and 6X6 meSneS winch is audpUeu lOT
all live stock purposes. This fence
is very strong and durable, its wear
ing qualities being almost unlimited.
A feature of this fence is the blunt
edged picket which extends an inch
above the top and below the bottom,
serving the same purpose as the barb
wire, but eliminating the dangerous
objections to this much used old style.
Another fence which will doubtless
prove popular among Northwestern
farmers is the combined hog and stock
fence which has special a3X6 mesh,
small enough to confine hogs in field,
and yet not too expensive for the
more extensive fields where larger
stock may be confined. Both a spe-
cial hog and a special poultry fence
are also offered which have qualities
that recommend themselves to the ex-
perienced farmer. The hog fence is
made with 3x6 meshes and the poultry
fence in 2x6 and 3X6 meshes. Fence
of any mesh desired may be secured
on order, the modern machinery of the
companys new factory in Seattle be-
ing adapted to the manufacture of all
styles of farm and lawn fences.
Strength, durability and efficiency
are assured in this fence owing to its
ingenious construction. The fence is
of entirely galvanized wire construc-
tion and the pickets are locked right
and left, the horizontal strands loop
ing around the crimped picket in such
way as to make it absolutely fast
and impossible of slipping. The
crimped picket which is also of heav-
Ter wire gives a hold to the horizontal
strands which makes these rigid and
firm and prevents slipping up or down.
This makes a fencing which is suffi-
cient in strength to sustain great
weight or strain from the top or the
side, or in any direction on the meshes.
A man of 200 pounds weight can climb
over the fence, stepping on every hori-
ZOntal strand without even bending or
changing the shape of any one OF the
meshes The strong horizontal strands
the heavy, crimped pickets and the alb
solute locking of the whole at every
point of contact makes fence which
can resist a force many times as ire
mendous as a farm fence is ever sub
mitted to.
Tho fence is so constructed that
sagging is impossible, the weaving OF
the whole fabric making it strong and
firm. Owing to it's construction, it may
also be set up on any grade or over
the toughest ground without spelling
the efficiency of the meshes or lessen
ing the general efficiency.
This is a fence for which the farm
ers of the Northwest have long been
looking. The manufacturers inform
us that it can be marketed to the farm
er at a price which will make possible
it's use in the fencing of the largest
farms. and make it's use even over
cheaper and less efficient fences, an
actual economy.
This company in an advertisement
on the back page of this issue shows
two designs of it's popular fence. In
the picture at the top of the page it
shows a lawn fence, handsome in de-
sign durable and easy and cheap to
maintain. At the bottom of the page
it shows a hog proof, chicken proof
fence. This fence is strong enough to
withstand any efforts the cattle shown
in the background may make to break
out of the pasture, and in the manner
of it's weaving with the small meshes
at the bottom of the fence it will also
enclose chickens, hogs, or smaller farm
stock
This company also offers many
splendid designs in lawn fences, which
have strength and beauty and can be
placed around any town or village
lawn with economy. Both the farm
and town fences can be had in differ
ont decions heiphts and DriceS and
we would advise those who are inter
ested in the subject to communicate
