FARM Frs COLUMN N.
WHERE TO FIND HOMES.
From the N. Y, Tribune,


bines every desirable characteristic, with
the absence of all that are undesirable.
Where the soil is richest, the pioneer is
apt to be exposed to fever and ague, or
some other bilious disorder where you
have no forest to clear away, you will
probably pay dearly for fuel and fen
cling where you have short, mild win
terS, you will have long dry summers,
with a superabundance of insect life.
The Garden of Eden, we infer, must
have been located in the other hemis-
phere.
II. A healthy atmosphere is hardly
less essen, iaI than q fertile soil. In VAIN
shall your fields be black with vegetable
mold, ii you lie shaking when you are
badly needed between the plow handles.
Do not forget this in choosing new
home.
III. Vicinity to coal is an i'm portant
consideration, even though no mines
should be opened for ten years 10 come.
Even though you mean to live wholly by
farming, if you should give more for land
partly underaid with coal. So value
iron or other ores, even though you may
expect neither to dig ana smell them
The same Is true of wa.er power.
". The diverse attractions or recon- |
merdations of various localities may be
roughly indicated as follows:
