On farms where much. stock is to be raised fences are cinite necessary, but on faims devoted to.fruit g-rowieg. vege- table raising qr grain prodirction there can be little need for a large expenditure in the woys of fences, The existence of uselese feces is the cause of much waste of time and labor in the performing of the farm work. Where stock raising is carried on on a considerable scale we must have fences', foe the farm crops must be rotated and the pasture must be included in the rotation. This is true of those farms where there is not a large permement pasture. In the case of such a farm, it should be enough to fence the pasture or pastures thoroughly.
