raced and'wlicro it has boen dotAi ' the
sail han becu retained, and wbero there
wero washes and gullies now there are
none. This 1 cousiUur the acme of all
uiodi-r3 farm improvements, the retaiu
iug of the soil. We want another im
| provcuient, uud that is doiug uway with
! rail and board fencing, and if wc must
j fence, pive us a ehoap, durable wire
| fence that will not cripple oi kill slock.
Doing away wi'h tield feuetng is much
to be desired, aud keeping up stock, but
.v pas'ttrcs bacoaic necessary under that
sy-:ie!U, wo wnut e cheap wire fcuoc,
do and durable, and that can be re
j moved u-' desired. A farm should have
plenty ot stock, not only for their value
a: work animals, for milk and butter,
| but for merchantable purposes also, as
well as to furnish manure for tho farm.
Commercial manures are too expensive
to depoud on. and we want manure from
our animals, which make them doubly
val .able to us as market stock, as well
as fertilizers of our farms. We have
the torraoc* that retain oar soil, so let
us have the bonefit of our cattle to fertil
ise Our Jariiis and this we eainot have
until we can furnish pastures for them,
and we cannot have cheap pastures uu
til we haro cheap fencing. Pastures
a:id stock ate next iu value to terracing,
yet to accomplish this, wn arc depen
dent on Legislative, aid, as well as the
gui.iu« tf tha mechanic to furnish cheap
in..toi iul '.hat will answer our purposes j
Thi.- should be the efforts of ottr young
farmers to have accomplished such nee- I

old to lead off, fot when .they liuvo uc I
coiupli.-bcd the plalis through the legis
lature m; i mauufaeturors, then tla: oldor
laruiers can follow. It tukes work and
porsi vet *m c to carry out plans, and
that must be ihc task and dnty of our
youug farmers. The Farmer's Alliance
may do much iu accomplishing such
things, so lo*. us persevere to tho end.—
