Mr. C. A. Clark hands the News a
copy of a newspaper published at
Pottsdam, New York, which contains
some advertisements of farm lands
for sale in Vermont, which are high
ly interesting to western readers for
the reason that they afford a striking
comparison of values in the east with
present farm values in this section.
For instance, a Vermont farm is
offered for sale for $3,000, $2,000 in
cash and the balance on easy terms,
which in this country would readily
sell for $10,000 at least and possibly
double that amount. Here is a de
scription of this property: 130 acres
of rich loam, level and free from
stones, in high state of cultivation,
will keep 25 cows, and team, plenty
of wood and timber, good fruit or
chard and a dandy maple sugar bush
of l,00o trees, with sugar house and
all sugar-making tools, three and one
half miles to village, creamery, etc.,
one-eighth of a mile to school house,
on main road, R. F. D., near neigh
bors, cream is taken at the door, good
11-room house with piazza in front
and back, in good repair, running
water at house and barn, fair stock
barn with basement, hen house, etc.,
all in good repair, with one bull,
eleven milch cows, team of horses,
poultry, wagons, sleighs, harnesses
and complete set of farming tools.
Price for this property, where the
sugar bush alone can pay for it in
time. $3,000, $2,000 cash and $1,000 on
easy terms. Imagine such a place as
that in “the west being offered for
$3,000.—Ravenna News.

A visit to the editor’s good mother
in Des Moines last week, found her
getting along finely, able to visit with
friends over the city and enjoying life
as she was wont to do before the ill
ness of last spring, which at the time
was thought would be fatal. She is
able to converse with the old time
fluency, read her bible. sing her old
songs and laughs with her old-time
gladsomeness. Though past the 84th
milestone she seems to have dropped
ten years of life, and the flush of
health has again mounted to cheek
and brow. We told her she was good
for ten years’ longer lease of life, and
she bids fair to make the prediction
hold true. Bless the dear old mother.
