winters far more agreeable.to stock
raising than the raw, chilly weather
ofthe central southern states.
DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Like many other counties in early
days wheat used to be the principal
crop, but as the county grows older
this has largely given away to diver
sifed farming, cattle, sheep and hog
raising, and no little attention is be-
ing paid to creameries, of which the
county has one in fourishing con-
dition with bright prospects of two
more being in operation in the near
future. The county also has cheese
factory and two -four mills.

county exceptional facilities for the

citizens take great pride in their

its age.
MANUFACTURING.
The one thing we lack most posi-
bly, is manufacturing industries, which
will no doubt come in time. Two

a creamery are in active operation
The creamery is the project of the
farmers, being owned; controlled and
operated by the farmers under the
cooperative system. 1t was started
year ago and has proved very
successful enterprise to the farmers
financially. Two other creamery
projects are being agitated at the
present time, one at Donnelly and
the other at Hancock, both nnder the
cooperative system, and promise to
materiahze very soon, a co-opera-
tive farmers elevator is also being
talked of, which, if built, will very

markets including lake and river
points, which places us in position
to take advantage and have choice Of
the most desirable in piece and .place.
An extended comment on this feature
is unnecessary further thln,to say it is
an absolute necessity that commun-
ity must possess these advantages in
order to have successful develop
ment of its resources. We have two
great trans continental lines of road,
the Great Northern and the Northern
pacific, traversing our county from
north to south and east to west, cen
tering at Morris the county seat. thus
affording unusually desirable trans
portation facilities. Both Of these
lines are vast systems, having direct
connection with the East and West,
and insures the lowest traffic rates
on produce, stock, merchandise and
machinery. These lines also traverse
the big timber region of the state and
supply this section with abundance of

water and transportation facilities,
and the abundance of raw material
available, would seemingly assure
success, and are at least deserving Of
inspection by those embarklng in
undertakings of this kind.
MARKETS.
The county is amply supplied with
markets, there being six trading
points and villages throughout the
county, all thriving and prosperous,
which gives the farmers in all of the
county market within easy reach.
There are twelve elevators located in
this county, with several others in adj

FACTS

facts which can be readily substan-

and have no 'Doom" ideas to tempt
our readers, la fact it is not neces-
sary for us to resort to any doubtful
methods, and our readers can rest as

sured that in claiming for the soil OF
this county rich productiveness that
may be equalled, but not excelled, we
state plain truth. Minnesotas eli
mate is we'll known as one of the pur-
est and healthiest, and nowhere in
this broad land can g more delightful
and invigoroating climate be found.
Our summers are hot, but always
tempered with cooling breezes.
Spring and autumn are always pleas
ant, especially so the latter, The
winters are cold, with light, snow falls,
but the weather is uniform, sharp,
bracing and invigoratiug, with clear,
bright and peculiar buoyant condition
of the air that makes it enjoyable
rather than otherwise. Our climate
is free from sudden changes of tenn
pature, the air is dry and bracing and
and free from dampness. We repeat
that with rich soil, good water, cheap
fuel, fine grazing, abundance of hay,
unexcelled marketing facilities, low
priced lands, intelligent people, wise
laws and reasonable taxes, we offer
strong inducements to those seeking

Another commendable word might
we'll be stated here. that the inhabi-

that word may rightly be stated here

practical farming experience on in
tended settlers. While thorough
knowledge of practical farming as in
vogue elsewhere is not absolutely es
sential before engaging in this pur-
suit in the West. vet it is of great adj
vantage, and all settlers and intended
farmers should have some practical
experience to be, more successful.
Farming cannot be carried on success
cessfully by everybody. The same
degree of care, Judgment, industry
and skill is necessary and essential
to success in this vocation as in any
other line of business. It is, never
theless, fact that farming on the
prairies is quiet and easy work com
pared with the laborious and tedious

gions, as here the soil is ready for the
pillow, and burrows as soon as made,
for the crop while hay and pasturages
are abundant, yet there is need of
work, care and judgment, and where
experience is added progress and
success are assured Practical farm
ers, and men with some ready means,
have no difficulty in making good
living and money, and this class of
men are the ones we wish TO see come
among us. We have no bonanza
farmers, nor do we wish to have any
among us. There are several large
farms, composed of a section or two
of land, but no bonanzas Of 10000 or
10000 acres.
Land can be bought at from IS to
$l5 per acre. The price depends on
distance from railroad station anil
quality Of soil, but on the latter point
there is scarcely any choice, as the
soil throughout the county is very
similar. Desirable lands on favorable
terms can be obtained now; probably
at present the opportunity is the
most favorable for investments, as the
present prospects of the most enorm-
GUS crops in the history of the county
will doubtless have a tendency to
raise prices in this vicinity.

Interesting to People, and Es-
pecially Home-Seekers.
Plain facts to Read and Care
fully Consider.

In placing before the readers and
home seekers the advantages and ia
cilities Of Stevens County, the home
of No. | hard wheat, We need not
draw on the vivid imaginations to
place before the home seekers section
of country equalled by few and ex-
celled by none in any part of the state.
1t is truthfully called "The Garden
Spot of Minnesota" The elevation
of Stevens county above the level of
the sea, being the dividing line OF the
waters running north and south, has
that effect OH the climate which pre-
vents the drouths and wet, aud makes
it the healthiest spot in the United
States.
THE COUNTY.
Is situated in the middle western part
of the state at the highest altitude,
which gives it many advantages over
any other locality. 1t has abundant
rainfall never too much), with cool
and invigorating breeze to temper the
summer heat. The climate is sucn as
10 insure rapid and vigorous growth
of crops and an early maturity, and
when combined with the soil found in
this county it is only just and fair to
claim that we excel any other portion
of the state,
THE SOIL.
Is Of inexhaustible fertility, being a
heavy, black loan, firm, warm and
easy of cultivation, supported by a
firm clay subsoil from four to six feet
deep. It's formation is peculiar, mas
much as it absorbs and retains mois-
ture in such manner that it is espec-
1ally successful in withstanding the
effects of either extreme drouths or
excessive rainfalls, and making either
impossible.
AGRICULTURE.
The position of Stevens county among
the great agricultural counties OF the
Northwest is as is we'll known like the
state Of Minnesota-second to none.
1t is among the most fourishing coun-
ties of the state and noted for its
superior agricultural developments.
A failure of crops is wholly unknown
in the county. The official statistics
of Stevens county show that the pro-
duct of the great staple, No. hard
wheat, equal many of the most favored
sections of the state and excels more,
while the average yield of oats, corn,
fax, barley, potatoes, etc., place it
among the most productive regions
of the entire Northwest. The yield
of wheat is from Is to 40 bushels per
acre and from 40 to Is bushels of
oats.
STOCK RAISING.
The county offers rare advantages for
stock raising. The best herds Of
blooded stock have been introduced
on an extensive scale, and has been
shown that this industry can be and
Is pursued successfully and to an adj
vantage in this county. With fav-
cradle climate, rich and productive
soil, Stevens county offers attractions
unequalled. The county is princi-
pally a rolling prairie, we'll drained,
studded with fine groves, watered by
streams and lakes and nearly all
