The development of fencing, from the stone walls of New Eng land and the snake fence of Vir ginia, through all the heart-break ing experiences of farmers with barbed wire and fence building machines, has been such a slow process, that many farmers began to lose faith in the perfection of a good wire fence, until the Ameri can Field and Hog Fence appear ed. This highly satisfactory fence has been improved and now is so perfect that all fencing shipped from the factories of the makers is guaranteed. It is made of heavy Bessemer steel wire. This wire is heavily galvanized and is then woven* in a costly machine of such delicate adjust ment , and the weav ing is done with such exactness that when the fence is subjected to a strain of ten or fifteen tons, every wire receives exactly the same amount "of strain as every other wire in proportion to its breaking strain. The American fencing is delivered in rolls all ready to stretch and staple to the ! posts. In comes in heights from ;20 inches to 58 inches. It is so ! quickly adjusted that three men can put up a mile of it in a day after the posts are set. A Luncheon.
