Trees on the Partition 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 trees
being 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 into my lot and one
half of the fruit borne by them hangs
over my land. | wish you would tell
me whether | have any right to those
trees and their products?" As very
many of our readers are interested in
this problem of line trees, shade as
well as fruit bearing trees, we give
some of the law points covering the
matter:
If in the ease referred to us the
trees stood exactly on the boundary
line between the two lots they would
be the property of both owners as
tenants in common, and neither
could cut them down or use their
product without the consent of the
other. If such trees. are growing
only the branches overhang the land
of our correspondent. he thereb,N ac-
quires no right or title to the Huit
SIONiuS oH Sutu trees, the courts
ignoring the fact that such tree may
be drawing one-half of its substance
from his land, and further, he cannot
prevent his neighbor from entering
upon his premises to pick up the
fallen fruit or gather that which may
hang over his side of the line, but
he has redress in this, that he may
trim such trees so as to prevent them
from hanging over onto his land and
he may further cut the roots of
such trees If satisfied they are doing
him harm, or he may bring an action
for damages 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 a
willow hedge or a row of cotton
wood or soft maple trees close to the
line of his neighbours land, such
trees when a foot through either by
shading the soil or exhausting its
fertility, making it impossible to grow
a crop within two rods of them.
Men who are subjected to this sort OF
/ imposition clearly have in law a
valid claim for damage against their
neighbor who thus imposes upon
them.

Try this if you like a good cheese:
Buy a cheese of September make of
medium size and about thirty days
old; get a lot of jelly tumbl2rs or
pint fruit jars; cut the cheese up;
remove the rind and press into the
tumbler or jars just as firmly as pos
sible; cover the top with a coating of
prepared parrafine wax and set in a
cool corner in the cellar. If you We're
careful in selecting the well made
cheese, you will have the incest
cheese all winter you ever tasted.
and it will be in convenient shape for
use without waste.

We paused by Q tract of brush
land short time ago which present
ed most peculiar appearance. Il was
difficult to determine whether it had
been hit by summer cyclone, visit
ed by swarm of grasshoppers, or
struck by hail storm. The under
brush was stripped clean of all leaves,
small trees had been bent over and
peeled of leaves and bark and what
was once an almost impenetrable
thicket of LEAKAGE and verdure on the
hillside and valley looked like bat
tlefield after the last gun was fired.
The solution of the mystery lay in
flock of Angora goats which were
lying down by the creek. There is
no doubt about it, man, if you have
any brush land which you want clear
ed, get Angora goats to do it.

The sweet corn pack OF the western

year. The crop of corn was the best

close to $40 per acre for the ears

Theoretically big corn crop makes
cheap pork, but the crop is not ex-
ceptionally large this year and it
goes into empty cribs. Corn is not
likely to be worth less than twenty
five cents, even where the yield is
most abundant.

The meanest' of all mean weeds in

The big ears on the corn all

harvesting machines and more than

off in the attempt to cut the corn.
