Longest Fence in the World.

The longest fence in the world is prolm'oly that which lias been erected by a well-known American cattle company along the Mexican border. It is seventy-five miles in length, and separates exactly for its entire distance the two republics of North America. The fence was built to keep the catGe from running across the border and falling nh easy prey to the “Mexican cow' punchers. Although it cost a great deal of money, it‘ is estimated that cattle enough will be saved in one year to more than pay for it.
