FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
“ Fence or No Fence.”
The question aiove stated is agitating the
public mind in some counties of Georgia, the
interest having assumed, as yet, only a spo
radic form, so to speak. Several counties
have held elections under the act of 1872.
which provides For submitting the matter to
a vote of the qualified voters upon the peti
tion of 50 freeholders. This law is singular in
providing that the Ordinay shall submit the
question upon the pitition of free-holders
that counter-petitions of free-holders only,
etc., will be considered, but when an election
is ordered all the qualified voters of the
county are permitted to vote. This provis
ion has proved fatal to the efforts of thoso
who would do away with the present system,
as the negroes and nou-free-holders are gen.
erally opposed to such change, as well as a
large number of those who own land. We
believe the results in the few cases where
elections have been ordered under the law,
have uniformly been opposed to doing away
with the present system. In view of the in
terest that is Urns springing up in various
parts of the State, a history of fence or en
closure laws would bo of value to farmers
and others interested.
The origin of the practice of enclosing cul
tivated lands i3 involved in abscurity and
doubt as to time, but it is probable that the
system took its rise many years after land
ceased to bo held in common and was par
celled out to individual owners. In the ear
ly history of most of the nations of antiquity
and in some of the Eastern countries at the
present day, the principal rural occupation
was the pasturing of flocks and herds of
sheep, goat and cattle, on the natural spon
taneous growh of the earth ; and cultivation
as we now practice it was little thought of.
These natural pastures were the property of
tribes or nations and vvere held in common
and enjoyed by all. By degrees, as civiliza
tion advanced and population increased, the
increasing wants of the inhabitants demand
ed a greater variety of food and a more abun
dant supply than could be furnished from
the Hocks and herds. The cultivation of the
cereals, and texile plants, began to be more
extensive, and increased with each century
until finally the products of cultivation be
came of such prime importance that it was
imepssary to protect the fields from depreda
tions of stock. The herds diminished in num
ber and aggregate value; a greater number
became owners of small herds or only a few
individuals, until it did not pay to watch
them hy day and by iviglit as in the days of
Bethlehem of old. Fencing came into vogue
as a matter of necessity. The flocks and
herd still constituted the larger part of the
personal wealth of the country, and as the
practice of growing crops as food for animals
had but fairly begun and was but little un
derstood, it was obviously impracticable to
enclose the stock and subsist them on the
srili scanty returns from the cultivated fields
and pastures. It was much cheaper to pro
tect the limited fields from the depredations
of domestic animals by fence than it would
have been to enclose the large areas for pas
tures which would have been necessary to
sustain the flocks and herds by grazing.
In this way we suppose the present system
and the laws which uphold it, took their rise.
Thgre is no reason, in the nature of things,
why the ower of land should protect it by
fence from tho encroachments of his neigh
lior’s stock. On the contrary, it seems rea
sonable that the owner of unreasoning ani
mals should be required to retain them
trespassing upon the domains of^another, or
respond for damages inflicted on the inani
mate and defenceless growing crops. In
this country wc have so long been accus
tomed to the present order of things, that it
is difficult for some men to concede even the
natural rights of the proprietor of the soil.
When our forefathers came to this country
the natural pasturage of the woods and
swamps was a very convenient and valuable
aid to the sustenance of the rapidly increas
ing numbers of cattle and other domestic
animals.
Timber was abundant and the small areas j
reclaimed for cultivation could easily be
fenced, and on the principle of the “greatest
good to the greatest number,” and with a
view to utilizing every available resource of
the new country, the fencing out system;
came to be adopted and legislation made it [
Imperative upon all.
In many of the countries of Europe and i
in some large sections of the Nortncrn States !
in this country, the population has greatly
increased, and the value of land has increas
ed in a corresponding ratio, until it i3 now
too valvahle to be idle in the “ range,” but
most of it has been brought under cultiva j
tion. The outside, natural pasture-range, as
we call it, is reduced to a very small area ;
and is of little value in supporting animals.
These and other causes have conspired to ;
elfect a radical change in the system of en
closures, from that of fencing out, to fencing
in stock. In those sections, it is now the
duty of the owners of all predatory domestic j
animals to prevent them from trespassing!
upon the land of others. While this change
was the result of a growing necessity, and
was made in the interest of the tiller of the
soil and for the protection of his crops, yet
it cannot be denied that the .quality of our
domestic animals has been also improved
and their value thereby increased. The
cause of this improvement are so obvious
that it is not necessary to stale them. It is
also true that greater progress has been
made in general agriculture—and improving
the soil, increasing the yield and quality of
crops, etc., in the countries alluded to. But
the advocates of the no fence law in this
country should not jump to the conclusion
that like adoption of their views would ne-
cessarily and immediately result in greater
prosperity and improvement in our farming.
The tendency, we believe, would bo in that
direction, but the relation is not as intimate
and direct as that of cause and effect.
In discussing the question of fence or no
fence, it should be discussed purely upon its
own intrinsic merits, with due regard to the
necessities of the country in which the change
is proposed. The argument mostly relied
on in favor of doing away with the present
system is the increasing scarcity of timber
for rails. It may be replied to this that
the system of enclosing fields with hedges
and dykes was resorted to and still prevails
In some of the best farming countries of Eu
rope—notably Holland and the south of
England; and we believe it is true that in
all of thoss.conntries where the no Joic-c law
obtains, resort was first had to hedges, stone
walls and dykes, after the exhaustion of tim
ber.
After all, we believe that the best amu-
O
ment in favor of the change is found in the
consideration that it is wrong in principle to
compel the owner of a field or farm to in
close it-wbetlier the expense be great or
small—against the depredations of his neigh
bor's cattle. The law wisely’' and justly pro
hibits the running at large of animals that
are supposed to be dangerous to other ani
mals or human beings. The same principle
ought to be applied to those crops and other
inanimate property. The owner of land 19
already burdened, either directly or indirect
ly, with his full share of public taxation, and
should not be forced to incur this additional
expense in order to protect the fruits of his
fields and orchards from tho depredations of
his neignbor’s stock. Under the present law
the owner of one thousand acres of land Is
compelled to furnish pastures for his neighbor
who owns only the acre upon which his house
is built and one cow, or fence in the whole
thousand acres. Tho former may prefer to
keep his own cattle in small enclosures or
barns, and may never turn them into his
fields, but still he must provide against tres
passes by his neighbors animals, at great, ex
pense and labor to himself.
In elections under the law to which wo
have alluded, the voting should be restricted
to free-holders, as they are the class upon
whom the entire expense of keepin up fences
devolves, and whose rights alone are
involved in the question. Other persons are
interested only by’ rca.son of the privilege
they have long enjoyed of subsisting their
cattle and hogs on the public highways and
the unenclosed lands of free-holders.
In many counties in Georgia we believe
the no fence system would become very pop
ular after a few years experience of its ad
vantages. It should be borne in mind that
the no-fence law does not prohibit a farmer
from keeping up just as many fences as he
pleases, and under its practical operation
some farmers would at once build more
fences for the purpose of enclosing their
woodlands and swamps.
It would have been better if the law had
provided for a more gradual change, by de
claring, at first, that fences of height and
strength sufficient to prevent the passage of
cattle and mules, should be lawful fences.
This would necessitate the confinement of
hogs, sheep and goat3 within suitable enclo
sures bv their owners, and the fences so de
dared legal could be constructed and main
tained at a greatly diminished cost compar
ed with the “ horse-high, bull-strong and pig
tight” structures now required by law, but
rarely seen. Two, or at most three stands
of fence wise properly stretched and secured
would accomplish the purpose. Such a law
would enable us to partially test the 110-fencc
system, and would prove the entering wedge
to a total disruption of the present system
in the near future. We think it would be
wise in the next Legislature to provide for
such a gradual change as the one seggosted.
It would go a great way towards the accom
plishment of the end desired and would met t
with much less opposition than the sweeping
and radical change proposed in the present
local option law. —Dixie Farmer ,

Visit to A. C. Thompson's Farm.
Mn. Editor :— On the Ist day of Septem
ber, 1880, I visited the home of this well
known citizen of our county, for the purpose
of looking at his farm, and especially to ex
amine h's cotton crop. I have always thought
that people should bn praised for merit, and
1 do think that Mr. Thompson, so far as in
dustry and go-aheadativeness is concerned,
is entitled to the encomiums and considera
tion of the people. Possibly no man now
living, or that ever lived, has done more hard
work, and had more hard work done, as a
farmer, than the subject of this article. Five
years ago, when Mr. Thompson moved to
where lie now lives, he found eight acres of
upland and twenty-five or thirty acres of bot
tom land cleared, no house to live in, no
fences to speak of, nor no buildings, except
one tenant house. He now has an elegant,
residence of eight large rooms, nearly finish
ed, and when completed will be worth at lea:?t
one thousand dollars. He has built four new
tenant houses, he wed-log out-buildings suf
ficient, and good rock chimneys to each house,
and the best of fencing around and through
his entire farm.
Air. Thompson lias in cultivation this year
eighty-two acres v n Cotton aa( j forty-three
acres in bottom land n e planted his
cotton about the 20th of Apo.t owing to
the fact that his seed was unsound! licj la( ] t()
plant it over, which necessarily made it u\ ;< -
tlc late, but I will venture the assertion that,
there is not as good a cotton crop in Jackson
county, i found thirty or thirty-five acres
which will, I think, at a reasonable calcula
tion, make thirty or thirty-five bales. I know
this is big figuring. Mr. Editor, but it’s big
cotton. It's true I live in town, but I was
raised in a cotton, field, and know whereof I
write. Cant. T. carried me to what he calls
his brag patch, and I must confess that my
eves have never beheld such cotton before.
; The main trouble I saw in that patch is. if it
continues to rain, the cotton vail rot, as the
stalks are nearly all fiat on the ground. He
has this patcii planted in the Simpson seed,
and let me say right here that I never saw
such clusters of bolls before ; the bolls are so
thick that I covered eight grown ones with
one hand. I think this aero will make 2,000
pounds of seed cotton. 11 i3 rows are, on an
average, live feet apart, and in many places
the cotton is lapped. Mr. Thompson is in
favor of wide rows, but thinks Mr. William
system is most too wide.
I did not go through much of his corn crop,
but what I saw of it was very fine. It was
planted the latter part of May, and on good
bottom land, and the late rains has made it
extra good. I think the forty acres will
make at least two hundred barrels. Teas
and pumpkins world without end, mixed
among tho corn.
I looked at his stock, and found his four
mules, fat and sleek, in a good pasture;
several splendid cows and very fine Berk
shire hogs ; some of Bill Cox’s imported Ma
rino sheep, and with pastures sufficient for
all.
Taking everything into consideration, Mr.
T. is certainly the best manager and farmer
in our count}’. And the best part of it all is
the fact that “ Tim,” as we familiarly call
him, is not neglecting the more important
duty—that of a preparation for the unknown
eternity. I found him anxious to talk of the
Bible.
lie also gave me an account of his recent
trip to the mountains, which was quite inter
esting to me, and spoke of the fun he had
with ye editor on the trip.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have noticed that all,
or nearly all of ycur correspondents have iu
view the puff of some individual in nearly all
their articles, but L desire to benefit others
in writing this article fully as much as I do
Mr. Thompson, and the class I desire to ben
efit especially is the young men.
How often do we meet young men on the
highway of life who tell us that there is no
money in farming, and that they want to get
a clerkship, or go into business of some kind,
in order to make money and yet rich ? Young
man, there never was a greater mistake.
Look and see how many merchants are break
ing every day, and view the misery in the
mercantile world. It's not thus with farmers.
But few farmers brake, and of all the con
tented avocations of life, that of a farmer is
certainly the best. So, young men of Jack
county, farmer boys who are dispirited, I ad
vise you to visit the farm of our friend Mr.
Thompson, and thereby take courage and be
come one of the noblest of God’s creation—
a celebrated farmer. A Friend.

“Let Me Pray First.”
One day not long ago a sweet and Intel 1 i
gent little girl was passing quietly through
the streets of a certain town, when she came
to a spot where several idle boys were amus
ing themselves by the very dangerous prac
tice of throwing stones. Not observing her,
one of the boys by accident throw a stone
towards her, and struck her a cruel blow in
the eye.
She was carried home in great agony. The
doctor was sent for, and a very painful opera
tion was declared necessary. When the
time came, and the surgeon had taken out
his instruments, she lay in her father’s arms,
and he asked if she was ready for the doctor
to do % what he could to cure her ere.
“ No, father, not yet,” the child replied.
“ What do you wish to wait for, my child?”
“ I want to kneel in your lap, and pray to
Jesus first,” she answered.
And then kneeling, she prayed for a few
minutes, and afterwards submitted to the
operation with all the patience of a strong
woman.
How beautiful this little girl appears under
these trying circumstances ! Surely Jesus
heard tlie prayer made in that hour; and lie
hears every child that calls upon his name.
Even pain can be endured when wo seek
Jesus to help us bear it.

An Ohio man recently returned from a
residence in China, says that the highest
ambition indulged in by a Chinese woman is
to have her name placed noon public record
as having passed through forty years of vir
tuous widowhood. There arc in certain
public places tablets of stone, upon which are
inscribed the names ofthose women who have
lived during that time above suspicion. But
few ambitious hopes of this character are
