Farm Fences.

Fencing has become one of the most
important considerations demanding the
attention OF the farmers and it is won.
d siul that they should SO long submit to
the want Of proper legislation in their re.
speclivc States, which would relieve the n
from this most expensive and unnecessary
burden.
An Impression, almost as old as orr
country itself, seems to exist that nubl,c
roads are public property, and that grass
whiea grows upon them is the common
property OF all the inhabitants, upon which
'beir cattle may be turned to past ure.
This is a great mistake, and one which
requires immediate correction. if for no
other reason than that it is a very expsn
s've one 10 farmers. Pubic roads are, to
DO sure, public property, but only for
special purposes. While the public have
the right to pass and rcpass over them,
they have no other right than this, which
me law gives them, and no more subs,an-
'lal claim to pasture their cattle upon the
road than upon the other side of The

have selected a first class pie,e OF

State of Virginia for the new In

$4,000 will do the work and it will
yield a larger return than any such

possible. The outlay on the part
of the State cannot be less at first
than one hundred thousand dollars

be little less.
The county of Sullivan should
act promptly. A little aid from
that source would open the way for
