ABANDONED FARMS.

The recent New England Farm
Conference has resulted in renewed
interest in agriculture in the East.
The stigma which has attached to the
so-called abandoned farms" of the
Sterile and rock-bound coast" is in
process of removal, and much inter
esting testimony regarding improved
and improving conditions is being
brought out, says The Rochester Dem
ocrat and Chronicle
1t is not denied, in any quarter, that
there was a time, not yet remote,
when agriculture on some of the rocky
farms of New England was at an ex-
tremely low ebb. 1t was averred,
with more truth than leyity, that on
some of the thin-soiled farms along
the Northern Atlantic coast it re-
quired from two to three acres to
furnish Sustenance to a healthy goat,
and the greater number of acres a
land holder possessed the more i'm
poverished was his condition
Much of the evident improvement
of New England farms is attributed
by Secretary Ellsworth of the Massa-
chusetts Board of Agriculture to the
activities and teachings of the Grange,
which he denominates the farmers
greatest blessing In ten years,
largely through the beneficent infiu-
ence of this organization the increase
of farm products amounted to over
sixty million dollars. Lieutenant
Governor Draper, who has a farm of
eighty-two acres, declares, as prac-
tical expert, that farming life in
Massachusetts is prosperous. Cover
nor Guild says that the State Board
of Agriculture has made rural life
both pleasant and profitable, and is
adding to the value of farm properties
by the system of excellent highways
which is being provided
1t is probable that the scientific
education afforded at the New Eng
land agricultural colleges is also hav-
ing it's effect as elsewhere, in inn
proving farm conditions and giving
intrinsic value to farm properties
which had come to be regarded as
practically valueless. The beneficial
effect of these agricultural colleges is
not confined to New England Even
in the Empire State farming condi-
tions are improving, and instances
have been known of late where men
who had removed to the Far West
from New York have returned to the
farms of their fathers in this State,
and are prosperous under modern in
tensive and intelligent methods of
farming.
