A good job to attend to between the busy seasons is the building and re- oairing of fences. A farm fence should combine the two qualities of service | and economy. To give satisfactory | service it must be constructed so as to turn all kinds of stock without in- jury to them. To be economical it nust be built as cheaply as is consis- tent with durability. The fence that I's erected at a low initial cost is not necessarily economical, for it may be | short lived. Wire fences are very generally re- placing those of stone, wood, and hedge wherever the latter are becom- | 'ng unserviceable. In selecting a wov- sn-wire fence, it is preferable to eco- | | nomize by eliminating unnecessary | wires rather than by using a lighter | weight wire. In pastures where only *attle or horses are to be kept there | Is no need of providing a fence the spacing in which is close enough to turn hogs. Weight Determines Cost. The factor which determines the price of woven wire fencing is its | weight, so that in fences of the same paratively few wires costs less than a narrow spaced one with more wires. On the other hand, it is becoming gen- erally recognized that the use of heavy | wire in fencing is economical. The initial cost of the heavy wire is great- er, but its durabllity is more than sufli- cient to offset this disadvantage. The | labor and other costs in the construc- | tlon of a fence are practically the same whether a heavy or a light grade of wire is used, but with heavy wire the fence lasts so much longer that | this cost of construction is distributed ! over a much longer time. That this is appreciated by a majority of farmers | is indicated by the increase in the percentage of heavy wire that is being sold for fencing purposes. [ Common Type of Fence. For the general farm on which all kinds of stock are kept, and on which the rotations practiced call for tempo- ‘ary pastures, the common type of fence now being adopted in the north cenfral states is one which has ap- proximately ten line wires and a tota! height of about four feet. The bottom wires are spaced about three inches Such a fence constructed from No. 9 wire with a strand of barbed » on the top, Osage orange, locust, apart. all rod cedar, steel, or cement line post: sci a rod apart, and ends and braces | of the same materials as for the linc posts at distances of 40 rods, is now being built on many farms and is proving serviceable and economical usefulness is when its long period of | Bunch of Finished Feeders. | { considered.
