'sDon't kill the goose that lays the

plication. There has been considerable
demand for land near Green's Farms sta
ton within the past few months, but.
since Austin Jennings sold p acres to
Mr. Sooysmith of Brooklyn for $1,000 an
acre, the price of farm land has advanc-
ed so greatly as to deter sales. Some
are said to have refused $1,000 an acre
and the BEE is Informed that from IL to

the Farms within a year had not the
price of land been too great.
