The Ownership OF Manure.
American Cultlvator


II he's been an oft-disputed question
whether when a tenented farm r. sold the
manure which Is piled in heaps In the
barn yard goes with the farm or may be
removed Such a case came up ia New
York state a few years ago. The Judge
there decided that II the manure was
made from the product OF the farm and
fed 10 the animals IL must be regarded as
belonging 10 the farm. and a part of the
real estate. But tenant hiring farm
and buying hay. fodder and grain for
horses or COWS is entitled to all that these
produce. In other words, what comes from
the farm must be returned TO IL IL in the
shape OF excrement. But IL uneaten It
could be sold by the tenant or original
owner. II was an lrishman who said OF
this decision: Sure. and it's very strange
laws ye have IN America. I own a COW
and she is personal property. j own some
hay and that is personal property, too.
But when 1 feed the hay to the cow that
makes real estate of it," But the decision
is based on sound reasoning. No other
land than that which has borne crop is
better entitled TO the manure which feed
ing 1t produces.

The principle Of this machine Is a va

Of the mir from n storage tank and the

exhaustion is caused by an air pump
which can he driven by n belt from A

one and one-half 10 two horse power ia
enough 10 milk twenty COWS. One man
driving an air pump can milk four cows

tricate part OF the whole machine is the
Guns. and the similarity of their action

the calf The ppisation Of the cup on the
reat Is caused by the vacuum vibrating
from five 70 fifteen pounds; when AZ ff-
teen pounds the cup closes on the teat. at

must be regulated TO about forty-iive
strokes per minute.

California Fruit Abroad.

fruit of the Pacific coast. II Is great

but Il looks as IL IL might be successfully

summer, during which time weekly ship
ments OF California fruit have been made
TO England. has been encouraging TO the
company which has started this bust

develop in the most satisfactory manner.

Fall Pigs.

Pigs that are fsrrowed late IN the fan
rarely make thrifty hogs. This IS partly
because milk Is scarcer then. and the sows
not having any succulent feed do not give
so large a flow. Another reason is that
in the fall new corn is plenty and cheap.
The soft corn and nGboins are fed az once
70 the hogs. and too often the small pigs
are allowed 20 eat with them. The best
Use for most pigs narrowed in October or
November IS 20 keep them growing thrift
ily. and sell them about holiday time for
roasters. They make a most delicious
morse!.
