placing the board above OF below
the top wire left to the owners of
such fences.
Mr.. Peery was Of the opinion thai
the board should be placed below
the top wire, but wished the matter
left at the option of the fence build
ers.
Mr.. Preston thought that the
rail should be placed as high as pos
sible, but concurred with Mr.. Peery.
Mr.. Partridge moved to strike out
the words "above the top wire" so
as to leave the matter in the discre-
tion of the builder Of the fence.
Mr.. FAIR stated the harm was
done emily in such cases where cattle
did not see the wire, hence board
or pole should be placed too high
for them to attempt to jump, and in
such position that could be seen. In
the speakers estimation such fence
should be termed a barbarous fence.
Mr.. cartridges motion prevailed.

a minor Importance.
