Making  Deer-proof  Fence 
I  notice  on  page  1493  request  for  some 
method  in  fence  construction  that  will 
turn  deer.  I  think  your  idea  of  stakes 
or  pickets  a  very  good  one,  and  particu¬ 
larly  so  if  pickets  are  of  different  lengths, 
which  will  confuse  them.  If  in  a  windy 
region,  however,  there  may  be  some  trou¬ 
ble  to  keep  such  a  fence  in  place,  which 
would  be  a  drawback,  and  it  would  re¬ 
quire  considerable  material  to  construct 
it. 
In  this  region  deer  are  a  miserable 
pest,  and  I  wonder  that  the  Granges  or 
other  rural  organizations  have  not  de¬ 
manded  either  an  open  season  or  no  pro¬ 
tection  at  all,  the  latter  preferable. 
One  orchardist  in  this  vicinity  kept 
putting  up  his  barbed  wire  until  it  was 
A  Fence  to  Turn  Deer 
12  or  14  ft.  high.  The  deer  tried  jump¬ 
ing  it,  but  got  tangled  in  the  strands  and 
well  skinned  in  their  attempt  to  get  into 
the  orchard.  I  believe  one  succeeded,  but 
did  not  try  it  again. 
A  scheme  I  once  tried  on  them  is 
less  expensive  and  very  satisfactory  in 
most  cases,  and  one  also  effective  for 
jumping  cattle  or  horses  or  those  that 
reach  over  a  fence.  You  will  note  in  the 
sketch  why  it  is- not  so  necessary  fo  put 
up  such  a  high  fence.  Put,  say  every 
second  post,  high  enough  to  admit  of 
cutting  again,  as  they  do  on  a  telephone 
pole,  and  bolt  or  nail  on  a  cross  arm 
344  or  4  ft.  long  to  fasten  wires  to  rear 
ends  of  cross  arm. 
A  deer  is  extremely  acute  in  scent  or 
hearing,  but  their  vision  is  poor,  and 
when  they  come  to  a  line  of  posts  will 
invariably  jump  over  an  imaginary  fence, 
so  these  outside  wires  will  prevent  their 
jumping  up,  or  at  least  throw  them  down 
on  the  wire  fence,  where  they  can  learn 
a  valuable  lesson. 
A  deer  is  rather  shrewd  in  some  re¬ 
spects,  while  in  others  he  seems  to  he 
very  stupid.  For  an  example  of  this: 
Use  a  very  thin  or  light  iron  post  for 
your  wire  fence,  and  you  will  see  them 
bump  their  noses  right  against  it  a  few 
times  before  it  seems  to  dawn  on  them 
it  can  be  jumped  over,  while  on  the  other 
hand,  if  you  will  stick  up  some  sharp- 
pointed  sticks  where  they  would  land  in 
jumping  over  a  fence,  you  will  find  they 
know  enough  not  to  jump  on  them.

Digging  New  Well 
I  have  a  well  104  ft.  deep.  Each  year 
from  October  till  December  there  is  little 
water  in  it.  This  season  it  is  dry.  I 
wish  to  dig  a  new  well  and  quit  using  the 
old  one.  Is  it  advisable  to  dig  a  new  well 
close  by,  or  should  I  dig  the  new  well  100 
or  more  feet  away?  w.  e.  b. 
Berwick,  Pa. 
If  the  present  well  were  sealed,  pre- 
\enting  entrance  of  contamination  of  any 
kind,  there  is  no  apparent  reason  for  not 
sinking  another  near  it.  As  the  strata 
that  you  now  penetrate  do  not  furnish 
a  sufficient  water  supply,  however,  you 
would  have  to  expect  to  go  through  them 
to  a  water-bearing  layer  in  the  new  loca¬ 
tion.  Unless  there  is  some  objection  to 
the  present  location  of  the  well  other  than 
a  limited  water  supply,  it  would  seem  the 
best  policy  to  continue  drilling  in  the 
bottom  of  this  one  rather  than  attempt¬ 
ing  to  sink  another.  A  study  of  the  wells 
of  the  locality  should  be  of  value  to  you 
in  determining  just  what  to  do  with  your 
problem.  At  what  depth  and  in  what 
stratum  has  the  water  supply  been  ob¬ 
tained?  Certain  sections  of  Pennsylvania 
are  said  by  Mr.  Fuller,  formerly  in 
charge  of  underground  water  supply  in¬ 
vestigation  for  the  Geological  Survey,  to 
be  very  erratic  in  their  supply  of  ground 
water,  making  the  sinking  of  a  well  more 
or  less  of  a  gamble.  For  information  con¬ 
cerning  ground  water  supply  and  distribu¬ 
tion.  I  would  suggest  that  you  write  the
