LAWYERS IN LUCK.

FIGHTING FOR FoRTUNE-AN FIECT1fENr
SUIT N WHICH OVER Z MILLION DoLLA ~ Is
INVOLVED.
Strange bu! true that great estates usually
pass through the adhesive hands of the law
yers before heirs can agree to the disposition
of the property. Here's another iIlustra-
ton, from the New York Sun: The in
portant ejectment suit TO recover lauda AZ
Iaurel Hin, near Long Island City, was de-
cided yesterday in Hampstead before Judge.
Tappen. 10 1904 Thomas Belts, who owned
a farm OF one hundred acres near what is
known as the Penny Bridge, in Newtovn
township, died. His will stipulated that
his tarA was TO DO LETT TO his wife and his
heirs by him. In case there was no issue.
the farm as her death was to go to the child
rem of his Two sisters. Mrs. Bstts died with
cut children, and in 1906 Mr.. Waters took
possession of the farm as executor and sold
IL 20 John Allsop, paying off loan mort
gage Of 81 800 which had been put on the
farm by Mr.. Belts, and giving ? bond and
mortgage for 50, 100 to the guardian OF the
heirs. Then Allsop conveyed the farm back
70 Waters for nominal sum. In 1855
Waters sold the farm for $Gs 900 To Augustus
Van Mater, who, in 1868, sold it to the de-
fendant, Augustus Rspelyea. Mr.. RapelYea
improved the place, and afterwards sold
about sixty lots from it, on which many
valuable houses have been built. In 1872
Belts descendants sued the owners of the
property 10 recover it on the grounds that
Waters had obtained possession frsudu-
lensly, and that his title was not good.
There were between fifty and sixty suits The
cause of Partridge and others against Rapel-
yea was test case. The defendants averred
that the title Of Waters was good as he had
given bond and mortgage to the heirs. But
they particularly relied on the statute of
limitation, urging that they had been in
quiet possession seventy-six years. The
Judge in charging the jury, said that the suit
was begun too late, that the plaintiff having
slept Gpon their rights 50 long could not
DOW legally sue, and be instructed the Jury

names of reputable nurserymen to sell
their wares, without authority, Their
commissions range from fifty to sixty

Mir. Cavanagh said that trees year
old were the best to buy for planting.
1t should also be observed that they
are carefully packed in straw, and
shielded from the fierce rays of the sun.

The New York Farmers Club on Tree
Peddlers.

Mr. Todd said a few practical OBJ
servations concerning this subject may
be instructive and advantageous to be-
ginners in fruit culture First, never
procure stock Of any kind, species, or
varieties, of tree peddlers, as one never
has any assurance that be receives what
is purchased. 1t is Known to be com
mon practice among tree peddlers to
purchase culls, and greatly inferior
trees and vines, at nominal price, and
to send such worthless trash to their
patrons, who have purchased trees and
vines Of the first quality. Tree peddlers
are now canvassing the country, vii
lagos and cities, selling grape vines at
the enormous price of 81 to 50 each,
when responsible nurserymen offer far
better vines for fifteen to twenty cents
each. Tree peddlers that canvassed
our vicinity asked seventy-five cents
each for apple trees and transcendent
crab trees, when every customer within
one hours drive of the Rockland
County Nurseries " could have received
far better and larger trees of the varie-
ties named, free of charge at their own
doors, the same day the stock was dug
up, at the low prices Of eighteen and
twenty cents each Second, plant none
but trees that have life and numerous
roots. Third, discard all trees and
vines that have been poorly heeled in
during the Winter, as the rootlets and
fbres of such stock will be injured in
many instances hey ond recovery. Fourth
reject trees that have been stunted by
injudicious management in the nursery.
Fifth, choose thrifty trees, three or
four feet in height, rather than those
seven to eight feet. Sixth, let every
tree be cultivated SO that the top will
increase in size not less than two feet
upward and four feet laterally every
season. We have wild-goose plum
trees, peach trees, and Downing's null
berry, that were transplanted last April
many of which have made strong branch,
es upward and on every side of the
stem from thirty to fifty inches. Next
season some of them will yield fruit:

regard to tree peddlers. They imposed

Now we must tell bit Of story. A
year or two ago we stepped into book

fifty miles away. 1t was dead weight
on his hands and he was glad to sell it
to US for SO cheap price. Here was a
bookseller in location surrounded by
an immense community of farmers, and
where, too, there was not enough inter.
est in agricultural reading to make it
an inducement for him to keep one
standard work on his shelves. We
presume there are hundreds of those
farmers who have little or nothing to dc

How SALT FISH SHOULD BE FRESH
ENED.-Many persons are in the habit
of freshening mackerel or other salt fish,
and never dream that there is right
and wrong way to do it. Any per-
son who has seen the process Of evap-
srating going on at the salt works,
knows that the salt falls to the bottom
Just so it is in the pan where your
mackerel or white-fsh lies soaking and
as it lies with the skin side down, the
salt will fall to the skin and there re-
main, when, if placed with the flesh
side down, the salt falls to the bottom
of the pan, and the fish comes out
freshened as it should be. In the 9TH
er case, it is nearly as salt as when put
in. If you do not believe this, test the
matter for yourself

VALUE OF AGRICULTURAL PUBLICA-
TIoNs.-We have at the present day
many judiciously conducted periodicals,
and no farmer who has proper pride
in his profession but takes one or more
agricultural papers.
These productions from practical
farmers, amusc, interest, and instruct.
They excite us to increased exertion
inspire us with confidence in undertake
ngs which otherwise would be aban-
doned upon the first failure; give us
plans the most approved for all our
farm buildings make suggestions which
are often of the greatest importance

The farmer must obtain all the in
formation possible by reading, and then
reflect, reason, decide and practice in
accordance with his best Judgment.

found that a quantity of lime, which
had accidentally been spilled and rem
dered worthless by becoming mixed
with the refuse, on the stable floor, had
been thrown at the foot of and around
the tree, and to this, as the principal
cause, he immediatey accredited the re-
vival and renewed qualification of the
tree. Taking the hint from the Incl
dent, he purchased twelve casks of lime
and applied half bushel to each of the
trees in his orchard, and found that it
produced immediate beneficial effects.
Not the health of the tree only but the
quality Of the fruit also was greatly i'm
proved. The HERALD adds that it has
known some farmers to make it regu-
lar practice for succession of years to
throw caustic lime around their apple
trees in the spring and summer.

RANCID BUTTER.-We long ago cut
from an exchange the following recipe :
ITO pint Of water add 80 drops
(about half teaspoonfuD of liquor or
chloride of lime. Wash in this two
and half pounds of rancid butter.
When every particle has come in con-
tact with the water, let it stand an hour
or two; then wash the butter well
again in pure water. The butter is
then left without any oder, and has the
sweetness of fresh butter. These pre-
parations of lime have nothing injurious
in them
We forthwith obtained from Mr.. D.
Nicholson, as 4 personal favor, some OF
the most rancid butter in his very eX-
tensive establishment, and it was bad
enough for any stomach that had more
sensibIity than wagon wheel. We
doctored it as per recipe, and when
placed on the table along with good
butter, very able judges could not dis
tinguish the new butter. Here is fact
worth years subscription to paper.

Presbytery Of Montana.

Last Saturday evening Revs. L. B.
Crittendcn and w. G. Rommel arrived in
this place to attend meeting of the Pres.
bytery of Montana On Sunday morning
Mr.. Crittenden preached an interesting
sermon to q large and appreciative congre

church would be dedicated at the evening
service. Mr.. Rommel preached. Mr..
Crittenden made the dedicatory prayer.
The members of this church have the
honor of having completed the first Pres
byterian House of worship in the Terri
tory. Mr.. Kommel is great favorite with
the people on this side the range nd he
has been attracting good congregations Of
attentive hearers every night during the
week. The Presbytery met on Monday
evening. The business transacted was
not such - would prove interesting to the
most of our readers Is 1t concerned chiefly
the relations of the Presbytery to the board
OF Home Missions. The overture on the
Eldership sent down to the Presbyterie,
by the General Assembly, was disapproved.
Rev. J. r. Russell was appointed Commis.
sioner to attend the General Assembly of

RAILROAD CONVENTION.

The assemblage ut Helena on tue Sis

county 10 the Territory but one. The pro

in regard to terms and considerations.

There is 10 be meeting of Stockholders

that time it will be determined to 60 on
with work on the road vigorously. We
think there is no doubt that the Northern
Pacific folks will rccommence work and
keep at it. and if this should he done
Montana will be very willing to render
substantial aid to bring the road to the
Territory at as carly day as possible.
This section is earnestly in favor of liberal
subsidies to the Northern Pacific, and we
believe that the people Of the whole Terri
tory prefer the Northern Pacific to any
other railroad project. Ina few days Gen.
Rosser will no doubt promulge the objects
Of his mission, and our people will wait
with anxiety for his views and plans asI

BLOCKADE OF THE UNION

road is submerged by water for distanc.
Of thirty miles. Eight large bridges have

Ogden is said to be crowded with travel
ers from the west on account of the lock
out on the Union Pacific. The track is
washed out in seven places between that
place and Evanston. The railroad officials
state that it will be at least three or four
weeks before the road is in running con-
dition again, If not longer. Arrangements
will be made, however, to transfer the
mails as soon as possible, and We may look
for ton or two for each of US within
two or three days. There has been no
mail since Tuesday last.
The came paper of the Goth saws: The
blockade still continue, on the Union
Pacific, and not much encouragement is
given to believe that it will soon be broken
Forty places altogether were washed out.
