They are contiuually gettlug out of repair, and uulew looked after they get Into bad order and en- tice the live stock to cross thew. Tbe matter of faro fences has already gone through cuwtlderable evolution in the tart feu yeare. Very seldom does one ever see the old rail fence, com- monly termed the "worm fence." The rail fence le fast becoming obsolete, even In the timber districts. They never were a thing of beauty, but their construction lent a quaintness t0 many homesteads. Another fence that is passing rapidly 1. the hedgerow. A hedge fence when properly cared for he one of the beautifying acquisition. of a well kept farm. When It la h, properly trimmed and cared for it is an eyesore. Hedge has grown unpop- ular on account of the Targe *mount of work required to keep 11 1n proper con- dition and also on account of Its draw- ing the soil fertility from the ground for a considerable dlgtafp w p3-anti4. llar bed wire is also another thing that Is meeting with dlafaror with the most progressive farmers. It 1s a very cheap and durable truce, but if It la not kept iia perfect condftlot It is the most dangerous thing about the feral, especially where live stock le kept. On a great many fames barbed wire fences have cost the owuer many times more thou what It cost to construe: them in the damage doue to live etoek. Many a valuable colt or borne has been rendered practically worthless by It. The damage doue to cattle has not been au great, but there fete Instances where really valuable dairy cows have had their udders practically ruined by bare •d wire. 1 • coming feuce-lu fact, It is al - res ' here -is the woven wire.

A little atter ,on paid to them once to awhile is all that Is neeemsary to keep them In first class order. 'The beet way to maintain a woven wire fence Is to have a barbed wire stretched on tott the posts.
