THAT GOOD oLD RAIL FENCE
Ancient and Honorable and Convent.
ent Institution That Held Hon
ored Place on the Farm.

Among the once necessarles Of farm
llfe that reflected prodigality IN ~,
use Of valuable timber was the old
rail fence, observes the Columbus Dis
patch. Like many other almost by.
cones Of rural life, It's place IN farm
waslefulness now Is well established
and yet It had its uses for which the
present straight line wire fencing can
1t qualify.
The old rail fences serrated
stretches were the homes Of sIgAll ami
NAL life that now are rapidly disap-
pearing. Around its timbers there grew
The @cultiyated blackberry with It's
sister, the raspberry, and among its
recesses there thrlved the elder whose
fruit once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the f0unda-
ton for elderberry wine that matrons
served Of a winter evening when the
neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with its invarlable
undergrowth, was the favorite protec-
tion for Bob White In winter, and
from It's top he sang in the warmer
seasons. Beneath, the little ground
squirrel burrowed. From safe re-
treat he chattered if some intruder
came near to annoy him as he was
btosily engaged In gathering his store
Of food for the snow time
To the harvest hand 1t afforded pro-
lection at the end Of the long row for
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
lengths Of the ash tree were
cleft by numerous rail spltters for
the "seven high" fence that stood the
storms of decades. There was many
a black walnut rail whose timber
would make the manufacturer of gun
stocks chortle with satisfaction had
ne such present supply of wood at
his command.
