172 ANNUAL. REPORT OF THE Off. Doc, 



and cattle get in and yours get out, he is liable to you for the dam- 

 age which ensues. 



In Pennsylvania, the manner of procedure to obtain private ways 

 is provided for by act of the Legislature, approved June 13, 1836, 

 by the provision of which act the several courts of quarter sessions 

 have power, in open court, upon the petition of one or more persons 

 for a road from their respective dwellings, or plantations, to a high- 

 way, or a place of necessary public resort, or to any private way lead- 

 ing to a highway, to direct a view to be had of the place where such a 

 road is requested, and report thereof to be made at the next ensuing 

 term of court. 



If it shall appear to the court ordering the view, by the report of 

 viewers, that such road is necessary, the said court shall fix the 

 width of the road, and direct it to be opened accordingly, and the 

 proceedings in such cases shall be entered on record; and from 

 thenceforth such road shall be deemed and taken to be a lawful 

 private road. 



All private roads shall be opened, fenced, and kept in repair by 

 and at the expense of the person or persons respectively, at whose 

 request the same was granted or laid out, and by their heirs and as- 

 signs. The damages sustained by the owner of the land through 

 which any private road may pass, shall be estimated in the manner 

 provided in the case of a public road, and shall be paid by the per- 

 son at whose request the road was granted or laid out, but no road 

 can be opened until the damages are paid. 



The expense of the view of a private road, as well as the expense 

 of the view to assess damages susitained by the owners of the land 

 taken, must be paid by the person or persons applying for the road. 



HYGIENE ON THE FARM. 



By IDA M. DICKINSHIED, Hosengack, Pii. 



Hygiene is the art of preserving health; that is, of obtaining the 

 most perfect action of body and mind during as long a time as is al- 

 lotted to each one of us. In other words, it aims to make growth 

 more perfect, decay less rapid, life more vigorous, and death more 

 remote. '
