SILVER-POX FARMING.

The wall wire should be laced neatly together with lacing wire 
made for this purpose. Great care should be exercised in stretching 
the wire before it is permanently stapled to the posts. If it is not 
stretched tightly enough it will sag, thus making a very shiftless- 
looking job.

DOOR. 
After the wire is laced, stretched, and stapled and the overhang 
is in place, a door should be constructed. (Fig. 14.) This may be 
made by placing a 2 by 4 timber the required distance from one of

the posts. One end of this should be placed on the ground and the 
other should extend to the top of the wall, where it should be nailed 
to the top board to make it rigid. The rigidity is increased by 
stapling the wire to it. 
The door may be made as large as desired, but 2 by 4 feet is gen- 
erally sufficient, unless dens are to be removed from the fox yards.
