of life is higher than in France. Judges prob:-

The Fenc8i Question Shall we Fence Stock
Out or In: j . ;
Europe has learned a more . rational , method
than to build roadside aud bo'undary fences.
There arc fiye times as many fences in Illinois
as there are iu Germany; and Duchess county,
New York, has mora than all France. New
England has fifty times as many ss Old England.
In France, Germany and Holland, farmers gen- ,
erally hold their lands in common, with only
narrow paths between. j ,
It cannot be difficult to demonstrate the gross
injustice of the present system.' j Johnson own
a farm ou which he grows wheaj but he keeps
no cattle. Jones owns ao adjacent farm, devoted
to stock-raising but he has no wheat. Johnsoa
uecds 'no fences for his owo usei his wheat will
not go off his land to prey upon his neighbor's
hogs and cattle. Since Ceres, iri a benign mood, ,
delivered to Triptolemus the Grst grains of wheat,
that cnp has always stayed where it was put.
Junes ueeds fences -rcanuot live without theui
for he owns locomotive property " Nowo com'
pel Johnson to build fences which he has no u
for, and to exenso 'Jones for ijilJing fences
which he cannot get' along withjout, m ths very
reverse of eiiuity

In such a st tte of things, is thrre any questiua
where justice lies ? 7 . '
A writer in the Illinois1 Agr cultural Report
asks : 'Is there any good re ison why a into
should be cmnpollod to bu'ld from one to tea
miles of fence to protect his crotw from his ceigh
bors' stock, when such neighbori" might them
selves do it with one-tenth the fence ? 'Jan soy
