WASTE IN FENCES.

A contributor of the "Home and
Farm" says that during the last twen-
ty years he has greatly reduced the
cost of fencing on his farm, and has
come to the conclusion that half the
money spent for fences is wasted. He
has saved the most from reducing the
amount of inside fencing. His farm
contains ninety acres, and he has
thrown sixty acres of it into one field,
and has not turned an animal on it for
twenty years. The writer says: ~
have found ii easier to keep this land
up TO high state of productiveness
than if l had pastured it. rely
largely on clover TO fertilize it, and in
most seasons, by not pasturing after
harvest, / can get as heavy a growth
OF clover as those farmers who pasture
their young clover after harvest do in
the following June. consider that
this land grows three crops in every
two years, for get one of corn and
one of wheat, and clover crop which
grows after the wheat crop is cut, and
which believe to be worth, on an
average, as much in proportion to
cost as the grain crops. find tn 8
! land is improving under this rotation.
E, The idea that all the land on the farm
must be pastured and every fence
made hog tight, has cost our farmers
millions of dollars" This writer
recommends, if the farmer wishes tc
have some clover pasture, or to pas
ture portion of his large field, thai
! he get good portable fence (like that
advertised in the New England
Farmer. With this. he can tempo
rarily fence off portions of his field
Clover managed in this way will no

furnish more feed than if always KEEP

as hot, dry weather approaches, an
this will give them a chance to groN
up again for fall pasture. The portabl
fence gives an opportunity to fence o
portions OF the pasture to have a chanc
