New England Farms.

For many years remarkable and persistent
Efforts have been made TO colonize the cheap
lands in other parts of the country, says q
writer in the Hartford Times. The praises
Of Florida have been modestly sounded Vir-
yina and the Carolinas have not remained
unheard from. IL all the Advertisements,
maps, circulars and pamphlets descriptive and
lauistory of the cheap lands of the West,
with which New England has been flooded,
had been preserved, they would have mulched
the soil from the Madawasks settlements on
the Woodstock to Lorg Island Sound. Yet
our Yankees have never seen 10 this, evil
Iences of decline and decay" in those
sections that have been populated largely by
the lavish use of printers ink.
That many farms IN secluded parts of Ne "
England have been deserted is true Wheth-
er the action of those who abandoned them
was wise or foolish, the fact remains. But
it does not prove, nor even indicate, that
these farms are reproductive. Nor should
an inference be drawn from the fact, as it is
by superficial thinkers, to disparsge New
England agriculture. These farms can east
ly be rendered productive. What is lacking
is not good farms, but good farmers Sta
ti,tios prove that good farming pays better
in New England than any other part of the
country. Lower freight rates, enabling
farmers to place their products cheapiy in
distant markets would cause it to pay still
better.

mile to the north, three mills once stood,
and a number of dwelling houses The
