Herd Law.

A farmer writes to the Marshall
County Times, in reference to q Herd
Law:
am glad to see that the subject of
a head law, or a law for restraining
stock from running at large, is being
agitated in this State. The advan~
tages of such law would be great,
and must appear obvious to any one
who will consider the circumstances.
The materials for fencing three
fourths of the State must be brought
hundreds of miles, by railroad, at
heavy expense. The passage of such
d law, would diminish the expense
of opening new farms one half, and
the expense of keeping them in re-
pair more than half.
If we had such law as this, the
only expense of improving lew
farms, in most cases, would be to
break the.land, and put up the neces-
sary buildings; and the consequence
would be, that in very short time,
the wild land of the State, would all
be settled, and improved, and an inn
petus would he given to business,
and all manner of Improvements,
such as has never been known in the
State.
Even In the settled portions of the
Stats, the advantages would be very
great. The old fences are all rotting
down, and the necessity of replacing
them, is looked upon as grievous
burden, in the near future, which
the passage of such q law, would re-
lieve us from ; for there is no farm,
but has fencing enough to fence the
pasture it requires, and most OF them
have two or three times as much. 1t
will keep the stock where they are
wanted, save the trouble of hunting
and looking after them, will save the
trouble and anxiety of standing guard
over our fields, and prevent the
destruction Of our crops.
If such law was in force now, we
might confidently expect, in the
next five years, to see all the tillable
land in the State improved, and in
stead OF the desert idlen of the
northwest part of the State, con-
tinued succession of cultivated farms
and "flourishing peopled towns"
If we had not always been accus-
toned to fencing our grain fields "a
habit We learned in timbered coun.
tries, 1t would seem to us, most
absurd idea, that we should bring
lumber five or six hundred miles, by
rail TO enclose our entire farms
when one>fourth of the expense
would fence all the pasture our stock
needs with the additional advantage,
of having them at home, on the
farm where they belong.
These propositions appear to me to
be so plain, that nothing can be
palmer, and yet, our cattle run at
large, on the common, and the high
way, and in the fall of the year, in
our cornfields, to the infinite loss
of the farmer both in grain and tenn
per.
If these views are correct, we want
law passed, to carry them into
effect, and if not, / would like to see
them refuted, p.

How To Make Coffee.

First, solemnly determine in your
mind never to allow an ounce
of ground coffee TO enter the door of
the kitchen. If no one about the
premises understands the art of roast
ing Golfer, then buy ii ready roasted,
and try and find a dealer that has
not soaked all the essential Juices
from the coffee before putting it into
his oven. If the roasted berry is
about twice as large as when green,
depend upon it the scalawag Great
Humbug Tea and Coffee company
have defrauded you. Get an earthen
pot--you cannot make good coffee
or tea i'm tin vessel-and put the
ground coffee in o clean white fan
mel bag, and be sure to put enough
into the pot. Pour on boiling water
and let it steep: do not boil it. The
coffee will steep in twenty minutes.
Never break an egg into coffee and
never fill up with water the second
time. Pour on in the beginning the
amount of water needed. An ordi.
nary teacupful of ground coffee is suf.
