Farms for the Million.

The marvellous development of the States
of Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Ne.
braska and Wyoming, within the last few
years has attracted attention in all parts of
the world. 1t is not necessary, however, to
search far for the causes of this wonderful
growth, for this entire region, which is
penetrated by The North Western Line,
teens with golden opportunities for enter
prising farmers, mechanics and laborers
who desire to better their condition. Here
are lands which combine all varieties
of soil, climate and physical feature that
render them most desirable for agriculture
or commerce. Rich rolling prairies, ca
pable of raising the finest quality of farm
products in luxurious abundance, can still
be secured at low prices and upon most lib
eral terms, and in many cases good pro.
ductive farms can be purchased for scarcely
more than the yearly rental many eastern
farmers are compelled to pay. Reaching
the principal cities and towns and the
richest and most productive farming dis
tricts of this favored region The North
