Peters opened the discus sion with the following paper. It can hardly be condensed more. The subject was divided as follows: 1st. Fencing, a connected with' the highways of the Stase.'and incidently the expense of maintainance as regards pas turage of cattle, sheep, Jiorses, and swine, not legally there. . " - 2d. Fencing, as it regards the general charge upon the land, or as concerned its burded upon Agriculture. : ; First, then, I assume a mile of; high wav to each sauare rnil of land. That there are 18,000,000 acres of land in the State which are susceptible of cultivation. and are under fence. RIy estimates, are based uDon the followinsr cata: Uurr s j - Atlas makes the area, of the State a tn fle over 23,000,000 acres. The aggre gate of acres taxed as returned by Super visors to the Controllers, makts it about half million of, acres less. The State Census nive improved acres, 13,657,- 490; unimproved acres 13,1000,692. Total acres, 26,753.182, which is about 1 ,000,000 acres less than is given by town assessors. The Census fail to account for a million of acres, compared with town assessors, and a million and a half com pared with Burr's Atlas. ' ; ; I place the waste lands in four divis ions, viz: 1st. Northern, or St. Law pence division, by which I mean all the lands north of the Mohawk Valley, and of Oneida Lake, and west of a line ex tended north through Lake Champlain, from tbe mouth of the Mohawk river to the Canada line. 2d. Hudson and At lantic division, which includes Long Island, Staten Island, and the east side of the Hudson river. 3d. The catskill division, which includes all south of the Mohawk river, and east of the Valley of Chenango, prolonged to the State, line south. 4th. The western division, which includes the balance of the State not in cluded in the other divisions. I estimate the waste lands in the north ern division at 6.000,000 acres; Hudson and Atlantic, 1,250,000 acres; Catskill, 1,250.000 ; Western division, 1,500,000. Total, 10,000,000 acres. The Census gives of lands in crops, pasturage. &c, lb.UUU.UUU acres, which with the absolute waste lads, accounts for o!i nnn nnn ,rP Tint in nnn nnn acres will cover all the waste lands, it leaves still two millions of acres unac counted for. This is probably in cities and villages, gardens and orchards,: which would make the improved and in closed lands 180,000.000 acres, which is not fnr from thft truft nmnnn At 6 10 acres to the squa. mile,' iS, 000,000, of acres would be 28,125 square miles, and 28,000 miles of highway. But the highway must be fenced on both sides, which would make 56,000 miles of highway fence. The land occupied by the highway and fences is at least four rods in width, of which the public only require about one rod. The amount of land occupied by highways is 204,000 acres. Cost of fence SI per rod. Cost til annual repairs equal to the interest of another SI per rod. The average value of aI! the improved lands in the State is, s&j $40 per acre, . the annual interest upon whicn is S2.80' per acre, or $22,40 per mile. Our account, then, with high ways, stand's ftiu's : 640 rods of fence to tbe mile, at Si fjer rod, 8640. . Capital required for the interest oh repairs in curred per mile, 5640. Interest on land at $40 per acre, $22,40. Total cost per mile is S1.302 40. Cost of 23,000 miles Sll.QOO.OOO. Annual interest thereon, S770.000. Interest on capital for re pair., $770,000. Interest on land used 1616,000. Total annual cost of high ways, besides labor, $2,156,000, or near ly one-half of the State tax. Second Fences as a general charge upon the farmer. The average size of farm in the State is about 100 acres, and the fields of the farm will not exceed ten acres each:. One hundred acres fenced into ten-acre Jots would require 1,600 rods of fence. But as these fences are used em 6oth .sides, therefore only one half should be comjiuted. We have, therefore, 800 rods to the farm ; at SI per rod", making 88 sunk capital to each acre. The cost of ill the fences then, in the State, is S144.000. But as we can best- comprehend the figures when apr plied to the farm, we say the sunk cap ital on a farm is SSOO, which is eqtfal 13 annual interest of 856. An equal sum is required to be put at interest tar keep the fences rtt repair" , making the annual tax SI 12 per acreor the tfggrtgate cost to to the farmers of the State $1 12 per acre each year for fences. Itf other wcrds there is to be charged' to the farm lands of the State the sum of S20.000,- 000 for the protection of their stock and the'security of their crops. The annual legal tax paid upon farmlands, or by the farmers of the State, averages 33 cents per acre, or about $6,000,000. This in cludes State, county, town, highway, and district school taxes. Our fence tar is $1 12 per acre. : There was not a little talk about the law regulating fencing along the high ways, and the law of trespass in its rela ion to road cattle. It was claimed that this law had been a dead letter, so far as its practical operation was concerned, in nine-tenths of tbe State. There were gentlemtn present who asserted that in certain localities men "with backbone had enforced It; but it had involved considtr able litigation. In the end, the friend of law and order had , triumphed, and tbe result had been a healthy observance of the rights of the property holders to tbe highways. . . . Thi; present law had prove more effec tive, Wnd the good results were already s;en in very many localities in the 8iate. It tad multsd in eerapllij a csrtfcia ;AV. I r ONE AND "INSEPARABLE, NOW AND F,ORKVER.M NEBRASKA,; SATUHDAY, JULY 25, 1863. class of land holders to pasture their fctock on their own le.nd. It had dimin ished the depredations of cattle on farm crops, lessemmed the cost of fencing the highways, in:reased the products of the farm, improved the appearance of the streets, and o.herwisei benefited ali classes In some cases,- near large towns or cities, it was more difficult to enforce this law. There were classes of lawless cit izens, who were prompt to retaliate upon the man who adopte any legal measures lo compel thsnrto keep their stock from theMifgnway.' r But these instances were exceptions. The array of figures presen ted by Mr. Peters, impressed the impor tance to the industrial interests of the State, that this law be 'rigidly enforced, and that farmers advpt ertiry measnre of oconomy which this law gives the power to adopt. - ' Lewis F. Allen, of Black Rock,' had found it difficult to enforce this law, and thought a law allowing the farmer to fence close up to the1 ditch each 'side of the road track, giving only 24 feet to the street, would have, been a wiser one. He was not an opponent of the present law, however, provided it was practical to enforce it. "The amount of fence can not be greatly , diminished without the practice of soiling is adopted. Another gentlemen advocated the re moval of the road fences as a means of teaching the people our righ to the high way He thought the main-difficulty in the way, of the enforcement of this law, was a fact that a large class believe they have the ri5ht to the road for grazing purposes, tbat land owners are compelled to fence against stock. ' Mr. Peters urged the importance of distributing copies cf the law in all parts of the State. Agricultural papers should publish it, call attention to it, and show the people the good results to follow its enforcement. Then let farmers put a little backbone into its execution, and all classes will be benefitee thereby in the end, because the capital involved in the making and keeping up fences will be turned into other channels, and become distributed and active. . ' ' . ' v . Judge Warner, cf Rochester, thought tha present law defective in one respect in that it does nqt provide for the re covery of damages w'hich may have re sulted from the depredations of animals taken uy, by "the same process and par? ties, who collect the fine thus saving the extra cost of a second process under the old law to recover.' This was indorsed by other gentlemen as important, and the action of the society was recommended in the matter. , ' A gentlemen frbra Herkimer county pathetically pleaded the rights and ne cessities of the iaboring poor to the road pasturage, and impressively asked the gentlemen present, if they were willing to devote four acres of the pasturage of the poor man's cow ? His appeal was affecting, bJt a heartless editor dried up the tears and 4,brought down the house ," by "taking the liberty" ta ask the gen tleman what effice he was running for. ' President Cornell said he went from home to England with a high opinion of lhe live fences of that country. But he had returned from across water, satisfied that they are expensive and useless. He said live fences might be good for the prairies where shelter is desired, but he did not believe them profitable here , for they are two expensive and occupy too much ground. In England premiums were offered for the eradication of hedges: On the Continent he found few fences". In France and Belgium n fen ces were visible., ; The Lorabardy pop lars are observaWe, along the road sides as landmarks when the snow covers the ground. He had returned determined diminish his fences one-half at least. He would. not recommend their rapid but their gradual 'diminution. He is satisfied we have twite as much fence as is neces sary, This testimony was endorsed by the, best farmers present," who asserted their intention' to economize in' fence ex penditures in every possible way. At,, the conclusion . of the .discussion, Col. B. P. Johnson, Secretary of the So! ciety, being invited to address the meet ing relative to his recent visit to the In ternational Exhibition at London, respon ded in a very eloquent manner. He said: All vho , went from this cooiitry went at their own expense: There were about 95 exhibitors of American articles, and these won great honors. . under more favorable circumstances we would have beaten all 'other nations, and even as it was the London papers had to ac knowledge that the American exhibition hsd won a greater proportion of the pri zes than e. en England, The. progress that this show prcved had been made in eleven years, in all branches of the arts and manufactures," was wonderful. Everywhere over, England Col. Johnson found that the Aftftrican agricultural im plement exbiof te3 in J85f had cone into use," and are . 'highly.'. Approved. He thought those wfc'e sent", over articles to the exhibition of 1862 were entitled to great credit, for they had won natrfcan honors. An American engine was used to drive half the machinery in the exhi bition, and that engine was adopted as the standard of steam engines. ' .. - Col. J. continued his remarks about ha If an hour, ve ry much to the satisfac tion of the meeting, which then adjourned to the next State Fair, with feelings of great . satisfaction at, th?"re3ult of'the present discussioas. . A farmer; me celebrated for his fine stock than a good education,, spoke to the secr&Jary. cf. an. agricultural, society -m regard to entering bis animals for the premium offered, and added asapostcript asfollow.j: "Also enter me for the best jackass.
