The NO-Fence Question.

Mirror
The larger portion of Georgia has
been settled within comparatively
recent period. In the first settlement
of a country the cost Of fencing is not
felt, as the timber cut down in clear
ing only requires tosbe split into rails
on the spot where it has fallen, and
can be readily transported 10 other
parts OF the plantation. But as the
country grows older and the wood
land diminished, the fences rapidly
decay, and the cost Of rebuilding is
felt as serious tax. AS time pro-
crosses the question naturally comes
up. Why should the fields require
to be fenced? The answer is, of
course, to protect the crops from des'
tructlon by stock. But whose stock?
And why should anybody have the
right of turning out their domestic
animals to destroy other peoples
stock ? These questions are now be-
ing discussed as matters of vital
interest to the planters OF South Car.
DINA and Georgia. The plea for
liberation OF cattle grazing at large
is that they belong to poor people,
and that they can Craze on the public
lands, and that it would be great
hardship to deprive the poor stock OF
this privilege. To this 1t is replied
that 1t is a very great hardship upon
the people who plant crops to be
obliged to protect their crops at an
enormous cost tor fencing, to allow
a lot OF poor and lifted cattle to run
out, the fencing being many times
the value OF the cattle. 1t is alleged
moreover, with great truth, that
stock cattle running out are of
very little value to their owners
compared to cattle which are kept
up, led and cared for and that it is
really no benefit, even 20 the stock
owner, TO have his cattle run out.
That it only perpetuates low grade,
halt-starved and impoverished grade
of cattle, stunted in size, lean and
feshless, without any value for the
butchers stall or tor dairy use; those
countries where cattle are fed and
tattened for market, produce much
greater numbers and make far greater
profit than the pineY, barren stock
countries; all of which must be adj
mitted to be true.
1t is difficult subject to legislate
upon, because CANDIDATES tor the leg>
isIature are unwilling 10 encounter
The probable opposition OF the STOCK
owners. Local option has therefore
been resorted to, and in many
counties in South Carolina and Georg.

ing cattle to be kept up under pen.

This law will, doubtless, prevail gen.

GUS burden.

A New Fibre.

The Louisville Courier-.Toetg7aoZ
gives the following description OF a
new material for use in baggiug and
rope manufacture which has been
exhibited i'll that city: This beauti.
tal, strong, clean fibre is produced
from the plant known in this State
as beargrass, aud further south as the
Spanish dagger. The family of
yucca contains about a dozen varie-
Ties, all stout, strengthened plants,
and has been used i'll Kentucky time
out of mind tor hanging meat while
curing In the smoke.houses. This
family OF plants is known as beau~
titul and abundant bloomer; long,
tough, pointed tibrous leaves. This
plant is omnipresent every where in
the South, south of forty degrees
north latitude. This plant is another
item in the long list OF the untold
resources OF the South. It's fibre is
as strong as hemp or jute. and al~
most as indestructible as iron, except
by the action of fire. Some OF its
advantages may be briefly summed
up: The plant grows more than one
hundred years; loses less than one>
:enth in cleaning; it is the strongest
coarse fibre in the world; will not
shrink when 1t gets wet in rope;
yields largely; requires no cultivation
after the Thru year; is worth ten to
fifteen cents per POUND when cleaned,
and grows spontaneously everywhere
south OF thirty one degrees"

Grape Culture.

The following Dr1ef, practical and
condensed rules for the management
Of grapes were given by DR.. Whit
ing at the Farmers Institute. recent.
ly held at Saginaw, Michigan:
The soil best suited for the grape
is decomposed shale. but any good
clay soil thoroughly drained will
do.
The ground should be carefully
prepared, and only well-rotted mans
ure used.
Decomposing turf is one OF the
best fertilizers; when it can be OBJ
tanned, no other will be required.
The vines selected for planting
should be good one. year~old layers
or cuttings. They may look small,
but will make the best vines.
Good culture is as necessary to
the vine as TO corn or cabbage.
Mulching and watering the first
year should not be neglected if
drou;h is excessive. One good soak.
ing is better than many sprinklings.
More water can be saved with a
hoe than can be put on with sprink-
Ter.
In planting, cut the vines back to
two buds, whatever its strength or
age.
Summer pruning consists IN pinch
ing of weak and struggling shoots
in order to confine the sap to the
tho main branches.
The first summer allow but one
main shoot TO grow. In the fall,
after The first frost, cut all the sum-
mer growth back to within two buds

Use Coarse Salt.

A French cook never will use for
seasoning OF his dishes the fine white
salt which we find in our salt>sellers
at the dinner table. He insists that
1t gives his EIatS coarse, harsh taste
which is not pleasant, and that, in
addition to this, it hardens the food,
or, if used for vegetables, it takes
out the color, as in boiling green peas
or string beans. More than that,
there are many true gastroLo mers
who will insist outright that the fine
dessicated, chemically, pure sodic chic
ride in use at table, and employed du>
ring the meal to increase the sadness
OF the TODD, will spoil what they are
eating. In France this idea is carried
out by many persons, and special
salt>cellars are put on table filled
with coarse salt. 1t is quite certain
that in preparing dishes for table,
cooks who are distinguished in their
art never will use anything else than
a coarse salt, and undoubtedly there
are good reasons for doing so. 1t is
evidently the refining of the salt, de-
priving it OF its water OF capitalization
which changes its taste and quality,
and does not make it as good for
cooking as more common, coarser
or impure salt.

made vigorous growth, few stems
OF grapes may be allowed to mature,
but better take off all the fruit than
to suffer too much TO grow.
Too heavily bearing while young
will weaken the vine for all future
time; the trimming now depends on
what kind of trellis you wish to cover.
After you nave obtained good
vigorous root, you can make it grow
III almost any place or shape you
wish, by keeping the branches de.
sired tied up, and all the others
pinched back.
Each year few OF the strongest
branches should be allowed to grow
as bearers of fruit The following year.
In trimming, cut away as much of
the old wood as possible, and save
the new, as all the fruit buds are on
the new wood.
You can easily tell how much to
cut away by holding your new wood
up to the trellls and imagine a
branch with three stems OF grapes
tor each bud.
Ii you do mol cut off enough in
the tall, aud you find that the vine is
going to be TOO thick, don't tail to
atteud to it when new shoots are
from three to SIX inches long, in the
spring, or while in blossom. AS soon
as the fruit is set examine the vine,
spread out the new wood, SO that
each bunch OF grapes will hang tree
and clear; pick off all the small stems
OF fruit, and tasten the vines secures
ly SO that the wind will not destroy
your crop by breaking the young
and tender branches.
When the wood has grown SO that
there are three leaves beyond the
last bunch OF grapes, examine the
vine, select the branches you wish to
save for fruit bearing the coming
year, and keep them tied up until
they have grown as long as you wish
to make use OF. The ends OF the
other branches should be pinched off
as soon as they reach this point,
