A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENCING EJECTED BY REID'S PATENT TRIPLEX WIRE STRAINER. (Patented K in 1885 throughout Groat Britain, the United States, and the Colonies.) No Straining Posts required except at the nngles of fences, The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary . The advantages claimed for these, the latest and moat improved meons of straining wire fences, aro : - THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m the straining posts they save. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m ecotiomy of time and labor, because no botinjr of straining posts is required, aud the whole prpcesa of straining occupies only about quartor the usual umo. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as long as the fence exists, because they aro left permanently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened when* ever desired.
