RAILS AND WIRE FENCING.
Old Style Fencing Giving Way Slowly
But Surely to the More Mod
ern Method.

Much of the old rail fence is still
in use in many sections. Though not
so neat and attractive as the wire or
board fence, 1t has some points of ad.
vantage over other kinds. The rail
fence can be easily opened to pass
through from field to field with binder
or other machinery. Also rails make
handy cross fences or hog lot fences,
being easily taken down and put up
again, so as to change size of, or
subdivide lots or fields. About the
first rails made were split out of
white oak and many of these, after
40 or 80 years use. are yet sound. The
same may be said of chestnut rails.
but those made of black oak are not
so lasting. Stock, especially horses,
are seldom hurt by rail fences, yet
many are ruined or blemished for life
by barbed wire cuts.
The barbed or woven wire fence is
a necessity in places where little other
material Is to be had, and eventually,
when the wooden tances have all rot
ted down. we must Use the wire, which
is neat, looks well, takes up little room
and fewer posts than the rail fence. 1t
will stand up longer and better against
wind and proves an effective barrier
to passage of farm stock or some wild
animals.
AS fast as needed supplant rails with
woven wire about 81 inches high of
nine strands. Two inches above 1t
stretch barbed wire. This will turn
horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, but
another wire eight inches higher
makes 1t safer for horses or unruly
stock, says the Farm and Home. Posts
should be placed about eight feet apart
and alternate ones need only reach to
top of woven wire, and these might be
Of old rails cut five feet long. Long
posts should be of heavy white oak
and six and one-half to seven feet
long, inserted two to two and one-half
feet in ground. Stretch all wires tight
ly and anchor end or corner posts we'll
with heavy braces. Such a fence with
two barbed wires will be about 4S
inches high and cost for wire and posts
from 30 to 35 cents per rod.
