A Practical Farm Fence.
past few MONTHS, and for the last ten
years for that matter, there has been

built of plain wire, used in the sam|,

Such statements are misleading and
untrue in these three particulars: a
fence made Of smooth wire and boards,
say one or two boards and four Or five
| wires, or a dozen wires either, is not a
safe one for the crop, because it is not
Cffectual as a barrier to stock, and
| therefore cannot be considered ecOnOm-
ical.
About twelve years ago I built nearly
one-half a mile of such fence, placing
the posts seven and eight feet apart to
accommodate fourteen and sixteen feet

a board, then three wires, another
board and one wire at the bottom. Let

the grass and crops got high enough to
be tempting, and although the wire was
strained to the utmost limit, and was
heavy wire, too, those colts soon had
a number of sagging places in the fence
and as the wire would slide through
the staples that wire might just as we'll
have been off as on.
Pretty soon one Of the docile Jerseys
learned that there were no barbS on
that wire, and she soon learned how to
strain the wires enough to admit her.

as being practical to general farm
fencing, and never knew any one who
tried it but felt like cutting the individ-

sympathy.
