BARREN NOTES = FENCR OR NO
FENCE?

To the Editor of the Union and American:
The writer was amused by the contro-
versy going on in your Agricultural Depart
ment in relation of abolishing the fence law
and keeping stock up, on one side, and OF
maintaining the old statutes OF a lawful
fence, and letting stock roam, on the other
side. But the subject is of vital interest
not only to the present but future genera
tons, not only to the poor but to the rich,
in fact to all classes of society, because
farming is a nations staff of life, hence
whatever binders or fosters its development
ought to engage the earnest attention of all.
Let us take survey before argumenta-
ton. There are four farmers in the same
vicinity, A, B, G, and D. The first Inherit
ed broad acres of land and plenty OF money,
knows his business and faithfully performs
the duties of his cherished profession. He
has All his lands finely fenced. and part set
in grass both among bis forest trees and on
the clearings, while the other part is yearly
cultivated in different crops. Everything
is urospering with him. BIS colts are sold
at S2O6-5O0, his calves for $25-100 and
his pigs are eagerly bought at $3.50, and
he raises them by the hundreds. He picks
6O0-l.O0O pounds Of cotton, gathers g
II barrels of corn, or 1870 bushels Of
small grain on an acre, according as ne useE

APLAIN Talk ABOUT FARMERS,

The farmers of the South have had some
severe lessons to learn. Accustomed to
profusion in everything, they were lavish in
expenditures and paid but little attention to
economy in small things. Tools were pur-
chased by the wholesale, and it was a reg
ular custom to order in large quantities
whatever was thought to be needed for the
year. If an implement broke it vast cast
aside and new one taken from the store
room. But little attention was paid to re-
pairing, when probably the cost Of repair
ing would be but one-tenth of the original
cost of the article. This state of things
will have to be corrected under the changed
condition of things. There can be no econ
olny in using mean tools, and the best way
10 keep them good is to supply each laborer
'on the farm with set, and require him to
return them in good order at the expi-
ration Of his term Of service. One
of the largest and most successful farmers
In the State has adopted this plan, and the
consequence is, no hoes are ever left ex-
posed to the ravages of the weather
Flows, hoes, axes and gear are all well
cared for, and enough is saved each year
te pay two or three times the interest on
the money expended on the surplus tools,
while the amount saved in losses and time
usually required in hunting up tools that
belong to every body, viii pay the whole
cost. Let any farmer take note of the
loss in these two particulars, and he will
soon be convinced that true economy viii
lead him to buy a sufficient number OF tools
of each sort to supply every hand on the
farm with a set. There are some faLacieE
which obtain among 8 great Por-
ton of our farmers, many OF
them the result of inheritance.
They should be exposed. Under system
OF slavery they were not fallacies, but have
become so under system Of free labor
One Of these is that the greaterthe number
Of Iaborers employed the greater the profits
Ii was quite amusing at the termination OF
the war to see farmers who had never man
aged more than one hand, essAying tc
manage fifteen or twenty, with an inVariable
loss to themselves. Their passion for labor
was soon cooled when it was ascertained
that profits result from good management
and not from the number employed. An
other fallacy is, that as profits come from
the land, so the more owned the greater the
profts. The truth is, that the large mum
Der of acres controlled by the Southern
farmers has been their bsne and theiI
great drawback to prosperity. No
man should own more land thai
he can manage probably. If he cal
manage a hundred, a thousand, or tel
thousand acres proftably, 1t. is a
well; but when we see lands running Y

rhe DAILY Mail to DonaldsonviIIe.

For some time, the Louisiana division of
the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas rail-
road has been transporting the mails to and
from Donaldsonville and intermediate post
offices on the route, and recently, we be
Iieve, mails have been carried over that
route and by connecting steamer to and
from Baton Rouge and intermediate points.
The railroad management has been per-
forming this service without compensation,
and as it can not be continued gratuitously
a dispatch has been sent by parties in New
Orleans, largely interested in these daily
mails, urging our Senators and representa-
tives il. Congress to secure some action by
which provision may be made to properly
compensate the railroad company.
We hope they may be successful, for the
advantages of a daily mail over this i'm
portant route can not be too largely esti-
mated
