Excellent Summer Homes.

An exchange says: 1.-The recent sale OF
several Windham county farms for summer
homes to people from outside the state en-
courages the hope that in the near future
the abandoned farms, of which this county
perhlps has as few as any in the state, will
have been reclaimed and transformed into
inviting and profitable estates. City peo-
pie are beginning to understand that there
is value in these hill farms, with clear and
invigorating air, pure water and healthfui
surroundings, affording at nominal cost
most restful resorts, and there is an H.
creasing demand for farm property not too
tar removed from the rail- Dad lines. Most
of there farms with a little expense are
made to return good rae of interest on
the investment. A fairly good farm can be
had for about what it would cost to sum-
mer ones family at the seashore or at the
more fashionable mountain resorts, while
there is the satisfaction and enjoyment in
the freedom and independence OF posses
sion and ownership"
There are hundreds of good farms in
southern Vermont a little back from rail
road centers which can be purchased at re-
markably low figures, and in many in
stances the lumber to be found on these
places is worth more than the price asked
for the entire farm. The farm, make
splendid summer homes for city people and
it will be strange indeed if during the next
25 years many of them are not utiliz9 Tor
that purpose.
