About Fences.

Tho question of Fences or no Fences" is one
which must soon occupy large share OF the at
teaton Of the agricultural world and certainly is
one Of vital Importance In a recent number Of
the Country Genaessan, writer makes these
pertinent remarks upon the subject:
The cry ''down with the fences is daily be-
coming louder. One eminent English agricul-
turist has removed three ard half miles Of
what he regards as unnecessary fence, from a
farm of less than 200 acres.
1t is estimated that Great Britain might dis
pehse with 100000 miles of fencing now in ex-
istence. If we suppose this fence to occupy q
width of nine feet, which is very moderate es.
innate for the wide, live fences of England, this
would he an addition to the arabic lands, of $685..
$50 acres
Our common worm fence usually occupies q
width of feet-ths rails being fourteen ft4long.
a fence made with longer rails occupies more
space. If the rails shorter, the space occu-
pied is less. To this it is ssfs to add eighteen
inches for land that is not cultivated. This gives
a width Of two yards appropriated to fence. Ev-
cry 2,24O yards of such fence occupies an acre
An acre of ground in form nearly square and
consequently in the most economical shape as re-
CARDS fencing is 220 feet by 1893 feet To fence
this req aires 21S yards Of fencing, which ocex.
pies just about 0ne-eight Of An aert-that is one
eighth Of the whole. Such fence surrounding .
ten-acre lot OF the comparatively economical
shape OF 242 yards by 200 yards would occupy
1903 yards, or considerably loss than Is of an
acre. This would be less than l-3O of the whole
amount-a striking illustration Of the advantage
OF large lots over small ones.

RAT RENEDIEs.-Rats are great annoyance
70 farmers, especially where grain growing is
made q leading business. Much may he done to
lessen their depredations, by elevating granar-
les and corn cribs two or three feet from the
ground on posts which are timed over for a foot
at the upper end, or are capped by inverted tin
pans. For ordinary cases cats are As good an an
tidote AS has yet been discovered, each farm
should have liberal supply Of them, and, du.
ring severe weather in winter, their owners
should attend daily to providing necessary food
if they are not able to catch supply.
Poison in various forms, ss arsenic, strychnine,
and the prosperous pastss sold proprietary
preparations, are often fatal to favorite cat or
dog as well as the rats. When it is difficult for
them to get a good supply of food, they are often
successfully trapped. The ordinary stcel.trap,
wire box trap aud half round wire trap are gen.
orally used--sprinE fish hooks are worthy Of trial
A large kettle having sufficient water for drown
ing them; top of water covered with chat, hay
seed and meal, is good mode of catching them
where water is not liable to freeze.
Few persons realize the great amount of dam
age done by vermin, or they would be more ac-
tive and rersevering in their efforts to destroy
them.

Life Ainls.

There are some texts that cannot be chosen too
often, some songs that never grow old, and much
good advice that goes for naught, and hence can
not be too frequently repeated. If one-half of
all the good things that have been said and
written about the Importance of making farm life
attractive, had been needed and acted upon, the
condition OF agriculture in this country would be
far in advance Of what it really is. a.
1t is duty to spend money as well as to make

is refreshing and strengthening to drop the oar
occasionally and drift with the tide YOU NAV
not accomplish much within given time, but
the voyage of your life win be longer for little
respite.
Farmers, recognize these facts, sufficiently at
least to give them an impartial trial. First sys-
tematize your time and labor; use more mind
and more machinery than you have hitherto DONE
Have certain hours to work, and work with a
will have certain hours to read, and then think
of nothing else; have certain hours to spend with
your family in social talk, which may be made
instructive as well interesting, and from which
both you and they may receive lasting benefit.
Take care Of your health. Your occupation
affords rich variety of exercise, but other
things are necessary; observe cleanliness, bathe
often eat slowly and regularly, and sleep in well
ventilated apartments. See that every member
Of your family is equally strict in the obser-
nance of these rules, with yourself.
Adorn your house. and make it pleasant, COM
Portable and attractive see that it is provided
with bsoks, pictures, papers, and enlivened with
music. You say this will take money? Very
we'll. Be assured that reasonable amount spent
in this way will return you hundred fold. Let
all your surroundings DC clean and tasteful ;
observe order plant trees for shade and trees for
fruit; cultivate flowers and shrubbery; keepup
the fences and keep the house painted; if a gate
