VOL. XXII. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, AUG. 27,1887. NO. 36 %aw glcpitvtmcnt. BY VINSON l-AKTKK, JUKI., THIS CITV. Is any iM-rsnn liable to Ik* indicted for playing base hall on Siimlay? C. I). No; except in cities where there is* an ordinance against Sunday base ball play - ing. A buys a farm of H, the ileetl being in B's ami his heirs' name, tin' heirs not Damed, only "heirs." Can lt make A a good deed, the heirs not signing the deed. Miami Oo. W. I„ L. Yes. A and B bought out the heirs of real estate, and A and B got the county surveyor to divide the said land, about 80 years ago. B sells his land. Now can the purchaser come on A for any deficiency. Capo Sands. Sub. No. 1. I in the supervisors have the right to take up stock that is herded on tbe public highways? ■J.. If a public highway runs through A's farm does B have a right to herd his stock on said road without the consent of A? O. P. H. Vigo Co. 1. No. 2. No. A leases his farm to B for one year for cash. Does that give A a lien on the crops raised ? B proposes to give A a lien on what is raised. S. R. Johnson Co. The law gives a lien on the crop for the rent and the provision in the lease does no more and is therefore unnecessary. It is just as well to rely upon the statutory lien. A buys B's land for taxes. Next year when tax paying time comes if A don't pay his tax should B pay it or not? (And other questions). II. 8. Areola. The person holding the last tax deed has the first claim. If a person holding a tax certificate pays subsequent tax, th'e amount is added to his certificate and he is entitled to get it back with interest. If a deed is made it is for the amount of the certificate and all subsequent taxes paid. A owns a farm and the road overseer is getting gravel against A's will and allowing just what he pleases for the same. Can A be compelled to sell gravel and damage his farm, or can there be a stop put to their getting gravel. T. Z. Freeport. The supervisor has the right to take any gravel necessary for repairing a public road, but he must have damages assessed for taking same by two disinterested persons, report such damages to the township trustee who must pay the same. 1. A's wife inherits money from her father; her husband takes the money and buys "-0 acres of land, and had 40 acres put in the wife's name and 40 acres in his name. Individually they join in a mortgage on the 80 acres to obtain money to pay the husband's debts. Can the mortgage be closed ? 2. Can the husband make a deed to the 40 acres direct to the wife in the above case? Tiiti.- 1. Tin' mortgage is good as to the husband's 40 acres, but not good as to the wife's 40 acres. 2. Yes. I am a road supervisor and have certain road tools in my hands. I am charged for the same by the township trustee, and the law makes me responsible for thecareand safe keeping of said tools. Who has control of them, the trustee or supervisor? Or to be more plain has the trustee the legal right to permit any person (supervisors included) to take the toolsfrom me, I having hands warned to use the same the next day? An Indiana Farmer Aiient. The supervisor has solo control of all tools in his road district, and the township trustee has no right to dispose of the same without the supervisor's consent. Qucrtj and Answer. Gtva your name and 'mslo'Ilo* when asking quen- tlorrs. Many i|iicrles go unanswered for failure to observe this rule. . 11. 8», Kempton. The drive well patent expired in 1885. We presume what you call a tubular well is the same thing. If so no royalty is required on it. Will some of tho readers of the Indiana Farmkr tell me how to make a hair wreath? What material to use and where to get it, and give some instructions aliout making, and oblige M. E. C. The thistle left us is not in bloom and we are not able to give the name of the variety. It is neither our common thistle (c. lanceolutiis) nor. the Canada thistle (e. tirvensis). There are several other varieties, occasionally found. Will wheat that was cut and threshed one year ago grow, if sown this fall? Some farmers say it will not. C. F. H. (I reencastle. Certainly. Wheat harvested 20 years ago will grow if it has been properly stored. J. II. T. wants to know when to cut bushes to prevent them from sprouting. Cut them in the dark of the moon. August the 17th and 18th was the time this year. Richmond. V. K. —We think it would have done just as well, in the light of the moon in July, this year.—Eds. Who is State fish commissioner, and what is his address? And how must I proceed to obtain carp to stock my pond? My pond is ready. Are there two kinds of carp? When is the best time to stock the pond? How many carp will an aero and a half support? J. P. Daviess Co. Mr. E. D. Branigan of Franklin has sent us a few plums, samples from a young tree of variety unknown to him, but vigorous and productive. The plums are quite large, measuring five inches around, oval, of a rich reddish purple color, covered with delicate bloom, mottled and specked with minute dots, stalk very short set in small cavity, suture indistinct, quality good. It is a stranger to us, but we are safe in recommending Mr. B. to propagate from it as fast as possible. It is an excellent variety. W. F. L., Clayton, sends us a curious looking insect for name. It is the mole cricket, not common in this country, and the first wo have seen. It is about an inch and a half long, of a liglit brown color, has a large head and strong fore legs or arms with linger shaped claws. It is found in damp places, where it burrows in the ground for roots and perhaps smaller insects. It sometimes injures sod and occasionally garden vegetables, but as was said it is not often troublesome in this country. I read an article on growing millet in one of last spring's issues of the Farmkr, written by a gentleman of Missouri; I read It carefully and was induced to try some. I bought my seed and found I hail aliout twice the amount I needed, after inquiring of those who havo raised it. On a plat of about four acres, I had about $2 worth of seed left, and it seems to be as thick as anyone could wish for fine hay. I think the farming classes would have inoi-e oonfldenos in our papers if many things were written by men of more extensive knew ledge. J. ('. ,1. Mr. Shepherd, the writer to whom you refer, gave the amounts recommended by the best authorities. Your land must be remarkably rich.—Kns. Meeting: of the Florists of America at Chicago. Editors Indiana Parmer: Tired of looking at the burnt up foliage and withered flowers in this portion of Indiana,! went to Chicrgo last week,hoping, as I mingled among the American florists and looked at their choicest flowers, brought from far and near, that I would get relief to some extent. I found nearly every State represented by men of prominence in the floral world. The First Regiment Armory on Jackson street was the place selected by the local florists. It was a quiet spot of beauty, although located right in the heart of the rush and roar of ( liicago. It was a notable and interesting gathering free from any of the ism's that often crowd themselves into every gathering these days. No one offered to indorse a presidential candidate or showed any axes he had to grind. To listen to tlii"se people talk I am led to believe that the life of the average florist is smooth and gentle. We find him remote from the harassments and vexations of the world surrounded by color and perfume. He is with us to make the world more lieautiful; he (lightens the attractions of personal beauty with the products of his skill and as we walked through and across that beautiful Lincoln Park we saw where they gratify the public taste to a large extent, by assisting nature in more ways than one. In their work there is no harm. Their works and goods speak for themselves and adulteration is unknown. James Yick and others came from the Kast with large displays of gladiolus, and entered into a meritorious conspiracy to present to their fellow laborers some of "Flora's fairest gifts." Large and queenly asters and highly colored zinnias flanked them on either side, making the contrast a pretty one. Of all the members of the floral kingdom, those that took our eye above all others, were the orchids brought to the exhibition by Henry A. Sielirecht, of New York. They are the rarest thing to-day in the flower family. Mr. S., read a paper on tlieir cultivation which proved that he knows all aliout them and their prloe. While in old Mexico the writer saw them, but like tropical fruits there they merely receive a passing look. We also saw other varieties from those on exhibition growing in the tropical garden at Lincoln Park. It might not be amiss to add that the jubilee bouquet ]ir< scnted to Queen Victoria was made solely of orchids. We fouud the flower cultivators to be plain, homely, good natured and not overflowing with oratorical powers, but it was plain to be seen that they were in dead earnest to more largely develop the beautiful and instructive art they are the guardians of. The Germans seemed to outrank any other nationality, the English next, then the Americans. The exhibits of immortelle work were the most elaborate. Here was shown what the florist can do. In this work he represented the manner in which the natural beauty of the flower can lie preserved. In this and othor dried flower work, so handsomely displayed, one could see the everlasting beauty and poetry of the flower almost as plain as if taught from a book. They showed to the spectator in an eloquent manner how perfect and how beautiful these creations of nature's own sweet and cunning hands are. I was somewhat surprised after visiting Hyde, Garfield and Lincoln parks, and many of the floral gardens, not to see flowers banked up mountain high at the exhibition, but they were conspicuously absent—not because they are not growing in Chicago by the ton—and pretty and choice ones at that. It seems that these people are extremely fond of flowers— more so than any other city we have ever visited. Many _went to the armory expecting to see a vast array of flowers. They sniffed the tube roses, squinted at the gladiolus and then passed on to the huge appliances for heating green-houses, the man with his insect powder,the patent sash lifter, tbe bouquet holder and a score of other practical things connected with flower growing. When we quit the spot we did so in the belief that the practical side of the florists business was largely dealt with. The venerable Peter Henderson wai present and made some practical talks. John Thorpe, of New York, Henry Bennett, of England, the originator of the great Bennett rose, spoke of the rose at length. Ernest Asmus, of New Jersey, J. M. Jordan, St. Louis, John N. May, New Jersey, Wm. J. Stuart, Boston, Edwin Lonsdale, Philadelphia, Chas. Anderson, Flushing, N. Y., and many others equally as prominent, took part in the proceedings. Indiana florists were well represented and carried off the lirst honors in the election of the earnest and energetic E. O. Hill, of Richmond, as president. Brightwood. Laurence. Dr. John M. Kitchen, of this city, has shown us some fine corn, samples of a crop grown on his farm near Lyons, Green county, by Mr. J. F. Wiugate. The corn is already well matured and almost past danger from frost, although about 100 days from planting. It was grown on land that was mostly covered with water, four years ago, and agrowth of swamp ash, willows and black berry vines. The yield will be not less than GO bushels per acre, notwithstanding the drouth. Drainage did it. At the old settlers' meeting near Ceuter- ville last Saturday it was estimated that 10,000 people were assembled. Six thousand came in vehicles, besides thousands on foot and by train. The average age of 56 of the oldest people present was 79 years. Samuel Boyd, over 94 years, and Mrs. Boggs, 105 years, were among the number.
