SEX OF EGGS.

The Fort Gaines Tribune says
that science and experience have
sufficiently demonstrated that every
thing that hears must possess both
the male ard s.the female qualift,a-
siOns but perhaps it is not general
ly known that such is the case with
eggs. / have found by experience
that it is and hy the following rule
| raise as many pullets among my
chickens as 1 wish to. while some of
my neighbors complain that their
chickens are nearly all roosters, and
they cannot see why there should be
a difference. I willatell you here
what | told them, and for the benefit
of those who do not know that the
small, round eggs are female ones,
and the long, slender ones are males.
This rule holds good among all
birds. So if you wish TO raise. pullets.
set the small, round eggs; if you
wish to raise roosters, set the long
slender ones. In this way you will
be able to raise whichever sex you
wish to.

The above comprise some of the
most salient reasons for doing away
with the present burieusome and
almost ruinous system of fences.
Many other arguments might be ad
duced, but it il sufficient to say that
whenever and wherever the expert
ment has been made, the result has
proven equally satisfactory. In every
''no fence" county in Georgia, and
throughout our sister State South
Carolina, but one voice-that of APP
prevails heard; and even the most
pronounced opponents, are now the
fast friends of the measure.
In conclusion it is bu, right and
proper to say that outside of a few
respectable exceptions, the great
bulk of those who advocate the pres
ent fence law are colored voters,
majority of whom have not paid
their taxes, or own nothing subject
to taxation.--H. II. j., IN Telegraph.

have found out that independence
springs from plenty of oats and corn

Fence or No Fence-The Argu-
ment In a Nutshell.


/. II is a matter OF stubborn fact
that large areas of land, embracing
some of our most fertile districts, are
SO nearly denuded of timber that
general contiagration or cyclone
would leave the occupants with
out the means of refencing their
farms.
2. Even where the forests have
no: wholly disappeared, the annual
cost of making new enclosures and
repairing the oldis cause of serious
embarrassment, and not infrequently
absorbs nearly all of the net profits
of the agriculturist.
3. 1t is well-nigh impossible to
persuade or compel tenants 10 keep
up their fences; hence the propri
etor has no security whatever that
his share OF the crops will not fall
a prey to the inroads of struggling
stock.
A. The time required to split, haul
and place the numerous rails requir.
ed for farm, even of moderate di.
mensi0ns, exhausts all the spare in
terval between harvest and spring,
and leaves buS little leisure for any,
thing else.
5 The fence law is an effectual
check to all immigration, as new
comers will not purchase farms which
cannot be enclosed aud kept in op
Grafton, save at q ruinous cash out
lay.
6. Unless our fences are abolished,
the area under cultivation must stea-
Oily decrease, until the county is no
longer able to produce the vegetables
and other field products essential to
the support of dense population
thus causing great distress to the
consumer.
z. The perpetuation of the fence
law must curtail the taxes. and reve-
nues of the conntry, as the abandon
ed lands cannot fail to depreciate in
market value; and this evil will but
increase with the lapse of every year.
8. Do away the fences, and a
period will be placed to the existence
of the wretched, outlawed hogs and
cattle of the community, which earn
a precarious support by depredating
upon the fields and preserves Of the
Industrious agriculturist.
s. mo fence," or its equivalent. a
stock law, will greatly improve the
breed and value of our hogs, sheep
and cattle, as it costs no more to
keep thoroughbred animals than the
runts aud scrubs which invest the
highways of the country.
10. The abrogation of the present
laws will add largely to the products
OF the orchard, field and dairy. bv
the ample tims which every farmer
may atllize in planting out vines and
fruit trees, the collection and manu-
fac'are of home fertilizers and at

his stock.

cate "no fence" because il the move
