Adoption  by  Alien 
In  1911  I  went  to  Italy  to  bring  a 
niece,  orphaned  of  both  parents,  to  live 
in  this  country.  My  husband  is  not  an 
American  citizen,  but  an  Italian.  Can  he 
adopt  my  niece?  At  present  she  is  only 
15  years  old  and  by  the  Italian  law  can¬ 
not  be  adopted  until  she  is  18.  Can  the 
adoption  be  done  now  under  the  Ameri¬ 
can  laws?  If  it  is  feasible  what  should 
I  do  ?  MBS.  L.  G.  U. 
New  Jersey. 
There  seems  to  be  no  reason  why  you 
and  your  husband  could  not  adopt  your 
niece  if  you  desire  to.  Your  application 
should  be  made  to  the  Orphans  Court.  The 
consent  of  the  natural  parents  has  to  be 
obtained  if  they  are  living  and  a  formal 
petition  prepared.  You  will  need  an  at¬ 
torney  to  assist  you  in  this.  N.  T. 
Wife’s  Liability  for  Judgment 
/Wheye  a  married  woman  has  paper  or 
receipt  to  show  she  paid  for  all  stock 
and  tools  on  farm,  can  she  hold  same? 
How  long  does  a  judgment  last?  If  hus¬ 
band  and  wife  rent  a  'farm  and  the  wife 
signs  same  contract,  does  that  entitle 
to  holding  same  crop,  etc., .or  could  this 
be  a  judgment,  if  any  put  on  crops, 
against  husband  only?  Can  a  judgment 
be  put  on  anything  a  wife  owns  if  judg¬ 
ment  is  against  her  husband?  j.  v. 
Ohio. 
A  judgment  lasts  for  20  years.  It  is  a 
lien  on  real  property  for  10  years  and 
then  may  be  renewed.  A  husband  can¬ 
not  transfer  his  property  to  his  wife  for 
the  purpose  of  defrauding  creditors.  Sev¬ 
eral  have  attempted  this  and  the  court 
has  set  aside  the  conveyance  making  an 
additional  cost  and  expense.  If  the  wife 
actually  purchased  the  stock  and  tools 
with  her  own  money  and  they  belong  to 
her  separate  estate  a  judgment  against 
the  husband  could  not  be  collected  from 
her.  n.  T. 
Water  Pipes  Through  Farm 
A  village  is  putting  pipes  for  water 
line  going  through  my  little  farm.  Can 
1  refuse  to  sign  contract  for  90  years, 
and  get  pay  for  right-of-way,  and  dam¬ 
age?  IIow  shall  I  estimate  damage? 
Will  it  drain  moisture  from  land  (land 
is  sandy  soil )  ?  Must  I  have  it  recorded 
on  deed?  How  much  depreciation  on 
farm  when  I  sell?  I  would  like  all  points 
on  such  cases ;  my  rights,  power  of  the 
village,  etc.  'Who  will  estimate  the 
damage?  w.  H.  D. 
New  York. 
If  the  village  does  not  have  to  go 
through  some  of  your  crops  you  will  not 
suffer  any  very  great  damage.  Perhaps 
you  could  get  a  contract  with  the  village 
to  supply  your  buildings  with  water.  If 
you  couid,  the  line  would  increase  your 
property  rather  than  damage  it.  The 
right-of-way  will  probably  include  a  right 
to  enter  the  premises  for  the  purpose  of 
making  repairs  to  the  pipe,  hence  you 
should  have  some  provision  for  paying 
you  any  damage  done  to  crops.  It  is'  im¬ 
possible  to  state  the  damage  done  with¬ 
out  knowing  the  extent  of  the  property 
occupied  and  the  nature  of  the  property. 
If  you  do  not  agree  as  to  the  amount  of 
damage,  the  court  will  appoint  commis¬ 
sioners  to  ascertain  the  damage  to  the 
property.  It  will  be  much  more  simple 
if  you  can  agree  upon  -the  amount  of 
damage.  n.  t. 
Poor  Railroad  Fence 
T  own  a  farm  and  am  having  much 
trouble  with  my  cattle  going  along  the 
track  into  the  neighbors’  crops,  thus 
causing  much  damage,  for  which  I  am 
held  responsible.  This  trouble  could  be 
avoided  only  by  fencing  the  track  prop¬ 
erly.  At  the  present  time  only  a  small 
part  of  the  railroad  track  is  fenced,  and 
that  is  in  a  broken-down  condition.  The 
cattle  guard  is  very  old  and  of  very  little 
use,  for  my  cows  have  no  trouble  walking 
over  it.  I  have  written  the  railroad  su¬ 
perintendent  several  times,  and  also  had  a 
personal  interview,  with  the  result  that  I 
received  a  reel  of  barb  wire,  which  was 
barely  sufficient  to  patch  up  part  of  the 
old  fence.  Ever  since  the  beginning  of 
August  I  have  been  forced  to  keep  my 
cattle  in  the  barn  during  the  night  to  pre¬ 
vent  them  from  disturbing  the  neighbors. 
By  holding  my  cows  in  the  barn  I  have 
suffered  a  loss  in  milk,  besides  having  an 
extra  expense  in  feeding  them.  What  ac¬ 
tion  can  I  take  in  order  to  compel  the 
railroad  to  set  up  proper  fences?  j.  a. 
New  York. 
The  railroad  law  provides  for  the  build¬ 
ing  of  fences  by  railroads,  describes  the 
kind  of  fence,  provides  that  the  railroad 
company  shall  be  liable  for  all  damages 
done  by  its  engines  or  cars  to  domestic 
animals  thereon  if  they  escaped  on  to  its 
tracks  through  a  defective  fence,  but  it 
seems  to  omit  the  procedure  for  compell¬ 
ing  a  railroad  to  build  its  fences.  Prob¬ 
ably  the  Supreme  Court  can  compel  the 
building  of  ,a  fence  by  mandamus.  You 
would  probably  save  money,  however,  by 
building  the  fence  yourself.  n.  t.

Barnes 
The  Summit  process  of  Porcelain  Enameling  is  today 
recognized  and  accepted  as  the  best  in  the  American  market. 
Being  fused  into  the  basic  metal  of  the  stove,  and  not  merely 
“  coated”  on  the  surface,  it  positively  will  not  crack  or 
peel — nor  will  it  discolor  and  lose  its  smooth  lustrous  sur¬ 
face.  Summit  enameling  is  a  boon  to  the  housewife,  because 
it  does  away  with  all  the  drudgery  of  stove-cleaning;  a 
damp  rag  will  instantly  remove  all  grease  and  dirt,  and  the 
enameled  surface  never  requires  polishing.  Any  of  our 
ranges  may  be  had  in  these  colors — Turquoise  Blue,  Pearl 
Gray,  Dark  Brown,  White. 
Illustrated  above  is  the  Summit  Syphon  A  range.  Note 
the  Syphon  Flue,  which  draws  heat  into  the  oven  and  keeps 
it  in  constant,  even  circulation.  The  Summit  Syphon  Ranges 
are  without  question  the  greatest  achievement  in  modern 
range  construction.  Let  us  send  you  name  of  nearest 
dealer,  who  will  show  and  demonstrate  this  splendid  range. 
The  Summit  Pipeless  Furnace,  w'ith  the  Special  Sum¬ 
mit  Installation,  positively  eliminates  all  cold  air  floor 
drafts.  For  giving  real  comfort  in  the  home  the  Sum¬ 
mit  Prpeless  stands  supreme.  Write  us  for  particulars.
