Laws governing the ownership of
real estate have been evolved from the
mutual rights of man to the soil and
hla relations to bis fellow man and the
public welfare. Ownership of land Is
one of the great upholding forces of
modern civilisation. No man. however,
acquires a right to real estate that he
can maintain against the public wel
fare, which has the power to condemn
property needed for public use, or that
a menace to public life and health.
AH men's rights In real estate are cir
cumscribed by the rights of adjoining
owners and the paramount interests of
the general government, which can take
possession of the property sfter ap
praisal and condemnation for the gen
eral welfare. If the government did
not retain the right to condemn and
take property belonging to private par
ties, then the individual holding would
ne an empire In Itself and block all
progress and public Improvements.
AH real estate is defined and circum
scribed by boundary corners and lines
as established by government survey,
The States are divided Into counties,
and the counties subdivided into town
ships, and the townships into sections
of 640 acres. Each section Is divided
Into quarter sections with appropriate
descriptions In the conveyance of the
property. The meridian lines were
used In description of" real estate, and
vhe government survey section and
quarter section corners are established
to mark the boundaries of public lands.
In purchasing Innd it is well in the
preliminary examination to ascertain
the corners and boundary lines of the
property and ascertain If the ad'oining
owner Is satisfied with the division
fences. If one purchases eighty acres
and he apprehends that the land is
short measure It would be better to
have the property surveyed before the
transfer Is made. The government cor
ners should be marked by a stone not
easl'y removed, and If the corner Is so
designated subsequent surveys may
make the property more or less than
the description, but cannot change the
monumental corners established by the
original government survey.
Farms are occupied Individually and
not In severalty, and the new pur
chaser should ascertain before closing
the purchase the division of the line
fences which inclose the property and
discover If such division is satisfactory
to adjoining property holders, as ex
pensive litigation has often grown out
of a misunderstanding of land bound
aries and division fences. Every pur
chase of real estate should be hedged
about by the removal of every obstacle
that might cause a misunderstanding
between neighbors. Goodall's Farmer.
TJalqne Vegetable Dlg-cer.
Something new and novel In the way
of vegetable diggers has been devised
by a Kentucky farmer, the object of
tbe contrivance be
ing to catch up onions
and similar vegeta
bles ana the neces
sarily accompanying
dirt and by slight
shaking separate the
dirt from the vege
table. It can readily
be carried in tbe
h a M1 a rt f lm yrws.
VEGETABLE DIGOCjL ' "l"01
ator, wno can easily
shake the digger after be has taken np
a Quantity of the soil and vegetable. In
construction tbe digger resembles s
miniature wheelbarrow, the receptacle
forming tbe body being made of sheet
metal containing innumerable perfora
tions. At tbe front or small end of
the receptacle Is a swinging door, be
neath which Is a small shovel. In op
eration the digger is used as a shovel
In lifting the vegetable and the sur
rounding soil. The digger Is then
shaken, separating tbe vegetable from
the soil, and allowing the latter to pass
out through the perforations.
Seedless Crapes.
What's become of tbe "coreless" ap
ple? Twenty years ago it was an
nounced as a discovery or a develop-
mert calculated to revolutionize the or
chard industry. Of late we bear less
about It
A little later the "thornless" black
berry appeared on the horizon. ' It cer
tainly was thornless. but somehow it
failed to drive the ferociously-armed
brambles of the berry gardens Into the
desert It Is still produced, but the
older kinds are yet much more com
mon. ' .
Now the "seedless", grape bids for fa
vor. 8uch a fruit would surely "meet
a long-felt want," says Country Life
In America. If the quality and flavor
of the few thus far grown can be per
petuated and It proves remuneratively
productive and capable of "standing
up" for shipment there Is a big future
before It
Blind Slaarscrs.
The Louisiana Experiment Station
has been studying blind staggers In
horses. Its cause and cure. But noth
ing definite could be found. It Is their
opinion that the cause of the disease
is In some way associated with tbe con

brought about by the stacks of mold
Pcd foe Oersra,
Tke cow likes a variety of food, sad
It pays to give It to her. For the stim
ulation of the appetite and aid In di
gestion, some of her feeds should be
green and succulent, such as roots and
silage for winter. Some Unseed meal
should be given at frequent intervals
It Is not only a rich feed, but an ex
cellent regulator of the digestive or
gans. Clover and alfalfa hay are both
rich In milk-forming elements, and give
bulk to the ration. Some corn should
be given daily, especially through the
cold montba, as cows greatly relish the
grain, and It help In forming butter

tne cows about all they will eat up

Simple KKfTeater,
The average person evidently Imag
ines that it Is Impossible for the dealer
to distinguish bad eggs and good eggs.
This supposition Is
natural. Inasmuch as
so many eggs of
questionable purity
reach the dinner ta
ble. If the dealer
desired be could
readily discard eggs
of doubtful age, as
there are numerous
devices for testing
them. One of the
EGO TESTES.
most recent Is shown In the accompany
ing illustration, patented by a Minne
sota farmer. It consists of a wooden
frame, or casing, across the top of
which is a leather support for the eggs,
the latter resting in flexible apertures.
In the bottom of the casing Is an in
cllned mirror. Mounted on tbe upper
part of the frame is a light-reflecting
hood In which is placed a lamp or oth
er suitable lllumlnant. In operation
eggs are placed over the aperture and
the "Kht falling on the eggs will cast
anaaow upon the mirror if they are
unsound. The soundness of the eggs is
Indicated by the clearness of the light
that falls through them upon the mir
ror.
Tba Frosea-Meat Trade.
Frozen Chinese pork Is to be Import
ed Into England, which recalls to the
mind of a writer In the London Cbxon
lcle the fact that the frozen meat trade
Is nearly a century old. On Jan. 30,
1810, three Eskimos arrived at Har
wlch, England, by the packet from
Gothenburg, bringing Ave sledges pack
ed with ptarmigan, blackcock and oth'
er game, frozen and packed in air-tight
cases. The enterprising Northerners
had to pay over $250 duty on the con
signment and $50 for carriage from
Harwich to London ; but, as the game
was in excellent condition. It found
ready sale and brought high prices.
The Eskimos did so well out of the
speculation that they remained In Eng
land for several months, spending their
profits In royal fashion; but, despite
the success of the experiment. It does
not appear to have been repeated.
To Fatten Fowls.
A good method, for fattening fowls
is given by a reader: BUue the fowls
up in a dark place, with just enough
light for them to see to eat, and sup
ply them well with grit and water.
Corn meal, ground oats, cracked wheal
and shorts mixed in equal portions
should be fed. Feed them as often
during the day as they will clean up
tbe food, and bear In mind the Impor
tance of "stuffing" them. They should
be fed after dark every evening, a
well as very early each morning. Half
a dozen fowls together will fatten more
rapidly than a large number, and If
Is practical to pen them off, six to
pen Is tbe right number. Give no green
stuff to these fowls, but rations
cooked potatoes, rice, corn bread,
cracked corn and whole wheat may be
given. Fowls crowded and .stuffed In
this way should be in flue condition lu
three weeks.
How to Load a Waaaa,1
It is generally believed that tbe load
pulls easier if put well forward on tbe
wagon. But this is not so on the ordi
nary wagon, where the bind wheels are
larger than the front ones. Should the
wheels be equal in size, tbe load sbou
be equally distributed. If tbe trucks
are so low down that the horses have an
upward pull on the load, then It woul
be all right to put the load well for
ward. The load should be proportioned
to tbe surface contact of the wheels.
A large wheel sinks less than a sma
one; therefore, tne load sbonld
heaviest on tbe hind wheels. Distrlb
nte tbe weight so that no one wbee
or no one side Is carrying the greater
share, lest It make tbe draft excessive
for the tonnage carried.
Plant Trees.
Plan now your home forest In this
twentieth century there Is no large
farm so valuable In Its products but
that it can afford an artificial grove,
We must not now judge by past' ex
perlence, but by the light of the pres
ent .
But the forest you are about to plant
may be more or less valuable. Make It
more so by wise selections. . Tbe day of
tbe box-elder and Cottonwood Is over,
It might pay to plant them rather than
nothing, but you may do better. Plant
the ash, the catalpa, the larch. Plant
nut trees and the oaks.
Timber Is better than the precious
metals. While It looks long to the har
vest it Is one of the surest of crop,
Land owners must awake to their op
portunity, for there Is money la trees.
