“There is not here presented a case in which the bankrupt has dual residences such as obfuscate a determination of his homestead. Neither Mr. Neale nor his family made such use of the farm as to render it their “sanctuary of secure asylum.” It was not a “home” from which they were absent by reason of necessity or convenience. The farm was but a retreat, advantage of which was taken by the Neales during their leisure time.”
