GKAXGEll SAM. The Fence Law. osi Editor Press and Banner: JJ?.1 The fence law as heretofore existing has sujecomo a nuisance to the public, and W;1 hould bo repealed by the popular vote of ti((1 ho people. The enact incut of the fence ?|c aw was a necessity and must be sustain- (in 'th wIj Tho farmer must make the money to mc iiti the mac.liinery of all otiicr avocations iXn ?r the country must sink. We regard pjj hat farmer wise who calculates the u;ij lost appertaining to every branch of his a* ndustrv. Unless he does this, of course jn ve fails in business as the merchant or janker. The pocket book rules the!of vorld, and to keep it in salutary eondi-J j,0i ion requires both nerve and brain. ! tjK Now we simply ask the intelligent far- I V)-a ner the question, ean ho lenee his l'arin!0f is cheaply as he can his stock? liaj We again asl: hint would not the namjor be greatly increased? The Hirst proposition in voles no argu- 1 nent and wiiat of the second ? Ho The colored men are the only oppos- u-\ >rs of the bill, fearing the loss of their coi itock, but the white man has no excuse ^ unilcr heaven. vii We can overlook the black man be- tin iinso ho is ignonnl of the law and its j provisions, but the white man can post i * iimself. Ior 'i'he law was wisely gotten up and we hink meets all objections. Ileally the laborer has the better part ^ nider the "act" in beingallowed so much mi asl it rage for each tield hand. We eon-1 lia end that no set of hands on a farm will I kn equire or desire so much pasturage as j 'two heads of cattle for one hand." 1 n i j'or act we doubt whether there would be a! qU lozen farms in Abbeville county whore j km lie hands would require so much* pastur- j igc. Think over this proposition. j A colored man with his wife and two) I lands would have a "pasturage pcrniis- j "a ;ion" for eight head of cattle by the act.' wa I'll is is liberal and just. What about the n1lumber of farms? In answer we assort ? hat tiie colored man would have every TJ icre of good land under cultivation.

This lly is a most active imi troublesome in tlie hottest weather. In cold, wet weather it is dormant or nearly so. They lay their eggs on the! Til legs of the horse, from whence they are laken into the stomach, where they hatch into grubs, and in this state are known as ii'ii?.; im.-> mi;iiis?uivvia IU lll(! nails 1)1' 1110 stomach and draw their nutrition Tp from that furnished the animal and from _|fi the juices of the stomach. They cause iJL! -sonic irritation, but are not generally very ^>( troublesome. After a time they fall oif j.~r from the walls of the stomach and pass j off in the manure, from which they emerge in the form of a lly, and again go through the same round. "Hots may generally be exitellea by giving the horse sweetened milk, which the grubs like, and will let go their hold to take it the better. An active cathartic will then bring them away. "Another form of bot is found in the head of the sheep, where they called grub-in-the-head. These come from an egg laid in the nose of the sheep,, where they are hatched and work their way up the nasal passages, and in rams they are often found in the horns, but they never r_ work out of these sinuses into the brain, i and the lecturer did not think they ever r* caused death in sheep otherwise in good condition. _ en "Another parasite found in the brain, Si and often mistaken for the grub-in-the head, is the hvdatid, coming from a tapeiirorrv. wlii?k*iu nmni mill llll?

There would seem to be no good rean why, if we wish to raise good orlard I'm it, we should not manure oijr l'eople ol'te/i look at trees) owing on rocky hill-sides, and uric therefrom that trees can grow illmut manure. They know that po-1 toes and other vegetables must have anure or they will not thrive, htitj ey regard trees as ;i different order i vegetation, something that can rive and llouri.-h where nothing se would, iiut in the ease of trees i rocky hiil-s-ides, the land is oltenj lything hot poor. The roeks them-! Ives frequently contain valuable| ineral matter, which, as the rock, cavs. is i resellted in a form that mils can troiI upon. Then, whaler vegetation grows among the eks remains there to decay, ami even ives ami other foreign substance* at hlow into the crevices formed by e rocks make a valuable plant fond i which the trees thrive. Indeed, }es in apparently poor, rocky places e really much better off than many 2e? in orchards, where they are in liat appears good land. In more vel lumi trees must be manured.' In any cases it is us necessary to the st. success that trees have an occaenafmunuring, as it is that any other ?ps should have manure. There ive been many discussions as to aether manure for fruit trees should applied broadcast or ploughed in. ir orchard trees there is no rule; it pends on circumstances. ji uie es on ground where vegetables are :>\vn, the manure is, of course, turnin for tiie benefit of these crops, tl the roots of (he fruit trees fight tli those of the vegetables for some it, and get it too. But there are my orchards where no crops are )\vn but the trees*, and then it is an cellent practice to apply manure as top-dressing at least every other nr, if you would have thein bear an uudaneeof good fruit. Jeorgo Watt, the .ploughman, says re is much science in gearing a team, I this science should be practiced bv ry ono who owns a plough animal, the first place, the hames should he iperly made, and with the collar lie t upon the shoulder, the logger-head tho hanics should be one-third the igth of thehame from the lower end of s hame; and the traces when taut nild be at right angles to the hames. iien once the team is geared correctly ; gear should never be altered to suit > plough, but always alter the plough suit tho team. The back-bank should rer be moved back and forward, for ifi is there will be a point at which the ce crooks, and this will cause pressure i steadily on the back-band, and hence idueesore backs.
