LAW FOR THE FARM
BY A. H. THROCKMORTON,ATTORNEY-AT-LAW
Tenant's Rights-Married Woman's Separate EstateSurface Wa l e r-Water Right, etc.
TENANT'S Rights: If the well on leased premises goes dry, can the landlord compel the tenant to drive a new one?
Michigan. A SUBSCRIBER.
In the absence of any provision in the contract of lease which may be construed to decide this point, the tenant can not be compelled to drive the well, nor can he compel the landlord to drive it. In the absence of a special covenant to that effect, the tenant can not be compelled to make repairs, nor does the landlord insure that the premises will remain in as good condition as at the time of the lease. The tenant may have to find water as best he can, but before renewing the lease should stip ulate for a better well.
A. dies within a year after his marriage, leaving a widow, but no children. Does his widow inherit his whole estate?
Pennsylvania. READER.
The widow takes one-half the personally absolutely, also one-half the real estate, including the mansion house and outbuildings around it, for life.
The husband's collateral heirs take one-half his estate, both real and personal, at once, and the remaining half of the realty upon the death of the widow.
Married Woman's Separate Estate: Will you please state whether the answer to " Old Subscriber " in the July number of FARM JOURNAL applies also to a case in Kansas? Has the wife the same property rights in this state that she has in Connecticut?
Kansas. L. P.
In Kansas, as in Connecticut, the wife, during her lifetime, has complete control over her separate property, free from any interference on .the part of the husband. In your state, however, should the wife die intestate, the husband would take one-half of the homestead in value, and also one-half of all other property, both real and personal. Should the wife leave no children nor descendants of children, the husband would be her sole heir, though by .will she could deprive him of half her property.
