| often notice apparently conflicting
decisions Of learned judges in regard to
ethe law Of fences, and il looks very odd
to young post-5eilanl farmer in this re-
constructed Dominion that as inanimate
and harmless thing as fence should
need any legislation at all, either as re
CARDS the hight to which it should grow,
or the kind Of material Of which it should
consist. Here in Virginia we have, very
wisely, think, changed all that. As the
war left no fences in many sections, we
have done away with all Legislation in
regard to them, and now simply require
every man to be responsible for the keep
ing and good behavior Of his own animals,
from children to chickens, and liable to
pay for all trespasses. Every man is at
liberty to build fences around his crops or
not as he chooses, but is compelled to see
that his cattle do no injury to his neigh
bors. As consequence, any poor freed
man can rent or purchase land in any
section as destitute Of fences as Of fencing
material, and set in to farming with entire
protection from his neighbors' cattle
The complicated laws about fences are as
absolute as those about slavery. Aud why
should they not be2 Docs not common
law and common sense say let every man
raise whatever animals he chooses, but
make him responsible for their proper res
traint either in fences or cages? Would
not such laws simplify matters very much
and save vast amount Of expense and
litigation to the farmers, to say nothing
Of the equanimity it would afford the ju.
deal minds of the country, so often per-
picked about sthe law Of fences?" The
agricultural interests demand "a new de-
parture" from the old Fence law system,
which did well enough so years ago, but
which should now become obsolete. 1t is
my opinion, formed from experience, that
nothing would give greater impetus to
the agricultural interests of the country
than the doing away with all laws in regard
to fences; let the harmless crops have a
full, free breath, and require every man
to be responsible for the good behavior Of
all his animals, from the pet lamb to the
sheep-killing hound.--J T. B. Halifax

Judicious Farming.

Few names in this country are better
known to the reading farmers than that
of John johnson, of Geneva, n. Y. His
main object always was to secure a good
wheat crop as the best paying crop for his
section. Mr.. j. is now SO years old, and
although doing but little in farming, has
left legacy to his adopted country in his
writings and experiments on the cultiva-
ton of his faTorite crop. Mr.. George
Geddes, in late article in the New York
Tribune, speaks Of Mr.. Johnson's method
Of farming to show how lands may be made
very productive. Other crops were grown
with view to promote the yield Of wheat
When he had field of good clover in the
spring, as soon as it got as large as could
be plowed into the ground, he would COM
menee his summer following. During the
following he would spread great quantities
Of manure on the poorer places in the
field. If this land was not needed for
any other crop he would again summer
fallow the year after the wheat was cut,
and thus take a crop of wheat every two
years from the same land, and by the free
use of clover and plaster and yard manure
he constantly increased his crops of wheat.
To provide his yard manure, he would
purchase sheep in the fall and feed them
during the winner on straw, hay, corn and
oil-cake meal, and sell them to the butcher
in the spring. Sometimes he fed as many
as thousand at once, calculating that if
he realized the market value of his corn
and hay, and got his pay back for the oil
cake meal he bought, he did very well,
and had full compensation in the manure,
though he never failed but once in max
ing handsome direct profit on his sheep.
In talking over his methods he win con-
stantly dwell on the Importance Of barn
yard manure, but still, few men have used
clover more than he did. 1t must be re-
memb cred that Mr.. Geddes thinks more
Of clover as fertilizer than he does Of
manure.

How to Catch Moles.

A writer in Moore's Rural NeiC Yorker
says The first thing TO be done is 10 stu
dy this pests habits, for he has undeviat.
ing ones. This, however, viii not require
much time or patience. After one has
acquired this, then the next thing is aeter-
nal vigilance" for without this latter his
precious time is wasted. l have taken II
from one burrow in one morning before
breakfast. / have tried all known and
some unknown ways to exterminate these
pests, but the only sure way is to go to the
burrow, and with the foot press down
about two feet in length of ii. If you
have learned his habits you will be sure to
be there at the time he is busy repairing
damages, which, with me, is as soon in
the morning as you can discover his move
ments. He will be sure to be on hand
either then or near noon, or in the even
ing, or soon after shower Be sure that
the wind Is not passing from yoe over the
burrow remain perfectly quiet while on
duty, for the smallest jar or faintest scent
and your game assumes perfectly quies-
cent state until the hour for his next
movement comes.
The way take the mole from his bur-
row is: first. [ stand four or Eve feet dia
tant, and when his moleship has advanced
8 or 10 inches into the pressed-down part
then, while he is busy at work, | pant my
foot on the top aud little behind the
earth be is moving and take him out with
my hand. Some use hos, but l am
more sure with the foot. In eight times
! missed my mole but once, and this in
my first endeavors. ! now am sure every

The department Of agriculture, by
collecting information about the effects Of
cultivation and the selection Of seed grain,
may greatly improve the yield per acre Of
farm lands, and thus add to the vital e.
sources Of the country. By continuous
selection in England Major Hallctt is said
to have succeeded in four years in increas-
ing the length Of the wheat ear from Al
inches to 81 inches the number Of grains
from AZ to 1873, and the number Of cars
gu finest stool from 10 to 81 The dis
tinetions between varieties Of grasses are
largely based on the number Of flowers
they produce, but che numbers are not
constant and seem 70 vary with their
pedigree, the producfiyeness Of the soil on
which they grow, the season and other
ensironine conditions. On the same plant
there win be eass with different degrees Of
productive power, and selection being made
Of the best ears, superior sigor may be
given 10 plants Of The next season. This,
Ut leasf, i the theory upon which Major
Hallett's experiments we're based The
success Of these experiments led to his

asks why It is that potatoes 50 soon run

are but few potatoesin hill that arc ct

tatoes between stem and seed eud contin-
ually is wrong Il requires the stem and
seed end TO mako perfect seed If cut,
lengthwise. Single eyes win run out any

tOriginal..
Is 1T TRUE /?

The impression seems to be very general,
that the Northern States are better adapted to
agricultural pursuits than the Southern States.
Many seem to think that the lands Of the
Northern and North-W sections Of the
United States are richer and more productive
than the lands of the Southern States. In
the face of this general impression, we have
no scruples in asserting that it can be demon
strated that the very reverse is true. The
North has some advantages over the South,
but they are not agricultural advantages.
The geographical position of the Southern
States, so for as agriculture is concerned, is
equal to any country in the world. The soil
of Maine is poor, and the climate bleak and
cold. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Con-
necticut and New York are admirably adapt
ed, by nature, for engaging in manufacturing
and commercial pursuits but there are many
natural obstacles in the way, which prevent
them from becoming great in agriculture,
when compared with the South. The crops
which can be successfully produced in these
States are few, when compared with those that
may be grown in the Southern States.
In all the Northern States, and in nearly
all the Northwestern States, the season is too
short to raise cotton, rice or sugar. The
summers are short and the winters long and
severe on both man and beast. In large
portion of the Southern States the climate is
mild and healthy, the soil rich and adapted to
great variety of crops. How, then, is it
that we hear so much about large crops and
rich men in the North and Northwest The
answer is readily given. In those sections the
inhabitants work with all their might, they
manure their poor land, and they are econom-
ical. They save everything and waste moth
ing. In the Southern States, the people are
generally lazy, notoriously thriftless and prod
igal. Everything is torn to pieces and des-
troyed that can be destroyed. Field after
field is worn into gullies and turned out
Thus the fertility of our soil and salubrity of
our climate have made US thriftless.
