Drunkenness is no excuse for crime
The law presumes that every person
intends TO do that which he does.
A parole gift of personal property
must be accompanied by possession.
The attempt'to commit a, felony OF
misdemeanor is an indictable otfense.
The mortgage and not the mortga-
gor must pay the fees for recording the
mortgage.
A verbal release of Il debt, not found
ed on valuable consideration. will not
bar an action.
Any one who takes possession of a
minors estate without authority of the
law may be held responsible as guar
dian.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse for
the commission of crime, but ignorance
of facts may render civil contract
voidable.
Guardians, if practicable, must lend
out the money of their, wards on good
security and must collect the interest
annually.
An unwritten will of personal prop
erty is valid when the property does not
exceed $500, and the bequest is made
during the last sickness of the deceased.
A person may have his domicile in
one county or State, and his citizenship
in another. Citizenship is not lost or
changed by residence abroad, so long as
" the intention to return exists.
If an administrator or executor gives
note or makes any other contract in
his representative capacity which the
law does no. authorize, he fails to bind
the estate, but is individually liable
upon the same.
The father is the natural guardian and
custodian of his children but, i'm case
of separation, their custody may be
given to the mother. if the father is,
from any cause, unfit for their control or
unable to support them.
An action for the recovery of specific
property may be brought without Civ
ing the bond specified in the code, when
the simple question of title is tried, and
the possession OF the property is left
undisturbed.
1t is Il violation of the law for the oc-
cupiers Of lands under common fence
to turn their stock within the, general
Enclosure during the cropping season.
The party so offending commits an in
dictable offense, and is civilly liable for
all damages that ensue.
There is no warranty of title at an adj
ministrator's sale, but a personal repre-.
sentative is bound to make the purchaser
as valid conveyance Of such title as his
descendant had. He is liable, person
ally, tor all damages arising from his
failure to follow the law.
The voluntary concurrence of COM
petent minds is required to make valid
contract. If deception be, practiced by
either of the parties in material mat
ter. or either be so intoxicated as to be
unable to comprehend the nature and
effect of the transaction, this invalidates

Sowing should be done early in the
spring, as the ground is dry, mellow
and warm, and danger from heavy frost
is over, the date varying with the local.
ity, from the last of March to the first
of May. If sown too early weeds and
grass are likely to be troublesome, the
crop to be stunted, and hard frosts to
be harmful; but early sowing is neces-
sary to obtain afine quality of lint as
then the crop grows more steadily.
With reference to the soil, the best time
to SOW is when it is friable after shower
and Just after final narrowing. AS the
seed Is very slippery, great care must
be taken to sow it evenly, which is best
done by sowing--generally by hand
half of it first one way, and then cross
sowing the other half. A good sower
of grass seed should find little difficulty
in sowing flax seed properly. To cover
the seed brush harrow, drawn by
hand, is the best implement, as the
tramping of team is thus avoided
and the seed is covered just deep enough
not over an inch. A light seed har.
row is also extensively employed. This
should be drawn up and down and
crosswise to spread evenly and prevent
it from growing in rows in the depres-
sions made by the harrow teeth. Some
times the seed is left to be covered by
the rain; but this is the lazy mans
method and usually results in the lazy
mans ctop. Hand wedding is generally
considered too expensive in this country;
but great care must be taken before
sowing that all weeds and grass are,
thoroughly extripated, and single weeds
should be cut after the crop is up; if
pulled some of the flax is sure to come
up with them. The wedding should
be done with bare or stockinged feet
SO as not to injure the crop, and when
the latter is about six inches high, care
must be taken to leave the ground level,
otherwise the fax will not ripen evenly.
To insure this object light rolling is
generally given after seeding. Mime.
