EWEN'S FENCE STRAINER,

Mb Thos. Wells, of Cambridge, called our attention the other day to an improved winder, to be used in connection with Ewen's fencing strainer. It is inacveU lously simple, and yet at the same time is thoroughly effective. The introduction of this winder should double the sale of the strainers, for it removes every objection ever raised against them. It is a continuous winder, and the handles working on the* side of the post, the operator's hands are kept clear of • the wiree—important in the c-*so of barbed wire—and he can wind tightly four strainers with the new winders whilst he was doing one with tbe old. Its great leverage enables it to wind the strainers equally well on soft as on hard posts, and whnn tightened, to throw the wire to the top of the holes with the greatest ease. Again, it will wind equally well where there is a row of strainers on each side of » post—always a difficult matter. Af.ain, it winds equally easy in a 3in. space—say, for instance, where there ia only three inches between a si raining post and a gate post—and this no other winder of any kind in use in the colony will do. We strongly recommend our fanning friends to inspect this instrument and give it a trial.
