COME TO THE WEST.

Spectators have all either collaps-
ed or romoosed," and the way is
now clear for persons who desire to
make permanent home in Iowa, to
come and select it. Under the pre-
emption law the poor man has one
year from the time he makes his set
Element to pay for the land. This
gives men possessing small means a
good chance. They can get the prai-
RE "broke "-ploughed for three dol
lars per acre-and can raise enough
the first year off of twenty acres to
support their family, and have enough
to sell to pay for the land. This is no
exaggerated statement, as thousands
who have secured their homes in this
way will attest. If the emigrant has
stock he will have no difficulty in TAX
ing care of tin summer it will take
care of itself All the owner has to
do is to turn it out upon the prairie
and salt it once week, and long be-
fore winter it will be fat as a seal
He can go upon the prairie and cut hay
for the winter, and by setting four
forks in the ground and placing poles
in them, he can stack his hay upon
and around the forks, and thus make
comfortable shelter for his stock
during the winter In the East, where
all are accustomed to see large frame
OF brick barns, people cannot under.
stand how we of the West survive up
on what they look upon as "bleak
prairies," during the winter, and
hence many that would come West
are deferred from coming. Had thou
sands of people who now reside in the
East, and perhaps always will contin-
ue to reside there in poverty, only the
acrre to make the start for the West,
they would on their arrival here find
things quite different from the repre-
sensations they have heard, and in a
few years would find themselves the
owners of farms and surrounded by all
the luxuries which they could desire
All that is wanting is nerrc enough to
induce them to pack up and start
West. When they once start, we
may say their fortune is made, for
few faint by the way. Now is the
time to start West-in consequence
Of the money panic-evcrything is
cheaper than it will
be again for many years to come.
Now is the time for man of small
means to come West.
Lands of the best quality can easily
be obtained at Sl,25 per acre, and
year allowed to make the payment, Q
and at the end of that time the best {
title in the world can be secured-the
United States of America will warrant
and defend it, Now is the time to
come-now when the spectators are I
all hard up, and while everything is
cheap. Some suppose that it is not
good time to move to new country
when times are dull. In this they
are mistaken. Dull times are the
very times, for one who wants to pro-
cure a farm, to move in. At such
times he will find second hand farms
with considerable improvements cheap,
and if he has little money he can
purchase one and settle down, and be
at home at once, but if he has no mon
cy he can "squat" upon good land in
"a good neighborhood, and the search
ty of money will prevent the specula-
tor from molesting him.
