Debts Incurred by Farm Tenant 
I sell fertilizers and seeds to farmers 
and their tenants. A tenant on a farm 
gets fertilizers and seed. When the set¬ 
tlement time comes, he refuses to settle 
his part of the account. Can I collect 
the bill from the owner of the farm? The 
tenant works the farm on halves. 
New York. c. H. G. 
Your question is so broad that it is im¬ 
possible to answer it fully. Where credit 
is given to a tenant for fertilizer or any¬ 
thing else purchased, the tenant alone is 
responsible. There would be no more 
reason for holding the owner of the farm 
liable than there would be for groceries 
furnished to the tenant. If the landlord 
authorizes his tenant, to purchase in his 
name, and charges are made direct to the 
landlord, then, of course, the landlord is 
liable. A tenaut on shares is not a part¬ 
ner with the landlord so as to bind the 
landlord. There are eases, however, where 
the landlord holds the tenant out as his 
agent in so open a manner that the public 
lias a right to believe that they are sell¬ 
ing to the landlord through the ageut.

Unsatisfied Chattel Mortgage 
Last January I took a chattel mort¬ 
gage. full value, on horses, cows, heus and 
a fine lot of machinery, also 200 bu. corn. 
100 bu. oats, and 10 tons hay, worth alto¬ 
gether about SI,000. Since then oue of 
the best cows died, and all the hay and 
grain is sold and frd out. Can I hold the 
next hay and grain crop to the value of 
my mortgage, and if he sells the hens I 
have a mortgage on. can I hold the yiullets 
he raises this year? 
Your mortgage will not cover after- 
acquired property; it simply holds what 
is specified in the mortgage. One who 
disposes knowingly of property on which 
there is a mortgage is guilty of a crime.

Disputed Land Contract 
I bought this farm of 36 acres in Jan¬ 
uary, 1920, for $2,500. paying $400 down 
on land contract, which calls for $150 
and interest on March and September 1 
each year. I paid $150 principal and 
$85.75 interest September 1, 1920, and 
$150 principal and $68.25 interest March 
1. 1921: $68 principal and $63.70 inter¬ 
est on October 1, 1921, which owner ac¬ 
cepted without objection. March 1. 1922. 
I paid him $60.62 interest, making a de¬ 
ficit of $232: accepted without objection 
also. I could sell timber off land for $150. 
part of which I would give owner, but he 
objects, saying I cannot sell timber, as 
it is not mine to sell, and also contract is 
broken. I have receipt for interest paid 
to date. Tan owner stop me selling tim¬ 
ber? There was 1% acre of wheat on 
ground when I bought, also a garage 
nailed to shed, owner taking wheat that 
Summer, and garage missing when I 
moved onto place in March. Nothing was 
written or said on land contract regarding 
wheat or timber. Can I sue him for 
wheat, also garage? There is also about 
Id acres swamp on this land, across which 
I shall be obliged to build a bridge or road 
about 10 or 12 rods long to reach west 
end of farm, which includes pasture and 
about six acres Fowl meadow-grass.

therefore putting me to a big expense. 
What can I do ou this question? Owner 
says be forgot to have timber mentioned 
on land contract. If I cut timber off 
stump, what can owner do, and also can 
purchaser haul timber? s. d. 
Ohio. 
As a general proposition one cannot 
commit any act which will deteriorate the 
value of real estate purchased on a con¬ 
tract. or on which there is a mortgage, to 
the detriment of the person owning the 
fee. If by selling the timber you would 
so depreciate the value of the property 
that, the owner of the fee had a right to 
feel insecure, he might procure an injunc¬ 
tion to restrain you from your acts, unless 
you applied the money received from the 
timber on the purchase price. One can 
always sue, but not always recover. If you 
contemplate bringing an action, it would 
be better for you to consult an attoruev 
who can investigate all the facts and ad¬ 
vise you accordingly. X. T.

In line with the times 
M ONEY saving is foremost 
in every farmer's mind. 
Most farmers have learned that 
money saving at the expense 
of quality is poor economy. 
For an accurate timekeeper 
and a punctual alarm at an eco¬ 
nomical price, you will find it 
hard to beat America, the oldest 
member of the Westclox family. 
America is a neat, upstand¬ 
ing alarm that has kept up with 
every improvement in time¬ 
keeping that has come along. 
Yet its price has stayed low. 
A dollar and a half is really 
very little to pay for a good 
clock. That’s all America costs. 
For the unusual service 
America gives, you may thank 
the careful Westclox workmen. 
They give you the best they 
know how to make—no matter 
what the clock's price may be. 
The Westclox orange-buff 
tag is always a promise of good 
timekeeping for a good long 
time.
