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.
