The original cost of avow fences
together with .the expense of put-

each year, is an item of no small
dimensions. In the Province of On-
tario, says the Farmers' Advocate,
ani when we add to this the cost of
ploughing out highways and country
roads the figure is considerably in-
creased. This cost will grow
rather than become less, :for the

replace snow fences, Hedges of for-
est trees planted around 30 feet

fectiveness of tree rows in prevnt-

have inaugurated a similar polf071
