As a re-sult the small part of the hole through which the shank ofthe nail passes is longer neater the bottom of the post thanat the top. Consequently the nails at the top stick out toofar and when bent around the fence wire the points strikethe bottom of the groove and make it difficult to pull the Mi^ WS?E^. .NOfl(fu)Uf^ Method of fasfeninq wire.
