Fence Laws-A Much Needed Provision

enCo LaWS-A Much Needed Provision.
Onc..of the greatest evils, from which
our people have suffered since the
war, hns been the absence of whole.
some and wise Legislation upon the
subject of fences, a matter of vital
importance, not only to agricultural
lists, but to communities generally {,
especially 80 undcr our present sys.
tenn of labor, and the changes accom-
panying it. Wo arc essentially an
agricultural people, and it is The part
of wisdom to share our laws to meet
the requirements Of our cal ing aud
promote It's success. Every safe
guard and protection should be
thrown around it, and all its wants and
necessities satisfied. It is the most
honored of all callings, and should be
fostercd and cherished, not only by
the citizen, but BY the government, rs
it is preemiEcntly the chief source
from which spring the wealth and
prosperity of n nation.
The tillago of the soil prccludes
the successful operation of other pro-
fessions within its domain, that arc
in anyways antagonistic to it. To
yield its Legitimate fruits, it must re.
main untrammolled and unfctlc tered
and its distinctive characteristics
must be preserved. Every provision
of nature and discovery of science
that contributes to its success should
be treasured up, md appropriately
1t is an institution whose
origin dates from the earliest anti.
quity, and amidst all tho ravagcs of
time, and for more than fifty centu
rics, it has withstood tho decay nat.
ural to things earthly, and still exists
as living monument Of tho glory of
man, and tho wisdom of God. Upon
tho human race dcvolves the solemn
duty to pcrpctuatc it, and to trans
NIT through all ages in its purity, and
to maintain 1t until time shall be no
more. With this tributs to agricul-
turc, rs the noblcst of mans yoca- |
tlons, we revert to Our own original
subject, Fence Laws, and are gratified
to bo able to lay before our readers
ms copied below, the main features of
a Bill now before tho General AS. |

tion. We present merely an abstract
of its text, as follows:
Scction..l. That lin any County Of
this State which shall adopt the nro.
visions Of this Act in the manner
hereinafter specified, the boundary
line of each lot or tract of land in
'aid county shall constitute a lawful
'ence.
500. Q. 1t shall not bo lawful for
he owner or manager Of any horses,
mules, shoep, goats, swino or neat
attle of any description, to permit
aid animal to run at large beyond the
limits Of their own lands.

1878, for their adoption or rejection,
The last sectionis the only one to
which any possible objection can be
raised iinasmuohe as it strips tho pro.
posed enactment of4all positiveness Of
character by making its force and
operation dependent upon tho wishes
Of hesyoters of tho various Counties
in the State, The general provisions
of the bill. meet. with our hearty ap.
proval, md should commend it to the
favor of tho people at large. The
benefits that will accrue to all sec
tions of the State, from tile passage
of such an Act 90 tho above, and its
subsequent adoption 10y the whole
people, will be innumerable, and Of II
most substantial kind. The working
of such law is easil y understood, and
the humblest farmer in our oountry
can rappreciato its advantages and
conycnicnccs. 1t can't be denied but
that fencing is the most expensive
item on farm, where it is required,
fact that constitutes a strong arSu-
ment in favor Of s:no-ccnce" law.
1t has boen also demonstrated that the
destruction of forests necessary for
tho maintenance Of fences, has most
decided tendency to diminish the
quantity Of rainfall. This scientific
truth should have great weight in sup
port of tho principle that "thc bounda-
ry line Of each lot or tract Of land shall
constitute lawful fence" An enor.
nous amount of timber is required
to keep good fences even on an ordi
nary sized plantation, and as the de.
mand is steadily increasing, continual
attacks are made upon our forests to
supply it, and thus it will 20 on from
. year to year, unless checked, until
tho whole face Of the laud will have
the appearance Of vast prairie, be-
rcft of its beauty, and at the mercy
of parchirg sun. Considerations
y such rs these, should awaken our far.
mers to Il realization Of the stern ne
cessity for proper legislation in the
: matter Of fences, and thould influence
our Legislators to use all speed in nf.
fording the agricultural interests the
relief Of which they stand in such ur-
> gent need. No subject of greater i'm
port can at present be agitated. The
whole country is Interested in it, and
arc looking anxiously for legislative
action upon it.
In conclusion we take the posit ion
that "no.fencc" law is necessary
for the success Of agriculture in all
its branches, as now practiccd in this
