FENCES NO. 4.
BY +. l.. GARDENHIRE.

Our insect enemies multiply as fast
when we have no fences as otherwise.
Birds do not, and birds destroy mil
lions of worms and bugs, that would
otherwise do us much injury. If we
had no cattle in the woods, a great
number of trees would grow up, and
afford shelter for birds; they would
multiply and clear our fields of our
insect pests to great extent. This is
important, though seemingly small.
If every owner of stock must keep
it on his own land, he would soon see
that it is his interest to soil his stock.
BY soiling, we mean cuttingand feed
ind green food to stock. BY soiling,
five times the number of stock may
be kept on any given amount of land
and better kept too.
Secondly: Manure may be saved
by in large quantities, to enrich the
poorer parts of the farm; and thus
the whole farm will be brought to a
same height, to a high and profitable
state of cultivation.
The time and trouble Of soiling
may be made an objection. There is
nothing in the objection. 1t requires
time and trouble to take hay from
the stack or barn loft, and if the far
mer prepares well for soiling, he may
cut, load and bring it from the field
as quickly as he can from the hay
loft or stack, and that fresh from the
field is fifty per cent better. 1t must
be remembered too, that the labor of
curing and storing in the barn or
stack is saved, and none of the grass
used in soiling need be lost by reason
ofrain.
The farmer is paid for keeping his
stock at home and soiling. 1st. In
the large amount of manure saved
2nd, one acre keeps as much stock as
five in pasture; 3rd, one acre only, is
to be prepared and fenced instead Of
five acres, which is a large saving
even in fence; 18th, the animals
grow and thrive better, and com.
mand the quickest and best market
Keeping stock on ones own land
means more and better stock, with
less expense, and consequently more
thrift and comfort. He, who grows
stock by soiling, needs scarcely any
fence, unless the low, dirty dema,
gOgue, some cogging, cozening slave
to get some office, determines that
the poor farmer must fence all his
land at any cost, or lose its reasona-
BILE profits.
1t is time to wake up from this
ruinous fencing dream. We owe il
to ourselves and to our prosperity, a>
we have no right to destroy the
country to be left to our children,
Will not farmers speak out? not in
whispers, but in tones of thunder
that they may be heard and obeyed

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE

When nothing more prominently
presents itself to be talked or written
about, there is always one ever
varying, butstill ineXhaustible theme,
and we suppose that even Adam and
Eve, to while away monotonous
hours in the garden of Eden must
have discussed-the weather. At
Nashville Sunday last was as bright
and fair a day as the most ardent
lover of spring could wish. At Louis
vile at midnight snow was falling in
almost a binding sheet, and Cincin-
natl at daylight Monday morning
had about six inches of "the beauti-
full" There was also a constant fall
of snow at Cincinnati during most of
the forenoon of Monday. -Four good
horses had almost all they could do in
moving a loaded street car in six
inches of snow. The society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals for
bids the use of salt on the street car
tracks here in Cincinnati for the pur-
pose of melting the snow. The salt
mixed with the snow forms freezing
compound which is said to be very
injurious to the feet of the horses.
Nevertheless, where the street rail
road companies could get the salt on
the tracks without being detected by
any of the agents Of the society, it
was used, otherwise the snow had to
be shovelcd of.

to the Nashville Union is the latest
intelligence we have which is very
unfavorable: "The Courier Journal

to note that Mr.. Waterson's condition
at midnight was not what had been
hoped for. He passeda restless day
yesterday, talking a great deal more
than was good for him, the result
being an increase in unfavOrable
symptoms. Atmidnight his temper
ture was l02 1-5, pulse 1l6, respiration

rum, and in other ways showed the
unfortunate effects of the brain activi-

malady is such that quiet is absolute

such lapses rs that of yesterday, and,
while this is distressing, it is not of
necessity serious. Wedonot despair,
