a vEgIvADLH PARADISE.

TO the Swiss who can bring with
him more or less ready cash cnpital.
with tho wish to provide for himself
II home among the rich farming lands
Astounding III this section, Virginia
would prove II vcritable paradise.
Good farm lands. in the lower por-
ton of tho State, located in close
proximity to railroad facilities, can b ,
purchased mt from five to ten dollars
per acre. In the more elevated pla
teaus, land sells at from $40 to $40
per acre. The latter price may seem
Il high estimate, but | would ask the
kind reader TO remember that these
lands are cleared almost entirely of
the virgin forest, are under actual
cultivation, and have dwellings, and
outbuildings thereon standing. These
facts taken Into consideration, the
price will appear more reasonable.
Tho Virginia farmer, i'll my hum
Bile opinion, seems hacking in the true
knowledge of scientific farinine.-
Moreover, to one from our part of
the world. he seems sadly lacking in
energy. Thus, man, who, under
these mild laws may be the posses.
sor aud absolute monarch OF many
hundred acies of land, often receives,
therefrom, either through lack of
good management or want of thrift.
an income clearly proven to be no
greater than one OF our own practic-
al, energetic, thrifty farmers obtains
from no more than fifty acres of our
Own sterile soil.
From this passing view of the sit
uation, permit mo the privilege of an
adviser. Let those who contemplate
emigration to this part of the world
be careful noteto attempt to become
the possessor of too large trac.s of
land, bnt, by judicious selection, both
OF soil and location and improved
methods of culture, be content to
coniine their holdings to much small
er boundaries. Say for man of
limited means, not more than from
80 TO SO acres.

No Cloud Without Rain.

A very curious fact is that a cloud is
always raining. Even in summer, when
the cloud over our heads is white, the
drops are falling from it. But they are
very small and they evaporate before
they reach the earth. In evaporating
they pass from the cloud particle stage
to the haze particle stage; from satura-
ton to simple condensation, or the dry
dust particles on which the condensation
took place may be left perfectly dry. 1t
is general truth that when cloud is
formed it begins to rain. The minute
particles of water come down in millions
The distance they fall depends on their
size. If the air the cloud rests on is dry
aud warm they do not get far. If it is
chilly they collect in masses and form
drops of rain that reach the earth. -
