4 law to compel owners Of stock to
confne it within enclosures is very much
needed, particularly in counties in which
timber IS scarce Our correspondent
Farmer having experienced the neces-
sity of such a measure, presents the rea-
sons IN favor of it tersely and forcibly.
In number of localities where timber Is
difficult of procurement, even at extrava-
CANT prices. the impossibility of repairing
decayed fences, TO protect crops from the
ravages of rowing cattle, has become a Sc
rious obstacle TO production: and the evil
Is growing worse every year. The meas
ure is especially needed by the mass OF Ia
borers who own comparatively little or no
stock, and whose dependence for subsis-
tance is upon the fields, which are subject
to depreciation under the present custom.
In the Western States, rigid laws are
in force to protect farmers from depreda-
tions Of this kind. No stock raiser thinks
of turning his cattle on the commons.

STAE n LAW .

EDITORS CLARION: that
you always advocate all measures looking
to the agricultural interests OF the coun-
try, | beg leave to submit for your consld-
Grafton, and ask your views on the ques-
ton of the necessity of a Stock Law.
tions OF the State where timber is scarce,
there can be no doubt. 1t may safely be
asserted that the quantity Of cotton, corn,
and other products destroyed each year
by the loose, rowing stock, exceeds in
amount at least ten times the value Of all
the stock raised during the same period.
Ours is strictly an agricultural State, and
all other interest. are dependent on the
success OF the planter.
Owing to the great scarcity of timber,
and from other causes, the matter of fen
cling has become an obstacle to the plan
ter Thousands Of acres Of fine arabic
land, which, if cultivated, would vastly
increase the material wealth Of the cOun-
try, are lying idle because of the inability
/ OF the owners to build fences sufficient to
guard against the Iepredations of stock.
On nine-tenths of the hill plantations the
/ fences are necessarily defective. How
often is it the case, that poor man, after
toiling through the planting and cultiva-
/ ting seasons, when his corn is just ripe in
| the ear, anC his cotton stalks are white
with their fruit, does he awake some
morning and find his crops destroyed, or
materially injured by rowing cattle? Can
not this be remedied by the passage of a
general .'Stock Law? If all who raise,
or keep stock were required to keep them
in an enclosure and not be permitted to
let them run at large, would not the
waste fields be thereby reclaimed and
made to blossom and bear fruit?
But, it may be said that the argument
surged in favor Of the planter, as TO the
scarcity of timber and the general inabil-
ity to build and keep in repair fences,
would apply with equal force to the stock
raiser, and that it would be hardship to
require him to build fences Mkeep up his
stock Such, however, is not the case, if
we look to the general interest of commu-
nities-and laws, | believe, are not in
tended to be enacted for the benefit alone
Of favored few, against the interest and
welfare OF the many. The expense and
trouble that A. would incur in being re-
quired to build enclosures in which to keep
his stock, would be very small, compared
to what would be imposed on whole
neighborhood to build and keep in repair
fences to protect their crops from the dep
relations and incursions of AS stock, if
permitted to run at large.
/ This, | submit, is a subject Of no little
importance. 1t is one which at least de-
mands serious consideration.
hope that The CLARION will speak out
in advocacy of the passage, by the next
Legislature, of general Stock Law,
should your ideas as to its necessity and
expediency, conform to the foregoing
crude views of FARMER.

Grangery 40 Some Purpose.

An association of Georgia Grangers,
chartered sailing vessel, freighted 1t
with their own cotton and shipped 1t TO
Liverpool direct; under charge OF their
own supercago. When we remember
that a few weeks since, cotton was selling
for 13 cents per pound in certified checks,
while bringing 10 cts. in gold in Liver
pooI. we can see the wisdom of this action.
1t is time for our Planters and local
Merchants to realize that they have no
less tangible an object in banding together,
than have the farmers of the north and
west: there the object is to check the eX-
tortions of Rail Road monopollsts; to do
which the Grangers have TO enter the
field of politics; TO represent and serve
their interests in Legislative and Con
oresssional halls Here in the south, a
purpose for banding together OF our peo-
ple, is shown in the action of the Georgia
grange to free ourselves from, to save ex-
penses upon cotton, of commission mer-
