The Fence Law.

While it is too early to mention mat
tiers of needed legislation for the con-
sideration of politicians, it is pertinent
to call attention to a subject that can
be discussed with great profit by the
delegates at the coming convention
Of farmers to be held in this city on
the 18th of next month. The question
we would suggest is, the need of
general "fence law"
Timber is yearly growing more ex-
pensive as population and the number
of farms increase, until fencing has be-
come one of the heaviest taxes to the
farmer. New fences are required as
the smaller farming interests expand,
and thousands and thousands of dol
lars are annually expended in building
these, and repairing those which are
continually decaying, burning, falling
to peices and otherwise being destroyed.
The main purpose Of the fence is to
keep stock from tresspassing upon
growing crops Of the different kinds,
and there is almost as much money
spent in erecting these barriers as is
invested in the stock. Along our turn.
pixies and public roads, miles of fenc.
ing, at an expenditure of thousands of
dollars, are built as protection against
the loose cows, hogs and horses which
are turned out to Craze, and yet the
value of all this stock will not amount
to the one-thousandth part of that OF
the fencing required to restrain them
from depreciation.
Land owners, under the existing
law, are being taxed for the benefit
of a few persons who seek to Craze
their stock at the expense of others.
1t would be far cheaper to fence in
stock than to fence all the tillable land
in the state. Some interesting points
might be raised in a discussion of this
subject, and hence we throw out these
suggestions for the consideration of
those farmers who are taking an inter-
est in all matters connected with agri-
culture.

cut rafter or a brace without pat
tern? How many know which turns
the fastest the top of the wheel or the
bottom as the wagon moves along the
ground? How many know how steel

How many know that horse gets

that surveyors mark upon tree never

what tree bears fruit without bloom ?
There is a power of comfort in
knowledge, but boy is not going to
get it unless he wants it and wants it
bad and that is the trouble with most
college boys, they don't want it. They
are too busy and haven't got time.
There is more hope of a dull boy who
wants knowledge than of a genius, for
genius generally knows it all without
study. These close observers are the
worlds benafactors. Men who think
and reason upon every thing they see.

reasons well. Our hill-tops are wash

st. Louis Journal of Agriculture !:
An Ohio man has invented a grain
drill which sows the grain upon the
surface of the prepared ground in
a row six inches broad and covers it by
shovels which throw the surface soil
over it, leaving an open furrow be-
tween the rows Of wheat. His drill
tubes are one foot apart, so that half
the land is occupied with grain and
half with burrows between. By this
method he deepens the soil by placing
the seed at the surface soil and then
putting the surface soil from between
the rows on top of it. The grain is
less apt to be injured by surface water,
and very superior grain is said to be
the result of practice in his new de-
parture.

A late arrival from Hamilton at Cherry
Creek informed the News that the finan-
cial condition Of White Pine county is in
a bad fix. All the old county officers are
in arrears to the county, except Assessor
woodberry and ex.Sheriff Raum. The
Commissioners Of White Pine are to blame
for the existing state of affairs in that
county. We infer from an item publish.
ed by the News some three weeks ago,
that the Treasurer and Auditor of the
county never made any report OF the
financial condition Of the county as re-
quired by law, except when they felt SC
disposed, and the County Commissioners
aided and abatted the officials in the ne
glect of their duty by not complying with
the law themselves, and also not forcing
the officials to comply with the law.

The new process of making iron direct
from the ore, called the Adams process,
is in full operation at the Edgar Thomp.
son Steel Works, and at the Glenwood
Iron Mill. The experiment, which has
been watched with much interest, is con-
sidered to be successful in all respects.
A leading iron manufacturer said, the
other day, that the great difficulty con.
fronting the Adams process was the pos
sibility of making good iron as cheaply as
by the old process of smelling and pud.
ding. In refutation Of the statement, a
gentleman familiar with the old and new
processes, produced figures to-day, show
ing that, while it costs S3S to produce 8
ton Of iron by the old process, the cost o.
the new is only sl7.70. Samples of iror
