Mr. W. L. Gibbs expresses the
opinion that the masqaite growth
of this country can be proitably
utOiaed as a hedge growth and we
believe so too. It is well worthy
a trial and in case it should prove
a success it would revolutionize
the fence problem. Let some one
give it a trial and report. Taylor

We believe there is a valuable
pointer in the above item. The
idea occurred to us not long ago
and we suggested it to one or two
persons. It will cost nothing to
try it and be but little trouble and
if it is a success the. knowledge of
it will be worth a mint of money to
this country. Will not some of
our readers fay it! We would
suggest to select some end of a
field where a permanent fence will
be wanted and throw six or eight
furrows together with a turning
plow harrow down and open a fur-
row in the center and sow' the mes-
quite beans in It and cover two or

Even the Gsaga orange requires
constant cutting to make a dura-

alone it is as much inclined to an
open growth as the m esq into.
