Poorly Qalvanized Fences. 



We hear so many complaintsthe last few years about 

 galvanized wire not being so "lasty " as the wire fur- 

 nished some years ago that this question seemingly has 

 become serious, and of interest to every farmer. 



As considerable money is now spent by the average 

 farmer for fences, it would seem good judgment to 

 study thoroughly the fence question before buying, 

 witti a view to securing the very best article made, and 

 know that it is heavily g&lvanized. and weather-proof. 



The Brown Fence and Wire Company, of Cleveland, 

 Ohio, whose advertisement appeared in Gleanings, 

 page 1036, claim to make a heavy-weight farm fence, 

 using all No. 9 coiled-spring steel-strand wires with No. 

 9 stay wires, and all wires containing an extra-heavy 

 coating of galvanizing. Their catalog is interesting to 

 fence-buyers, and complete with fence facts.
