they have come into use naturally
enough, they have served to confuse
the minds of many, and have given
false impressions because carelessly
used. These two words have been
used to describe farms not under
cultivation. We do not understand
that there are any farms In this state
that have been abandoned or desert
ed to such an extent that they have
no owners. Anyone camping down
upon one of these farms without
authority would find this to be true
very quickly.-[ Burlington Free
One of the Benefits.
Scarcely has the effort to re-popu-
late Vermont begun, when there are
thousands of people with limited
means, who are anxious to know OF
these cheap farms, and many of them
will soon be buyers This should be
significant to present owners in Yer
mont, that their places are not as
worthless as they supposed. Surely
if a farm be worth buying, it is
worth keeping as a home. Undoubt
edly the endeavor will result in a
benefit worth millions of dollars to
the state, by convincing her good
citizens that the pleasant and not
unproductive farms they own are
considered valuable by others, and
making them more cOntented with
surroundings The western craze is
nearly over. When good, tillable
land in a densely populated place like
New England can be bought for less
than ST. per acre with improvements
thrown in, it hardly pays to go into
a wilderness and raise corn at seven
cents bushel, and ship hogs thou
sands of miles to market at starva-
ton rates, because unable to dispose
of them more prohtably nearer home
and at less expense. 1t is a good
thing for us all to learn theslesson of

STA TISTICS ABOUT VERMONT.

The Rutland Herald has taken the
trouble to pick out few figures from
the recent statistics put forth by the
department of agriculture, showing
VermOnt'S resources and annual
farm and industrial products. Ac-
cording to the department figures,
the annual value of Vermont farm
products now exceeds $27, 900, 900 !;
of live stock more than 500, 900, 900.
There are 80, 500 farms, of which
80, 76O are conducted by their own
ers. There are now SO ,S41 horses
and 225, 500 mich COWS. About
10000, pounds of butter are pro-
duccd annually, and the annual ma
pie sugar product is placed at 49,
900, 900 pounds valued at 81 ,OOO,-
900. Over $50, 100000 of Vermont
money are invested outside of the
state; and more than $17,OOO,-
600 are held as deposits by Vermont
Savings banks and trust companies.
The capital and deposits of national
banks are placed at $12,OOO,OOO.
In industrial enterprises invested
capital is estimated at $27 600, 900;

THE FUTURE OF OUR FARMS.

The recent historical anniversaries
have done much to bring many of
these old settlements into notice, and
the growth of the historical senti-
ment will be felt as an increasing aid
which has drained the country town
of its younger population, may be
used in part to retain 1t III the future.
1t is impossible for New England
farmers to compete with other parts
of the country in raising wheat or
corn; but there is no uncertainty or
risk in the resort to what will sell in
the home market, nor in turning to
stock-raising and wherever the far
mer rises to the situation and puts
the same energy into the cultivation
of the soil, he fairly rivals, in proper
ton to the investment made, the sue
cess of the business man in the city,
and is far more independent man.
We are in a transitional period in
New England, where it has been the
fashion to ignore rural life, but so
much depends in every respect upon
the hcalthful relation of the country
to the city, that i'll no long time the
country life must regain its place in
the affections of the people. We
shall never return to the old district
school, to the simple and primitive
habits and customs; but with much
that is modern, the plain living and
high thinking of New England are
sure to be vigorously maintained i'll
the future Out of the New England
fa rms will aOai1 come 2 race of men
and women who shall give virility
and strength to the nation. The
hardness of home life in the country
has been exaggerated, because the
cheap comforts of the city and town
have been over-estimated.- From

VERMONT SHEEP IN A USTRALIA.

American merinOS are now known
and advertised in Australia as Yer
mont merinos, and the thorough
Vermont register system is recog-
nized as of great value and is recon-
mended for adoption in all the i'm
proved focks. Among the importers
is Mr.. Samuel Mccartney, who
shears annually more than 1,OOO,-
900 sheep. He has made several per-
sonal visits to Addison county, VT,
and paid high prices for selections of
stud sheep from the best flocks. The
highest price paid in Australia this
year for a single sheep was 81 ,533,
but formerly as high a price as So

Competition For Foreigners.
The spectacle is to be seen in two
adjoining states of New England
Vermont and New Hampshire = of
generous rivalry in the importatio
of foreigners as farmers. Vermont
has already invited a colony of
Swedes to take possession of the
abandoned fields in some of its town
ships, and the New Hampshire COM
missioner has opened two price lists
of abandoned farms in that state to
the competition of foreigners or ma
tives, whichever party may be most
interested to take them up This
competition is an excellent thing 1t
will go far toward advertising these
vacant homeSteads and making our
own citizens appreciate their value.

IT VIII BE Success
Commenting on the recent report
from Vershire, Bradstreet's saws:
Nothing appears likely to stand i'll
the way of the success of the scheme,
provided the colonists are settled on
fertile land and not on farms which
have been abandoned because they
are run out and worthless" The
activity of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire in this matter has revived pub
lie interest in the Swedish immigra-
ton experiment in Maine, where a
colony was established, in Aroostook
county, in 1870. This colony has
prospered beyond the most sanguine
expectations The first company in
cluded % men, II women and Is
