Portable Sectional Poultry Fencing
Sectional poultry fencing has several advantages over stationary fencing: It can be easily moved, the poultry yard being made larger, smaller, or shifted; an area may be planted to a crop and gradually included in the yard, furnishing greens for the poultry. Also, the tenant who does not care to put down permanent equipment, will find sectional fencing desirable.
Poultry Fencing Made in Portable Sections Has Several Advantages over a Stationary Barrier
Sections are practical to about 18 ft. long, and should be 7 ft. high for the lighter breeds of poultry. If the fencing is to be used for grown stock only, the fine-mesh wire below may be omitted, and 2-in. mesh used. Some sections should be fitted with gates, and the top batten should be set down about 1 ft., so as not to afford footing for the poultry. The sections are lashed together with wire, and supported by an occasional post, or guyed to buildings or supports.
Suitcase Holder for Running Board of Automobile
These Homemade Supports Are Adjustable to Suitcases of Varying Widths
Two metal strips, ³⁄₁₆ by 1¹⁄₂ by 20 in., were used to make a strong and adjustable holder for suitcases carried on the running board of an automobile. One-inch slots were cut near the top of the strips, which were bent to form angles having an upright portion 12 in. long. The angles are adjusted at the bolts, as shown, and the suitcase is held in place by straps.—Lucien G. Baer, Los Angeles, Calif.
