Public Notices. ECONOMY IN TIME : ECONOMY IN LABOR : ECONOMY IN FENCING MATERIAL. Patent Titan Wire Strainer, ADVANTAGES : IT straios a wiro anywhere, either post or midway ; makes tho best knot, and one which seldom breaks old wire ; does not slip about m working ; strains with unrivalled power, ease, and freedom from annoyance ; does not allow the wire to Blackon moro than ONESIXTEENTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightness ond strength m the higheot degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes which require wires to be joined under tension.

A REVOLUTION IH.WIRE FENCING EFFECTED BY REID'S PATENT TRIPLEX WIRE STRAINER. (Patented m 1885 throughout Great Britain, the United States, and the Colonies.) No Straining Postsl required except at the angles of fence 3. The boring of Straining Poßts unnecessary.

The advantages claimed for these, the latest and most improved means of straining wire fences, ore : - THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m the straining yosts they save. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time and labor, because no boring of straining posts is required, and the whole process of straining occupies only about quarter the usual \irne. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as long as the fence exists, because they are left permai nently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened whenever doaired.
