THE yEHCE tiUESTlOX.
As we are for the present through
publishing tho United States Laws,
and desire to resume our agricultural
column, we know of nothing more
important to the farmer, in fact the
whole State, than to transfer to our
columns entire, the report of the U.S
Commission of Agriculture on the
subject of fences. It is a complete
utatemeut of facts gathered from all
parts of the Union, and being official,
may be considered reliable. Tho ar
ticle will run through several num
bers of the paper, and we advise our
readers to preserve the article entire
for future reference.
It has been a mooted point. In the
past, whether fences were intended to
avert the destruction of corn by the
cattle of neighbor., or to restrain
one's own stock from similar depreda
tions. For a long time tlie popular
Idea, logicall3' interpreted, appeared
to be that corn should be restrained
to prevent depredations upon cattle.
Another question, of which a solu
tion has been desired, is whether the
money invested in farm-stock or that
In farm-fences is the greatest sum. It
is certain that the fence investment is
n large one, and strongty suspected
that much of it is avoidable and un
profitable. While rapidly paying the
national debt, it is possible that the
American people may discover a
means of reducing another of almost
equal proportions, in the one case
tlie annual tax Is a fixed sum, which
is lesB than legal interest upon tlie en
tire principal ; in the other, it is legal
interest on the whole amount, and a
still larger tax for depreciation of the
principal, thus more than doubling
the tax, and rendering the fence debt
a heavier burden than tho war debt.
It is beginning to be seen that our
fence laws are inequitable in a greater
degree than is required by the princi
ple of yielding something of personal
right, when necessary, for the general
good. When a score of young farm
ers "go West." with strong hands and
little cash in them, but a munificent
promise to each of a homestead worth
$200 now, and $2,000 in tlie future, for
less than $20 in land-oftico fees, they
often find that $1,000 will be required
to fence scantily each farm, with lit
tle benelit to themselves, but mainly
for mutual protection against a single
stock-grower, rich in cattle, and be
coming richer by feeding them with
out cost on the unpurchased prairie.
This little community of twenty
families cannot seo the justice of the
requirement which compels tho ex
penditure of $20,000 to protect their
crops from injury by tlie nomadic cat
tle of their unsettled neighbor, which
maj not be worth $10,000 altogether.
There is also Inequality in tlie tax
which fencing levies upon the farm
ers, the rate of which increases with
tho decrease of the area ; for example,
a farmer inclosing a section of land,
G40 acres, with a cheap fence costing
but $1 per rod, pays $1,2S0 for a
many rods of fence, or $2 per acre;
another, with a quarter section, 1G0
acres, pays $G40, or $4 dollars per aero;
while a third, who is only able to
hold 40 acres, must pay $320. or $S per
acre. Thus the fencing system is one
of differential mortgages, the poor
man in tins case being burdened with
nn extra mortgage of $6 per acre
which his richer neighbor is not com
pelled to bear. All thee acres are of
equal intrinsic and productive value,
but those of the larger farm have each
but a fourth of tho annual burden
thrown upon tho smaller homestead,
and tho whole expense may be for
protection against trespassing cattle
owned by others.
But it is not proposed to discuss the
fence question. It is necessary, first,
to obtain possession of its facts, ascer
tain what kinds of fence are used, the
number of rods of each, and the cost
of each. Tho census furnishns nn
light upon it, and local collections of
these essential facjs are few and Im
perfect. The best that can bo done at
present is to seek county estimates of
kind, amount, and cost, from careful
analysis of ascertained facts. As a
preliminary effort In this direotion, in
the absence of a thorough census
the following series of questions ras
addressed to tho regular statistical
correspondents of this Department:
1. What descriptions of farm-fences
are made in your county ; if of more
than one kind, tho proportions of
each, expressed as percentages of the
total quantity ?
2. What is'the average heierht and
prevailing mode of construction of
each Kind?
3. What is your estimate, for the
farms of your county, of tho average
number of rods of fence to each one
hundred acres of farm-lands, includ
ing together improved and unim
proved lands?
4. What is your estimate, for the
whole county, of the average size
(number of acres), o inclosures or
fields?
5. Average price of boards used for
fences, per thousand ?
G. Average price of rails per thou
sand? 7. What proportion of openings
have bars and what proportion gates
8. Average cost per rod of worm

1,1. What is the comparative dura
bility of each kind?
Returns were made from S4G coun
ties, nearly all answering every qnes
tion, some. very fully
ery fully. Asasampleofj
xhaustive, the following, '
UihnM. Millikin. of But- ,
the most ex
from Hon. .1
Icr county, Ohio, is given in full :
1 n.ir farm fri rnnUf nf rnm-
i. uur iann-iences consist oi tiuii -
moil Worm rail fence, atld (what can i ilarity has been won by no appeal to fctuptd pieju
hnrillv Up fsillpil 'w fprippl of (Wltro- ' tiicv or nPr'lVWl tastes. totfon Glo.
orange hedge. There are no data by
which to determine accurately the
proportion of each. My estimate is
80 per cent, rail-fence, 13 per cent,
board-fence, and o per cent, hedge
fence. 2. Our worm rail fence varies in
height. They are from seven to nine
rai! high, including riders. Our
board-fence is usuully made of lG-foot
boards, 1 inch thick and G inehe
wide. Posts 8 fret apart. Black lo
cust post" always preferred. Red ce
dar, white cedar, and onk posts all
used, and esteemed for durability, in
the order named. Most people make
their board-fence five boards high,
and then cap it. Recently many are
oniv using four boards, and copping
with the fifth.
3. In 1S57 I made a very careful es
timate of the number of rods of fence
in tliis county, and the cost of the
-time. I also estimated the annual in
terest on tlie same, and the annual
expense of keeping thesame in repair.
These estimates were made for the
purpose of showing the necessity of
laving a law enacted to prevent cat
tle from running at large. I presented.
my statement to tlie btnt? Agricul
tural Convention, and the ultimate re
sult was the passage of a very val
uaMe law restraining cattle from run
ning at large. Asyot.it is not gen
erally enforced, but it is accomplish
ing good results. My data, then used,
I cannot find, and must, therefore,
hastily make another estimate. So
much preliminary. Our farms, of 100
acre each, will average from 875 to
JJoO rods of fence say fully 900 rods.
4. We have in this county about 4,-
M00 farms, varying in size from 3D
acres to 400 acres. Of the latter we
have some Ihirtj or forty. Each
farm, on an average, will have about
eight fields, and we have, therefore,
'of in closures or fields," at least 32,
000. This estimate does not include
numerous unall lots which every far
mer has in immediate connection
with the barn-yard.
5. The average price for fencing
boards is about $22 per thousand.
G. Good oak rails are worth $70 per
thousand.
7. Nearly all inclo-suros are now
provided with gntes. There are scarce
ly more than one pair bars to fifteen
gates. In some neighborhoods bar
have been entirely superseded by
gates. Gates are usually made with
'ommon fencing-boards, one inch
thick and six inches wide ; a post 3 by
4 at one end and 2 by 3 at the other,
end. Braces of boards of like size,
extending from bottom of the larger
post to the top of tho smaller. Cost
about $3.
8. New worm fence will cost about
$1 75 per rod. Post and rail fence has
almost gone out of use. I have seen
none made within the last twenty
years, with the exception of one
string. It would cost per panel of ten
feet, about $1.80. Board-fence per rod,
good lumber, and locust or red cedar
post, will cost about $2 four boards
high, and $2 15 to $2.20 live boards
high. Stone walls are not construct
ed and used for fences in this county.
0. I know of no way of answering
this question satisfactorily, as the an
nual repairs will so much depend up
on the age, material, &c, of tlie fence.
From the investigations I have made,
T am satisfied that it will take 15 per
cent, per annum of the original cost
of the fence to pay interest and Keep
up repairs.
10. Farmers prefer oak and walnut
rails. The latter would probably cost
$120 per thousand, and are not now
used. Where rails are used now,
farmers are willing to make them out
of almost any kind of timber. Where
board-fence is made, pine boards are
preferred. Locust and red cedar posts
are preferred, costing about 35 cents
each. Oak posts are somewhat cheap
er but less durable.
11. Locust posts are believed not
only to be stronger than cedar, but
they hold nails better and are more
durable.
Permit me to add further. We have
in this county 293,000 acres of land,
all inclosed. Ve have at least 2.G00,-
000 rods of fencing, some costing
largely more, yes, four-fold tho price
at which T have estimated our fence
per rod. But for the purpose of esti
mating the annual cost of maintain
ing our fences, including interest, let
me put the average at $2 per rod ; 2.
000,000 rods of fence, at $2. will cost
$5,200,000. Annual cost of maintain
ing same, (including Interest.) at 15
per cent, on original cost, $280,000
These figures are astounding, and yet
1 believe that they are not too high.
Material for rail-fences will soon be
out of the question, and lumber of ev
erykind isannually becoming scarcer,
and necessarily will increase in price.
I.s it not, therefore, highly important
that laws restraining stock from run
ning at large should meet with more
favor ; that fields should be enlarged ;
that soiling should be more practiced,
and that farmers should thereby be
relieved from the great burden of
paying such immense sums for fenc
ing. Con 1 1 n u oil next wcolt
