In Line By BRIAN BAKER ahelore the end of summer many cattle will have been de scribed In unprintable words for their provoking sets of break Ing into crops from their pas tures at the most impossible and busy times While cows Will be cows and succeed in breaking out once or twice during sea so regardless of ones efforts there are number of ideas that can be used to make fences little more cowproof Although it is the most expen sive fence the woven eight or ninewire fence is the best for fencing pastures Generally tfzsts or steel stakes for this fence should he paced about rod Sit yards apart Toowtda spacing can cut the life of the fence in half Especially on more narrow eightwire ience barbed wire wlll discourage cows from forcing underneath excellent way to give pm ctlon against underfence graz ing and snowdrag is to drive thirtyinch sharpened cedar sta kes along the bottom of the fence between each post or lake and staple the bottom wire to these This is particu larly useful where hogs are pas fllled SOFT GROUND in soft ground anchor posts at the end of woven wire fences wilisometlmes heave up and allow the fence to slacken If there Is any danger of this oc curing dig hole three or four eet deep and three feet wrde at right angles to the fence and four or live feet beyond the an chor post large enough to bury athreetoot cedar log Wrap round or two of brace wire round the log and round the top oithe anchor post Fill the earth back in over the ing and pack tthtiy then twist the wires tight This will prevent any hea ving chain saw Is handy tool for cutting the mortices and an gles ot braeepost units accur ately so theywill not skip out It saves lot of tedious Work ELECTRICAL sauce The electric fence Is an inex pensive ience Electric fences come in batterypowered models which are inexpensive but may use two or three batteries cost ing about $4 each year Com blnation batteryvhydro models originally cost about $31 but on hydro cost almost nothing to op erate They feature constant shock indefinitely til the hydro doesnt go off with no lade outs common to batteryoperat ed fences Electrified fences range from highly successful to gownright unreliable depending how they are installed and maintained and the disposition of the cattle Holsteins are most respectful of this fence Powerleak is the most cym mon trouble with electric fences Eesides keeping vegetation cut gom under hot Wires take hisk sometimes and remove spiders webs that become mat ted and cause power leaks in wet weather Less obvious are almost in visible fractures which form in porcelain insula tors decade or so old again allowing power to leak away in amp weather Discard fractur ed or dripped insulators Rusty wire Is poor conduc tor of the electric shock So is Italian Spagh til Deluxe Ha born to take out for $100 Barries largest so faction of guns and sporting goods Open evenings TIIlIiI BI Welt Phone is hooked splice When splicing the hot wire bend the two ends each at least foot long one around the other as in looping them together like hooks But instead ol hooking them hrod each end right back over so that they can be twisted around the opposite wires rather than back around themselves This gives up to twofecl of contact for power to transmit over the splice rather than the more llilo point contact of hooked sp cc P0011 GROUNDTNG In dry Weather many electric fences fall simply because of poor grounding ground rod should usually be driven Into the ground three four or more feet to be certain It extends Into the moist soil so that current is conducted to complete the circuit Once at our farm all we had to do to put snap Into an almost unnoticesbla shock was to pour bucket of water around the tooshort ground rod Again electric fences must be tight Buried anchor logs at cor ners and ends will keep wires tight Many herd owners find single smooth wires strung on stakes 100 feet apart is ample The most durable electric fence consists of upper and lower hot barbed wires with center cold wire strung on posts or stakes rod apart Extremely dry weather when heat insects or thirst drive cat ltle to break out is real prob em WATER BOWLS Water bowls or automatically tilled tanks more than pay for themselves the first season they are installed in pasture fields in increased production not to men llwaii Results IIRDII Iippeal BARRIE Good progress has been made this year In estab lishing considerable number of land use projects throughout the county reports Stew art Page North simcoe Agri cultural representative it Is too early to state the percentage oi successful new aeedings but number of encouraging reports have been received We still do not know the final outcome of our application for an AEDA Land Use Pro iect Our original application was turned down hotthe Coun ty ARDA Committee metlate in May and unanimously decid ed to appeal the decision he said The appeal was forwald ed to the provincial authorities and at

no one boss animal can monopolize the water supply Place them at the edge of the pasture against fence but in the open away from shade to prevent loi lering of boss animals Hall or to inch polyethciena pipe is Inexpensive andcan be laid above ground along fence line quite easily Water in the pa ture will probably cut fence breaking by 50 per cent Much damage to fence is caused by cattle reaching through to feed on brush weeds and gray or crops that always grow greener on the other side of the fence Using hand or knapsack sprayer you can make this greenery unattractive as cattle forage by lightly spraying it with smelly but otherwise harmless diesel fuel which mak es the greenery unattractive for three or four weeks incidentally If cattle do break into rank clover or allalfa crops and blast one cup ol diesel fuel or coal oil with one cup of water Is the fastest acting sale dreneh cure for the storm ach rupturing and heart strang ling condition of bloat RAIL FENCE Many county darmcrs have made axocilent fences hy rebuil ding old rail lenees common method is to wire stakes or one dugin post and one stake each side of the rail splices which are about izieet apart bar bed wire placed along snaked rail fence prevents close ap proach of animals especially if it is electrified Cedar stakes are useful for driving in in weak spots along stumps fences Across these ralls can be wired adding sev eral more years to the life of the fence Sapling trees of no commercial value and conven iently growing can be cut half4 way through and bent across open spots between the stumps where they soon send up live ing picket of branches Again one strand of electri fied wire can add sevaral years to the useful lives of all types of fences when these become old and weak Place the electric wire on stakes about three feet on the inside of decrepit fences If particular animal becom es nuisance at breaking out of the pasture especially where clover crops present bloat hazard
