on the breast. Thus they
would hang with their necks over the wire
and hutter, which would cause ringing
noise and frighten 'hom so, that after one
or two attempts, they were ready to give it
up as "bad job" 1t was not long before
my dog made a trial. He, too, could not
get in. Indeed, it proves perfect barrier
against dogs, chickens and rabbits 1t works
