THE FINDING OF HONEY.
A Question 'I lint Hits Kniinncd the
Attention of l.enrnril Jurists
for n l oom Tii.ie.
Writing on laws relating to the lind
irg of honey, 1!. 1. Kislier in (llean
iug.s says: There was a sort of code
among bee-hunters ia the earlier tluys
of this country, and is said to have
been generally observed. It was to
tho effect that when a bco tree sv&
located and marked with the initials
of the finder, his rights were prima
facie, and zealously observed. Hut
this code tiitl not hold good in law,
especially against those holding an in
terest in the laud.
"If a person fin;! a bee-t ree contain
ing honey, or a hive of bees on an
other's land, :iml marks it at once illi
his initials, lie does not reclaim the
bees and vest t lie exclusive properly of
the bees or honey in himself, as
against one of the heirs having an in
terest in the land; nor does lie acquire
the right to bring in Ihe courts the
usual action of trespass against the
heir for cutting down the tree ami car
rying away the bees nnd honey," says
the Xew York supreme court in the
case of (iillet vs. Mason.
An early -and noted ease is reported
in 1 (Koot) Conn, tioodwin sued Mer
rill for cutting down a tree in the
forest that had a swarm of bees in it,
and taking the honey which he ((iood
win) had previously discovered. Mer
rill plead that said bees were a swarm
from his hive; that he lind frequent
ly "lined" them to near said tree, nnd
that said bees were his property. The
plaintiff replied that he found them
wild in the woods, and had a good right
to take them. The trial court gave the
plaintiff judgment of 30 shillings dam
age. The supreme court reversed this
judgment, and said: "A man's find
ing bees in a tree standing upon an
other man's land gives him no right
either to the tree or bees; nnd a
swarm of bees going from a hive, if
they can be followed and known, are
not lost to the owner, but may be re
claimed.
As early as 1S04 the Xew Hampshire
supreme court held that one who finds
n swarm of bees in a tree on another's
land, marks the tree with his initials,
nnd notifies the land oivner, cannot
maintain trover ngninst the land own
er for the bees nnd honey which he
obtained nnd converted to his own use
by felling the tree.
The Selection of Pallets.
As your young stock grows, select
from all the broods the very finest,
strongest nnd most vigorous pullets
to keep for winter layers. Size,
strength and vigor have so much to
do with egg production that one
should study this continually in the
flock and train the eye to see the best
egg producers while yet undeveloped.
Save all such for your own nse; never
part with them unless you have more
than you need. After they are select
ed keep them well under your own
eye and select from all these the very
best egg producers to lay the eggs
from which you will grow your future
stock, and gradually you will gain in
egg production. The best hens are
the ones that lay the largest number
of eggs that are of fair size, good form
and nicely finished. Such eggs sell the
best, usually produce the bestand have
the best value in the market. Feathers.
