How 40 Encrease Ihe Price Of



Itmay not have entered into the
minds of some farmers, that the
price of land in any particular
neighborhood is governed or regu-
lated by the profits obtained from
the cultivation of il. The increased
profit from dairy farming never
fails to advance the price of land.
The introduction of fne stock of all
kinds has the same effect. If every
neighborhood would raise q purse
and buy Norman or PerchcroD
stallion for use in the vicinity, and
a good shorthorn or two, and some
first-class Berkshire boars, and i'm
prove the stock of all kinds kept on
the farm in like manner, it would
have the effect TO raise the price oil
land in five years five dollars per
acre. This is not all it is really a
clear profit of that much, for the en-
HANGED value Of the stock will more
than pay the expense incurred. In
what other way can capital be IN
vested with more secure returns
This is a subject which the oranges
ought to work up. 1t is practical

of land has increased, III cOnse-

than tins. One factory would b.
sufficient for the wants of the citi
zens for three miles each way, OF
just four times that sum, which
would be $460, 800, as the increased
value of the real estate. The more
clear profit that can be obtained
from land, the more il will sell for
