Trespassing  Hens 
I  would  like  your  advice  in  regard  to 
some  of  my  neighbor’s  chickens.  The 
man  next  to  my  pasture  is  keeping  a 
chicken  farm  and  has  no  fences  to  keep 
his  chickens  at  home.  Every  day  there 
are  from  300  to  400  of  his  chickens  in 
my  pasture,  and  they  eat  quite  a  lot  of 
grass,  and  l  am  getting  tired  furnishing 
green  feed  For  h:m.  Another  neighbor  is 
starting  in  the  chicken  business,  and  he 
has  no  fences  up.  lie  bus  a  hundred  or 
more  chickens  in  my  meadow  all  of  the 
time.  j.  P.  B. 
There  is  no  reason  why  one  should  sub¬ 
mit.  to  the  annoyance  and  loss  occasioned 
by  large  Hocks  of  liens  roaming  over  his 
land.  A  few  hens  belonging  to  a  neigh¬ 
bor  may  be  forgiven  for  trespass  because 
of  the  small  damage  that  they  do  to 
meadows,  hut  the  large  Hocks  of  profes¬ 
sional  poultrymen  belong  in  a  different 
class.  No  one  lias  a  right  to  keep  fowls 
unless  he  can  confine  them  to  his  own 
premises,  and  lie  is  liable  for  any  dam¬ 
age  that,  they  do  to  other’s  property.  If 
your  neighbors  permit  their  flocks  to  pas¬ 
ture  upon  your  meadows,  you  have  an 
action  at  law  against  them  for  damages. 
The  trouble  is  that  it  is  very  sure  to 
cost  more  to  collect,  such  damages  through 
the  courts  than  it  will  to  suffer  the  loss 
occasioned  by  the  fowls,  to  say  nothing 
of  the  nnnoighborly  relations  that  are 
sure  to  be  estaldi  lied  by  “lawjtig.”  There 
is  another  possible  course  to  take.  If 
your  neighbor  will  not  listen  to  your 
remonstrances,  you  may  become  the  law¬ 
breaker  and  shoot  enough  of  the  hens 
to  make  it  unprofitable  for  the  owner  to 
pasture  them  upon  your  premises.  He 
will  then  have  an  action  against  you,  and 
he  is  quite  likely  to  decide  that  it  will 
cost  him  less  to  confine  his  hens  than  if 
will  to  collect  pay  for  them  through  the 
courts.  I  do  not  advise  this  latter  course, 
I  merely  suggest  it  as  a  possible  solution 
of  the  problem.  All  possible  means  of 
settling  snob  matters  in  a  friendly  way 
should  he  tried  before  resorting  to  courts 
or  gnus.  _  Ji.  B.  D.

arrivals  since  May  are  a  little  ahead  of 
last  year  but  the  difference  is  fully  offset 
by  exports  which  are  going  forward  to 
a  moderate  extent.  Creamery  extras  hold 
at  33c.  in  tubs,  but  buyers  are  reported 
hesitating  and  inclined  to  wait  for  a  de¬ 
cline.  It  looks  as  if  the  market  had  gone 
about,  as  high  as  it  could  without  cheek¬ 
ing  demand  to  a  serious  extent.  Butter 
has  been  coming  out  of  storage  to  the  ex¬ 
tent  of  a  few  hundred  packages. 
Cheese  prices  have  hern  very  strong 
in  response  to  a  higher  range  in  country 
markets.  Even  at  the  advance,  holders 
seem  con^dent  and  not  anxious  to  press 
sales.  The  continued  brisk  export  de¬
