On Thursday last George Weisburg, of
| huuuoIlOIu, Az. -, ohN 0oN WIN Noii-
nowski, OF LA East Goth st. New York,
were here to visit their farms 77S, 779,
7SO and ISL. They were pleased with
the prospect Of RisIey and character of
the ground. They thought the latter
| only needed labor to make it bloom like
rose. They were especially well
pleased at the reception they received at
Risley and the pleasure of driving around
the country and seeing the many i'm
provements on the place.
As our settlers are clearing they should
keep the timber for fencing. No tarm
looks well, no matter how well cultiva-
ted, unless it is nicely fenced. Our prop
critics all have the desired amount OF
good oak timber for post and rail. Wire
fencing for poultry can be put up very
cheaply, about x cent per squaretoot. A
four loot fence is high enough torpoultry
as they, being able to see through it, do
not fly over it. Cattle does well il
allowed the range Of the farm in Winter
and that can not be done unless fenced.
| farmer should keep all the live stock
he can on a five acre farm. 1t would be
advisable to keep not less than one
horse, one COW, raise calf and q couple
of hogs. This will furnish enough ma.
nure to iurtilize his ground. An acre ol
ground planted in fruit, with q wire fence
around to keep out the poultry, would
