Weaver, head of the department of agricultural en gineering and extension specialist of State college. He says that all electric fences present n element of danger, but that the home-made device which does not limit the amount of current and which does not include a fool-proof controller to interrupt the flow of electriciity, is especially lethal. "The recent death of a Wilson county child who was electrocuted by a fence on his father's farm focused attention on the electric fence now being widely used to restrain livestock in the state." Prof. Weaver stated. "3 wish to reiterate the position of my depart ment, and that of the entire State college extension service, that all electric fences present definite safe ty problems, but home-made elec tric fence devices are especially dangerous." The State college man said that the Wilson county child died as a result of coming in contact with a hbme-made electric fence, which did not allow for the fence wire to be charged intermittently; and had only a small electric bulb to reduce the amount of current from a 110 volt line.' Electric fences manufactured by reliable companies restrict the amount, of current, and interrupt the current at regular intervals in order that a person or animal may be freed from contact with the charged wire, usually without fatal damage. .'I repeat the warning which we have frequently issued that an elec trie fence is extremely dangerous unless it is properly made, correctly installed, and carefully used," Weav er said.
