COST OF FARM FENClNG.

The item of fencing is a great bug
bear to some farmers, but 1t may be
made very profitable. The editor Of
Wallaces Farmer a short time ago
got the estimated cost Of fencing a
16O acre farm with woven wire fenc-
ing, "hog tight, horse high and bull
strong" The woven wire figured on
was thirty inches wide, with two
barbed wires above, and the fence
was to be hung on good oak or white
cedar posts. The figures received
from a number OF farmers varied
from four to FIVE hundred dollars.
The same paper got from the differ
ent farmers their estimate of the in
creased value of the 100 acres be-
cause of the fencing and the average
increased value was given at about
five dollars an acre, or $500 for the
farm. The editor thinks that the
increased renting value Of the farm
would be equal to forty per cent. on
the investment, and figures that in
stead of fencing being a hardship, 1t
is one Of the greatest possible bene-
fits.

MONEY IN FARM EDUCATION.


In the rotunda OF large Office
building in st. Louis, I saw a man
painting iron columns in imitation
of marble, while across the street a
painter was hopping the roof with
some kind of roofing preparation.
The two men were in the same call
ing One represented strength with
little or no skill; the other, intelli-
gence and skill combined. / presume
one received twenty or twenty-five
cents an hour and the other sixty or
seventy-fve cents an hour. The diff
ference in value is the superior
knowledge of the one.
Let no boy or young man imagine
for a moment that the same infeXi-
BILE rule of reward for superior in
telligence does not prevail on the
farm, whether he is in the employ of
another or working for himself.
I know in Scott County, a hard
working young farm hand Of good
habits, but his only ambition seems
to be to own a fine horse and buggy,
and he has these-red wheels, rub
Der tires, whip tied with blue ribbon,
etc. He makes a fine appearance
when he goes driving in his good
clothes and kid gloves. But when l
see him 1 cannot help but think;
What of the future? He has never
qualified himself for anything but
hard woodwork with the hands.
He can hold to the pillow handles and
cluck to the team. He has reached
the limit of his capacity. His mus
Giles are fully developed and he can
work no harder. There is nothing
in the future for him but work with
his hands. All he has to show for
several years work is that horse and
buggy.
The farmers Institutes, boys en-
campments and farm schools combat
the idea that farming is an occupation
in which ignorance, main strength
and awkwardness are more valuable
assets than education and clear, cor
rect conception Of everything relating
to the farm-Hon. A. p, Grout, iD
