Bits of Farm Law 
Law Regarding Control of Bull 
What is the law governing the pastur¬ 
ing of bulls that are two or more years 
of age? I am informed that they must 
be confined. w. k. s. 
New York. 
A person who keeps a domestic animal 
having knowledge of its vicious propensi¬ 
ties is liable in damages caused by such 
animal to a person who was rightfully on 
the property where such animal was tres¬ 
passing. One who puts a dangerous ani¬ 
mal in a place where he knows the public 
is in the habit of traveling is liable for 
injuries inflicted by such animal, although 
the place was not a highway. If the bull 
becomes a trespasser on the lands of an¬ 
other, and while thus trespassing does 
damage to one who is rightfully on the 
premises, the owner of the animal is 
liable for damages, whether viciousuess 
of the animal is known to him or not. 
It is. therefore, not a safe proposition 
to allow a bull of the age of two or three 
years to run in the pasture, for one little 
• knows how soon he may become vicious, 
break from the pasture and do damage to 
someone. x. T. 
Complications in Foreclosure 
In March, 1910. I bought a farm at 
foreclosure sale. In November. 1919. I 
sold the said farm. The deed«s were 
transferred, but on February, 1921, the 
place was again sold at foreclosure under 
the same mortgage that T signed. 1 do 
not know whether the present owner has 
signed the mortgage notes (the deeds have 
been transferred again). Will you t'fll 
me whether there is any way I can es¬ 
cape responsibility, as I think the mort¬ 
gagee played a trick on me? I under¬ 
stood that the buyer was to assume full 
responsibility when I sold the place. I 
own the farm we oceuny in my own name, 
and would like to know if there is any 
way I can secure it against any claim 
issuing from the above transactions.

Built Right- w W Stays Right 
When you buy a pipeless furnace, be sure it is not merely a set of miscel¬ 
laneous castings. A furnace is not a furnace until it has been assembled and 
the castings ground and fitted to make sure all joints are smoke and gas tight. 
The place to do this is in the foundry, not in your cellar. 
Every Moncrief Pipeless Furnace is carefully assembled, fitted and in¬ 
spected in our foundry. The sections are then marked, knocked down and 
kept together as a unit. You can be sure that a Moncrief goes up right, stays 
right, and heats right. 
MONCRIEF PIPELESS FURNACE 
No doubt you have been served with 
process in an action brought to foreclose 
the mortgage, and for this reason you are 
worried over the transaction. The most 
that could be expected of you would be 
that you make up any deficiency between 
the amount of the mortgage given by you 
and tjic selling price of the farm. In 
other words, if the property sold for 
enough to pay the mortgage debt and 
costs there would be nothing left for you 
to pay. If the property is worth the 
amount of the mortgage, it might, be ad¬ 
vantageous for you to be present at the 
sale and bid enough to cover the amount 
of the mortgage and costs. You cannot 
dispose of what you now have, after an 
action lias been commenced, for the pur¬ 
pose of escaping liability. N. T. 
Every part of the Moncrief Pipeless 
Furnace is carefully made of selected ma¬ 
terials. The grey iron that goes into our 
castings is of the highest grade because we 
combine the raw materials in our own 
cupolas. Our experience of a quarter of a 
century in furnace making assures Mon¬ 
crief quality. 
Hard or soft coal, wood or coke—any 
kind of fuel burns freely in the Moncrief 
firepot, and its straight sides prevent ashes 
banking. No danger of the firepot’s crack¬ 
ing—it is made in two pieces to permit a 
wide range of contraction and expansion. 
The contour of the firepot, feed section 
and radiator is such that the circulating 
air is brought into steady contact with the 
heated surface, yet is unhindered in its 
upward flow. 
In the course of its long life the Mo'n- 
crief Pipeless Furnace will pay for itself 
several times over in the fuel, time and 
work it saves. Get acquainted with its 
many goo'd points. Ask the Moncrief 
dealer. Write us for his name if you da> 
not know him. 
Trouble with Line Fence 
A and B agree to build a line fence, 
each to complete one-half rather than di¬ 
vided sections, as customary in some 
parts of the country. A’s residence is 
situated near one end of line, on the 
other wide of which B lias an apple or- j 
chard, so A suggests he will take that j 
part back of residence, and builds that j 
section. B agrees to take the section on i 
the border of pine woods of A. B now 
claims he is not obliged to construct, as 
the woods are not pasturage, and have 
been used as a thoroughfare, on account 
of a lane through one part, some distance 
from the line, but in use with open ends, 
for 20 years. A finds it impossible now 
to restrict its use. However, the woods 
are open to trespass from B‘s land, and 
remains of an old stone wall line are in 
evidence. Can A oblige his neighbor to 
construct a division fence, by law? lie 
has tried arbitration. w. V. It. s. 
Each owner of two adjoining tracts of 
land, except when they otherwise agree, 
shall make and maintain a just and 
equitable proportion of the division fence . 
between such lines, unless both of said 
adjoining owners shall agree to let their 
said lands lie open, along the division 
line, to the use of all animals which may 
lawfully be upon the land of either. If 
disputes arise between the owners of ad¬ 
joining lands, concerning the liability of 
either party to make and maintain any 
division fence, or the proportion or par¬ 
ticular part of the fence to be made or 
maintained by either of them, such dis- j 
pute shall be settled by any two of the 
fence viewers of the town, one of whom 
shall be chosen by each party, and if 
either neglects, after eight days’ notice, 
to make such choice the other may select 
both. The fence viewers shall examine 
the premises, hear the allegations of the 
parties and may examine such witnesses 
as they may desire. 
If you are anxious 1<> have your fence 
decided upon, it would be advisable to 
call in the fence viewers. After the fence 
viewers have made the division, you can 
give your adjoining owner notice to build, 
and at the expiration of the notice if lie 
lias not built the fence you may build the 
fence and bring action against him for 
the value thereof, unless there has been j 
an agreement to let the lands lie open. 
It would be advisable to have your notices 
drawn by an attorney, who will keep you 
straight in the proceedings. n. t.
