farms fencing posts are sure to be re-
CURED, and splitting them out OF tree
trunks still demands skill as well as
energy, though the older post and rail-
fence, the atwood rabbit-proof fence,
and the "chopping block" log fence
still in vogue in heavily timbered dis
tricts required much more nice Ak
work than the post and wire fence
now generally erected.
