But vou f.sk. "whv could not this
I land have bc?u cultivated before the
I existence of this law ?" I answer in :
the popular voice, tiniply because tlie
owners of it eoald not, have fenced it.
1 passed across some plantations to-
day, and truly I was astonished (and ;
ait 'the same time highbj delighted)
to see the unmistakable signs of the
positive and apparent good that is
accruing under the "no-fence" law,
in the shape of litt'e nooks and cor
ners being added to the fields to
say nothing oi the eedar thickets that
are being cleared up for cultivation.
Doubtless every farmer has some fer-
' tile corners somewhere on his farm,
! exhaust the possible income from it.
So he must let it lav. and pay tax on

Prejudice sometimes goes a long
ways against athing. Some persons

The cost of fences oa all farms is
in excess of the value of the slock
on them. A train: the annual cost oi
keeping the stock out of the fields is
more than the income of the stoek in j
any year. Lot any man who di-bc-
liQvea this make the calculation for j
himself, taking h"s own premises for;
