FENCES AND FENCE LAws.-Judging
from the discussions of our Farm Clubs,
We may suppose that farmers are begin
ming to realize that the true Office of out
side fences is not 10 keep out the stock Of
a neighbor, but to restrain our own. As
Il result of this idea we see that laws pre-
venting stock of any kind from running at
large in the highways are gaining in form,
and the area over which they extend is
increasing every year, 1t is a mistake to
suppose, as many do, that the fruit and
grass growing between the fences of a
public highway Of right belong TO the
public. The public have only the right 0
passage over the ground, but have no
right to its products, which belong to the
owner OF the adjoining farm. As soon as
the traveller or the stock of the farm
diverge on either side Of the legal limits
of the road, they become trespasses to the
| full extent Of the term. In strict equity il
is no excuse that there was no fence, for as
b, fore stated, fences are to keep the pro.
prietor's stock within bounds, and moi
keep the others out. 1t takes long time
for us to get rid of the.idea that "a lega
fence " must tie horse high, bull proc
and hog tight" Sooner or later we will
arrive at point when every farmer will
be the Judge of the quality of his owr
fences, or in fact whether he will fence a
all.
Much has been said of the injustice ant
cruelty of the law which prevents til,
poor man from turning his COW out in the

POULTRY AND Potato BEETLEs.-A
CORES pondent in Moores Rurat says; In
regard to the question which has lately
been discussed in this paper, as to whether
poultry will eat potato beetles, l wish 10
say that my fowls have for some time been
fed once u day with potato beetles, which
they devour readily and with evident
relish.
Owing to the depradatioDs which my
hens perpetrated in the garden, they have
been shut up for several weeks. The pc
tato beetles are gathered and carried tC
the hen.hous alive. see no reason why
they are not as wholesome as grasshop
pers and insects in general. At any rate
the hens are doing finely, and lay as wei
rs they usually do at this season Of thu
year.
Others, in this vicinity, are disposing o
beetles in the same manner and with SINH
lar results.

HAY CAPs.-We were much surprised
on a recent trip among the hay-makers in
this vicinity, to find so many small farm
ers who had never tried the efficacy of hay
caps. We have never seen a farmer who
had used them one season ready to aban-
don them at even twice their first cost.
The producer of moderate means, he who
is obliged to do his work mostly with his
own hands, unaided by hired help, who is
unable TO avail himself of the most i'm
proved machinery for Fastening the har'
vestng of the hay crop, he is the man Of
all others who needs Il few hay caps to as
sist him in showery weather or to protect
his crop from dew and dampness. The
present exceedingly low price of cottor
cloth should be another inducement for al
immediate investment in few hay caps

On Saturday, the 9th ult., the little town
Of Williamson was overrun with wagons,
men, horses, mules and oxen, and cOnse-
quentiy the platform and its surroundings
were covered TO oYcrflowing with cotton.
According to actual count there were I27
bales OF that STAPLE brought in and sold

say rather given away for gunno. Alas!
for our hard-working farmers, instead of
enjoying the proceeds OF their hard-carned
labor themselves and paying for rations
with which they have been supplied in or
der to make this cotton, TO be compelled to
send 1t to those guano companies. Itwould
be far better for them to make more fcrtil-
izers at home and use less from abroad. In
the afternoon of the same day there was an
auction Of goods held at the store Cf Mr.. G.

made, both good and bad Monday, the

interesting part OF the exhibition, per-
