An essential feature of a rail fence
Is a comparatively short panel, but
now that wire is, in the majority of
cases, taking the place of the rail, it
is questionable whether as many posts
are necessary a- was the ease when
rail were used. Recent tests were made
at an English experiment station to de
termine upon the best method of con
structing a fence. One point considered
was whether a fence constructed with
a dropper is as efficient and durable
as one ronstrueted entirely with posts.
A second point under consideration was
the minimum number of post3 required
in the construction of an efficient and
durable fence when droppers are used
and the character of the dropper re
quired for best results. The dropper is
a thin vertical brace used to strengthen
the stretch of wire between posts. As
metal is admittedly more durable than
wood, an endeavor was made to obtain
a suitable rigid metal dropper, but with
out success.

NOTCH THE CORNER POSTS tOVT.
An error tha- farmers sometimes
mate in erecting a fence is that they
place the corner supports or struts too
near the top of the pas;, and conse
quently at too great ar..ancle with the
lin of the fence so that when the wires
are streti hed tigr.tiy the pos' is pulied
out of the ground, notwithstanding
that huge bowlders are piled against
the pot or hur.g on it. in an endeavor
to keep it m tne ground. One fence
which has beer, found to prove very
satisfactory consists of square posts
and top rail. wi"u three or four rows
of piair. wire fastened on the outside
edge- of tne pos'. instead of through
hoie bored in the uprights. To thse
wires is fastened ordinary poultry net
ting with. say. an inch and a-haif or
two-inch menh. This netting may be
strained very tight and will lie as fiat
as a board the appearance of the fence
lieing thereby greatly improved.
While the use of hardwire in the
-onstruetioc of fences is regretted, ow
