The Farm.

Spelman derives the word farm"
from tho Saxon ".fearme', or
'feorme," whieh signifies food or
provision; as the tenants and coun-
try-people anciently paid their rents
In victuals and other necessaries OF
life. Hence farm was originally
place which supplied its owner or
lord with provisions The word
"ferme' is also French, and farm
is probably SO called from its being a
firm or fixed possession OF the land
BY one who labors on il.
