The communication IN yoCr paper from Hon.
Fabius Miles. reminds me Of some experiments
made in Antwerp twenty-five years ago. An
eastern man, rather visionary, moved on new
farm, and after some time spent n laying plans,
selected a suitable spot, surrounded by woods,
fitted and planted it with corn, but without en-
closing it with fence. Before il came up the
hogs paid him a visit, and IT was gone. Ten
years later his successor. with the same notons,
fitted his ground near the same place, with
roads on two sides OF it, threw down a few
brush where the fence should have been issued
no proclamation warning of intruders, and pa
tien.ly waited the result. When the corn began
10 grow the cattle came along, walked over the
brush and left nothing. Later still, Mr. V. stood
sentinel, with his Watchdog. over breach in
his road fence. After few weeks trial he
closed the gap IN the fence, concluding il I'D
not pay. Since then the no-fencs theory j. al

elections where is advocates were badly beaten.
Not satisfied with the result they quietly crcu-
