To LAY A FENCE WoRM.-To lay
fence worm with FIVE feet crook Drive
two stakes into the ground, about ten feet
apart, on the line intended for the fence
row. Measure off two aud half feet on
another stake and mark with notch.
Keep this stake in the hand; then, walk
ing back wards, place it uprigh. in line
with the other two. Lay it down, square
eT to The right hand, and the notch marks
the place for the first corner. Having
placed two rails to form this corner, again
walk backwards, sight as before and lay
down on the left side, and move the near
end nf the rail 10 the notch, which indi-
Gates always the corner Or lap. Thus, the
corners, formed alternately ou different
sides of the line, and always two and q
half feet from it, are all straight. The
fence has a uniform crook and makes the
most mechanical fence possible, in the
usual zig gag style.
This rule is easy and will give your
fence a neat, straight and uniform appear

eighteen inches IN thickness, together with
iron bars, were cut away, showing that con-
siderable time must have been consumed in
their operations. and that visitors TO the Jail
must have furnished tools with which such
work was accomplished. The first intimation
