Mr.. Editor:-SIR: In this part Of
the county, in consequence Of the scaroi-
ty Of timber, we find oursel Ives under the
necessity of making as few division fenc.
es as possible; hence several farms are
often found in one inolosurs. This plan,
We find works very we'll in the early part
of the season, but, in the fall and winter,
wo find a great deal Of difficulty resulting
from it. That difficulty arises from the
fact, that, in almost all Of the Enclosures,
some wish and do turn their stock 10
before others ofthc proprietors are ready
for them to do so. The result is, our
crops are often much injured and hard
feelings are engendcred, causing much
unpeasantness in our neighborhoods.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | wish to enquire Of
you if there is any law in Iowa regulating
Tho rights and privileges Of owners in q
common enclosure SO that no one car
take undue advantage Of another with
IMMUNITY. Ifthsre is such law, have
