The wonderful development in agri
culture and the improvements on land

possible to correctly estimate the actual

land without the aid of U. S. census for
1890 which has not been given to the
public yet The following will serve in
a way to give somo idea of the advance
in agricultural improvement.

bo over 300 years old. There are perfect
Hedges or Live Fences in the Unitinl
States ovnr 50 years in use. The lowest
cost of keeping any fence in repair is
equal to its first cost every ten jears
and the Hedge Row not to exceed its
first cost in every 50 jears. It is the
only kind of a fence that is a permanent
improvement on land, hence to have
Hedge Rows grown by the Dayton Sys
tem H a paying investment to the farm
and not an expense, and good fences are
a necessity and not a luxury. The well
managed and paying farm is one with
substantial as well aaornamental fences.
The Nebraska Hedge Company fur
nishes and plants out over 9,000 hardy
Acacia plants to one mile, doing all of
the planting and trimming while fence
is growing. Where the plants or canes
are of a sufficient size they are all bent
in the root to an angle of 45 degrees and
plashed to four horizontal wires, requir
ing miles of wire and 36,000 copper
plated 6teel staples to each mile and
driven in the cane by a special device or
tool, making a complete Hedge and
wire fence combided with no post to rot
out or to re-set, no row3 of bramble
bushes nor sagging wire fences of little
service to a farmer and an eye sore on
the land.
Although the Nebraska Hedge Co
own twelve United States patents cov
ering this system of planting, dwarfing
and plashing Hedge or Live fences and
own their tools for doing their work
they have no patent rights to sell nor do
they take any notes or cash payments,
etc. for auy work only as it is completed.
Their company is chartered for twenty
years, has a capital of 8200,000 and is
composed of responsible and reliable
business men and farmers, whose sole
business it is to grow, complete and
trim Hedge Rows or Live fences for
farmers and land owners.
FACTS.
Hundreds of thousands of rods of
splendid hedge fence have been grown
and completed under this system, giving
evidence of the strongest kind in favor
of living fences. All that is necessary
to secure a perfect, practical, bog-tight
and 6tock proof fence is dry and suit
able ground, proper preparation of the
row, and cultivation of the plants.
Every farmer admires good fences be
cause they are a source of profit and
comfort.

There is a large amount of Honey
Locust and Osage Orange Hedges in
this township. Ihav&quitea quantity
of both on my farm, but find the Locubt
far superior to the OBage, for it is not
affected in the slightest by the hard
Michigan winters, ind will do woll on
any of our soils. The HedgfCompany '
6 stem makes a close, firm basis, and re
duces the trimming to such a degree
that it is no longer any chore to take
care of them. Geoi McGee.
