Improvement i'm Fences.


This invention relates to light, port

ed where desired without the labor
Of digging postholes, at the same time
it forms firm fena2, and cannot be
lifted or disconnected by swine to get
under, but is quickly and easily separ-

This fence is constructed in lengths
or panels, as light as consistent with
strength, consisting Of two posts A
and B Gig. - of unequal length, con-
nected by a suitable number of rails
preferably five) with brace about the
midlength Of each panel The post A
at one end of each panel is only of SUI

rails, but the other, B, is longer, leaving
foot to support the panel above the
ground of such length as may be neces-
sary. The top, bottom and center
rails, more or less, Of each panel, ex-
tend at each end beyond the posts,

width. The panels are connected by en-
gaging the gains of one panel in the

shown, and are set upon the ground in
a zigzag form, so that each panel serves
as a brace for those adjacent.

Bad Lands afford the finest grazing

ally feed on the prairie, as they
dig through the snow without any
trouble. During stormy weather
some of the stock is fed. but this is

sheep are shipped from Montana and
