The scarcity of timber in the old cotton states
is daily becoming q matter for serious consider
alton. The abolition of fences is perhaps the
most important step in the way of reform that
has been made. You not only do away with the
necessity Of annually providing a large amount
OF the best timber for rails but you get rid of o
great deal of work which it is difficult to get
done. Few freedmen like rail splitting.
Secondly It enables you to reforest your
waste fields. Keep the stock enclosed and the
dogwoOd, Persimmon, hickory nut, walnut,
ohinquapin, black gum and sweet gum will be
gin to make their appearance. Broomsedge,
oriars and other grasses will take possession Of
the soil and bring it into o state of fertility
Time, the great recuperator, will work wonders
for us If we will only study his ways. Every
farmer should strive to reforest his waste lands.
The china berry, the ailanthus, lat much abused

the seed were planted in gullies and waste places
they would soon act as restoratives, shading the
ground by their branches, fcrtilizing il by their
leaves and fruit, and by their roots spreading
out protecting the soil from washing rains.
