How the Maine Law would Benefit
the Farmer.

A BETTER price would be OF tain
ed for our pork, IL il be known in
the estern and foreign markets
that none Of it was still-led. We
have been assured that purchas.
ers often give 50 or So a barrel
more for eastern pork, because
they know it is not liable to prove
slop-fed; and It would be safe TO
assert that the farmers Of Ohio
lose at least 81 per barrel on their
hcg crop-say a half million OF
dollars annually--by allowing the
distillers to bring slop-fed pork
into competition with their corn
fed article.
2. If space permitted we could
easily show that it would be more
profitable to our farmers to keep
all their store hogs, and feed their
corn themselves, than to sell both
hogs and corn to the distilleries.
Those having surplus of either
article could easily sell or ex-
change with others, especially now
that railroads are penetrating in
almost every county, and greatly
fequaliztng tho price of farm pro-
duce throughout the country.
3. The value of farming lands
would be enhanced in all the dis
tilling and grog-selling neighbour
hoods, if these nuisances were
abolished. Every intelligent OBJ
server Is aware Of the blighting in
fluence Of those establishments
on the morals of community
around them; and every sensible

many townships in Ohio where
the lands are deprecated full
twenty pei cent. in value by the
distilleries and grog- shops in the

4. Taxes will be greatly les
sened by the suppression Of the
liquor traffic. In proof Of this
proposition we might ill our sta
tistics, il necessary, showing that
full nine-tenths Of the pauperism
and crimes of this country is direct
ly traceable to intemperance; so
that a large share ofour taxes go
todefray theexpenses Of drunken
ness.
5. Farm laborers would be much
improved. The difficulty of pro-
curing steady and industrious hir-
ed laborers is one Of the most
serious difficulties Of which our
farmers complain, notwithstand-
ing the influx ofemmigration from
the working classes of our other
countries. Unfortunately, the
majority of foreign laborers are
addicted to the use ofstrong drink
and, consequently, they either
refuse to work on farms, or con-
tinue their evil habits when there,
so that farmers can not safely rely
upon them, aud hence many re-
fuse to employ them. But let
the means Of gratifying this
habit be removed from all our
towns and cities, and laborers
would be not only willing to
work on farms, but more reliable
and serviceable when there.

Boomers have appeared so fire.
quently Of late in Broadway, that
they have ceased to be a novelty;
and We are glad to be ableto state,
that a lady attired in Bloomer cos
tune may now walk our streets
without subjecting herself to any
thing more disagreeable than an
occasional stare from the more
vulgar or more verdant Of the pas
sers-by. The verdant Boomer
movement in this city was nipped
in the bud by the appearance in
Broadway Of number ofdisrepu-
table women dressed in the new
mode. Such women have long
since laid aside their Boomers;
and there is consequently no rea-
son why any lady who prefers con-
venience to fashion, cleanliness
to street-sweepeng, and a COM
plete concealment ofthe person to
a necessary exposure of it, should
not show her good sense by the
adoption Of u better style ofdress-
ing than that which now prevails.
We freely admit that the Bloom.
or dress is not becoming to al
ladies; but it is far less unbecom-
ing that an indicate display OF
the person, which in our mud dy
streets can scarcely be avoided
when the usual dress is worn.--
And we are confdent that as soon
as any considerable number Of ladies
adopt the new style. the ingenuity
and taste OF American women will
be successfully exercised in i'm.
proving upon it. Now, ladies, be-
fore another winter comes round

suddenly tall and majestic form APP

beckoned TO Mr., Van Buren,. There
was little business doing, and the Vice
President, calling a Senator TO the
chair. joined the person mentioned,

yet existing in reference to the
proper distance for plants to be
set apart.
The inquiry may possibly ar
Use, why so much difference of
opinion among those who have
had the matter under advisement
for three, four or six yearsg Il
answer, the circumstances rather
warrant me in arriving at about
this conclusion that DIR. Warder
really did take the pains in pre-
pairing for, and setting out his
hedge, that he recommended to
others; that it was properly culti-
waited and cut OF twice each year,
for the term Of three years, at
which time no doubt it had the
appearance Of q "perfect hedge,
wide at base, tapering TO a point
at the top But mind you, a
hedge thus cultivated and cared
Cor, is richly supplied with lateral
shoots at the age Of three years,
which gradually thereafter begin
to show signs Of decay; and ere
six years rolls around, little else
is seen near the ground than tho
main body Of the plant.
For my own satisfaction, | call
cd at Mr.. Baird's and examined
his hedges, q short time SINCE
They are Of different ages, and
consequently afforded a good OPP
portunity Of contrasting changes
made from year to year. His
three year old hedge surely pre-
sented many more obstacles to
pigs getting through, than the
one four years old; while the lat
tor appeared perfectly proof a.
gainst any other kind of stock.
BY close examination it isplainly
discernable that even at the age
of four years a portion Of the
limbs and weaker sprouts begin to
decay; which must eventually
give place to one leaning stalk
from each plant, or the present
signs do not presenta true index
to the future.
The impression has gone forth
that the Usage Orange is SO well
adapted to the purposes oil fence
making, that little else than plant
ing and cutting is really necessa-
ry to secure a perfect hedge
Under those false notions, many
have engaged in the enterprise,
and l doubt less than one-half oil
all the hedges yet planted out
will iail to meet the expectation OF
the farmers, and quite a large
proportion must eventually prove
a nuisance to the owner. From
my limited experience, together
with the examination have re-

From the Indiana Farmer.
Live Fences Again.

past year the object Of Live
Fences was frequently adverted
to by correspondents Of the Far
mer, communications and ex-
tracts published therein from 9TH
er papers, and your own editorials.
] believe it was generally admit
ed on all hands thata substitute
for the present mode of fencing,
is even now much needed in
many sections Of the country,
and that ere long the old fashion
ed worm fence must, and neces-
sarily win give place to something
quite different, be that a wire
fence, hedge, or what it may.
/ admitted in my communica-
ton Of April last, and now feel to
repeat the same, "That those who
have plenty Of rail timber, need
ever expect a better or cheaper
mode Of fencing than that Of the
common rail fence" but then, as
now, / contend that where timber
is not at command, or so very
high in price as it must shortly be
here, the minds already in quest
Of some substitute; and the i'm
portant enquiry is, what shall that
substitute be?
The hedge, quickly answered
the Spectator, and soon, very
soon, enough join in the declara
ton that the HEDGE is truly The
only available substitute, and The
Usage Oronge the plant best adj
apted to the purpose.
The plant thus introduced t
us being anativeof another cline
predisposed to grow into tree in
stead Of q shrub, naturally will re
quire many experiments, ere the
CIVILIZATIONS will DO able TO- udici
ously decide what manner oftreat
ment Widest subserve the object
in view. Suppose, for illustration
that VIC are now ready to com
msnce preparing our hedge row
and apply to DR.. John A. Ward.
or, Of Cincinnati, for information
on the subject. The DIR. doubt
less would repeat what he has re-
commended on former occasion
VIZ "Plow the ground fully ter
feet wide and as deep as possible
in autumn; then !again in the
spring, following with a subsoi
plow, making the groung mellow
to as great a depth as possible.
Few, if any, would condemn The
above recommendation, yet nine
tenths Of all who have set GU
hedges, or design doing so in tn,
spring. are disposed to think ca,
blowing quite sufficient, and gen
orally defer that until other bust
ness has strong claims upon thei
time.
But just here another question
arises, the answer to which ma,
not be 50 satisfactory, yet, in m,
estimation, is equally worthy O
consideration, and that is, how ia
shall The plants DO set apart.
Friend Warder would say, s.sc
the plants one foot apart or more
cutting them off two inches from
the ground"
MI. VIM. NJ. Baird, Of our town
ship, was inclined to think 8 in
about the proper distance to Sc
plants apart, and with four years
experience still clings to The sam
opinion.
Mr.. G. +. CLARKsov, Of Brook

plants from six to perhaps sever
