The farmers will understand that
under the feme law, as it now stands,
they must take care of their stock
Owners of land do not need to fence
out cattle, and, therefore, the own
er of cat tie is responsible for the dam
age his cattle do, if ho permits them
to run at large. This is a very rad
ical change in the law, and it may bo
in many places difficult for the own
ers of cuttle to accommodate them
selves to it.but they will lc compell
