sort ought to be done to encourage the
inland farmers of New England-de-
pendent wholly upon railroads to
reach their markets-to stay with us,
and go on trying to improve their con-
dition and develop the resources of
their farms, instead of emigrating west
ward. We are all interested; for, so
long as these hill farms are being
abandoned, the price, if not the value,
of even the best located farms is being
greatly depressed. 1t is said that on
the average all the real property of
New England goes through the pro-
bate courts once in twenty-five years.
This means the frequent sale of farms
and what farmer can leave to his
heirs depends, therefore, upon what
his farm will bring at what is practically
a forced sale. II.
