about 100000 and night population

limits. The general street traffic is
carried on by about 900 miles of tram.

and 12,000 cabs. Internal communica-
tion is also provided by two lines of
underground railways. with suburban
connections, and three dcep-level roads
operated electrically. Two lines are
under construction, six more author
lied and parliamentary rights are
sought by existing Or new compan:e :es
for thirteen railways, or notifications
or extensions thereof. Most important
of the existing roads for internal traffic
and admitting of the greatest possibil

We are frequently asked nowadays
if a man should buy or rent farm. II
a man has teams and tools enough to
run a farm, and enough money to
make Il payment down. we would be
in favor of buying. A man can work
his own land to better advantage than
if he rents it. Then. too. he will be
more saving while paying for a farm
He will not buy many unnecessary
things that would tempt him if he
were not trying to pay for his land.
Besides this he can make improve
ments during odd spells without much
expense. There is also the increase iE
the value Of the land. which of itself
has made many a man well to do. 1t
