Don't mortgage the farm unless it is
imperatively necessary. Sometimes
by mortgaging a farm success is at
tanned where otherwise failure would
be inevitable. Usually, however,
when farmer signs mortgage he
FORCES the chains about him which
will hold him prisoner for the re-
mainder of his natural life Money at
seven per cent will double itself in ten
years if the interest is kept at interest.
If II farmer carries mortgage of $1,000
for thirty years, ut as low rate as
seven per cent, for the use of this
$1,000 90 he will pay 100000. Farmers
can hardly afford to pay so dearly for
the use of money. Therefore avoid
if you can. Live in the old
house awhile longer rather than raise
money with mortgage to build new
one. Better endure few priyations
now than to place mortgage on the
farm which will haunt all of your
dreams of future happiness and rob
your home of Its sunshine. Don't |
mortgage the farm.
Not long ago we met a farmer who
hires binders instead of buying them.
He says: at is cheaper to hire than
20 buy.n
There are several grains of truth in
he above statement. Farmers as a
'ule buy too much machinery and es-
socially is this true of self binders.
The cost of u binder, when the interest
IN the money invested and the wear
md tear of the machine is considered
n addition to it's original cost is very
arge and if man does not raise over
orty or fifty acres Of grain he can
hardly afford to pay it. In many in
tances it would pay two or three
armers who have small fields of grain
o unite in buying machine and
hen use it in common or where such
. plan is impracticable to hire a
machine. Then, too, if there
we're fewer machines it would pay en-
men to keep one, two, or
hree binders, and go around cutting
wheat by the acre just as men keep
machines to thresh grain
y the bushel.
TO immigrants looking for new
omes Stevens county presents very
nany advantages. Its soil is richand
Productive and is well adapted for
iversified farming. Cereals yield
and vegetables and fruits
hrive wonderfully with proper cult
ivation. Drainage is almost
erfect so that farmers here need
ot fear loss of crops by heavy and
rolonged rains. The soil and SUBJ
oil is such that sufficient amount
f moisture is always held to prevent
oss of crops by drouth. The most
avorable conditions possible exist for
took raising. Wild grasses grow in
rofusion and the Pomme de Terre
liver with it's system of tributary lakes
FINISHES an abundance of water of Il
xcellent quality.
Land is cheap. The right of entry
pom government land can be bought
D. merely nominal prices. Railroad
sl 'N iung
.to Nv ~ ~" t"'' - .yerest and i'm
Ao'' ms can be bought at sur
'risingly low figures. The people
lere are of the best the East and the
I'D World can furnish. They are in
elligent refined and cultivated.
churches and schools are established:
verything is here that goes to make
p the civilization of the older states.
Iere, too, are competing lines of rail-
7ay, connecting the county with St.
PAUL, and Minneapolis and Duluth
he markets ofthe Northwest. Farm
rs located here are assured that at all
ines they will receive the highest
ossible figures for all they produce.
rom these facts it will be readily
cen that immigrants Or others who
)cate here will find cheap and valu-
BILE lands and all the advantages of
ny place in the West but will not be
allied upon to suffer any of the pri-
ations of pioneer life. In short here
ley will find all of the advantages oil
lie West coupled with those of the
,ast.
