The stock law question is caus

the farming citizenry Just now.
Well, we must say the quetsion is
one of grave Importance, and one
that we people, without practical
experience, may know but little,
from the fact that we hear one neigh
bor who moved here from a stock
law community declare that It Is
the best thing for oir iarmeis; still
another one declares that If It
should be established here he will
remove to other parts where It Is
not of force. So what are we, who

Doar Sir: Having read a fev let
ters on the no-fence scare, ana as
Mr. Cooper wants us to name some
of tho good features about the pro
posed stock law, I will try to give a
few of them—
First: It will atop hog cholera.
Second; We can rid our cows of
ticks, which Ib Impossible to do, un
der free range conditions. ,
Third: We con raise good blooded -
stock, which we can't do In a free
range.
Fourth; We can fence our stock
cheaper than we can fence our whole
farm.
Ffth; We will have better labor
because no man can or will go to
any expense for sorry labor, but ho
can well afford to build a pasture
for good men, and he will do It.
-3ome of the writers say, "Why
don’t the land-owner fence his land

has no land turn out his stock. We
would like to know where he would
