Fencing Stock Out OF In.

Editors Southern Caltiuator:- The Liv,
ineston Agricultural Club lIas rendered
the public a valuaHle service by its clear
and able report on the question Of "Aban'
doning the use offences, and the enactment
of Stock law" which appeared ih the
September number of your journal. re-
gard she fences, that may be saved by
proper legislation, without detfffhent to
any interest, as equal to one half of fair
rent of some farms, taking them as whole.
In other words, relieve Southern farmers
of the present expense Of fencing out In
trudine stock that have no ihoral right
to consume or damage IN any way, the
crops grown by any person on his own
land, and you will double the value of all
productive soil. 1t is obvious, that the
higher the tax imposed to keep stock out
of wheat, corn, or cotton field to make
crop, the less inducemcnt there is to cult!
vato the same consequently, there is less
demand for labor than there would De II,
this tax were removed. The poor who,
now keep few hogs and cattle at large,
lose far more by the depreciation of their
wages. whether they work by the month";
or crop on shares, than they gain by this
untimely free stock range. Stock raised
in this way in settled counties, costs the
community at large ten times more than il
is worth to the owners. This remark is
based on my own experience, this Summer.
I have kept a number, Of young hogs Tor 2
ueiehbor all Summer in good clover field
well fenced, for nothing, because it is far
cheaper for me to fence them in one small
field. than out of several large corn fields.
Indeed, to fence many fields againsS small
shad,bellied swine, jumping sheep, and
unruly cattle, taxes Common land moro
than the use of it is worth. Hence, many
million acres lie out as common waste
that would be cultivated, to the incalcula-
BILE advantages of all classes and interests,
if this fence burthen were taken ot. Then
a poor farmer, who if able barely to pay
for fifty acres and mule, could plow,
plant, SOW and-gather i'll his crops, with
out the expense of working one pannel Of
fence beyond what encloses any little stock.

1t is mistake to suppose poor labor
ing man in the South can never lay ,uE
money enough to buy few acres-tar
more than tho great Cineinnatus had when
he was called from his plow to save his
country from the greatest peril. Fence
taxes and all others, on land, are now so
hardly afford to own any. In New York
State this onerous fence tax does not exist;
laboring men receive dollar day as
farm wages. Here I hire good men at if

as the poor, unwittingly, compel farmers
to throw away SO much labor in mauling
fence rails, their wages must be low, -.

The statement that spirits distilled from
apples, peaches, or grapes, arc exempt from
taxation under the laws of Congress, is
without any foundation. The old law fixed
the tax upon brandy distilled from these
products at 81 so pergallon, at which time
the tax upon whiskey stood at 81. When
the tax upon the latter article was reduced
to fifty cents that upon brandy wasreduced
to the same amount, but under, the decision
of the Attorney General persons engaged
