THE RUR-A.I> NEW-YORKEH 
HOT WATER SYSTEM. 
N. B. R. asks about hot water system 
with boiler on first floor. I enclose a 
diagram of a plan that would work, and 
if only one floor, the first, should be 
desired warm, the plan could be modi¬ 
fied to have flow pipe stop at ceiling of 
first floor, and it could run on base¬ 
board of second floor. The plan will 
work successfully if the pipe is carried 
above top of boiler several feet before 
it is carried down, but if the pipe is 
carried directly down from top of boiler 
it will fail. 
The details of plan will be with the 
local needs. A good, safe foundation 
for boiler is required, and pipe must be 
vented at highest point, directly over 
boiler is a desirable one. The “local 
plumber” can work this out, and if he 
er must wage bitter warfare against in¬ 
jurious insects, often it is a losing fight. 
And we can thank the hunters for it.

A Skunk Suggestion. 
In the article (page 1220) entitled “A 
Fool Game Law” there occurs this 
sentence: "We understand that if Mr. 
Edgerton had thrown away the carcass of 
this skunk or buried it there would have 
been no prosecution.” While the state¬ 
ment probably is correct, as showing that 
the State would have defaulted in its right 
to prosecute, it seems to have been founded 
upon a wrong premise. One who buries a 
chest of gr.d in the ground, either in his 
cellar or upon his premises out-of-doors, 
has it as truly in his “possession” as if 
he were keeping it, cither hidden or un¬ 
covered, in a room in his dwelling, or iu 
one of his outbuildings. Since Sec. 199, of 
the Game Laws does not abrogate the 
State’s ownership, ns declared in Sec. 175, 
Mr. Edgerton clearly had no right to bury

CHARLES W. CHAPIN. 
The Farm and Game. 
The views expressed by “Farmer and 
Sportsman” in a recent issue of The It. 
N.-Y. in regard to hunting are interesting, 
but bis reasoning is what some folks would 
call mighty poor, to say the least. He 
contends that as game belongs to the 
State, he has a right to go anywhere 
in search of it. Now let me ask the gen¬ 
tleman a question. Just who is the State? 
My impression lias always been that the 
people are the State. That being the case, 
it would appear that the hunter’s and the 
farmer’s rights in any game are exactly 
equal. Hut if the farmer says to the hunt¬ 
er that the game on the farm belonging to 
him, must not be killed, he is well within 
i.is rights, and no hunter dares to over¬ 
ride him, for the game on his land he has 
rights of in addition to his rights in 
ownership in the land on which the hunter 
must trespass iu order to get the game. 
I believe the law has something to say 
about trespassing; the farmer’s farm is 
just as much private property as the city 
man’s lawn, and the farmer has absolute 
dominion over it. 
No farmer would think of going to town 
and holding a picnic on the city man’s 
lawn ; if be did do anything so idiotic, 
he would expect to receive an invitation 
from some policeman to accompany him 
down to headquarters, and it would not be 
late in the afternoon either. And in all 
probability, the farmer with his little pic¬ 
nic would not do one-tenth the harm that 
hunters all too frequently do. I sincerely 
hope the farmers will unite on this ques-. 
tion and impress forcibly on the hunter’s 
mind that a farm is private property and 
that they must keep off or suffer the con- 
quences of trespassing. 
The idea that a law giving a farmer the 
right to warn any person off his farm, is 
class legislation, is ridiculous. Any person 
who sets foot on the railroad’s right of 
way lays himself liable for trespass, unless 
he crosses at the places provided for that 
purpose and no one thinks of disputing the 
company’s right to warn the public to that 
effect, yet the railroad is a semi-public 
institution. The farm is strictly a private 
one, but to see the way some hunters 
roam over one's land would give anyone 
the idea that farms were intended solely 
for the accommodation of hunters, and 
were open to the public at all times, re¬ 
gardless of the farmer’s wishes. I am 
sure that if anyone wanted to wander over 
a farm and take photographs of wild ani¬ 
mals, not many farmers would object; it 
is the indiscriminate killing of wild game 
that they object to and rightly so, for 
many wild birds that the hunter shoots for 
the mere fun of the thing, never takes 
the trouble to even pick them up in many 
ca-sos, are among the farmer's best friends 
and thdr destruction means that the farm¬ 
a chattel of the State secretly upon his 
premises. Neither had he the right to 
leave the carcass of the skunk to lie and 
decay upon the surface of the earth in 
violation of the health laws. Moreover 
the State could not require him to bury 
its chattel upon his premises without first 
having made provision for compensating 
him for the digging into, and disturbing 
of his soil in performing the interment, and 
also for the service rendered in the inter¬ 
ment of its chattel. Clearly, as the law 
now stands, Mr. Edgerton’s only legitimate 
and proper course would have been to go, 
without delay, before a justice and make 
affidavit to the facts concerning the killing 
of the skunk, including the date and (ap¬ 
proximate) time when it was killed ; then 
to deliver the carcass to the State’s rep¬ 
resentative in the Executive Chambiers, 
take his receipt for it and file the receipt 
together with his sworn statement of facts 
with the game protector. 
Don’t you believe that the carcass of a 
few skunks, killed in accordance with Sec. 
199, and delivered to the Governor or con¬ 
servation .ommission would enable him to 
recommend to the Legislature that the 
farmer be granted the same right to the 
pelt of the animal growing undomesticated 
upon his premises that he now has to the 
product of the mH-bearing tree growing 
wild upon his premises? With Sec. 175 
in force the State could not refuse to take 
charge of the carcass of its chattel, and 
since the law has made no provision re¬ 
quiring the game warden to act in the 
the case it would be proper to place it in 
charge of the Governor and for him to 
assign it to its proper or legitimate Depart¬ 
ment or legislate. J. s. albright.

JOHN DEERE 
SPREADER 
The Spreader with the 
Beater on the Axle 
Mounting the beater on the axle 5s the great¬ 
est improvement in manure spreaders since 
their invention. It has made the John Deere 
Spreader possible. This feature is fully patented 
and cannot be had on any other spreader. 
Simplest and Strongest 
A great many trouble-giving working part* 
have been done away with. There are some two 
hundred less parts on the John Deere Spreader 
than on the simplest spreader heretofore. 
The John Deere Spreader has no clutches, no 
chains, no adjustments. It does not get out of 
order. Is always ready for business. 
The strain and stress of spreading is on the 
rear axle, the strongest part of the spreader— 
where it belongs—not on its eide. 
Roller bearings, few parts, the center of the 
load comparatively near the horses, and the 
weight distributed over four wheels, make the 
John Deere Spreader light draft. 
Only “Hip-High" 
The John Deere Spreader is only •'hip-high'* 
to the top of the box. The first three feet you 
s\_ lift manure are easiest of all. It*» 
ffpff hard work from 
,*«TTr«x there to the top 
of ordinary 
spreaders. 
You lift each 
lforkful only 
'three feet with 
the John Deere 
Spreader. 
Wheels do not 
interfere with 
loading. The en¬ 
tire side of the 
spreader is available for that purpose.
