Fences.

We are glad to have the authority and in
fluence of so admirable paper as the New
England Farmer upon our side in matter to
which we have frequently alluded. 1t cites
the absence of fences as one of the pleasant
est features of the landscape at the Massachu-
sets Agricultural college it notes that in the
villages of that state and in Connecticut the
owners of some of the finest places have
moved their street fences, and that whenever
this has been done the appearance of the
premises has been decidedly improved. The
secretary of the New Hampshire board of ag-
riculture, having turned his attention TO this
matter, finds that in Rhode Island every one
hundred acres of land require 1000 rods of
fence The length in New Hampshire is
something less. But in New Hampshire the
cost of the fences is S42, OOO, 900. This is the
original cost; the annual cost of repairs is a
considerable tax. But it is to be considered
that the fences and stone walls of New Eng
land are not kept in repair. In very many
cases they are not only no protection against
the inroads of animals, but they are an eye
sore TO every thrifty person.
The question for the rural population is
whether it would not be ever so much cheaper
to fence in than to fence out That is, to
fence the permanent pastures, where perlna-
nent pastures are possible or desirable with
due regard to rotation Of crops and by law
prohibit the running Mt large OF animals.
There is no question as to this. As a matter
of statistics, it costs more to protect the crops
from animals than the animals are worth.
In some of the new states, where timber is
scarce they have begun agricultural life on
the basis of fencing in. There is no difficulty
in the case. and the profit is as clear as it is
important.
But it is not with view TO the farmer, so
much as respects the Villagers that We have
considered this topic In village, all the
elements are in favor Of the innovation The
fences cost more in the first place; the eX-
pense of painting in order TO keep up the
proper aspect of thrift is nearly annual, and
certainly large. There are, or ought to be,
no animals running in the streets. The open
ness of view in the absence of fences would
contribute to the appearance of space. The
same or One-tenth of the same expenditure
for shrubs and plants would make q village
an Open-air conservatory. We neither shut
out passers-by by a high wall, as do the Eng
lush, nor do we enjoy freely and permit 9th
ers to enjoy the space we have, rs do tn,
French and the southemers. We go to grea
trouble TO guard against purely imaginary
evil, and We do not go far enough to Obtain
any substantial privacy. There is neither ne
cessity for nor consistency in our action. -

MAKE THE HORSES WoBK.-Horscs were de-
signed rs beasts of burden, TO relieve man
kind from fatiguing drudgery. 1t does not
hurt them to work hard if they are treated
kindly. 1t is not the hard drawing and pom
derous loads that wear out horses and make
them poor, balky and worthless but it is the
hard driving, the worry by rough and inhu-
man drivers that uses up more horsehesh,
fat and muscle than all the labor a team per
forms. Consider the ponderous londS that
many teams are required to cart every day,
and several times day, and yet they appear
to grow fatter and stronger every year. They
are treated kindly. On the other hand, 9TH
er horses, that do not perform half the labor,
soon grow poor, and give out, snd the next

KEEPING EGGs-A farmer who has given
much attention to raising eggs for market
publishes the following as his method of pre-
serving them My mode of preparation was
to yamish the egg as soon after they were
laid as possible with a thin copal varnish,
taking care that the whole of the shell was
covered with yarnish. l subsequently found
that by painting the eggs with fresh albumen.
beaten up with little salt, they were preserv-
ed equally as well and for as long period.
After vanishing or painting with albumen,
lay the eggs upon rough blotting paper as /
found that when allowed to rest till dry upon
plate or on the table the albumen stuck so
fast TO the table or plate as to take away
chip out of the shell. This is entirely obvi-
ated by the use of plotting paper. pack
these eggs in dry bran" BY this means, he
says, the eggs were preserved so perfectly
that after six months, when brought to the ia
BILE, they were mistaken for fresh laid eggs,
and he thinks they can be kept good for a
year
