asks for q preventive Of rust In wheat, and
several Agricultural Clubs are discussing
the subject. That journal says the best
method it has seen is thoroughly under
draining the land. 1t adds: ave have
never known crop Of grain to rust on such
land; it may have done SO, we do not know
it. Who does?o
The above is a fair way to call ont infor-
nation; and We viii say in reply that
wheat and oats rust on millions of acres
almost every year SO dry by surface drain
age that if the owner of the land were to
make ten or twenty covered bitches
through The field, not one would pass run
ming wafer at no time when trust was grow
ing On wheat, nor for months before. What
signify drains that carry off 10 water dur
ING the atmospheric dampness in which the
parasite call rzst is so suddenly and widely
p7opagsted? Without passing off drop of
water soil may be wet enough to favor
rust and mildew. Mould, mildew, rust
and smut, grow where the dampness does
not exceed that on damp linen
in bureau that mildews, or
on leather and cheese that mould, and ont
green timothy, oats, and wheat that rust.
There is great deal of land that needs bet
ter drainage; but to underdrain granite or
other rock to prevent moss growing on its
damp, dew-condensing surface, would have
little or no effect. Weeds and grass growing
in a wheat field cool and dampen the air
about the leaves and stems of wheat, open
their sonata aud facilitate the planting of
p 81 erms under the cutice of cereal grass
8. tJleaIl cultivation of wheat plants, by
hVsigg an Feeding, ana lining the land,
10 addition, drainage where needed, are
the best kn gn preventives. Wheat that
grows on dry, flint, and limestone soils is
rarely attacked by rust. Lime, potash,a
soda dissolve flint so as to give glass like
covering to the culms, or stems of corn,
wheat and other cereals. The more of this
fintabounds in, and under the cuticle, the
less likely rust is TO find healthy lodge
ment and grow rapidly at she expense of
the injured foster parent.

THE FENCE LAW.

z he first item ia q nations wealth is
cultivated land. Before this, every other
species of property dwindles into insignif-
canoe, anu strange as it may seem, the
greatest investment in this country, the
most costly production of human industry,
Is the common fences which divide the
fields from the highways, and separate
them from each other. No man dreams
that when compared to the outlay Oh these
uDpfetending monuments of hnman art,
our cities and our towns, with all their
wealth, are left far behind. But few are
aware Of the fact that the fences of this
country have cost more than twenty times
the specie there is in it. In many of the
counties 10 tie Northtrn States, the fences
have cost more than t.a farms and fences
are worth. 1t is this enormous burden,
there can be no doubt which keeps down
the agricultural interest of this country, and
1t is freedom from it which enables the
north of Europe, with worse climate, and
an Indifferent system of cultivation, TO IN
dersen US in the markers OF England.
There, travellers tell us, fences are almost
unknown. The herds and focks are
under the care of berdsmen and
shepherds, and thus an untold
expenditure is saved, besides the loss of
the land which the fences occupy, aud the
accumulation Of soil, that, with the most
careful management is apt to be thrown
up around them by the plOw. As coun-
ry grows older and timber becomes scarce
the subject Of fences, trivial as it may seem,
becomes one of great importance. The
Legislature Of Virginia is discussing this
subject, and the large amount of stock
killed by the various railroads in. Georgia
viii result in establishing q general fence
law. Rev. C. ". Howard, OF Georgia, has

Total expenses in six wears. .s48,715 rs

Ex- Gov. Brown estimates the expenses
to the State road on account of the killing
OF stock at one thousand dollars per month.
President Hazelhurst, of the Macon and
Brunswick road, says that road "pays
monthly five or six thousand dollars per an
nun for stock killed." President Wadleigh
estimates the expenses under this head to
the Central at thirteen thousand one hum
dred and fofty-three dollars per annum:
eve paid, from July l, 1871, to July l,
1872, for stock killed and injured, four
thousand two hundred and sixty-six dollars
and fifteen cents. Estimated loss connect
ed with this class of accidents, two thou
sand and five hundred dollars" 1t will
thus be seen that the above roads are taxed
annually in the sum of seventy thousand
dollars. The expenses for broken cars,
damaged engines and tracks torn up, swell
the amount to one hundred thousand dol
lars. When, in addition, is taken into con-
sideration the danger to human life from
this source, it does seem that some wise
legislation is needed for the public protec-
ton. The same causes which elicits dis
cussion Of the fence law in Georgia and
Virginia exists in other States, and we
would not be surprised to hear it discussed
in the next Legislature of Tennessee
Memphis Appeal.
