Va have observed that when farm
IL well laid of and managed, 40 M u
make each field and pasture.lot most
productive 1t the least cost of labor
that farm 10 pleasing sight. We may
notice, too, that the majority III oul
farms do not come mp TO that. W.
may, this spring, do much toward cor,
recting losses and improving tho farm
We have inst added Nh aero ~ excel.
lent land 10 one of our fields by very
ANAL outlay Of fencing and labor. The
produce Of that acre in one year will
pay for the outlay. ThiA IN nj bend

moving luck from. changing the old rail
fence, which, Ii easily washed AWAY. IL,
M np.and.down beard and wire fence
which the water may cover and no,
wash AWAY II the fence runs parallel
with the stream. We have Strengthened
our fence row, improved the shape ol
onr field, and added more than an acre
VI valuable ground. One.fourth III thi,
may occasionally overflow, but the fence
will stand, and tho other three fourth,
has been +, deemed from weeds and un
derbrush, and the other fourth will sool
I'LL mp No m 10 not overflow.
A few years SINCE We took in three
acres by similar change of fencing
The result In, wc have about four acres
of land under cultivation Ia the same
field, and yet the shape OF the field /,
40 improved that the labor Of cuitivat
ing the entire field Ii not increased
The fencc-rows are Strengthened, they
are easily kept clean, and the amount ol
fencing In diminished. In addition K
these gains, We have increased the yield

ancc ot tho farm. This In merely p,lg
gcstive. There are not many farms II
the timbcrcd States that have not som,
