Homestead Entrie. Cannot BE Mortsared.

Aomsstse0 Entries Cannoe BE Mortgaged.
In the case OF Webster ct al. w. Bowman
ct al. in the United States circuit court at
st. Paul, Judge Nelson sustained Il de-
murrer, and in the accompanying opinion
made ruling upon the subject OF the
mortgaging of homestead entries, in
which he stated that the prop
erty in question was located under
tho homestead laws OF tho United States,
and was sold under mortYage year before
the homesteader had resided thereon, the
time required by the conditions OF the law
to secure the title to the property. Under
tho circumstances, snys the opinion, there
can be no question but that the mortgage
ts invalid, and under the foreclosure the
mortgage retained the right to the prop.
srty.
Section 4 Of the homestead act provides:
mo lands claimed under the provisions OF
liable to the satisfaction Of any debt
contracted prior to the issuing Of the pat
ent therefor" There Is also provision
that before a patent can issue, an affidavit
must be made stating that the application

OF the party applying, and for actual set
Element, and not either directly or indirect
" Tor the use or benefit OF any other per-
son.
Under the provisions OF these two Sec
tions there cannot DO any question but
that the mortgage is invalid, and that un-
der the foreclosure the mortgage obtained
the right to the property. This question
has been up in analogous cases in the l4th
Kansas; the present Judge Of the district
gave an opinion; also in the 5th Nebrashn,
AL, and the 33rd Iowa, 374.
The mortgage was sustained in these cases
upon the ground that although the mort
gage had been executed before the patent
issued, yet the homesteader had resided
upon the land the time required by the
statute OF the United States, and had full
filed all the conditions and requirements,
and the only question was that the govern
ment had failed to give him patent The
court held that lie was entitled to the pat.
ent In trust for him, and that he had a
right to mortgage the property at that

description, which were lighted on portable
frames or discharged from sheet iron tubes
with such a never slackening rapidity ss

parents of the former are Roman Catholics, and
those OF the latter are stsunch members OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The pair came to-

REASONS FOR TILE
DRAINING.

Soils are readily freed from any
excess of water.
Soils can be worked sooner in the
spring.
Requires less power and labor to
pulverize the soil.
Manures and fertilizers are more
readily appropriated.
Can plant several days earlier in
the spring.
Crops can be cultivated with much
less labor.
Can be cultivated regularly.
Noxious weeds are more readily
eXterminated.
Protects against damage from wet
weather.
Increases the depth of soil.
Gives a circulation of air through
the soil, so necessary to plant growth.

MORNING BIBLE-READING

The best time for Bible reading is
in the morning The mind and body
are fresh after the repose of the
night, and the highest powers of
thought may he brought to bear upon
the chapter selected. But, with most
people, each recurring morning
brings its own pressing tasks. Bust
ness cares, the daily toll and the du-
ties of the house are the first and
most engrossing concerns. Some
hours must pass with many before
they can find time to sit down TO any
quiet reading. Let the plan he hon.
estly tried by taking some words
from Gods Book for the first ,nedi-
tation of the morning. Make for
the month fair, steadfast trial of
the plan of studying the Bible when
your faculties are at mental high
water mark. GU wonder at The ia
miliarity of this or that friend with
the Psalms, the Epistles, or the Cos
pels. It has been gained, little at
time by patient daily reading,
thoughtful, prayerfnl reading, too,
which was hived by the soul as
something worth treasuring. We
shall all gain UNNECESSARILY in oul
influence as well as our comfort by
giving more unwearied thought 10 the
Holy Book. A few tired, sleepy
WORKOUT moments at night. and
those only, are almost an insult te
the Master whom you profess te
serve. -Selected.

work it performs, is quite astunish-
ing. If | understand the process
correctly (no one has explained it to
me, ) it is similar to that by which
salt water at sea is converted into
pure, fresh water, as is done on
ocean steamers. By an ingenious
arrangement the cream tube from
the separator can be raised or lower
ed so as to have the cream pure or
diluted with any percentage of milk.
We drank some of the milk when
perfectly separated from the cream
taken from the separator as it fell,
and found it apparently as good as
that usually furnished by the Troy
milkman.
/ forgot above to note at the
proper place another very important
and good quality in the cream separ-
ator. 1t makes third separation
by completely eliminating all dirt
and foreign substances from the milk
and cream, and deposits this dirt
away from both at the bottom. Thus
the cream and milk obtained by sep
ara tion are much cleaner than can be
rendered in any other way.
There are three large harrel-shaped
churns, which are rapidly revolved
by the power of the steam engine
when butter is to be made. The
barrel churns are revolved about for
ty turns minute, which speedily
converts the cream into butter. All
the details for butter making are
very complete. There is one large
refrigerator building, and large re-
frigerating room in another building.
There are employed on the farm one
carpenter, one blacksmith, one
butcher, and three steam engines,
hay cutters, and all modern agricul-
tural machinery and implements in
abundance. A saw mill is also util-
lied. AS whole it is an immense
farm, well equipped, and run on APP
proved scientific methods. Gov.
Smith has another very large farm
east of and very close to St. Adams,
on which ] believe he resides. Nc
butter has been wholesaled, off the
Point Farm at less than twenty-five
cents pound, and forty cents is
talked of as the future high price
mark. Jersey butter is retalled in
cities at fifty cents and even higher
Dairying is extensively carried on il
the vicinity of St. Adams, and tina
place is the greatest interior butter
market in New England.
