Pasfe I>ever Meeds It. 



Gentlemen: — When driving lately, I 

 have noticed a neighbor repairing his 

 fences. One day he was working on one 

 made of ribbon wire with plank at top. At 

 another time on one made of barb and 

 plank at top. 1 stopt and askt him if he 

 bad repaired that fence, pointing to about 

 80 rods of Page that had been up four years 

 or more. He said. •• What fence, the Page ?" 

 I said "yes." He replied. "No, indeed! 

 that never needs any, and I only wish my 

 landlord would put it all over the farm, as 

 it would save me much work that I have to 

 do every spring." I told him I was glad I 

 did not have any fence repairing, as my 

 whole farm was enclosed, and fields divided 

 with Page, and as I used nothing but red 

 cedar and locust for posts, think it will be 

 a long while before they will need replac- 

 ing. I have no trouble to find my stock 

 when turned out, as they are always in 

 their place. Until I had all Page I had 

 much trouble to keep mine home and others 

 out, Henry Rieman.
