more than dozen temperance lectures:
Men need no stimulant; it is some
thing, am persuaded, that they can
do without. When l went into the
field, at the beginning of the war, a
good lady friend of mine gave me two
sealed bottles of very superb French
brandy. l carried them with me
through the entire campaign; and
when I met my friend again, after
all was over. 1 gave her back both
ottles, of brandy, with the seals I'M

A FINANCIAL TALK.
Upon What the Valuation of Farm lands
Should BE Based.

Upon what should the valuation of
farm lands, be based? Farmers have
usually priced their farms as much on
the ground of arbitrary preference and
choice as upon almost any other con-
sideration.. Of course productiveness,
proximity to market. improvements,
ETC., have. figured to some extent in
this valuation; yet after all FARMS can
not be said to have been valued in the
same way that other productive prop
erty is rated in the market. The time
has come, however, when farmers are
beginning to look at this matter in
different light The farmer is now
more of a business man than he has
ever been before, and he is making an
effort to. rate his lands on the basis of
what they will produce and the divi-
dends they will afford rather than upon
what have heretofore been the chief
considerations
70 illustrate: A farm of 100 acres
which in term of years can be made
to produce net income Of 5000 pro-
fit would naturally. in business circles.
be rated as worth 500 per acre. and
the market price of the land would
fuctuate above and below that figure
according as this income could be in
creased or was reduced, On this
basis, which is coming more and more
to figure in the market, a great deal of
change in local estimates of real estate
would probably be made. Many dis
tricts in which farms have heretofore
been selling at high figures could
hardly sustain their high position, if
lands were to be valued according to
their production.
This basis of valuation probably has
more to do with the present depression
in real estate than any thing else. 1t
is simply question of how much can
be gotten out of given investment in
farm lands. The investment will
stand about so much. and no more; and
values are rated accordingly. What
over else may figure in determining the
price at which given farm sells. the
ruling consideration hereafter will be
the ability to realize dividends upon
the investment. -Nationa Stockman.
