eomplish much; nor would an improved credit system be much more success ful. For, at bottom, the reason why proprietors lease their farms they move to the towns is that they prefer small Ter profits and city life to larger gain in the midst of solitude. Detailed studies show that the highest percent age of tenants Is found on the most fertile land, While this indicates, in some measure, the natural operation of capital seeking investment, it is a more striking picture of the downward rush. The amazing prosperity of the American farmer has greatly acceler- ated the drift toward tenancy. Judged by reasonable standard, thousands of agriculturists are rich, and how rare is the rich man to-day who can resist the lure of the town! These men, after years of hard work, have saved enough to move into a town house without be- ing obliged to sell the old homestead.
 The New York Tribune thinks that unless landlordism is made crime, the army of tenants must continue to grow. Unfortunate as this is in many respects, tenancy need not be as black an evil as it is sometimes painted. It is true, as Professor Price reitrea tes, that tenants natural lack of interest in improving and maintaining farm tends to deplete the fertility of the leased land. But the increasing agri- cultural wisdom of farmers is doubt less already correcting this evil h abit. If farm leases, which are now short, should be materially heightened the tenants interest in keeping his lease- hold at the highest state of efficiency wo uld be much greater.

Austin Botsford of Lake George dis trict was i'll, with the grip, last week, and confined to his home.

Postmaster w. M. Reynolds of New town desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rural de- livery of placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes. The post master, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand supply of stamps consistent with and in ad- vance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins when necessary, iii purchasing sup plies of stamps.
