The Value of Fencing Your Farms

The Value of Fencing Your Farms.
A we'll built, durable fence around
a farm, adds no less than $500 an acre
to your land from the point of appear
ance and it actually increases the
earning capacity Of your farm. Have
you ever stopped to think of that?
In the fall, after your crops are out
of the way, if you have your fields
fenced with good woven wire fence,
you can turn out your cattle, horses,
sheep or hogs, and they will clean up
dollars worth of grain that otherwise
would go to waste. Running stock on
your land increases it's fertility, de-
stroys the weeds and uses up the
waste products. 49,.
Fence the untitled land in Ward
county and hundreds of thousands of
head of stock could be grown or fitted
for market. It's little short Of crime
to let so much of our nutritious grass
go to waste. There is no argument
against. fencing your farm and many
in favor of it.
This is written for an ADVERTISE
ment, but the facts above stated are
none the less true. We have a COM
plete line Of woven wire fencing and
both cedar and iron posts. Rogers
Lumber Co., H. S. Johnson, Manager.
