E..,ern Abana onea r.rm..

There is a growing demand for the
abandoned farms in the state Of Mas
sachusetts, and the State Board of
Agriculture is evidently of the opin-
ion that the day is soon coming when
there will be no such thing as an aban-
doned farm to be had. Hardly day
passes that the board does not receive
letters from persons living in cher
states inquiring about these farms, and
to such persons catalogues are sent
which give all the information neces-
sary to form very good idea of their
value, location, etc. The catalogues
now being distributed as they are
asked for are incomplete in come par
! ticuars, and so the assessors in the
different towns have been asked by
the board to furnish information con
corning farms that are unoccupied.
The replies to this request are coming
in rapidly, and the board will soon be
able to issue another catalogue which
will be quite as complete as one car
be made.
A majority of the requests for infor
nation concerning the farms cont
from farmers in other states, who t'upl
that farming is far moro profitable ii
