THAT GOOD OLD RAIL FENCE.
Ancient and Honorable and conveni-
ent Institution That Held Hon
ored Place on the Farm.

Among the once necessaries of farm
life that reflected prodigality in the
use Of valuable timber was the old
rail fence, observes the Columbus Dis
patch. Like many other almost by
cones of rural life. its place in farm
wastefulness now is well established.
and yet it had it's uses for which the
present straight line wire fencing can
not qualify.
The old rail fences serrated
stretches were the homes Of small ami
NAL life that now are rapidly disap-
pearing. Around its timbefs there grew
the uncultivated blackberry, with it's
sister, the raspberry, and among it's
recesses there thrived the elder whose
fruit once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the founda-
ton for elderberry wine that matrons
served of a winter evening when the
neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with its invariable
underground, was the favorite protec-
ton for Bob White in winter, and

busily engaged in gathering his store
of food for the snow time.
To the harvest hand it afforded pro-

a brief respite and its corners formed
shaded hooks under which the water
jug might be kept.
And from what royal timber was
this old fence constructed! Black
walnut logs. chestnut logs and the
smooth lengths of the ash tree were
cleft by numerous rail splitters for
the "seven high" fence that stood the
storms of decades. There was many
