Lawlng Among Farmers.

We can conceive of nothing more un-
pleasant than litigious neighbor; and
where such person abounds you are
never certain that something may not
turn up affording him an opportunity
to indulge in his offensive propensity.
He is always on the lookout TO display
his determination to let the world see
his knowledge Of his rights and what is
Justice. No man shall rob him Of what
belongs to him; and forthwith he be-
gins a suit. He loses his case, of course,
but he puts his neighbor t. one or two
hundred dollars of costs, us well as HIM
self, and so in the end his neighbor
10. es rs much as he does. We know Of
nothing that causes so many breaches OF
good neighborhood as boundary lines and
trees along such lines. 1t seems to have
been q common belief that the fruit Of
that portion of tree at or near h m,
extending its roots into neighbor' $
ground, and the branches of which also
spread over his land, belong to the
neiohbor; but in a recent case in n
neighboring State it has been decided
to The contrary, and that the neighbor
can actually come on TO your premises
and gather the fruit, no matter what in
convenience you may suffer. Never
theless. as there is nothing so uncertain
as the law, we do not think that such is
the law everywhere, or in many places;
and, even II it is, it is by no means
equity. Still, in the face of this decis'
ion, il was admitted that the branches
of the trees overspreading your ground
could be cut away and removed by tht
neighbor!
The best course 10 pursue, especially
by farmers, is to avoid all misunder
standings. Kindly disposed people
who would rather suffer from injustice
on the part of a neighbor than ther'
should be an unfriendly feeling betweel
them, will find in the end how mucl
pleasanter il is. II quarrelsom,
neighbor chooses to brag that he al
lows no man to get ahead of him, ant
how he fixed his neighbor Smith; OF
rather, how he would have fixed him
he had not promptly "backed out, !" lie
