imperialism. Who is there but sees
there is nothing in it and can be nothing
in itY The democrats define it as the
usurping of government without the
consent of the governed. No govern

coerced. In our republic the majority
rules at the expense of the minority.
Anti-imperialism is secession. If you
can't control without consent, you can't
coerce without force, and there is left
only anarchy and discord Hon. f. II.
Watson said: The greatest issue of

A farmer and town sport got into Il
discussion the other day as to the own
ership of the prairie chickens which
the sport knew might be found on the
land of the farmer and which the
farmer refused to let him shoot. The
sport claimed that from time immemo-
rial wild game had been regarded as
public property and that his right to
the birds was just exactly as good as
that Of the farmer. The granger warm
ly disputed this view of the matter and
reminded the town man tt at these
chickens had been raised not only on
the farm of the granger but on his
grain, bugs and grasshoppers, and that
il anybody owned the birds he did, and,
further inasmuch as the law gave him
the power to keep the town man from
Killing his birds, he proposed to do it.
There is no doubt that the farmer had
the right Of this argument, and the
sooner town sports understand that
he right to enter upon mans farm
ind shoot the game Is one granted
wholly from courtesy on the part Of
he owner Of the land the better it will
re. A general and united action by
and owners on this line Is the only
hing which will prevent the complete
determination of all our game birds.

MORE ABOUT DOGS.

A lady reader Of these notes in Min
nesota wishes we would say some
thing more about dogs as an allaround
nuisance We not long since, under
the head of THE Dog Prisoner" said
about all that it is probably best "a
say. People will never agree upon
the dog question. A dog may have
heas and hydrophobia may suck eggs
and steal chickens, may scratch W
flower beds and bite the parsons Sims
when he calls. may kill sheep and chew
the stuffing out OF his own. brother on
the next lot, and there will always be
some sentiEentalist to defend and
pity him, some fool woman TO pet and
slabber over him. Dogs have their
proper place in the economy of the
world, and it is only when removed
from their proper sphere that they be-
come nuisance. AS an aid to man
in the pursuit of game, as protector
of his property, as a beast Of burden
and means of transportation in some
countries. the dog performs a useful
part, and for some people who have
the disease the dog, as friend and
companion, has a mission, but when
we see as we did not very long ago,
lady on the cars letting her baby
squall unconcernedly in the arms Of a
nurse for want Of needed maternal at

little measly brute Of a pug, it does
not look right. We are very much of
the opinion that the world would be
better off WITHOUT dogs than it is with
them.

TREES ON TIE LINE.

We have before us an inquiry like
this: MY neighbor some years ago
planted eight apple trees on the line
between his lot and mine, the treSs be-
ing set just inside the line upon his lot.
They are now of bearing age, and one
half of the top of these trees projects
over on to my lot, and one-half of the
fruit borne by them hangs over my
and. wish you would tell me wheth-
er have any rights in those trees and
their product AS very many Of our
.eaders are interested in this problem
s5f line trees, shade as well as fruit
Gearing trees, we give some of the law
POINTS covering the matter.
II in the case referred to us the trees
TODD exactly on the boundary line be-
ween the two lots. they would be the
property of both owners as tenants in
'ommon, and neither could cut them
lown or use their product without the
onsent of the other. If such trees are
rowing wholly on the neighbours lot
md only the branches overhang the
and of our correspondent, he thereby
acquires no right or title to the fruit
rowing on such tree, the courts ignor-
ng the fact that such tree may be
lrawing one-half of it's sustenance
rom his land, and further he cannot
prevent his neighbor from entering up
IN his premises to pick up the fallen
ruit or gather that which may hang
,ver on his side of the line, but he has
edress In this, that he may trim such
rees so as to prevent them from hang
ng over on to his land, and he may
'urther cut the roots Of such trees If
iatistied they are doing him harm, or
lie may bring an action for damage
against his neighbor on account of the
maintenance of such trees.
A more common case involving the
points given is found all through the
prairie west where man plants will

soft maple trees close to the line Of his
neighbours land, such trees when a foot

exhausting it's fertility making 1t i'm
possible to grow crop within two
rods of them. Men who are subjected
to this sort of an imposition clearly
have in law valid claim for damage
against their neighbor who thus i'm
poses upon them.

A decided novelty in the line of mix
ID crops is being successfully adopted
~ a friend of the writer's, being a
combination of potatoes and buck
Wheat. At the time of the last blowing
# the potato crop, which is usually
long about the last of June, the field
s seeded with buckwheat and culti-
ated in. The buckwheat takes COM
ilete possession cf the field by the time
he potatoes are ripe, prevents the
,rowth of all weeds and when harvest
I'd in September gives a good crop,
leaving the soil clean and mellow for
the digging of the potatoes. From an
experiment with a small patch the
acreage SO treated has grown from
year to year until this year % acres Of
this dual crop is being gathered Our
friend reports the plan every way sue
cessful, and it would seem to be worth
n trial, for we have nearly all had an
experience with a weedy potato patch
weeds which grow after the potato
,rop is laid by. 1t may be noted that
neither Of these crops is exhaustive

ut is the finest thing which ever
happened to the farmers Of the coun-
try said granger a few days since,
referring to a new rural mail route
which had been established in his
neighborhood. 1T is one of the worst
things which ever happened to the
country merchant" said the proprietor
of a general store in town of 1000
people, also referring to the new mail
route. The farmer claimed that he
was at last brought into daily contact
with the busy old world which lay out
side the boundary lines of his farm,
that he could now take a daily paper,
keep better posted on the markets and
be relieved of the necessity of going or
sending to town so frequently. The
storekeeper claimed that as a result of
the establishment Of the new mail
route the farmer would buy less at
home and more away from home, and
he was warmly indorsed by the restau-
rant man who furnished the farmer
his lunch, the liveryman who stabbed
his team and the saloon keeper who
sold him too often more beer than was
good for him. All the same, the rural
mail route has come to stay, and the
merchant, the restaurant man, the liv-
eryman and the saloon keeper will
have to adjust their business to it as a
long needed and progressive step in
the agricultural development of the
country.

THE TRACTION rNcrNn.

A few days ago we watched q man
moving large building with n trae-
ton engine. and it did the work In O
most satisfactory manner WE have
been Of the opinion for some time that
This useful and practical machine could
have its usefulness still further extend
ed in connection with Improving the
highways. Given a gravel pit located
within, say, two or three miles OF a
highway which needs coat of gravel.
why could not good work be done with
such an engine hauling three or four
low built, wide tired truck wagons
holding about two yards of gravel
apiece? With a shift of such trucks
and two or three men at the pit to load
them and man or two to level off ut
the terminus long piece Of good road
could be made every working day, the
travel of the engine and trucks over
the completed road operating to i'm
pact it as would roller. Up to a dis
lance of three miles we believe such
method could be most economically
used and would like to see it tried. The
trucks for carrying the gravel could
be built at small expense and be tho
property Of the township.

A LIVING ON FOUR ACRES.

A laboring man with $500 in money
saved up and wife and three chill.
dren asks us whether he could buy
three or four acres of land near town
If 5000 population and make living
)ff from such tract Of land and if 1t
ean be done wants us to tell him how.
It would exceed the limit of space at
our disposal to give in detail the in
formation which he wishes. We can
only say, first, that he can make a
good living from such tract, and sec
ond, that it will have to be used as
garden and for the growing of small
fruits in order to do so. An acre OF
strawberries or raspberries properly
cared for will of themselves give the
man who cares for them almost as
much money as the man will earn at
days work for the whole year. With
such tract a COW may be kept some
chickens and pigs enough to supply
the family with a good share of the
meat needed An acre in onions or
melons win bring in from $75 to 500,
while large bed of asparagus will
bring in a lot of money before other
crops are marketable in the spring. If
to these things be added small green
house, where winter radishes and let
tuce can be grown and some flowers
roses, carnations and chrysanthemums
he can make his little farm source
Of income throughout the entire year.
Many a man is working by the day
year in and year MA for, say, $500
who could immense / tier his condi-
ton by doing sonnet .Dg on the line
above indicated.
