GOOD HINTS ABOUT FENCING
OF Importance to Note Shape CT Fields
Because u Has Much 70 DO With
Material Needed.

When building fences note the
shape Of the fields. because it has
much to do with the amount OF fencing
and material required to inclose or re-
construct IT.
Thus. A square ten-acre Geld is 20
rods each way. and will therefore need
half a mile OF fencing.
A ten-acre field four times as long
as wide is s0120 rods. and will conse-
quentIy require zoo rods Of fence. or
30 rods more than before; so that a
square field needs less fencing than an
oblong one OF the same size. This Is
a point not often thought Of by a good
many.
