GrEuting Customs 
Is there any known reason why a herd 
of cows grazing in a field will all head the 
same way ? j. V. 
Are you sure they always do? We 
have noticed that when the wind is blow¬ 
ing hard the cows turn their heads away 
from it. The same thing seems to be 
true of a hot sun, but we have certainly 
seen cows at pasture facing in various 
directions on ordinary days. 
Fool’s Gold or Pyrites 
I found a large piece of the enclosed 
mineral hero on this farm. Can you tell 
me what it is, and whether it is of any 
value ? MKs. F. w. 
The fragment you send is sulphide of 
iron, or pyrites, and a chance bit of it, 
such as you seem to have, is of no value, 
60 you need spend neither time nor money 
on an analysis. The stuff is common 
enough, but is only valuable when in large 
quantity near transportation. The pres¬ 
ent scarcity of sulphuric acid has sent the 
price higher than iu years, but even so a 
deposit of it has to be of exceptional 
value to attract the needed capital. It is 
true that some such ores carry enough 
gold to make it pay to work them for that, 
but the common name “fool’s gold” for 
this mineral refers to its attractive ap¬ 
pearance and its small worth. 
Another New Daylight Saving Plan 
In “Two Views of Daylight Saving,” 
page 1141, I think you have given the 
“key” to the dissatisfaction among many 
farmers: “The clocks have never been 
turned back at all, and both farmers and 
hired help go by the old time.” What 
difference does it make what the name or 
number of the hour, so long as all call the 
same hour the same thing? Had the.se 
same farmers turned their clocks ahead, 
and then, in a common-sense American 
way, adapted themselves to the new time, 
changing their hours for doing things to 
suit their lives, everything would have 
been going “like clockwork” again. By 
persisting in going by the old time they 
are forever having to do a sum in arith¬ 
metic, and changing their own time to 
meet their engagements; hence a constant 
feeling of irritation at having to hurry or 
always be behind. Here is a question for 
discussion at Granges and community 
meetings: Is a farmer, who does not 
turn his clock ahead as requested, and 
who constantly criticizes the Govern¬ 
ment’s daylight saving plan, a slacker? 
If not, why not? S. 
Daylight Saving Again 
Let me make a suggestion to solve your 
daylight saving puzzle of page 1141. ^ If 
you will inquire of the age of every writer 
on the subject and classify them under 
the two sides, you will probably find that 
all those in favor or neutral to daylight 
saving are younger in age than those op¬ 
posed to the novelty. .Tudging from your 
attitude, I believe The R. N.-Y. editors 
also are not in favor of daylight saving. 
Ages? Following the division of the two 
sides conclusions will be easily drawn by 
the reader. d. s. 
We doubt if a thorough canvass would 
show any such division. We have reports 
here from both old and young, and they 
seem about equally divided. SVo find the 
“daylight saving” useful in the city work, 
but it certainly has many disadvantages 
on the farm. On our own farm we lose 
time and labor as a result of it. 
Damage in Woodland 
A neighbor, not being satisfied with 
the boundary line between his farm and 
mine, which is also the line between two 
towns, although the line had been accept¬ 
ed since 1828, and the line marks show 
plainly, hired surveyers, who, with two 
choppers, worked for some time chopping 
down trees in order to run new lines. 
They have also felled other trees on my 
meadow lands, and fences, and have de¬ 
stroyed, it is estimated by experienced 
woodsmen, from 80 to 100 cords of wood, 
a large part first-class spruce, ash and 
maple, coming over on my land from two 
to 10 rods. Am I entitled to damages 
for the destruction of this timber? 
Adams, Mass. ii. E. ii. 
This matter was taken up with the 
Massachusetts Forestry Department, and 
the opinion w'as given by the secretary 
that you were certainly entitled to dam¬ 
ages if the situation proved to be exactly 
as stated. The following section from the 
Massachusetts laws relating to forestry 
was cited, as applying to the case: “A 
person who without license willfully cuts 
down, carries away, girdles, or otherwise 
destroys any trees, timber, wood or under- 
wo(k1 , on the land of another, shall be lia¬ 
ble to the owner for an action of tort for 
three times the amount of the damages 
assessed therefor; but if it is found that 
the defendant had good reason to believe 
that the land on which the trespass was 
Committed was his own or that he was 
otherwise lawfully authorized to do the 
acts complained of, he shall be liable for 
single damages only.” Of course the For¬ 
estry Department has no jurisdiction iu 
a matter like this. You should comsult a 
lawyer if you feel sure that the damage 
was done on your .side of the line. e. i. f.
