Messrs. J. and F. Hall, of Worcester, exhibited Iron Fencing 
for Cattle (Whitgrove's Patent). The following description, 
will give a clear idea of its construction : — 
The advantages of this fencing are its ornamental and massive appearance 
and great strength. All the horizontal bars are securely fixed by means of 
the patent couplings to the standards where they come in contact, instead 
of passing through the standards, consequently it is not liable to get out of 
shape as is usual with ordinary fencing, as every portion of the fencing has 
to take an equal strain. The standards can be placed at any distance apart, 
according to the strength of fencing i-equired. The same principle applies to 
fencing with vertical bars and gates- 
Patent Coupling Standards for Wire-fencing (^Whitgrove's Patent). — 
These standards are so constructed that in fixing wire-fencing the wire can 
be strained first and the standards fixed afterwards, consequently saving a 
considerable time in fixing, as the wires have not to be threaded through the 
standards ; and in case of broken standards they can be taken down for repairs 
without the wires. Price, with double-pronged feet, 3 feet 9 inch out of 
ground, Ij inch by |- inch, for 5 wires, 2s. each. Other sizes in proportion. 
Mr. Wm. Brenton, of East Cornwall Iron Works, Polbathic, St.

which prevents the roots from choking in the bottom hopper : 
this is effected by metallic fingers revolving inside the hopper.
