growing trees near their dwellings, which
in time exclude both light and air. and
cause the building standing constantly in
the shade, TO became unhealthy. In cold
climates deciduous trees should always
be preferred to cvergrecns, when planted
in positions likely TO shade the house,
because IL is only in hot whcather that
shade Is desirable, and in winter all the
light and solar heat to be obtained are re-
quired for both comfort and health. As
a rule, we should say, keep all trees Of
larger growth at least one hundred feet
from dwelling house, using the inter
vening space as a lawn, in which may
be planted small growing trees and
shrubs. Evergreen trees should be EN-
ployed exclusively for ornamentation,
or as windbreaks, but never for shade.
A ROAD CATTLE Casa case in
volving damage done by road cattle"
was decided by arbitrators at Doyles-
town, Bucks county, few days ago.
A man named Reeder was in the practice
of turning his cattle cut upon the high
ways to pasture, and they naturally broke
into the corn-felds Of the neighbors.
They did 30 into the corn-feld Of another
farmer by the name of Harvey, doing
more or less damage. The latter had
frequently demonstrated against this un-
neighborly proceeding, but Reeder paid
no attention to 1t, and continued to turn
out his cattle. Suit was at last brought
to recover damages before Justice of
the Peace, who awarded Harvey the sum
Of five dollars. The decision Reeder ap-
pealed from to arbtrators, and the latter,
after hearing the case, affirmed the award
of Justice. Reeder's counsel quoted
100 law, which obliged property owners
to maintain good fence five feet high
and closed at the bottom; but Harvey's
quoted decision of Judge Kennedy, of
the Supreme Court, of 1874, in which the
owners of cattle running at large were
responsible for damages committed
by such cattle. Later and more import
ant decisions might have been quoted to
show that ownersh have no right to pasture
their cattle or to allow them to run at
large upon public highways. Hall a dozen
years ago the Supreme Court decided that
owners cannot recover damages for cattle
killed on railroads; indeed, the opinion
was implied that the owners ought to be
held responsible for the damages sustained
by railroad company by reason Of such
cattle, in their property, and TO the pas
sengers, freight, ETC., carried upon them.
The rights of farmers, moreover, 60
further than this as to the ownership OF
pasture, minerals, etc, on that portion
