On the highest point Of the peak
there is an ancient mound between 30

grave covered with boulders, but
which has been excavated. On the
southwest side of the mound are two
very prominent boulder outlines, one
representing a woman, the other a

Farming without Fences

1t Is within the memory OF many
farmers when the fences on farm
were considered the most important
part of its improvements. 1t was in
the days when stock was altogether
kept by pasturing in summer. and
mainly by feeding hay in winter. In
those times the lack OF fencing that
prevented pasturing the young clover
on a grain stubble or the aftermath OF
meadow was regarded as misfor-
tune. Now it is generally known that
young clover should never be pastur-
cd. and in most cases afterProwth on
meadows may better be left to lie and
rot on the ground than to build even
n temporary fence for the protection
OF adjoining crops when 1t Is pastured.
Many farmers where fencing ma
terial is scarce have learned to dis
pense entirely with inside fences. and
this tendency is growing. Where 1t

followed more generally than is often
supposed. 1t is not merely adapted
TO dear land near cities, but is OF equal
advantage on cheaper land with this
condition that there be- on the latter
the means for supplying plenty OF
manure and plenty OF labor. II is the
lack of these conditions that make it
harder to bring up poor land at dis
tance from cities or large villages.
The way to dispense with fences Is
TO begin sOiliDg or part soiling on a
small scale at first 1t needs rich
land to grow soiling crops prolitably.
and the first year or two only small
piece can be got in proper condition.
II manure or grain for feeding stock
can be bought, land may be brought
up to the soiling standard more rapidly.
But In either case it will DO idle 10
expect profitable returns except with
good stock. This will require a good
deal OF attention. and the needed care
will be better given to stock fed by
hand than TO that allowed TO run in
