AGRICULTURAL.

The activity Of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire in the matter Of rehabitiug has re
vivcd public interest in the Swedish immi-
grafton experiment in Maine, where a col
ony was established in Aroostook county in
1870. This colony has prospered beyond
the most sanguine expectations. The first
company included % men, I women and
Is children, or 81 persons in all. The pop
ulation of New Sweden is now over 1000,
aud new arrivals from the old country are
reported year 10y year. Seventy families
came the second year and they keep coming
They are well liked and make good citizens
We are not personally acquainted with
+. W. Moseley Of Clinton Iowa, who writes
the letter on Vermont Farmers else
where copied from the New England Far
mer, but he is evidently man who knows
what he writes about from his own obser
walton and experience, and he holds the
scales even handed between the farmers of
Wisconsin and Vermont with regard to
their respective intelligence, enterprise
and ability TO think for themselves. We
did not undertake to reply personally to
Gov Hoard's amusing assumption that
Vermont farmers are an antediluvan class
whose brains have gone TO seed and who
never read or think, because such state
ment would have been considered preju-
diced one but Mr.. Moseley has done the
work more completely and ably than we
could have done it, and his letter needs no
further comment than this from us

what i. Being Done for Them in New
Hampshire.

Commissioner of Immigration Nahum j.
Batchelder of New Hampshire has received
answers to 100 out of 23j circulars sent to
the selectmen Of as many towns in that
state, and l2O report 92i deserted farms,
while the other 10 report they have none

condition. The number in each county is :

Grafton, 229; Coos, IL Acworth, in Sui
llvun county, has appointed an agent to co
Operate with the commissioner, and as that
town reports large number of desirable
farms, he has been there with view to be
ginning the work of repopulatiou Letters
have been received from individuals in
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
New York and other states, making inqui
ries about the farms and to answer SUCH a
catalogue of deserted farms will be issued
containing the location, general description
and price of each, and will be prefaced
with description of the state, its soil,
products, manufactures, banks, railroads,
creameries, granite quarries, etc, and con
tain a map of the state. About IL, 900 cop

the catalogue -, 600 folders, having map

the returns show about one half as many
occupied as deserted farms for sale, it is
proposed to give their owners the advan
tage OF the work being done by the commits
sioner on payment of one per cent of the
selling price of each farm This will in
cuGe mention in the catalogue and all other
advantages given to occupants of deserted
| farms, A circular has been prepared to be
sent to owners of deserted farms, contain
| ing blanks to be filed out, giving the loca-
ton of each farm, acres in woodland, pas
turage and moving land, size of house and
barn, fencing, water supply, grated fruit,
| the reason why the farm was abandoned,
| and the price and conditions of sales New
! Hampshire has set an example, which, if
emulated by the rest of New England, will
| speedily result in placing the six eastern
states in the front rank of agricultural
states east of the Mississippi. The princi-
pal cause given for the abandonment of
farm lands and for tenantless farms, is the
| going of young men to the cities, the high
| prices and scarcity Of farm labor and the
extensions of the railroads so as to divert
! travel and business to new centres and new
lines. New England now offers exception
al facilities to persons of limited means for
securing a home at very reasonable prices
with an assurance of comfortable living

constitutional disease the ordinary cough medi-

Many people who have taken this medicine for
Scrutula, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and other
troubles have been surprised that it should cure
this troublesome cough But to know the actual
cause Of the cough is to solve the mystery. Many
cases of consumption can be traced back to the

ment in this state to.develop our agricultu-
raj and manufacturing resources. 1t is an

Of dishonesty and speculation. The term
is properly used when poor, dried-up soil,

land for agricultural purposes are made at

Low Average Weld of POInIoea for
the Whole Country.

1t has been stated that the potato CROP
though poor in New England was a full av-
erage taking the whole country This APP
pears to he a mistake The October report
Of the department Of agriculture says that
the condition of the crop according to the
reports for that month was, with three ex-
ceptions, the lowest If the reported con
dltlon has been accurately made, it indicates
an average yield in the United States of
only about 20 bushels per acre In New
England and the middle states the crop is
the poorest on record. The best potato
crops are usually grown in the eastern and
middle states but this year the states west
Of the Mississippi river have produced the
best crop of the country. Farmers that
have poratoe. to sell this year ought to get
a good price for them.
