season. They would like to plant large 
areas of outdoor crops this Spring, but 
complain that the help question threatens 
to ho even worse than last year. With 
common laborers getting .$.3 a day in 
many places, it is hard for farmei’s to 
compete in the labor market. A leading 
gardener expresses the opinion that par¬ 
doners will raise less of the “fine stulT,” 
like onions, beets, carrots and the like, 
because they feel sure they can not take 
care of them if they plant them. 
MAPLE SWEETS C’OJIING. 
Shipments of Northern maple sugar 
and syrup are increasing and sales in 
small cakes are around 24c, while good 
syrup brings $1.20. Some old syrui> is 
being shipped also, and dealers complain 
that the shippers do not always take the. 
trouble even to polish up the cans. All 
packages of maple sweets must by law be 
marked with the name and address of the 
person who made and put up the product 
HAY AM) FEED. 
The hay situation is described as fol¬ 
lows by the largest Hostou receiving 
house: “Hcceipts are kept down now by 
the had state of the roads in the shipping 
sections and the cheek will continue until 
Spring work is over. There is a great 
deal of hay in the country, they can’t 
market it all this year. It is the only 
staple crop that hasn’t gone up, and only 
muddy roads and the scarcity of freight 
cars holds the market where it is. No. 1 
Timothy is only .$21. The condition of 
mowings is reported good in New York 
State and New England, with little win¬ 
ter-killing.” 
Grain feeds especially corn and wheat 
products, have been moving np with the 
general grain markets. Cornmeal is 
$2.f)0 p>'>r bag, and predictions of .$.'? Inve 
been heard. Middlings and bran are $41 
to .$44 per ton; hominy feed. $49; gluten 
feed, $44; cottonseed meal, .$4.5; linseed, 
$48.60 per ton. Feeding barley is .$1.20 
per bushel. 
HOGS AND CATTLE IIIOTIER. 
Because of smaller local supply and the 
general strength of the pi’ovision market, 
live hogs have moved up a peg to 1544e, 
and good stock has been rather S(‘ai’ee. 
As dressed hogs .sell at close to 20c. the 
live stock seems in strong position. Beef 
cattle are doing better also, with tops at 
10c and others 7^ to 9c. Fairly good 
common cows and hulls sell around Oc, 
and canning stock around 5c. Choice 
calves sell at 12c, and arrivals are more 
plentiful of late. Lambs are 12 to 15c 
and sheep 8 to 10c. Best heavy hothouse 
lambs, dressed, bring $15 each in Bos¬ 
ton, and choice dressed veal sells up to 20 
cents. Milch cows sell tolerably well at 
same prices as of late, with a general 
range of from $40 to .$12.5. The steel and 
cement frame and inside work of the new 
cow barn is being pushed along at a fair 
rate of speed. n. f. 
Legal Questions 
Drainage of Road Across Farm 
The road commissioners have turned 
the water into the middle of our best 
field, and every Spring when the frost 
is coming out of the ground^ this makes 
a deep gully across the width of the 
field (about 1000 foot) to a gully that 
opens into the woods. Is there anything 
that we can do to prevent them from do¬ 
ing this, or to make them put in a tile 
drain to carry this water across the 
field? J. w. u. 
Pennsylvania. 
There is no doubt that the commission¬ 
ers have the right in the proper main¬ 
tenance of the highway to drain the 
water to your property, but in so doing 
they must pay you for the damage oc¬ 
casioned by their drain. It is doubtful 
if you could compel them to put in a 
tile drain, hut you may be able to per¬ 
suade them that this is the cheapest in 
the end. Put the matter up to the coin- 
mis.sioner fairly, and tell them you 
should like them to remedy the matter 
at once. If there was a watercourse 
there, or if you have already been paid 
for in damages, jiossihly you have no 
claim. Possibly, also, you can persuade 
them to run the drain on to another 
point. 
Highway Repairs ; Width of Road 
('an a road master cart dirt up to the 
limit of rlie road from one mau's property 
to the frout of another person’s property, 
not for the purpose of widening the road, 
hut to fill in holes in the road? Would 
the law make any difference as to whether 
tile property first mentioned was highly 
imiuoved or not? Is there any law es- 
tahlisliiiig the width of an unrecorded and 
uusurveyed road? Would land have to 
be condemned to be added to the old 
width of an unrecorded road? B. T. av. 
New York. 
In the absence of proof that the town 
superintendent or road master has acted 
wantonly or maliciously he may, in mak¬ 
ing necessary repairs to highways, take 
April 14, 1917. 
soil from any jiortion of the highway in¬ 
cluding the unused roadside, regardless of 
any grading or other improvements made 
by the abutting owners, but he should 
take first from the land of the abutting 
owner opposite the portion being fixed. 
In other words, if he can get soil imme¬ 
diately adjacent to the place being re¬ 
paired he has no right to go to another 
owner’s property merely to cause that 
owner trouble. 
These roads which have been used by 
the public for 20 years or more ai'c what 
are termed “highways by use,” and the 
town superintendent shall open them to 
the width of two roads. The real width 
of the highway is based upon the use that 
has been made of it and the superinten¬ 
dent would probably not have the right 
arbitrarily to widen the road ; it would 
probably have to he coiulemued. 
Execution Against Bank Account 
1. If A holds a judgment against B 
can A levy on B’s bank account, noth¬ 
ing else being available? 2. If A owes B 
and A earns $14 .a week, how should B 
proceed to collect? e. f. 
New Y'ork, 
1. A can issue execution against B's 
proj)erty and under the execution the 
sheriff may levy on B's bank account. 
2. B should first commence suit and 
get a judgment against A, then issue ex¬ 
ecution on the judgment. If this is re¬ 
turned unsatisfied then B may apply to 
court for a continuing execution against 
ten per cent, of the salary of A in excess 
of the amount of twelve dollars per week, 
and this levy continues until the full 
amount is collected by the sheriff, when 
it is paid over to B. 
Working on Sunday 
1. Is a man at work in mill obliged to 
lay off 24 hours for Sunday? 2. Can a 
man work six days and three hours on 
Sunday and abide by the law? 8. Can 
Ji^man who is foreman work the whole 
seven days, he working by the day same 
as the rest, only more pay? w, ii, n. 
New York. 
1. He is not obliged to lay off work if 
his employer operates the mill on Sun¬ 
day and has complied with the require¬ 
ment in that respect, and gives his em¬ 
ployee one day’s rest in seven. 
2. No, the employee must have at 
least 24 consecutive hours of rest in 
every calendar week. 
3. Yes, a foreman in charge of the 
work is excepted from the law making 
one day of rest in seven necessary, iind 
he may work on Sunday. 
Recording Deed 
Wherein is the difference between .a 
deed recorded and one not recorded? Gr. 
in other words, is it necessary to have a 
deed recorded in order to hold the prop¬ 
erty, and is a deed not recorded before 
death just as legal as one recorded? 
New York. a. b. 
The recording of the deed serves to 
give notice to all the world of the facts 
stated in the deed. Let us take an il¬ 
lustration which will show the differ¬ 
ence between recording and not record¬ 
ing a deed. A. sells a farm to B. For 
some reason B. feels that he does not 
wish to record the deed. Nobody out¬ 
side of the interested parties knows of 
the transaction, and A, still stands on 
the records as the owner of the farm. 
Along comes C., a stranger, and likes the 
looks of the farm and concludes to buy 
it. The records show A. to he the owner 
and the neighbors believe he is. A. Is 
dishonest and sells the farm to C., who 
is an innocent purchaser, who pays 
value for it and records his deed, A. 
skips the country and leaves no prop¬ 
erty. B. and C. are both innocent of 
wrongdoing, but one must lose, and in¬ 
asmuch as C. has recorded his deed, the 
law says he has the better right ami 
gives him the farm. Of course, B. ami 
(j. both have a cause of action against 
A., but what good are they? An un¬ 
recorded deed, except for this notice, is as 
good as any other kind and may be rec¬ 
orded at any time, even after the death 
of the grantee. 
Grade of Lots; Barb Wire Fences 
(.'an a man owning a lot adjoining 
mine raise his grade (there is no nat¬ 
ural drainage through his lot from mine), 
making it necessary for me to do the same 
(ir make my lot an eyesore? His lot is 
at least live feet higher than the grade of 
the street. Can I put up a barbed-wire 
fence along the rear of my lot? G. u. w. 
New .Tersey. 
There is probably nothing you can do 
to stop your neighbor from raising his 
grade any more than you could stop him 
from putting his house on stilts if he felt 
so disposed. This seems to be one of the 
inconveniences we must put up with for 
the privilege of living closely together in 
villages, Sections 23 and 24 of the fence 
law of your State prohibit barbed-wire 
for. use in line fences without the con¬ 
sent of the adjoining land owner, and that 
those who erect barbed-wire fences with¬ 
out such consent are liable for damages 
caused to animals by them. Without your 
neighbor’s consent, therefore, you would 
better erect some other kind of fence.
