EFFECTS OF SULPHUR UPON IRON FENCING. 1 fi 7 



process renders staving unnecessary at first, and, I believe, ever 

 afterwards ; but, if needed, a little driving home of the wedge 

 will fix it. 



I would suggest that all fences erected with sulphur be imme- 

 diately examined, and the substance extracted, particularly from 

 any ornamental or costly fence, as it will ultimately become use- 

 less, and only sell at the price of old iron or metal. This subject 

 concerns proprietor and tenant alike ; and if no antidote can be 

 found to prevent corrosion, the use of sulphur must be discon- 

 tinued, as the iron pillars, straining posts, standards, etc., will not 

 serve for erecting a new fence of the same height.
