Wire Fenccs Along Our Highways.

Complaints arc continually reaching
us Of tritcd and impossible roads
throughout our State. Not ouly are
the railroads great sufferers, but near
ly every wagon road is more or less a
subject of fault finding. The cause Of
this is in the fences which line them.
Where the wind has such long strech-
es of country to blow over as here,
without obstruction, board fence is
just the thing to break its force aud if
there be snow in the air, to catch and
deposit it in drifts directly in the high
way. The result is, that many Of our
roads are worse than useless in the
winter time time, aud travelling has to
be done outside, on the prairie, or not
all. And here lies another troubles.
1t is unsafe, as many man in Mimi
esota and elsewhere in the West can
testify, to travel at night on the prairie
especially if storm should be in pro-
gress. Hundreds of lives, in years
gone by, have been thus sacrificed on
these broad, western plains in this man.
ner, and many more will be, until the
country becnmcs fully settled.
The remedy lies in building such
fences by the roadside as will offer but
little obstruction to the wind, and
there is nothing better than wire.
This is less costly than posts or boards,
more easily built, and if taken care of
and properly put up, more durable.
We are glad to note that the Dako.
to Council Patrons Of Husbandry have
taken the matter in hand by passiny
a resolution requesting all farmers er-
ectipg fences along the highway to
build them of wire. The Legislature
ought to take hold of the matter, fol
snow drifts are no trifling thing in this
country, where snow covers the ground
six months of the year. -Frrnsers
