HERD LAW.

EDITOR REGISTER In your paper
last week notice an article from MIR. ID.
C. Adams and one from "CentenniaP' in
favor of a herd law. think MIR. Adams
is right as to our having as good land in
Allen county as there is in any other
county in the State, bat l don't believe
a herd law can make it any better. He
also says we have not got the timber to
fence with and to buy lumber is too ex-
pensive, and unless we have herd law
he is afraid his children will not be able
to settle around him. Now let me say
to them that underlying the surface in
this county is an abundance of stone
which can be got at without much cost
and it will make better and more dura-
able fence than rails or plank. In reply
to the intimation that herd law
would make our county look like the
garden of Eden, would say that l farm
ed in herd law county one season, and
instead of looking like the garden Of Eden
it looked the most like no place ever saw.
Now in reference to those six non-herd
herd law men mentioned by 'Centen-
NAL" who he says will be at such great
expense in building and repairing fences,
we would suggest that they keep their
sixteen steers and put in one-half of their
time working for food and clothing and
the other half building stone fences, and
at the end of six or seven years it would
be quite apparent as to whose farms were
worth the most.
Iwould like for herd law men to tell
me how they can stock farm without
fencing it, and what farm is worth
without Improvements or stock. The
men who give their time and attention,
in addition to raising stock, to securing
good, permanent fences will in time be
much more conveniently situated and
have farms that are more valuable than
those who herd their stock and farm
without fencing. J. l.. b.

HERD LAW.

EDITOR REGISTER your last issue
l see an article from centennial" in
which he says, "allow me to make furth-
er remarks on the twelve farmers, friend
Cook spoke Of" and then he proceeds to
make comparisons in herd law county
with twelve farmers, and supposes them
to have twelve steers each, and then
tells what each might do. l will say to
Centennial that the statistics of nearly
all of the herd law counties show that
they don't hare the cattle to herd and
realize a good profit on as he states. Now
what is the use of theorizing and telling
what might be done when statistics and
experience shors us it is not the case
and that people don't do it. And the
simple reason of their not doing it shows
it does not pay to do it.
The advocates of herd law tell us II
they haven't as much stock in a herd
law county they have more grain, and
a greater immigration than there Is in
the non-herd law counties. Now we
will go into facts and figures and COM
pare Neosho and Wilson counties, as
there was only a years difference in
their organization, and the area of each
county is the same :-Neosho county was
organized in 1864 and in 1870 had a pop
ulation of lO,2O6, and in 1864 she had a
population of 1924. Increase since
1870, LIS; cultivated acres 1854
decrease of cultivated acres during the
year, 36,S77. Report of State Board Of
Agriculture for 1874, (page 1907. VIII
son county was organized in 1865 and in
1870 had population Of 1904 and in
1874, 1874; increase since 1870, 1854;
cultivated acres, $500; value of prod
ucts, 765, 225. Now you can see that in
four years Neosho county's increase In
population was LIS and during the
same time the increase in Wilson county
was 2,67S which gives Wilson county an
increase of 1,16O more than the increase
of Neosho. Neosho county in 1874 had
1924 Inhabitants and Wilson county
1874, and Wilson county with her g.,
374 inhabitants cultivated 1882 acre:
and the products was worth s765, 226
And Neosho county with her ll,324
inhabitants cultivated 70,670 acres and
her products were worth $744, 1874. And
during the same year Wilson county
had 15,O36 head of cattle and NecsRo
county 1901. In 1873 Wilson county
had 1876 and Neosho county 15,465
Now you see that Neosho county lost in
cattle $50 head and Wilson county, in
creased 1920 head during the same time
In 1874 Neosho county had 1850 horses
25S mules and asses, $50 sheep, Z, is:
head of swine. And Wilson county had
800 horses, 36l mules and asses, 1,76l
sheep and l0,S50 head of swine. Ant
by referring to the above figures vol
will see that Wilson county has more
stock of every description than Neosht
county. And also cultivated more acre.
of land and raised more grain and hat
the greatest emigration. No comment
needed. X. Cook,

EDITOR REGISTER MIR. Cook in his
answer to my communication of the 4th
inst, says, she is surprised that any
man in Allen county would make the
assertion that there are not twenty-four
quarter-sections in Allen county, on
which e pool can be made that will
afford sufficient water for all the stock,
a quarter-section can carry" For an
anti herd law man the surprise is quite
natural, yet his wonder and surprise
does not affect the truth of the state
ment. have Travelled over Allen coun-
ty a great deal in the last eight years,
and am we'll satisfied that l have not
yet found one dozen quarter-sections
where such pool cannot be made. Mr..
C. does not say that such pools cannot
be made, but is only surprised at the
assertion. Now the proof of the pud-
ding is in the eating. Can he point out
single instance where the attempt to
make pool has resulted in failure! l
think not. My statement that his (Cs.)
figures and illustrations were not to the
point is not disproved at all in his
article of Jan. Ist, he says, "the person
that raised and fed the 16 steers has
first produced $3.50 out of the grass, and
that has made market for ], 200 bushels
of corn, that will bring him $3.50 more,
making in all $500. His neighbor who
is laboring under the disadvantages OF a
herd law, would get $40 for his 1000
bushels of corn" Now 1 assert, (even at
the risk of surprising Mr.. CO. that nine
out of every ten of the farmers Of Allen
county, blessed as she is in having no
herd law, are not at this time and will
not for years be able to get together
those 16 steers, and feed them, but are,
and will be compelled to sell their grain
to spectators, who will make the profits
And so according to his own showing a
majority of the farmers will be as well
off so far as selling produce is concerned,
with herd law as without; while it i:
the speculator who will be the loser, ii
we get herd law. But l do not, and
never have based my belief in favor Of
a herd law on the increase or decrease OF
stock in a given county. l do not con
slider that the poiut is, "does the herd
law discourage stock raising" but it Is
this: Is herd law measure OF equa
and exact justice to all? If the princl
pie of the herd law is founded upon jus
tice and if as 1 am fully convinced oppo
sition to the herd law is only anothe
name for tyrrany and oppression, theI
we should have herd law, even if i
does pinch the toes of oar cattle dealers
(not growers). l asked the opponent
of the herd law to let US hear somethin.
about the justice of their side OF tn
question. Mr.. G. utterly ignores tina
point. Are we to understand that tn
opponents of the law concede that w
have justice and principle on our side
while they only have policy? B.
