Those engaged in agriculture will have to change their system of farming and make it sccord with the altered conditions that prevail st the present time. Mr. Andrew Elliot, of Gailt, threw out a hint at s meeting of the Warmers‘ Institute, held in Waterioo Jast week, that a farmer was burdened with too much land, that farms were too large ana that if smaller farms were the rule, and these more thoronghâ€" Jy cultivateJ, the fermers would have wuch less worry and be much better off is pocket at the end of the year.

Not many years ago sixty, seventy and eighty dollars per acre were common figures for choice farms in Waterloo and Woolwich townships, and in a few cases as high as one hundred dollara an acre was paid for cxtre choice farmes. But a marked change has come about. The price of all kinds of farm products has ruled low eand the tendency has been steadily downward. Potatoes, apples and all kinds of coarse graimns are selling for a mere song. The very best of export cattle are being sold this spring at from four to four and oneâ€"half. cents. . The low price of farm products reacts directly upon the price of farm lands, and choice farms within a mile or two of Berlin, the best inland mar ket town in the Dominion, have recentâ€" ly been sold for lees than fifty dollars per scro. Afarm was sold the other day for which a few years ago the owner would have refused $12,000, for less than $9,000 ; another farm within nine miles of Waterloo, for which the owner refused $17,000 some few years ago, was sold for $10,000. | PECLINE IN FARM LANDz THURSDAY, MARCH 18th, 1897 TO AuVERTISERS Notice of changes must be m at this offich mot later than Saturday acon The copy tor changes must be left not later than?Tuesday noon.
