Legal  Questions 
Foreclosure  of  Mortgage 
Could  my  landlord  foreclose  my  little 
farm  which  I  bought  on  a  contract?  I 
pay  my  interest  when  it  is  due,  every 
time,  and  January,  1016,  I  have  to  pay 
any  amount  I  can  spare  on  the  principal. 
Do  you  think  he  can  foreclose  after  I 
have  paid,  on  the  principal,  or  can  he 
foreclose  at  all,  until  I  have  my  deed, 
when  I  pay  $1,000?  j.  k.

It  all  depends  on  the  terms  of  your 
mortgage.  If  it  has  become  due  and 
has  never  been  extended,  but  you  have 
kept  on  paying  interest  when  due,  it 
nevertheless  may  be  foreclosed  at  any 
time.  The  only  safe  way  is  to  have  the 
mortgage  extended  when  it.  comes  due,

although  there  are  thousands  of  mort¬ 
gages  long  past  due  which  have  never 
been  extended  and  everybody  is  satisfied, 
so  long  as  interest  is  paid  promptly. 
Line  Fences 
Isn’t  my  neighbor  compelled  to  put.  up 
half  the  line  fence — not  claim  half  the 
line  and  no  fence?  I  know  the  Ohio 
law,  that  is  I  don’t  have  to  build  fence 
to  keep  out  cattle  where  I  am  farming, 
but  I  don't  want  to  be  mean.  I  am  will¬ 
ing  to  put  up  half  the  fence  in  the  Spring, 
and  I  want  to  be  prepared.  They  are 
trying  to  sell  this  piece  of  ground  next 
to  me,  so  1  want  to  have  the  next  fellow 
do  his  share.  A.  m.  m. 
Ohio. 
Your  neighbor  may  not  choose  the  easy 
portions  of  the  fence  and  leave  the  re¬ 
mainder  for  you.  You  both  are  obliged 
to  maintain  in  equal  shares  the  line  fence 
and  if  there  is  any  dispute  as  to  the  por¬ 
tion,  or  neglect  to  build  you  should  com¬ 
plain  to  the  town  trustees  who  after  no¬ 
tice.  view  the  premises  and  assign  in 
writing  the.  portion  each  is  to  keep  up. 
The  costs  of  the  trustees  are  taxed 
equally  between  the  parties  and  must  be 
paid  within  30  days. 
Fencing  Against  Hogs 
Do  I  have  to  fence  against  my  neigh¬ 
bor’s  hogs?  These  hogs  have  (lone  me 
more  than  $100  damage  this  year  and  are 
now  working  in  my  corn  in  the  shook. 
They  do  not  go  through  my  fence,  but 
mv  neitrhhur’s.  What  can  T  do  about  it? 
ACCURATE — because  it  has  the  “Natural-Selec¬ 
tion”  drop — an  improvement  over  all  other 
methods. 
Kernels  do  not  have  to  he  tipped  on  edge  to  enter 
the  cells.  Surface  of  hopper  bottom  and  openings 
to  seed  cells  are  oblique,  or  sloping.  The  kernels 
naturally  move  toward  and  fill  the  cells. 
A  full — variable  drop  planter.  Plants  two,  three 
or  four  kernels  aa desired — all  you  do  to  change  num¬ 
ber  in  the  hill  ie  to  move  foot  lever. 
Drilling  distances  varied,  and  change  from  hilling 
to  drilling  or  back  to  hilling  made  just  as  easily. 
All  corn  plates  for  this  planter  have  16  cells.  There¬ 
fore,  the  same  drilling  distances  are  obtained  with  one 
plate  as  can  be  secured  on  other  planters  that  require 
8,  12  and  16  cell  plates. 
The  gears  are  always  in  mesh  and  can  be  shifted  at 
any  time  (even  when  in  operation)  to  change  drop  or 
drilling  distances.

do  about  it? 
c.  E.  s. 
You  certainly  do  not  have  to  fence 
against  anybody’s  hogs.  The  owner  must 
keep  them  in  his  own  fields  at.  his  peril 
and  at  the  risk  of  claims  for  damage. 
It  is  unfortunate  to  have  to  sue  a  neigh¬ 
bor,  but  where  one  is  so  blind  to  an¬ 
other's  rights  as  your  neighbor  has  shown 
himself  to  he,  it  may  be  the  only  way  to 
show  him  his  error.  Why  not  enforce 
your  right  under  the  town  law  regarding 
strays,  and  impound  his  trespassing  ani¬ 
mals  and  turn  them  over  to  the  owner 
only  on  the  payment  of  your  lien  for  the 
accrued  charges  of  tbu  damage  done  and 
the  cost  of  keeping?  After  you  have  the 
animals  shut  up,  notify  him  to  the  effect 
that  you  will  deliver  them  on  the  pay¬ 
ment  of  these  charges. 
Property  Held  in  Trust 
We  wish  to  give  a  few  acres  of  unim¬ 
proved  land  to  a  poor  family  for  a  home. 
We  think  it  not  advisable  to  deed  the 
land  to  the  parents  lest  it  slip  away  from 
them,  but  we  wish  to  secure  it.  to  the 
children  and  at  the  same  dime  give  the 
parents  the  use  of  it  as  long  as  they 
live  and  then  the  children  to  come  into 
possession  of  it  and  not  till  then.  Shall 
we  have  to  deed  the  land  to  a  trustee  for 
the  children  (they  are  minors)  and  he 
give  the.  parents  a  lease,  or  how?  We 
Wish  to  bind  the  parents  to  improve  the 
land  and  keep  up  the  taxes  and  live  on 
it,  that  the  children  may  have  the  ben¬ 
efits  of  a  settled  home  in  a  religious  com¬ 
munity.  It  is  an  experiment  that  we 
hope  will  turn  out  well.  MBS.  o.  E.  w. 
North  Carolina, 
I  am  not  familiar  with  the  laws  of 
North  Carolina  relating  to  trusts  but  am 
quite  certain  that  this  property  may  be 
deeded  to  some  person  in  whom  you  have 
confidence  as  trustee  for  the  use  of  the 
parents  while  they  or  either  of  them  live 
and  to  which  trustee  you  may  give  power 
to  contract  with  the  parents  to  maintain 
and  to  improve  the  property  during  their 
life  or  lives,  without  expense  to  the  trus¬ 
tee.  the  whole  property  to  go  to  the  chil¬ 
dren  on  the  death  of  the  parents.  D. 
would  he  well  to  provide  in  the  trust 
deed  that  if  the  parents  did  uot  continue 
to  live  on  the  property  or  failed  to  main¬ 
tain  it  that  the  trustee  could  have  it 
maintained  by  others  for  the  benefit  of 
the  children.  There  is  no  reason  why 
the  trust  deed  should  not  contain  any 
provisions  you  wish  in  regard  to  the 
maintenance  of  the  property  and  for  the 
proper  protection  of  the  children.  But 
the  statutes  of  tl  ■  several  States  differ  as 
to  the  time  property  may  be  held  in  trust 
and  in  a  matter  of  this  importance  it  is 
well  to  have  a  local  attorney  who  knows 
the  local  laws  prepare  the  deed  of  trust 
and  see  that  the  formalities  are  properly 
complied  with.  The  expense  ought  not  to 
be  great. 
MODEL  B — the  only  disc  that  cuts  at  even  depth 
its  entire  width.  It  has  ja  patented  spring 
pressure  lever.  With  this  lever,  pressure  can  be 
regulated  at  inner  ends  of  gangs  to  cut  out  dead 
furrows  or  disc  ridges  without  burying  the  harrow. 
The  ModeI“B”does  not  crowd  toward  the  bottom  on 
hillsides  or  in  overlapping.  The  gangs  are  indepen¬ 
dent  of  each  other  and  can  be  given  the  proper  angle 
to  work  right  under  such  conditions.

Van  Brunt  Fertilizer  Drills 
THEY  plant  any  small  seed,  alfalfa  to  bearded  oats, 
and  distribute  any  standard  fertilizer.  Plant 
seed  only,  distribute  fertilizer  only,  or  handle  both  at 
one  time. 
Amount  sown  per  acre  easily  regulated  merely  by 
shifting  feed  gauge  levers. 
All  the  ground  sown,  because  the  Van  Brunt  adjust¬ 
able  gate  force  feed  compels  seed  to  leave  hopper  in 
even,  continuous  streams — no  bunching  or  choking 
up — and  an  equal  amount  goes  into  each  furrow. 
And  fertilizer  is  distributed  just  as  evenly.  Finger- 
type  plates  prevent  its  choking  up  in  the  hopper. 
An  even  stand  of  grain  is  secured,  because  pressure 
springs  compel  all  the  discs  to  cut  furrows  of  equal 
depth,  and  the  forward  closed  delivery  places  seed  at 
bottom  of  these  furrows. 
Van  Brunt  Drills  never  clog  up.  Scrapers  keep  discs 
absolutely  clean. 
The  high  grade  discs  have  bearings  that  are  guar¬ 
anteed  to  last  lifetime  of  drill. 
Grass  seeder  attachment  can  be  furnished  which 
will  drill  or  sow  broadcast  as  desired.
