Fen cos for Farms

If there is any one part of the
farm that calls for economy of labor
and expense, it is useless and unnec.
essary fencing. The Ohio farmer
has learned the useless expense OF
fencing. and has, Ivy law, banislled
all needless expense Of fencing, ex-
cept for his OWE needs. | write
more for tho farmers Of other States
who have not learned the cost of
fences sufficiently to Danish them.
The fair face of many a fnc farm is
disfigured by unsightly and costly
fences. The day is not far distant
when there win only DO fences
enough for the necessary stock OF the
farm. 1t is an injustice to ask any
one to fence against the public or
against the stock Of others.
The cost is not the only reason for
banishing fences. Tue fence is a har.
'bor for foul weeds, which spread
seeds among crops. making labor for
the farmer. The land occupied by
fences is another great argument
why they should be banished; the
land is of moro value than the fence.
In the older settled parts of the
country it is a question whether it
pays to fence land that can not be
cultivated for what profit can be
had by pasture. | am Of the opinion
that such would pay better if left to
grow up in timber that will be SO
much needed in the near future. ]
think that one acre in ten ought to
be left to grow wood for lumber and
fuel. Do away with fences, and save
all timber possible, especially Of the
valuable kinds. Our forestry asso.
Citations are creating q good senti.
mont against the wholesale destruc.
ton Of timber. In many places much
valuable timber is yearly burned

An English writer urges tho i'm.
portance Of thoroughly airing rooms

return of a family after considerable
absence from home. The shut up

revealed by an odor. Many cases Of
sore throat have been traced to the
neglect Of the precautions mentioned.
