Duty on Imports from Canada 
Will you tell me what the law is in 
regard to going into Canada and getting 
hay and grain? I mean in wagon-loads, 
for home use. r. l. h. 
New York. 
Such merchandise must be presented at 
the nearest custom house in the United 
States for entry and payment of duty if 
the merchandise is dutiable. If the mer¬ 
chandise does not exceed $100 in value 
no consular invoice is necessary. If it 
does exceed $100 in value a consular in¬ 
voice must he presented at the custom 
house at the time of making entry, or, in 
the absence of such invoice, a bond for its 
production is required. 
The Customs Regulations of 1915 (Ar¬ 
ticle 293) provide that merchandise un¬ 
conditionally free of duty, not exceeding 
$100 in value, and all merchandise where 
the duty does not exceed $10, may be ad¬ 
mitted at frontier ports on informal en¬ 
try, which entry must contain the address 
of the importer and have attached thereto 
a commercial bill covering the merchan¬ 
dise upon which the customs officer will 
make his return. 
If the merchandise is hay it will be 
subject to duty at the rate of $2 per 
ton, under paragraph 205 of the tariff act 
of October 3, 1913; if wheat or corn, it 
will be free of duty under paragraphs 644 
and 465, respectively; however, if such 
wheat contains screenings of commercial 
value, such screenings will be dutiable at 
the rate of 10 per centum ad valorem as a 
non-enumerated, unmanufactured article, 
under paragraph 385; if the merchandise 
is oats, it will be dutiable at six cents per 
bushel of 32 pounds under paragraph 192, 
or, if barley, it will be dutiable at the rate 
of 15 cents per bushel or 48 pounds under 
paragraph 188 of the said tariff act. 
The War Trade Board advises that if 
the merchandise were hay it would be 
covered by general import license PBF 3, 
but that an individual import license 
would be necessary if the merchandise 
were grain. 
Joint Ownership of Property 
Will you explain the difference between 
a joint deed and a single one; how I can 
tell the difference? For instance, if a 
man and wife have a joint deed, how 
should it read? Suppose John Brown 
has a deed which says to John Brown, 
his heirs and assigns forever. What 
kind of a deed is that? J. B. w. 
The joint deed is a deed made by two 
or more individuals as joint owners of 
property. A joint owner is one who owns 
together with one or more beside himself, 
a piece of property, the entire property 
belonging to both, and at the death of 
any of the owners, the title passes on to 
the survivors. The joint ownership or 
joint tenancy must be created expressly 
by a deed. A deed granting property to 
two individuals or more as joint owners 
would expressly so state. That is, ■where¬ 
by granting, etc., to John Brown and 
John Smith jointly, or as joint owners. 
A deed which says to John Brown, his 
heirs, etc., is merely a simple deed grant¬ 
ing an estate in fee simple. The most 
important part to understand in relation 
to joint ownership is that the property 
cannot be disposed of by any one of the 
joint owners. That is, if all of it belongs 
to each one; and- in the event of the 
death of any one of the owners, it passes 
on to the survivors, and the last survivor 
gets the title to the entire piece of prop¬ 
erty. 
Sale of Cattle 
A sold to B a bunch of cattle for a 
stated sum, receiving $10 down, cattle to 
be delivered on a stated date by A. Be¬ 
fore this date B took two cows from 
bunch. On date of delivery one remain¬ 
ing cow was dead, but A was ready to 
deliver the same, B refusing to accept it. 
Under the circumstances was B lioldeu 
for purchase price? H. c. s. 
New York. 
One would have to know the exact un¬ 
derstanding between the parties to decide 
this question fairly. If it was the under¬ 
standing of the parties that the cattle 
would be delivered at a certain place on 
a day certain, then the contract was not 
executed until the cattle arrived at the 
place on that day; and if in the meantime 
one of them had died, the loss would in 
all probability fall on A, as title to the 
cattle would be in A till they were ten¬ 
dered to B at the time and place stated. 
Tendering or offering to B a dead cow at 
the time and place would not be a fulfill¬ 
ment of the contract It would seem a* if 
both parties waived part of the terms of 
the contract when B took the two cows, 
but undoubtedly both parties intended the 
contract to remain as before in regard to 
the balance of the cows. 
More Work 
—and Fuel 
Costs Less 
than Feed 
I N everyday use on hun¬ 
dreds of farms the Hu¬ 
ber Light Four has 
proved its ability to do work 
economically. Fuel costs 
less than horse feed. The 
Huber costs nothing when 
it is idle. Time that would 
be used to take care of 
horses can be used for work 
that pays. The Huber 
works steadily without rest¬ 
ing time. 
In a competitive demon¬ 
stration in Maryland a Hu¬ 
ber Light Four plowed and 
disced a plot of ground with 
611 gallons of kerosene, 
while nine other tractors 
required from 9 % to 12^ 
gallons. 
The Huber Light Four 
gives ample power for eco¬ 
nomical operation of a buzz 
saw, feed grinder, silage 
cutter, small thresher, corn 
husker and hay baler. 
Here is Huber Economy 
“I plowed 35 acres of blue grass 
sod at a cost in fuel and oil and 
labor at 86 cents an acre — and 
did the best work of any year since 
I’ve been farming.” C. L. Mitch, 
South Vienna, Ohio. 
“It costs $20 a day to work two 
men and twelve horses in our 
neighborhood. We do the same 
amount of work with our light four 
for $10.” W. S. Foster, Gilman, 
Montana. 
“With my Huber Light Four we 
filled six silos in 7^2 days. We 
fill a 16 x 32 Silo on 18 gallons 
of kerosene.” C. O. Malmquist, Road 
City, Minn.
