LEVEL The FENCE LINE.

National Crop Improvement Service.I
Fence building is greatly facilitated
if at the outset the fence line is prop
erIy cleared of brush, Stumps. rocks
and ,other distractions which might in
terfere with the lineup Of the posts
and stretching of the wire fabric. A
fence should be pig tight and hog
tight at the bottom and to make 1t so
all the humps on the ground should be
leveled off in order that the bottom of
the fence shall rest naturally and
snugly on the ground at the lowest
point.

ROTATION BY MovAeLE FENcEs.

National Crop Improvement service.l
As every farm owes It's future pros
perlty to the growing of live stock
and as crops must be rotated. some
system whereby a farm may be d.
vided by cattle ard hog-tight fences,
must be adopted.
Oftentimes the uatEre of the ceop
and the number of animals win be
cut of proportion If the fences are
made absolutely permanent There
fore it Is good farm practice to move
rour fence to fit the case.
A woven wire fence may be readily
Rotached from the 7osis anc the posts
asly orawn By the use OF stump
