| from having as much as he may choose
but to be forced to build and repair to the
amount of millions of dollars annually in
every State, is an actual curse to the
country and plague upon its industry.
| 10 take fair and considerable view OF
the question it would seem next to an i'm
possibility for law or custom i'm a free
country to continue in practice anything
more unlast, burdens0me and tyrannical
upon the agricultural interest than the
present law of enclosure
We know this will be considered strong
language, but we mean it to be such as we
shall endeavor to prove every word to be
true
Ii a man purchases tract of land, how
much will it cost him to enclose 100 acres
before he can reap any benefit from it?
| 1t is reasonable to suppose he will have
of this 100 acres at least two fields; sup
posing each Of these two felds to be in the
best possible shape, Ia square,, it will re-
qnire at least 500 panels, and allowing IL
rails to the panel it will take 10, 400 rails
to fence it.
To split this number Of rails from the
forest that has been cuiied over, as is the
case on great many farms, will cost at
least $50. The hauling and building will
be $50; by adding these together we have
$1l0 cash paid out.
! Experience teaches this fence Will nave
to be replaced in about years. making
the annual cost OF repalra $l",3 O To tins
should be added the value OF hnh on
