THE HERD LAW.

A friend, who is opposed to the
Herd Law, said to us the other day
'Furnas, you must stop this advocacy
of the Herd Law. We do not want
it." On this, as well as all other sub
jects, we claim, and will exercise, the
right to speak our own individual
opinion. On all subjects of general
interest, we extend the same privil-
ege to others we exercise ourself. We
will very cheerfully publish commu-
nications from any and all who are
opposed to the Herd Law. Let us
have both sides. What we want in
this county is an expression of the
people f; and we want our Delegation
in the Legislature to be governed by
that expression, let it be for or against
a herd law. While we have our pri-
vate views on this subject, yet if a
member of the Legislature we would
be governed in our action by the will
and wish of the people. When the
people of this county will say they
are opposed to to herd law, the Ad-
vertiser as a representative Of their
wishes, will oppose the passage of a
herd law. Until that time we like all
others, claim the right to express our
individual preference. We repeat and
urge public meetings and expressions.
We invite communications on both
sides.

GRAPE CUTTINGS.

We have been asked to give oul
plan of growing grape cuttings. A,
soon as the leaves fall off the vines in
the fall, prune your vines. For cut.
tings, use none but well matured wood
of the present seasons growth. Cut
in lengths from two to three eyes,
owing to the length of joints. Cut
close to the lower bud, with a sharp
knife, so as to leave a clear, smooth
cut; leave two or three inches above
the upper bud. Then plant. Some
say heel-in until spring. We do not
believe q word Of it; or at least our
best success has been in planting i'm
mediately after pruning in the fall.
Any of our deep rich soil, not subject
too much to drouth, will answer. We
have found great benefit, however, in
digging the trenches in which to
plant, and filling up two or three
inches with river sand. In planting,
lay in the cuttings leaning against the
side of the trench draw In the soil
and tramp down tightly about the
bottom of the cuttings; fill up, leav-
ing the upper edge about an inch be-
low the surface. Then good mulch
ing with old straw or leaves. In this
way, with good sound wood cuttings,
seventy-five per cent. ought to grow.
We have grown even the Delaware
very successfully In this way. In the
spring, and during the growing SEA-
son, keep the ground clear of weeds;
no need of stirring the ground. Be
fore planting, however, the ground
should be well spaded as for an onion
or parsnip bed. This is our plan, and
which has given satisfaction.
Plants grown in this way, one is
worth dozen grown from single eyes
by forcing process.

AT a late meeting of the Littl.
Falls, n. Y, Farmers Club, Mr.
Cronkhite read an essay from which
we make the following extract:
With many farmers this perhaps is
the most perplexing question. The
season for gathering fruits and vege-
tables, as rule, is the best time to
market them then will be the great
est quantity of them, and their quail
| ty will at that time be the best. Yet
we hear farmers say that potatoes will
be higher. He hears of rot in some
sections and he puts his potatoes i'm
the cellar to await higher prices. But
rot and sprout and rats and mice, and
labor and sorting, and in many in
stances exposure to frost, lessons day
by day, the quantity and quality of
this product, and he holds, and then
the market is flooded with men who
thought as he did, and with ten per
cent. of loss he finds himself compell-
ed to take 25 per cent. less i'm price or
not sell at all. Apples will be higher,
another says, and he holds his to
meet decay and trouble.
Hops too, are too cheap, and the
grower piles up his bales to wait the
moving of the market, and thus we
might say of grains, butter, cheese,
and of nearly all of the products ofthe
farm, hay perhaps excepted.
The most successful farmer las a
rule, and he who can show the best
balance sheet at the end of the year.
markets his produce when it is ready
for the market. After having pre-
pared your articles for the market as
has been advised, take the market
price and pocket the money. Your
neighbors may, i'm some instances,
sell for higher price by holding,
but in the experience of ten wears.
you will be far ahead. Produce.
is done with, and all waste
and care of it ceases and
then again you have the use of your
money, and can apply it where it
will be of use. One more reason for
this time of marketing is, that deal
ers are in the market, and have made
their arrangements for buying.
It rs important to the farmer. i'm
disposing of his produce, that he
should meet a good demand. This
he will be most likely to find when |
The article is yielded from his farm, j
and is ready for the market. Dealers |
have then arranged with banks for |
funds, and are anxious to buy. You |
will always meet poor market whell
buyers have closed their accounts and
gone home. You will be considered
,ut of season, and if you sell at all it
must be at sacrificing concessions i'm
price.
Monday is our market day for but
er and cheese here, and he who
would sell well must be here then, as
,uyers are here then, and on Thurs
lay his load will 60 begging about
he streets for buyer.
Prepare your articles in the best
manner for market. Represent them
'onestly and fairly in the market,
nd then sell at the best price the
iarket offers. Let your motto be

ill be largely in your favor.

Arrived this morning, safe and sound.

The colt Is going TO be a roam.
And beauty too; how he has grown!

To call you again about the trough,

And he pats old Bay,
And he slaps old Gray -
All, this is the comfort Of going away.

The best OF a journey is getting home.
I've seen great tsights. but would / give

For all their Paris and Rome?
These hills for the city's stified air,
And big hotels all hustle and glare,
Land all houses. and roads all stones,

Would you, old Gray?
That's what one gets by going away!

There has, perhaps and maybe ye
more violent opposition in Richard
son county to herd law, thanin any
other part of the State. Justice" O
correspondent of the Fall, City Jour
nal from Ohio precinct, writes for thai
paper, as follows on the subject OF
a herd law:
al will give you and the readers OF
the Journal my views Oh that ques.
tion. 1t has been talked of by the
citizens for the last five years, and |
for one have always opposed one.
But now / have changed my views
OH the subject and will give some
reasons why we should have a herd
law now,
Before the presnt time our county
was but thinly settled and the only
thing the poor man had to make
money out of was the little stock he
had, and while the prairie was one
great pasture field for the settler and
held by the spectators the settler
making the land valuable, then he
could only get even with the specula-
tor by pasturing on the wild land.
But now that has changed and the
range is fenced up or under cultiva-
ton, and nearly all i'm Ohio precinct
is In the hands Of the settler, and
what few quarter-sections that are
unimproved are surrounded by farms,
and the consequence is that the stock
Of the neighborhood is driven on that
land pasture and the farms that sur
that raw quarter-section are troubled
by said stock destroying the crops,
and the farmer Is obliged to watch
his field and herd the stock that be-
long, to his neighbor. have known
cattle this season to be driven two
miles from home to prevent their trou-
bling their owners, and men who had
no interest In the stock were obliged
to sustain ali the damage done by
them.
And another reason for our want
ing herd law is that there are men
who have from twelve TO twenty-five
head of cattle and no pasture for them,
they have all their land cultivated
and leave their stock to run at large,
while others have a small pasture in
which they put their cattle for a part
of the day and for the remainder al
low them to run at large and trespass
upon the neighbors.
Let US have general herd law and
compel every man to take care of his
own stock and then we will not be
troubled with other persons stock"

HERDLAW AGAIN.

We feel greatly interested i'm tn

man can, in this vicinity, fence hi,
land with posts and boards, or rails a
less expense than $l.50 per rod
More will cost 50 than $1.50. This, l,
will be seen, will cost from $780, 90 te
81 $4,000 for each quarter section o.
land. Give the farmer.a chance to grow
his fence-live, or hedge fence, and
he can put it cut for, not to exceed, Is
cents per rod, or Sis per quarter sec.
tion. Then, when once established,
the per cent to keep it in order is but
q trifie compared with keeping up
wooden fences.
This question has been and is vet
agitating the minds of farmers and
others in the old timbered States.
New York and Ohio are moving in
the matter. New York has a law
prohibiting stock from running on
the high ways. The Country Gentle
man, an Agricultural paper of that
State, in speaking of this subject
says:
'Since the passage of the law ex-

public highways i'm New York, il Is
more and more attaining the ascend
ency. Some who were strongly on
posed to it at first, have become its
advocates, and find il great conven-
ience. They are not obliged to keep
their gates strongly barred or barrica-
ded every minute of the day, for fear
that unruly cattle will plunge into
their grounds. The highway fences
need not be kept up to an extraordin-
ary height and strength to protect
corn and wheat fields.
When the law was first enacted. n
well-known farmer read it TO his
neighbors. They were utterly oppos-
ed to it, and declared their determin-
alton to disregard it. Finding he |
could make no impression on them. |
our friend adopted a new system of |
tactics. He entirely removed the |
fench which separated from the road
his large and luXuriant wheat field,
and informed his neighbors what he
had done. None dared to risk the
consequenee'of turning their cattle

THE GREAT HOG CONTEST,

Whatever merits other hogs NAV
possess, it is being demonstrated that
the Poland and China is the stock
for the farmer and the packer.
Among the different styles of this
breed, we have ne hesitation i'm saw
ing that A. G. Moore's Improved
Poland and China or Moore Hog. has
many points of decided preference.
AT the late st. Louis fair Mr.. NJ.
showed seventy-two head of hogs.
Though he had twice before taken
the pork packers premiums-S5OO i'm
1868 and 500 in l86s-this stock took
seven premiums, among which were
the "Ames Premium" of $50 for
best pork packers sow; and the
'Ashbrook Premium" of $50. for
best pork packers ten pigs under six
months old--the latter being DIR.
Stevens pigs, of st. Louis CO.. which
were bred on Mr.. Moore's premises.
These two were the only pork pack
ers' premiums awarded to any stvle or

which shows that. as q breeder of this
