The Fence Question.
,r of The Florida AgriculturiSt:

Editor Of The Ft0Ti0G A9TacunuTtSt:
/ noticed a very reasonable article
from L. A. j., of Jacksonville, ILL.,, on
which ! would say few words. One
of the objections we have to Florida
is it's dense timber that makes the
land so hard to clear. The parts of
Florida I have seen not gonly have
good fencing material Ito fence the
lands of settlers separately and into
any sized tracts desired" but also suf-
ficent good timber to put floor in
any sized clearing | have seen. The
no fence writer's impose upon L. "A.
j., when they say that fence rails will
not last longer than FIVE or seven
years. / have traded for some rails
that were split eight years ago, to be
used in trellis in vineyard, would
not use them if was not certain they
would not last ten years longer. A
good fence rail will last at least thirty
years. They are at sea when they
say that penning stock will lessen the
number of'rods OF fencing in Florida.
We do know that we can fence our
little clearings, and then let our stock
run at large on the miles of unoccupi
ed land. While if we pen our cattle,
we would have to fence pastures con.
siderably larger than our little clear
ings to keep few cattle. 1t will res
ouire better fence to keep cattle in
than it will to fence them out, as we
all know who have anything TO do
with them. They under rate the
Florida cattle, judging what they say.
They evidently. know nothing about
cattle. Money invested in cattle will
double in value every three years.
We have one of Mr.. Fosters shot
gun scholars here. He shot my old
6rind!e COW, and broke her toreleg.
Why is it those no fence men do not
have the rich spots they speak OF, we
do not hinder them. l am thinking
they are not so generous as the Irish
man, when he was asked, what In the
world are you fencing that poor piece
! of land for, why COW would sGarve

A Valuable Diamond.

When the Khedive of Egypt sent q
diamond necklace as a wedding pres
ent to Miss Minnie sherman, fashion
able New Workers grew envious of the
fair daughter of the General of Uncle
Sans armies; and yet more elegant
gem than the combined diamonds in
the Khedive's gift came to this city un-
heralded few months ago, and, with
the exception of few people, has re-
manned in its case unadmired. 1t is
valued at 100000. Hundreds of years
ago this brilliant was famous in India,
and was known as the pearl of India.
At the beginning of the present centu-
ry it belonged to Rajah in India.
Accounts Of its great beauty coming
to the ears of the Vicerov of Egypt he
sent a special commission to the Rajah
to negotiate for its purchase. The
commission was successful. Shortly
after it had come into the possession
of the Viceroy his favorite daughter
was married to the Sultan. and the
pearl of India constituted one of her
wedding presents. Since then it has
remained in the keeping of the inn
perial family of Turkey until pur-
chased recently by a New York firm.
This gem has no superior in Ameri-
ca, and is claimed to be the most ele-
CANT ever seen anywhere. 1t is an old

What Does a Pound Of Butter Cost !

In order that our dairymen may be
prompted to figure for themselves what
pound of butter costs them, give a
little paragraph setting forth the cost
under eastern conditions. BY changing
the factors to meet local prices for
feed, ETC., conclusion can be reached
nearer the truth than rough guesses
usually attain. The eastern writer
says:
''The most costly food for COW is
hay and corn meal and wheat mid
dlings. With hay cent a pound, and
corn and middlings at L cents, it will
cost to feed COW, Is cents for hay and
y cents for meal per day-in all 222c.
A COW that will make $50 pounds of
butter in year will cost at least $50.
She will repay her own cost in calves
and her carcass when II years old; so
that pay for her feed will cost $S1 year
ly, if it is purchased, and if it is provi-
ded by the farm it comes to the same
end, for the fed might be sold; and
against this there are $50 pounds of
butter, worth, at the market price, for
the best quality, about $50 net. Now,
what should this butter cost? IF the
COW is at pasture for six months of the
year, the pasture will be worth, at $50
an acre for the land and four acres to
the COW, liz interest alone, IS 40; taxes
will add at least 81 more than that, and
the cost of the grass will be at least 81
an acre more; so that, with the winter
feeding, the cost will be in all, $53 80,
and the skinned milk. and manure
may pay for the labor Then, can a
pound of yutter be made for less than
% cents? and if not, the dairyman is
likely to be troubled about the high
price of four per cents. But what of
the dairyman whose COWS will make
but $50 pounds of butter in year, and
whose butter causes the nose of the
commission man to turn upward
How do they live and how much do
they earn per day ?"

Telling Each Others Faults.

The Boston Post tells of West End
husband and wife who agreed to sit
down and have quiet chat. Each
agreed that people are blind to their
own faults; SO they made an agreement
that each should be perfectly frank, and
in friendly way tell the other his or
her faults, so they could help each
other to correct those faults and APP
proach perfection. 1t was their duty to
help each other to attain that state. So
they began, and in less than ten min
utes the neighbers began to take an in
terest in the transaction. and stood
around and cheered to see the husband
come flying down the front steps hat
less, with his coat torn, his hair dishev-
eled, and he making desperate efforts
to keep out of reach of pair of tongs
in his wife's hands. It always works
ust that way.
