In the summer time when the
thunder caps appear in the sky and
the storm sweeps down on the farm,
the farmer thinks less of his safety
than he does of his live stock.
When the stock is in the field dur-
ing the storm It inay happen that the
animals drift against the wire fence,
which may be heavily charged with
electricity, and are ehocked to death.
The ordinary fence built on
wooden posts should be grounded
every sixth post by means of a wire
six or eight feet long twisted around
all of the line wires of the fence and
then secured in a hole in the ground.
The hole should be dug deep enough
so that the wire comes in contact
with moist earth. A fence so ground-
ed offers no danger to live stock dur-
ing the thunderstorm.
The wire fence built on galvanized
steel fence posts is already grounded'
at every post and no thunderstorm
with its discharge' of lightning can
injure the cattle enclosed by such a
fence.

realism, that the true beauties and full
benefits of good music could be enjoyed
and utilized in every home in the land.`
