News and Views About Farm.

Let any farmer estimate the cost OF
a fence around a three-hundred-acre
farm, and he will not object to having
the privilege of growing crops on his
fields without fear of trespass from the
stock OF his neighbor. There is one
good point in favor of 'no-fence"
law, and that is it does not prevent
anyone from having as much fence as
he desires. He can build miles Of fence
but he cannot impose the same neces-
sity upon his neighbor. He can also
keep his stock on a smaller area, If he
prefers, and he win be enabled to save
a large portion of the manure that
usually goes to waste. The "no-fence
law" has been a progressive step to-
wards the soiling system, and all who
have come within its province have
been compelled to acknowledge that the
change has permitted of greater econ
omy and assisted largely in increasing
the profits of stock-raising-in every
case proving blessing.
IL flowers are desired they REQUIRE
rich ground and plenty of plant food.
One of the best substances to use over
the ground around rose bushes. dab-
las, shrubs, honeysuckles, etc. is
fine bone meal 1t may be used liber-
ally and chopped into the ground with
"a hoe. II the weather IS very dry
spread one or two old newspapers
around the vines or bushes. to retain
moisture, holding them in place with
a few clods. When watering all such
plants they will be benefited If a
Tablespoonful Of amonia water is added
to every gallon of water used for
sprinkling on the ground, but do not
apply it to the leaves.
A simple mode OF propagating roses
is claimed to have special advantages.
