Injunction abate or enjoin the same.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has
decided that where a planter puts his
cotton into the hands OF another per-
son to sell, according to the custom of
trade, and that person does not account
for the same after selling, the original
owner can not recover from the pur-
chaser, but must look to the authorized
seller for proceeds of the sale. This
decision should teach planters the i'm
portance of not parting with their cot
ton without proper security from the
parties acting for them in it's sale.
The Supreme Court of North Caro-
lima holds that where a person mort
cages land the mortgage becomes en-
titled to the land, and in the absence
of any agreement to the contrary be-
comes entitled to all the crops pro-
duced upon it from year to year until
the mortgage debt is discharged. In an
other case the same court holds that a
mortgage is the owner OF the land and
can take possession at any time. One
who deals with the mortgagor in pos
session must take notice of the mort
gage if registered. Where a mort
gagor in possession gives a lien on tho
crop and the mortgage takes possess
sion, the contract for the lien is gone.
And if the mortgagor then becomes
the tenant of the mortgage, who
makes the advances, the lien of the
landlord becomes superior to other
liens.
According to Digest of Farm Laws,
by Henry Austin. the owner or occu-
pant of land may drive off animals tres
passing upon it and use any reasona-
BILE means for this purpose. He may
drive such animals into the highway,
but if he drives them any further
along the highway than is necessary
to keep them off his land, he is
responsible for any injury thereby
caused to their owner, such as their
loss by straying. The occupant may
turn off in a similar manner animals
which are not trespassing, as when
they come upon his land through de-
feet of fences which it was his duty to
maintain. But in such cases, if the
animals are owned by an adjoining
proprietor to whom he owes this duty,
he must drive them upon their owners
premises, and not upon the highway,
under pain of penalty for their loss.
A person may drive trespassing ami
mails off his land by using dog for
the purpose if he exercises care.
For example, where the de-
PENDANT, finding the plaintiffs horse to
have strayed upon the premises, set
ferocious dog upon it and seriously in
jured it, the defendant was held re-
sponsible for the injuries thus inflict-
ed. In the absence OF statuary enact
ments requiring railroad companies to
fence, the owner of animals is bound
to use ordinary care and diligence for
the purpose of preventing them from
straying upon land properly inclosed,
and if he allows them to wander unat-
tended upon q railroad which is sutfi-
GENTLY fenced, he is liable for the
damage done to q train which is
thrown off the track by running over
them, unless the railroad is guilty of
contradictory negligence

The temptation to borrow fallen
leaves from the woodland is great; but
the trees need all of this fertility, this
reservoir of moisture, this natural
covering for the seeds, this protection
for the young sprouts. The wise
forester will leave the leaves in the
wood.
1T is reported that over 100 cane
mills and evaporators have been sold
in Troy, Ala, this season to the farm
ers of that Pike) County and the adj

that the people are trying to live more

sugar.
The Barbour County (Ala,) Po-
mona Grange has adopted resolutions
against the appropriation by the State
of $4,000 for immigration purposes,
at the suggestion Of the State Agri-
cultural Society. II thinks the best

out so large an outlay.
In Eastern North Carolina water
melons in past years have been very

and improvement is hoped for.
1t is an old practice, too little
known, to freeze onions and then cover
them with hay or straw SO that they
may be kept frozen until ready for use.
They may be preserved in this way for
an indefinite period. Onions may also
be kept without freezing by burying
them in a NOW of hay or straw.
Pineapple culture in Florida is on
the increase. One grower, having
nearly two hundred and fifty thousand
plants under cultivation, says there is
no danger of overproduction; for, be-
sides the marketing of the fresh fruit,
he makes excellent wine, healthful
cider and prime vinegar from the sur
plus product, and for canning they are
among the best # fruits.
