Some of these farms, the descriptions
of which indicate that their locations
and other characteristics fit them for
country residences for wealthy city folks,
are priced higher than those above de-
scribed. But the melancholy fact en-
forced by reading the catalogue is that
farming in Massachusetts, which was

tates, notwithstanding the fact that the
home market has received all the de-
possible under the protective
