Cost of Different Kind of Fence Per ioo Yards For xo Years. Rail Fence $16.30. PianK $17.90. Wire $12.15. Your rail fence takes a large fence row that is worth something each year and your fence is subject to be thrown down by stock, blown down m storm, or burned when fire gets to it. Your plank fence is a strong fence, but is subject to b8 burned and when your posts decay some the force of wind against th8 plank will break the posts off before entirely rotten. The wire fence is fire and 6torm proof and stock cannot throw it down as they do a rail fence. The posts will last longer because the storm has no power on the wire, and will last 15 year instead of 10 yeara with repairing oi posts. - This wire fencing dan be had by applying to the Wlnterville Wire Fence Co., Winterville, N.
