COST OF FENCING.
BY Z. l.. GARDENHIRE.

To the Standard
Our fences cost us enormous sums.
Statistics from our last census show
that our fences cost us more than our
dwellings, barns, and all other out
houses. This at first seems startling,
but it is true. If made of wood, they
must be renewed every ten years;
and in the meantime costly repairs
are necessary. If made of stone, freez-
ing throws them down; and the cost
of rebuilding the fallen fences is con-
siderable.
Most of good fencing material has
already been used and destroyed, and
hereafter fencing will be more costly
and less efficient. Bodocke hedges
are costly and require too much at
tention to preserve them and keep
them in shape, and in spite of the
most vigilant attention, they spread
out and occupy many acres of valuH-
bic land (; and the longer they grow
the worse it is.
Tennessee now has millions of dol
lars vested in useless fencing, and we
tolerate the costly nuisance as we do
drunken men, because we have grown
up with it, and never saw it other
wise. But the time has come when
farmers must pause and count the
cost, or we must fence ourselves out
of our homes.
We must see to it, that every man
keeps his stock on his own land. He
has neither the moral nor the legal
right to keep his stock on the land of
others who have paid for the land,
and now pay taxes for it. But here
we encounter the dirty demagoguc,
who will want to know how the poor
man is to pasture his cow if he can't
let it run On another's land, and he
sees plainly that the country will be
ruined if the poor man can't fatten
his COW on land not his own. The
poor man whe has used all his means
to buy the land on which he can live,
must 60 in debt one thousand dollars
more to fence against this same COW,
and then the mean demagogue is
happy.
When one pays for land, neither
poor nor rich have any right to use
it without his consent, whether he
chooses to fence it or not.
Every good farmer now keeps his
stock on his own land. Those turn
ed into the lanes do no good; and
simply are driven by hunger to
learn to break fences and depredate
on the crops of others. Almost with
in sight Of the writer, there are from
six to to ten thousand dollars worth
of fence, OF no use, but to protect our
crops from poor scrub cows, and as
many hogs.
The cost Of repairing would buy
five times the number of brutes, to
say nothing of the annual interest on
the vast outlay; and nothing of the
fact that one-half of it must be Who'll.
ly renewed in five years.
Will farmers thus continue to pay
millions annually to quiet the dis.
honest, shallow-brained demagogue,
who will not be happy unless he is in
the legislature, to see that some mans
COW is fed on some other mans land
We have still more to say or
fences.

The first eggs of the litter are
always the best for Matching. After a
hen has produced twenty or thirty eggs,
in perhaps as many consecutive days,

Oatmeal cakes may be successfully
Kept from crumbling if you add little
wheat -four to oatmeal mush knead it,
and then roll it quite thin and bake for
half an hour in a hot oven. These
must be kept where they will be dry, as
they absorb moisture surprisingly and
are rendered unfit for use by it,

The best site for poultry house is
an elevated one, but where that is not
at hand the ground should be spaded
or plOwed, and the earth thrown
toward the centre. A frame, say 10x12,
will accommodate dozen hens and a
cock nicely. We prefer an earthen
floor, as tits cheaper and healthier than
any other. And it should be raised to
the top of the under printing with dry
road dust, loan and sand, and renewed
-occasionally.-Erchange.
Rough lands can best be utilized by
pasturing. The natural toughness of
the land is subdued in this way, and
the growth of bushes and other unde-
sirable plants kept down by constant
treading and feeding. And stock can
pick about among stumps and stones
where the pillow could not be run.
While the stock is a good thing for the
rough pasture, the rough pasture is not
always the best thing for the stock
