When to Buy q Farm.

Very few persons know that the
months of June and July are the best
in the year in which to look for or pur.
chase farm. AT this season one can
judge good crops, for if it is rich, the
waving grvss and grain will be an ocu.
lar demonstration of the fact, and il
there is according to the stereotyped
assertion, an abundance of choice fruit
it can be seen at this time, to the best
advantage. The low lands will show
whether they are really dry enough for
pasture in the summer, and the upland
in capacity for withstanding drouth.
If there are any mosquitoes about, they
will generally make their appearance
known at this time If ever, and by OBJ.
serving the children in the neighbor-
hood one can determine whether the
locality is otherwise.
Summer is also a good time to view
the never-failing spring, and the trout
pond near by, and draught from the
one and a lunch from the other are at
fractions which those who possess them
seldom fail to bestow upon those who
are like to become purchaser. Even
the weeds on farm will assist man
in determining its value. for if moth.
ing but stunted ragw eed and fivefnger
are to be seen then the land may be
set down as poor indeed, but if bur.
dock and catnip abound, it shows
strength for crops of higher order
