ter, like Switzeriand's fair valleys in the
summer, with cool and invigorating nights.
The waters here are the finest in the
world and free from all vegetable matter
Here the farmer finds high price fer every

This beautiful land is at
Deming. New Mexico.
Demingis town in Southern Now Mexico
situated in the Members Valley at the juno
ton of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific railro ads and the Dem
ing & Silver City railroads. Deming is a
town of about 2500 Inhabitants. The society
is the best, and composed of eastern, north
ern and southern families. The schools and
churches will compare favorably with the
northern and southern towns of the same
size. These lands are of but little value
when not irrigated, but when under proper
irrigation are worth from $500 to $500
per acre. For farming purposes they
will pay annually 500 per acre and
upw ards; in gardens from $500 to $1,000
per acre; in fruit from $500 to $500 per
acre. ~.
The Deming Land and Water company
of Deming, New Mexico, after years of
labor and the expenditure of large fortunes,
have succeeded in putting the town of
Deming and surrounding valley under irri-
cation, thus opening up for the habitation
of man the richest, most beautiful and
healthful country between the seas.
These lands will be opened for settlers by
the middle Of July. A farmer don't require
a large farm in this country, /, 10, Is. 80
or so acres is ample. A man hav-
ing only five acres close to town
enjoys the town and school advan
tages, besides living like lord of the soil,
amid all the Injuries of sub-tropical gar
den, and should put aside to the good every
year from $500 to $4,000.
The Deming Land and Water company
are DESTROYS of settling their lands with the
best families from the North, South and
East, and to desirable persons they will sell
for short time these choice farming and
garden spots for 800 to $500 per acre.
These lands can be bought on easy pay
ments. The company, in a few cases, will
sell these valuable lands to actual settlers
at the lowest minimum prices and take in
exchange their property. They are satis
fed that every settler will induce others to
come, and that these lands will soon be
worth thousands per acre, and this valley
become land of villas, rich, luxurious and
beautiful in winter and summer alike.
There has never been such an offer to
those desiring rich, beautiful and profitable
homes, in a climate which is always delight
full, and ia its standard of health the high
est of any section On the western hemis-
phere. 49,
A country where crops never fail; where
they have neither drought, flood or early
frost; where there is always high priced
market for everything raised, country of
the purcst waters, exhaustless soil, and
cloudless skies, faultless air, in the centre
of the greatest mines in America, the great
est ranches of the globe, in touch with the
greatest forests of the West, at the best
railroad centre in the Southwest, and a
town destined to soon be great city, Sec
ond to none in the new West. Il. ~.
This is not only the choicest of lands for
farmers, gardeners and fruit growers, hut
for stock raising lit is paradise for cattle,
horses and sheep. For merchants: me chan-
les and artisans it is unexcelled.
DR.. II. C. Flower, of Boston, accom-
panied by several physicians and business
men, recently made an extended visit
through the West, Northwest and South
west, investigating the principal centers as
to climate, health, water and soil. The
unanimous conclusions of the distinguished
party are given by DR.. Flower as fol-
lows: 1--WE found the new West more
beautiful country than the old West, coun-
try generally speaking much richer in eli
mate, in soil, in waters, in timber, in
in stone, in stock, in opportunities,
than in the central. western, the southern
or eastern states. From Manitoba to Mexi-
co, along the ribbed valleys of the Rockies
are sections of the country richer in soil
than the valleys of the Gauges, the Jordan,
or the Rhine, or even the valley of the
Nile, when the river through her overflows
combines with Pharaoh Necho, through his
importations of concentrated land nutri-
tons, to make it the richest soil of the
world. @
1--WE visited several localities where asth-
ma and bronchial diseases could not
exist, where colds are unknown and
the nervousness of the worn ont
tired life speedily departs. We visit
ell half dozen places where the
" .ters would cure almost any kidney troub-
| But there was one place which seemed
to contain the good of all without any of the
objections. This place was Deming, New
Mexico, beautiful little town situated in
the Members valley-soil of the richest we
ever saw, which, when irrigated, would put
to shame the soil of the Mississippi, the
Missouri, the Ohio, or the Connecticut
valleys, where 10 acres will yield a
lager income than any 100 acres 10 the
North or South; climate equally as rich
in building up and curing consumptives, the
asthmaiic and nervous wreck; climate
where malaria does not exist and never can !;
in fact the most perfect and complete all the
year around country we have ever seen, and
when old age is slow in coming, and post
pones for years his visit to youth, and youth
carries bis frolicking ways, his strength his
smiles, and sings far into the evening
twilight of the sunset of life.
"After our extended investigation we are
a unit in saying that if we were to establish
colony with view to health, wealth, COM
fort and prosperity, we would say, fret,
last and every time to the old and to young,
20 to the Deming, New Mexico"
