MONEY IN FENCES.

Until one attempts to estimate the val
ne in cash of the fences on a single farm.
and then multiplies this by the hundreds
OF thousands of farms in the country, he
can have little idea of the magnitude of
this tax. One who has been figuring on
this subject concludes that the amount of
capital invested in farm fences in the
nlted States alone reaches the immense
aggregate of $1,000 GOO, 900. and that the
construction of new fences and the re-
newal of old ones involves an. outlay of
no less than 5000 GOO, 900 annually. It is
difficult to fix an approximate idea of
what immense sums as these represents.
but some conception of this enormous in
vestment may be formed upon the fact
that it nearly equals the capital stock of
all the railroads of the country, while
the annual expense almost parallels the
entire revenue of the national govern
ment.
With these figures staring him in the
face it becomes the farmers privilege
and duty to tighten his share OF the bur-
den as much as possible. He may do
this in various ways, such as dispensing
with or refusing to rebuild fences not abb
solutely necessary, simplifying or cheap
ening the fences he must have, or making
more permanent and effective the new
! fences he makes. He should not fail to
remember that the great amount of lum-
Der used in the old-fas hioned fences rep
resents money. as the lumber they con-
tain might be turned into cash today.
which was not the case fifty or one hun
/ dred years ago. He should construct
such fences as do not cumber the ground.
y fence that you can work right up to
with the reaper or wheeled pillow saves for
cultivation quite an area on single farm.
The combined wire and picket fences
woven to the posts are the best all-pur-
pose fences now in existence. 49, Stock

the selection offered does not appeal very
strongly to their wants.

THE DAIRY OF HON. r. D. DUG.

At the close of an address delivered
by Prof. Peter Collier at the annual meet
ing of the Holstein-Fresian association
of America. held at the Fifth Avenue no.
tel. New York, says the BrattlebOro
Phoenix, the record of Vermont dairy
was given as an illustration of what
might be accomplished in the dairy bust
ness. After quoting and commenting
upon the discouraging statistics of Mr..
c. W. jennings Sow Census" which
shows that more than half the cows in
one of the best dairy districts of New
York do not pay the cost of their keep
ing, Prof. Collier said;
IL am aware, gentlemen, that while
this is, as | believe, truthful, it il also
very gloomy statement of the present
condition of the dairy industry. 1t
would be indeed disheartening were it

conditions of success which, if intel

industry one of the most pleasant and
profitable branches of agriculture. |

point which has fallen within my own
experience, which | have no reason to
believe TO be unique, which, however, we
must admit is exceptional.
Not many years ago was going back
and forth over the hills and valleys of
Vermont holding farmers institutes, and
/ frequently in company with members of
our board of agriculture, one whom was,
as he now is. a leading dairyman of the
State. During those Journeys to and fro
he often spoke of his work and plans for
the future, and especially do | recall his
confident declaration that he should
within few years double the annual
product of his herd of cattle, which even
then was far in advance of the average
diaries of the State. He was getting $50
pounds of butter per COW, fully %
pounds beyond the general average then,
as believe II TO be now. He declared
his intention to secure at least 800 pounds.
and detailed his plan for accomplishing
( it. have his statement with one of his
results last season. The average of his
81 COWS was 302 pounds of butter per
COW. The receipts per COW. less cost of

and marketing butter, SO per COW.

The laying of an ocean cable from
San Francisco to Hawaii may appear here
in the East to be rather a chimerical ell
terprise, but the idea has good deal of
solid support in business circles on the
Pacific seaboard. Our trade with Homo
lula is already large, and is rapidly in
creasing, and telegraphic communication
would be great convenience from a
commercial standpoint. Its value in case
of a foreign war is obvious. Moreover,
it may be accepted as certainty that IL
there is not an ocean cable from Hawaii
to San Francisco pretty soon there will
be one from Hawaii to British Columbia.
