SELECTING A FARM.
A Task Requiring Considerable Thought
and Investigation.


and Investigation.
To select farm wisely for ones per-
manent home requires much thought
and investigation. The climate should
receive attention to know it is suita-
BILE. Pure water and enough of it is
essential to comfort and health.
Swamps and stagnant pools should be
avoided unless they can be easily
drained. 1t is not advisable to locate
in a settled country where the roads
are naturally bad and worse neglected.
Travelling to town and back, say o
distance of five miles, for ones life
time, through mud, ruts and over
hubs, or on q smooth road, is differ
ence so great that it can hardly be
computed. Taxes should be inquired
into. Some States, counties and towns
are so burdened with debt that it is a
very serious matter with those who
have the taxes to pay. A county in
Indiana is now bonded $l,000,000 to
railroads; default has been made in
payments; the farmers are so in
censed that no officer dare try to force
the collection of taxes, and the United
States Supreme Court will be appealed
to for redress. The entire county will
be sold under the hammer if this in
debtedness is not paid. Many of tho
farmers can not pay, and think they
may as well be sold out one way as
another.
1t is generally unwise to locate in
any place where there is much public
Indebtedness. In some States real es-
tate is assessed at its full value and
the taxes are from two to four per
cent; other states assess at two-thirds
the value and the tax rate is about
e-fourths per cent, making vital
difference Then there are neighbors
to consider. 1t is unwise to settle
among disagreeable neighbors, or
where neighborhood broils exist; even
one "Ishmael" resident is sufficient to
condemn the locality. Having all
these preliminaries settled satisfac-
torily, if the farm and the price suit il
may be taken, and the owner will have
fair start to live happy and con-
tented life.-Galen Wilson, in Ohio

part of the real soldiers against those

Washington, June "a, 1889.
The President returned today from
Cape May, where he has been staying
with Mrs. Harrison and his grand chill

The President thinks the criticism he
is receiving from many republicans on
account of his sIowness in making
appointments is very unjust. In a
conversation with an old personal
friend ne said: 81 am being severely
