In the Days of Hoeing Corn.
[Cor. Rural Home

In my boyhood, to be an expert hanc
with the hoe was a fine accomplishment,
and to this end the beginner was allowed
to hoe one hill and skip the next, was
taught to change hands, cut and cover
weeds and grass, haul in the corners and
round off a hill in the neatest manner. In
hoeing, the great points that marked the
native born Yankee from the foreigner
just over, were the erect posture, the ease
with which he changed hands, rapidity Of
execution and superior workmanship. TC
see a man just over hoeing from morning
till night, with hands in the same position
and body all doubled up, beside an expert
presented a great contrast, and their wori
still greater.
In my boyhood the farmer led his mel
and showed them how he wished hi
work done. In those days we had q Gus
tom Of changing works which PROVED
genuine training schools for farm hands
and many the trial of skill the writer ha
had hoeing, shearing, reaping, moving

hand, and developing in nan great en-
durance, rapidity Of execution, and fir

SIX MILLION MILES or FENCE
Costing g. 900, 600, OOO-A Brief History
OF Fence-Building.
Augusta Me.) Cor. Boston Herald.l


OF Fence.BHilding.
Augusta Me.) Cor. Boston Herald.l
According to the best estimates, there
are 5000, 900 miles of farm fences in the
United States, costing over 80, 900, 000,-
000. In many states the fences on q farm
cost more than the buildings standing on
II, and that, too, where lumber is abund-
ant and cheap. The amount of labor and
money consumed annually in building
and repairing fences-few are aware Of It
is just so much taken from the product
i've interests of the country.
Both law and custom prescribe fencing.
1t is an ancient tradition. The Plymouth
colonies in Massachusetts, gave us the
first fencing known in this country in
1882. They were erected to protect
planted crops against damages from crea-
lures going at large. 1t was said before a
meeting of the American Institute Farm
er's club at New York, in 1859, that the
farmers in this country were educated
under the system Of fences; under the no.
ton that a man is bound to protect his
property by fencing out the world, that
the law has no power, and that there is
no general respect for the right of prop
erty, but that you must fence out all in
truders, and guard your property with
walls and fences
1t is all founded on fiction. The law
does protect a mans property. His real
estate and its products are his, and,
whether fenced or unfenced, they lie
under protection Of the law. In continue
ton of this matter the correspondent says
that most of our New England farms ar,
inclosed with fences-straight, crooked,
and irregular-good, bad, and indifferent.
Most farms are so subdivided as to resem-
BILE a checker board, Everything seems
to be fenced. The fences are almost as
varied as they are abundant The Virginia
rail fence is the pioneer; then the log
fence, stone wall, stump fence, pitch pole
fence, worm fence, and the post and rail
fence.
Not less than four feet in height con.
stitutes the lawful fence. Stone wall is
the main fence in Maine and Massachu.
sets, and perhaps in Connecticut also.
Maine also has the rail and the board
fence and the bush fence. Rail fences
are the cheapest. The roots and stumps
OF large trees, set up edgewise, make
most effective fences. The stone wall
would last forever, if it were we'll and
carefully laid in the first place and the
frost did not play havoc with it. AS
commonly built, the stone wall will keep
out all kinds of stock except sheep Il
is insisted that stones could be more
cheaply disposed of than by laying in
wall form.

ENGLAND is filled with excitement
at the revelations Of the Pail Mall
Gszette over the ruin wrought among
girls of tender age. The laws seem
to afford no protection whatever to
females in that respect in that country.
The English boast OF the highest
civilization and the best government
in the world. In respect to treating
the evil alluded to, the Southern States
of America far surpass England and
perhaps any other civilized country on
the globe. There is a custom in the
South stronger than any law, which
affords almost perfect protection to
females even in the poorest families.
That custom is for a male relative to
kill any one who seduces or wrongs
any female Of his family. A mar il
this country is not only protected in
that course, but he is considered a con-
temptible sneak if he does not take it,
if there is occasion for it. A Win
chester rifle, or a double barrel shot
gun, is the best remedy for the evil of
which England now complains, and we
suggest it be tried over there instead
of any law that can be devised.
The crime is far worse than murder,
and the remedy is entirely justifable.
The best society in the world endorses
it as the best protection to virtue.
