part of his farm so situated away from the 
highway that it was necessary to cross A.’s 
land to reach it. For nearly two years A. 
made no objection to the right of way across 
his land to B.’s place, though nothing about it 
had been said in the deed through an over¬ 
sight. A quarrel having arisen, however, be¬ 
tween the two, A. forbade B. to cross his land, 
and threatens to sue him for trespass for do¬ 
ing so along the path which has been hitherto 
used. Has B. any redress ? 
A ns. —This appears to be a case where a 
right of way arises from necessity. If a f armer 
sells to another a part of his land so situated 
that it cannot be reached except over the 
farmer’s ground, then the purchaser is entitled 
to a right of way over the ground. The law 
presumes a right of way reserved, or rather 
gives a new right of way from the necessities 
of the case, and.the new way ceases with the 
necessity for it. Indeed so limited is the way 
of necessity, in regard to its duration, that it 
remains attached to the land in favor of which 
it was created, only so long as the owner 
thereof has no other means of access; 
but the moment the owner of such a way ac¬ 
quires by purchase of other land, or otherwise 
a way of access from the highway on some oth¬ 
er land, the “ way of necessity” is at an end. 
The owner of the land has the right to desig¬ 
nate the way to be used by the purchaser ; 
but if he declines to exercise that right, then 
the purchaser may select a suitable route ; 
but in doing so he must regard the interests 
and convenience of the owner of the land. 
When the purchaser has made a reasonable 
selection he must confine himself to it, and can¬ 
not afterw ards change its course according 
to his wishes; but if the owner of the land ob¬ 
structs the way, the purchaser may pass over 
adjoining land, doing no damage. The owner¬ 
from planting climbing vines on the line? 
Should thoy cover bis wall has he a right to 
remove or destroy them? Do such vines in¬ 
jure the wall ? 
Ans —Our friend has, we suppose, no legal 
right to plant vines on the line there, as when 
they grow up they will cover the wall, and be 
supported by inserting their tiny feet in the 
neighbor’s premises. The latter would have a 
right to destroy the clinging vines from the 
windows or roof of his house; but he would 
have no right to trespass on your property to 
do so. The vines preserve instead of injuring 
the walls, promote a dry instead of a damp 
interior and are an ornament to the neighbor¬ 
hood. 
L. S. M., Lee, Mass .—How old must cattle 
and horses be to be taxable, and are they taxa¬ 
ble where they are kept or where the owner 
lives? 
Ans. —Cattle, horses and mules, one year; 
sheep and swine six months. If they are kept 
for a year in any place, or if employed in 
carrying passengers for hire, they are taxable 
in the place where they are kept: otherwise 
they are taxable where the owner lives if 
within the State. 
SILK MOTH AND PARASITES. 
PROFESSOR A. J. COOK. 
A subscriber at Alexandria, Dakota, sends 
to the Rural three cocoons of one of our 
largest silk moths—Platysamia Cecropia. He

THE R. N.-Y. MAY EXPLAIN THE ABOVE AFTER THE 28th. Fig. 329. 
There are a large number of rascals who 
make it a regular business to prey upon coun¬ 
try folks in various ways at all seasons of the 
year, but about the time when the crops are 
marketed, and when, therefore, farmers have 
generally more money than usual, the number 
of sharpers who seek gain in country places is 
greatly increased, and the efforts of all be¬ 
come extraordinarily lively. It’s harvest 
time for them, too, and they are eager to 
gather in the crop before the farmer’s needs 
scatter it to the four winds of heaven. There 
is a family likeness between the plans of many 
of these fellows, so that by laying bare one a 
clue is given to the nature of several others of 
the same stripe. No amount of warnings or 
cautions here or anywhere else will protect 
from imposition a person who doesn’t reflect a 
little on the offers made to him in newspaper 
advertisements or in circulars sent through 
the mail. Bear in mind, always, that any 
person who advertises in this or any other way 
has to spend considerable money to reach the 
public eye, and expects to recoup this together 
with a profit on his enterprise from the pock¬ 
ets of his patrons. 
Many advertise that they will give some¬ 
thing valuable for nothing; but not one of 
them ever does so. If the best of them do not 
require money for what they offer, they re¬ 
quire service worth money , while the bulk of 
those who adveriise in this way are sheer 
humbugs, who ought to be left severely alone. 
The more tempting the offers, in 99 cases out 
of 100, the greater the caution needed in hav¬ 
ing anything to do with the advertisers. 
Among the agricultural community nine- 
tenths, yes, nineteen-twentieths, of the frauds 
practiced on dupes are successful through the 
greedy credulity or dishonest rapacity of the 
latter. They want and expect to get some¬ 
thing for nothing, or more than the worth 
of their money, and the sharpers knowing 
their failings, appeal to them, and scoop in 
shoals of gudgeons. For nearly 10 years the 
Eye-Opener has been on the lookout for 
frauds upon farmers in all parts of the coun¬ 
try, and he has yet to learn of one which 
proved successful to any extent which did not 
appeal to the cupidity of its dupes. Of all 
those which you have seen exposed in this De¬ 
partment, can you remember one which was 
not of this character ? 
The man who is not over-greedy ; who 
doesn’t crave to get something for nothing or 
five dollars’ worth of goods for one dollar in 
cash; who doesn’t want to take advantage of 
the advertized folly of people anxious to give 
away goods gratis or for a tithe of their value; 
who doesn’t think he is smart enough to beat 
traveling sharpers at their own game, al¬ 
though he ought to know' that they have pre¬ 
pared everything beforehand to swindle him; 
who is not so soft as to be beguiled into sign¬ 
ing papers tor strangers; who reads this de¬ 
partment of the Rural and remembers not 
only the cases of fraud and rascality exposed, 
but similar cases on which light has been cast 
by such exposures, will ne#er be duped by 
humbugs and swindlers. 
To Several Inquirers.— Inquiry tells us 
that J. M. Boyce, of Grofton VV. Va., is a 
humbug. We were stiongly under the im¬ 
pression that our exposure of this man some 
time back h8d squelched him; but have you 
nev er noticed what a tremendous amount of 
vitality rests in the carcasses of some noxious 
pests .The Eastern Manufacturing Com¬ 
pany of Mechanics’ Falls, Me., is merely an 
alias for T. B. Sloan, a humbug.The 
Magnetic Watch Company of Newton, Mass , 
is a fraud.So is the Hub Watch Com¬ 
pany, of Boston, Mass.Here are some con¬ 
cerns of the same kind belonging to the same 
place:—The Bay State Organ Company; the 
Eastern Gun Works; the Enterprise Publish¬ 
ing Company; the Home Delight Company; 
the Paris Art Company and the Parisian 
Photograph Company.The Juvenile 
Steam Engine Company, of Chicago, Ill., is a 
fraud. So are J. G. Clark; the Paris Book 
Novelty Co.; and the Marion Trust Company.

LIEN ON A STALLION’S GET FOR SERVICE. 
T. M. T , Newark, Ohio .—Has the owner of 
a stallion a lien upon its get in this State for 
service fees, and how can he secure it ? 
Ans. —Yes ; the owner or keeper of a stallion 
in Ohio has a lien upon the get or produce of 
such stallion, for the period of one year after 
birth, for the payment of service fee of such 
stallion. In order to perfect such lien, the 
owner or keeper of such stallion must, within 
ten months from the time of the rendition of 
such service by the stallion, file with the record¬ 
er of the county where the service has been ren¬ 
dered, an affidavit of the amount due such keep¬ 
er or owner for said service, and for filing or 
making any copy of such affidavit or the cer¬ 
tificate of the date of such filing, the recorder 
shall be entitled to the same fees as are pro¬ 
vided by law for like services in regard to 
chattel mortgages. 
N. H. B., Phillipstown, III .—It is not very 
likely that B’s heirs can obtain relief through 
the courts at this late day, especially as B. 
himself lived so many years after the trans¬ 
action without taking any action in the mat¬ 
ter. The conduct of S. was treacherous 
and dishonest, but it is very doubtful, indeed, 
whether the law could punish him for it after 
a lapse of 27 years, or even of 21 years, the 
interval that has elapsed since D. assigned to 
him the land for which he had so shamefully 
schemed. There may be some nice points in 
the case, however, not stated in your letter, so 
that it might be well to consult an honest, 
local lawyer, whose inquiries would draw out 
full information: but it is nearly certain that 
to begin a suit now would be to incur useless 
expense. 
T. S, L., Hudson, N. Y .—A owns a building 
on the line of my garden, can he prevent me 
is very hurtful to our apple, plum and Box- 
elder trees. The small worms w hich I find in 
the others I know nothing about, but suspect 
and hope they are parasites on the other. Is 
it so ? If so, in destroying the cocoons I have 
been killing more friends than foes.” The 
supposition is correct. In July or August 
when the large Cecropia or [silk-moth larva 
was feeding upon the apple foliage a beauti¬ 
ful ichneumon fly, known to science as Cryp- 
tus extrematus, came upon it and pierced its 
delicate skin with a long tripple javelin-like 
ovipositor and left three or four score of eggs. 
When the man was asked which he thought 
the worst—birds or worms, he said he couldn’t 
tell for he had never had the birds. Our silk- 
moth larva could not say that it had not had 
tne worms, for soon these numerous eggs 
batch, when as many little ichneumon larvae 
commence to eat out the inside of his wormship. 
Notwithstanding the fact that the silk-worm 
has been literally disemboweled, it is yet able 
to spin its large cocoon in which the little ich¬ 
neumon larvae now open their cocoons, which in 
form and size look not unlike quinine capsules. 
These crowd each other and almost till the 
large cocoon. They then remind one of cart¬ 
ridges packed side by side in a box. When 
the specimens reached me these wasp-like pu¬ 
pae had fully developed, and as I opened the 
cocoon several crowded rapidly out and even 
flew towards the window. They are black 
and brown with a white spot at the end of the 
body and a wide white circle or baud in the 
center of their antenna;. They are really very 
handsome. Their slim, graceful bodies are so 
brightly colored, and in the case of the female, 
the long tripartite ovipositors are surely very 
interesting and attractive. Most people would 
fear to touch these wasp-like insects, though 
any fear is groundless. Still, as I picked them 
up to-day I plainly smelt the same odor which 
we notice when our Lees sting us or our 
clothing. 
These parasites do unbounded good. The 
large silk moth lays a large number of eggs, 
and if all developed, and matured, and in turn 
laid their eggs, these large insects would soon 
destroy all such plants as they feed upon. The 
apple, plum, cherry, pear, maple, willow, lilac, 
English alder, currant, hazel, elder, hickory, 
birch, hawtborne, honey-locust. Box-elder, 
and barberry all serve it for food, and would 
cease to exist except for the parasites. Thus 
we should never destroy the large cocoons so 
often seen in orchards in autumn, at least till 
w e have made careful examination. Even them 
if the pupa is strong and well, we had better 
keep it, and rear the large handsome moth- 
There are few more attractive objects in 
nature.

THE INDIAN GAME. 
For table use, not for fighting or show 
purposes; weight greater than its ap¬ 
pearance indicates; general characteristics 
of the cock and hen : flesh abundant and of 
excellent quality, difference of opinion as 
to its laying properties; none j et in this 
country for sale. 
The word, Game, through the power of as¬ 
sociation will at once suggest to the minds 
of many, disgraceful cock fights, held under 
cover of darkness in some out-of-the-way place, 
with sentinels posted to give wt-rning of the 
dreaded police. It is unfortunate that such 
odium attaches to this name, for there are 
many varieties of exhibition Games, bred in 
this country by men who would be first in any 
community to frown upon and condemn the 
barbarous sport that in a ruder age was the 
delight of kings, nobles, bishops and citi¬ 
zens generally. The Indian Game, however 
is not a fowl adapted to the uses of the cock¬ 
fight, nor is it, like many of the exhibition 
Games of this country, bred chiefly, if nut 
solely lor the beauty of its plumage. The 
Indian Game is first of alia table fowl; it is 
large in size, solid and compact in make up, 
very broad and heavy in the breast: although 
its shanks and neck are long and the fowl has 
the appearance of great hight ard little solid¬ 
ity, it is very deceiving in appearance. As 
an illustration of this fact let me cite a case> 
The Indian Game cock which I recently im¬ 
ported from England I was showing to a 
breeder of Wyandottes, Langshans and Ply¬ 
mouth Rocks. I asked him to guess upon the 
bird’s weight. After carefully looking him 
over he replied “ He will weigh about 
five pounds.” 1 had just weighed him and his 
weight was exactly nine pouuds. I then 
caught him and handed him to this gentleman, 
who exclaimed, What a breast he has. It 
feels as if it must be swollen.” This deceptive 
appearance is due to the shortness of the 
feathers and the closeness with which they lie 
to the body of the fowl. The weight of adult 
fowls is as follows; cocks eight to 10 pounds 
That Tired Feeling 
The warm weather has a debilitating effect, 
especially upon those who are within doors most 
of the time. The peculiar, yet common, com¬ 
plaint known as “that tired feeling,” Is the 
result. This feeling can be entirely overcome by 
taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which gives new life 
and strength to all the functions of the body. 
“I could not sleep; had no appetite. I took 
Hood’s Sarsaparilla and soon began to sleep 
soundly; could get up without that tired and 
languid feeling; and my appetite improved.”
