THE FINDING OF HONEY.
Question That Has ENGAGED the
Attention Of Learned Jurists
for n Long Time.

Writing on laws relating To the find
ing of honey, Il. d. Fisher in Clean
ings says: There was a sort of code
among bee-hunters in the earlier days
of this country, and is said to have
been generally observed. 1t was to
the effect that when bee tree was
located and marked with the initials
of the finder, his rights were prima
facie, and zealously observed. But
this code did not hold good in law,
especially against those holding an in
terest in the land.
'lf person finds a bee-tree contain
ing honey, or a hive of bees on an
others land, and marks it at once with
his initials. he does not reclaim the
bees and vest the exclusive property of
the bees or honey in himself. as
against one of the heirs having an in
terest in the land; nor does he acquire
the right to bring in the courts the
usual action of trespass against the
heir for cutting down the tree and car
rying away the bees and honey says
the New York supreme court in the
case of Gillet vs.. Mason.
An early and noted case is reported
in l (Root) Conn. Goodwin sued Mer-
rill for cutting down tree in the
forest that had swarm of bees in it,,
and taking the honey which he Good
win) had previously discovered. Mer-
rill plead that said bees were a swarm
from his hive; that he had frequent
ly "lined" them to near said tree, and
that said bees were his property. The
plaintiff replied that he found them
wild in the woods, and had a good right
to take them. The trial court gave the
plaintiff judgment of 80 shillings dam
age.
The supreme court reversed this
Judgment, and said: "A mans find
ing bees in tree standing upon an
other mans land gives him no right
either to the tree or bees; and a
swarm of bees going from a hive, if
they can be followed and known, are
not lost to the owner, but may be re-
claimed"
As early as 1904 the New Hampshire
supreme court held that one who finds
a swarm of bees in a tree on another's
land, marks the tree with his initials,
and notifies the land owner, cannot
maintain trover against the land own
er for the bees and honey which he
obtained and converted to his own use
by telling the tree.

The Selection of PulIets.

AS your young stock grows, select
from all the broods the very finest,
strongest and most vigorous pullets
to keep for winter layers. Size,
strength and vigor have so much to
do with egg production that one
should study this continually in the
flock and train the eye to see the best
egg producers while yet undeveloped
Save all such for your own use; never
part with them unless you have more
than you need. After they are select.
ed keep them we'll under your own
eye and select from all these the very
best egg producers to lay the eggs
from which you will grow your future
stock, and gradually you will gain in
egg production. The best hens are
the ones that lay the largest number
of eggs that are of fair size, good form
and nicely finished. Such eggs sell the
best, usually produce the best and have
the best value in the market.-Feath.

WORK HAS STARTED.
Prism Plate Glass Works under
Construction.

Work Started this Morning Richard
-. Paddock is Looking after Con
tractors William A. Page is Mana
/ ger-0ther Officers Elected.
Work started Saturday on the con-
struction of the Pressed Prism Plate
I Glass Company. Mr.. Richard A.
| Paddock has charge of the construc-
ton and all the contractors will work
under bis supervision.
Contracts have been let for various
parts of the work aggregating $40
000 There are others which will
have to be let and these will bring the
cost of the plant up to something like
SIS, 600
No date has been fixed at which the
plant is to be completed but this will
be done at as early date as possible.
| All the men who can be secured will
be engaged in the work of building
the factory.
The plant is located up Deckers
creek just above Sabraton. Imme-
diately above it is TO be the West
Virginia Plate Glass Company and
| just above that is the Rolling Mill.
Other plants are located below it.
| Those who are interested in the
new concern were here and held a
meeting They elected officers as
| follows:
President Charles +. Coburn of Bos-
ton, Treasurer William A. Bond OF
Chicago, Manager William A. Page OF
Chicago now of Morgantewn. The
directors selected are Prof. E. L. O.
Wadsworth director of the Allegheny
Astronomical Observatory, Lucian A.
| Fisher of New York, j. X DENLY OF
New York and George G. Sturgiss of
Morgantown.
About forty people will be employed
in this factory to start on and Others
viii be added very rapidly until sew
eral hundred are working in it.
The company controls large num-
Der of patents and will manufacture
many lines Of glass product. The
most important work to be done
however is the manufacture of prisms.
1t is intended to make as many
prisms as all other concerns of The
character in the United States. A
new process will be used and the cost
Of production will be very greatly
cheapened.
Under the new process the produces
may be sold far below the prices which
will have to be charged by factories
using the old process and yet tht
profits will be greater than those o
its rivals.
Mr.. w. A. Page who is to manage
the plant is here and will shortly re
move his family to Morgantown, He
resigned position paying him SIS, 00(
a year TO go into the company and this
fact will tell most eloquantly of what
he expects it success to be.
CanonsbuTg had about landed this
plant but there was hitch in the ar.
rangements and the company came
here to locate. 1t was offered many
inducements to go to the Pennsyl
vania town but the natural adyan
tages of Morgantown turned the scale
in our favor.
Besides this factory several othel
new ones to employ several hundred
people are in course of construction
and others are hunting locations. Goa
mines are being opened in several por
tions Of the county will be a hive d
industry such as at present is mo-
dreamed Of even by the most san
guine.
Morgantown is going to be a biz
city and this section Of it will be on,
of the most important If not the mos
important manufacturing parts o
the new dispe nsation.
