SELECTING A HOME.

In the matter of deciding where 10
select farm and make home there
are few things which should have
careful consideration. Among these,
are climate, rainfall, length Of growing
season. quality of soil, present and
prospective markets, general character
of the settlers as to nationality, reli-
gion and politics. Many men go 1t blind
as to all these things in choosing a To-
cation, only later on to realize that they
have made bad mistake. Tempted
by the low price of the land and the
specious representations of railway
literature and land agents, scores of
men are this season buying farms in
the semiarid belt, only to realize later
on that while they have the most fer
tile soil on earth the deficient rainfall
and the hot winds will persistently and
uniformly paralyze their best efforts.
Others similarly tempted will locate in
the south country, where therainfall is
ample, but the soil so sterile that a
crop is only possible when the value
of it is expended in artificial fertilizers
" plouuce IL. NOW, mere, are rev
rules which it will pay to heed in
selecting farm: Where. clover, corn
and grass will grow and do well year
after year, there the questions of fer
tility, rainfall and climate may be said
to be all right for the pursuit of di-
versified agriculture. for where these
will grow there viii stock ofIall kinds:
thrive, and where stock can be well
kept there will follow prosperity.
