Fig. 16.—Wicker Fence.

Where other material is costly, or not to be obtained, the wicker fence, constructed of stakes and willows, is much used. In the far West it is to be seen in every town, generally built on a small embankment of earth from one to two feet deep. In this climate, with occasional repairs, it lasts from ten to fifteen years. [Figure 16] shows the style of construction.

Fig. 17.—Brush Fence.

Throughout the forest regions is found the staked and ridered brush growing on the line where the fence is constructed. [Figure 17] illustrates a few rods of brush fence—such fencing being met with in our Southern States.
