WE fnd the following in The Ne,O
En0l0nd Homestead: 4" Nine tenths of
our farms are mortgaged for all they
are worth This statement has been
made so often that the general impress
sion among all classes of people is that
it represents the facts" Now we must
be very uuobservant, for newspaper
man, if this allegation of the Homestead
is true, or approaches truth. We have
large list of exchanges, and have been
on agricultural editor for nearly twenty
five years; but we cannot recall ever
having seen 80 rrepos,erous a state
ment in regard to the condition Of
American farms. 1 is grossly absurd,
upon the face of it. We wish the
Homestead would give its readers a few
references which will justify wha seems
to us an astonishingly loose assertion.
But we do not mean by this to give
currency to a doubt that the Indebted
ness of American farmers has been
much eXaggeratt d.

have in our library full set of the in
valuable reports of the Wisconsin State
Horticultural Society, in which there is
a pretty full record of the work carried
on in that state in the lines noted by
our correspondent. There is not any
doubt that the progressive farmers OF
Wisconsin are keeping up with the
times in orchardirg and forestry. The
fossils, there as here, are probably not
aware of this fact. 1t may be there, 0s
In Vermont, that not one farmer in @
