SELLING THE OLD FARM.-There is con.
slant buying and selling of farms going on
from year to year in our country. This rest
lessness on the part of the farmer, and this
desire to change present location for anoth-
er one, hundreds of miles of, is so frequently
witnessed in our day that we cease to wonder
at it. In the time of our forefathers, when a
man was settled on a farm, he commonly con-
tinued on it through life, and then left it for
his son. In times gone by, the same farm was
first occupied by the grandfather, and so on
by the son and grandson. Then the good old
homestead was reverenced and the occupancy
of it was esteemed a great privilege. There
was a satisfaction felt by the successor that
his predecessor was his relative, cultivated the
same fields, wandered by the same brooks,
traversed the same hills, and ate Of the fruit
of the same orchard. Then there was home
feeling, home associations, and home attach
ments Now the farmer looks. more to his
pecuniary gains, and when offered large
price for his land, hesitates not to sell. He
quits his beautiful home, his well-cultivated
acres, emigrates to the far West, and COM
mences life of hardship that he never
dreamed Of It can safely be said that where
one man succeeds in this undertaking many
fail. If be could only sell his new farm how
gladly would he hie back to the old home,
now occupied by strangers, and the enclosure,
which contains the graves of his kindred, 60
ing to ruin. With the advent of spring,
many will dispose of their farms and remove
to far-of country, to undergo the privations
and troubles incident upon establishing a
home in new country. Our advice is to re-
main where you are. If you are comfortably
of, be contented to remain so. Do not ex-
change certainty for an uncertainty, unless
powerful reasons are brought to bear upon
you to seek new settlement in distant re-
gion. Stick to the old farm, for it has never
failed you in the time of need.-New Eng
land Homestead.
