Posts six feet long with a bottom wire four inches from the ground secure the structure, and holes in posts and droppers allow the top barbed wire to rest. In flood time the droppers and wire give way to let drift wood pass, then the fence can be reset.
Thirty five hundred farmers on farms a year ago died from their own carelessness as they ignored fire hazards. About 100 million dollars in farm property was lost. The article cites 18 000 fires in rubbish, 26 000 from improper storage of flammables, 31 000 from defective electrical gear, 18 000 from dirty stoves and lamps, 39 000 from wood shingle roofs, 40 000 from dirty chimneys, and 50 000 from faulty heating plants. It urges farmers to clean out outbuildings, fields and machinery and to handle matches and smoking carefully.
The Silver Laced Wyandotte likely arose from crosses of Dark Brahmas Silver Spangled Hamburgs and a French fowl named Brenda.

An ideal market fowl, it can be bred for high egg production without sacrificing standard traits.
