When to Buy a Farm

Very few persons seem to know that the
months Of July and August are the best in
the year in which 10 look for or purchase
farm. Atthis senson one canjudge whether
the lnnd can or does produce good crops
for if it is rich the waving grass and grain
will be ocular demonstration Of the fact
and, if there is, according to the stere'-
typed 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
pastures in summer, and the upland its
capacity for wll,stapding drought.
Summer is also very good time 10 view
the never failing spring and the trout pond

lunch from the other are attractions W hich
those who possess them seldom fail to
bestow upon those who are likely to be.
come purchasers. Even the weeds on a
farm will assist man in determining its
value; for, if nothing but stunted rag
weed and five finger are to oe seen. then
the land may be put down az poor indeed
but if burdocks and catnip abound, it
shows strength to produce crops Of higher
order.
The pasture and meadow, orchard and
garden, all show what they are and what
may be expected of them in these months
but earlier or later the aspect of things
may change. In the spring the trees have
not shown leaves, towers or fruit the
roads are muddy, if, ever, and the distance
