APPENDIX. 



Those wishing for material only, will be 

 supplied with the same, completely fitted and 

 ready to put up ; and printed instructions will 

 be sent for the efficient erection of it, at the fol- 

 lowing prices : — 



Prices, for fence 3 feet 6 inches high, having 

 6 horizontal wires, with wrought-iron straining- 

 posts If -inch square for every 75 yards, com- 

 plete with screwed eye-bolts for straining the 

 wires, and wrought-iron intermediate standards 

 1 1 x | inch for every 8 feet distance : — 



For horses, cattle, and sheep, No. 4 wire, Is. per 

 lineal yard. 



For cattle and sheep, No. 6 wire, lOd. per lineal 

 yard. 



For sheep and lambs, No. 8 wire, 9d. per lineal 

 yard. 



Iron stays for curves, Is. each extra. 

 Strong- stays for angles and extremes, 4s. 6d. and 

 5s. 6d. each. 



Wire-fences stapled to wood sufficient to resist 

 horses, cattle, sheep, and lambs. — A strong and 

 efficient fence is formed by using wooden posts 

 and uprights, instead of iron, at about the same 

 expense as common paling. The wires are 

 strained and kept tight by strong wooden posts 

 let down 2 or 3 feet into the ground, which are 

 spurred with wooden stays, either below or above 

 the surface. Also the wires are stapled to the 

 sides of the intermediate uprights, which are 

 driven a little way into the ground, and placed 

 6 feet apart. One important advantage obtained 

 by stapling the wires to the sides of the up- 

 rights is, that, when any of them decay, the 

 staples are simply pulled out : the wires are 

 thus freed, and a new post can be put in the 

 place of the old ones and the wires again 

 stapled without the fence being taken down, or 

 the least injured. 



Prices, including cost of erection, and travel- 

 ling expenses of workmen, when the order 

 exceeds £25 : — 



For horses, cattle, and sheep, 9d. to lOd. per lineal 



yard, with six wires ;

with six wires ;

according to their strength. The proprietor 

 furnishes the wooden posts and uprights, and 

 puts them into the ground. 



These fences may also be put up with iron 

 straining-posts, placed at distances of about 70 

 or 80 yards, the intermediate posts being of 

 wood, at Id. or 2d. per yard additional.
