| there are any good lands left can both
grazing and farming land be had as
easily as it can in this county today
Nearness to markets. schools and
churches, a fine climate where good
health prevails as rule. where the
lungs are filed with pure air, where
sleep is refreshing and the appetite is
always hearty for the man who works
out OF doors. These are some OF the
advantages of home in the so called
''hills". The life is not all work-a-day
either, for there is a great deal Of
sociability among the people and new
comers are welcomed and given the
right hand of fellowship. The children
grow up to be active and self re-
liant doing in early years work that
fits them for success in life afterwards
and teaches them habits Of industry
and the thrift that will make them
independent later on.
There are plenty of homesteads in
the western part of the county which
can be secured by filing on them under
the government land laws, and, by pur-
chasing one or more quarter sections
from the owners who have; the land
on the market, on. the easy terms
the poorest man in the rent
ingsstates can get a.title to farm.
There is plenty of land left now but
the settlement has gotten a start
and the best locations convenient to
market and to the towns along the
railway will not long be untaken.
There are good natural roads all
over the prairie, and the taxes are
light. The first crop on new breaking
will often more than pay for the price

rich buffalo grass. The poorest Ger

coal and the water. Coal can be had
for 1920 a ton at Medina, and with the
improved Ignite stoves now on the
market a warm and comfortable room
can be had in the coldest weather for
a moderate cost. Many of the Ger
mans still burn their home made fuel
that can be seen stacked up on end in
big slabs to dry, in most every barn.
yard; but the cheapness and advan-
tages Of the coal supply OF the state
will soon be seen in the increased use
of the native fuel by every family.
Water can be had almost any where
in the three western ranges of the
county by digging to an average depth
of 30 feet. Some of the best wells in
this part of the county are from 8 to
II feet deep and the use of gasoline
engine for pumping and distributing
the water tostock is not an unexpected

land at surprising rate. From two
to three crops of flax can be grown, in
succession when it is deemed advisable
to follow with wheat or other crops Of
of grain.
The sales Of this land now being
made are not all to the German far
mers or the small farmer who will cul-
tivate part Of the land and live on it,
but the experienced stock men from.
Iowa and other western states are.
buying in larger tracts for stock rails
ing purposes. These buyers have been
farmers and say they are tired of rails
ing grain alone for profit. The crops
are too uncertain and the prices low.
In the raiseng Of fat steer from the
calf, they see larger and more GER

GROWTH OF A TOWN
Something about the growth Of
Medina the natural trading point for
the western part of the county will be
Of interest. The figures that show
the business now being done in the
town are, first the railway receipts,
compared to what they were when the
chief business was the watering OF the
railway engines four years ago at the
company tank.
In 1897 the station business for the
company all told, did not exceed $500.
In 1898 it had leaped to $4,000 and in
1899 remained practically the same.
In 1900 the receipts for the shipment
of merchandise, stock and passenger
receipts for the station amounted to
over S22, 900, and so far, this year, are
over $4,000. Ii all the crops yield as
they now promise the business of the
Medina depot in 1901 will be over $780,
900. The old depot has been replaced
with new standard structure 2SxSO
it., there is large water tank oper-
ated by steam pump, stock yard
for 1000 head of cattle with feed racks
and water troughs and about two
miles of side track. There is also
private stock yard holding 1900 head
with weighing scale and branding
chute owned by Mr.. Dwyer.

a section house, and a siding at the
place. tits different now.
In the country north of Medina four
years ago there were about a half a
dozen ranchers with few head OF
stock and south of the track to the
county line there were not as many.
The ranchers did not pretend to grow
any crops and none Of the land was
cultivated except for an occasional
garden patch. The country was re-
garded by nearly every one as adapted
mostly for pasturage and no one want
ed to buy the land at any price and
pay taxes on it. The idea of farming
Sin the hills" as the three western
ranges of the county are called, was
considered preposterous..
It was known that the TeadOws
were plenty and that abundance Of
hay could be put up. The buffalo
grass grew thick on the.s prairie but
the annual prairie fires that swept
over the country, kept the range short
and aided evaporation in the spring.
The land was owned by the government
, and the Northern Pacific railway COM
pany and could be bought, when any
one wanted it, for from 75c toSl.25 an
acre. But the grass and the:hay were
practically free for ranchers and as no
one wanted to pay for what they did
not have to, the land tilingssand sales
were confined to the quarter sections
where there's was a natural spring of
flowing water, or to some occasional
piece that suited the fancy of the
rancher.
Now all this is changing rapidly
and land is going up in Iprice and
being bought by men who intend liv-
ing on it andlengage in ranching and
mixed farming,
The movement tOtake up the land
and farm it as the same should be, was
begun four years ago this spring by
the German Russians. They came
from South Dakota and from the
counties Of Mcintosh, Logan and EN-
mons and began settling in the south
western corner Of Stutsman county.
They built their sod houses and plast-

feature, Of the larger ranches, in the
future, while the universal windmill
now is seen on nearly every farm.
The last three years have shown
what the country in western Suits
man is good for and as people are
finding it out they are utilizing it by
cultivating portion Of the home
stead, planting large gardens, making
butter, selling eggs and poultry, put
ting in cattle, sheep, and horses, and
raising stock for the markets of
the country.
The buffalo knew good thing when
they ranged in countless herds over
this rolling prairie and fattened in
the rich valleys and along the long
sloping sides Of the hills. The buffalo
grass was the choice feed that made
the bison and deer haunt the prairie
as paradise; and that success in
raising and fattening domestic stock
is had, is not to be wondered at.
This great region Of country, now
shimmering under the light OF the
long days Of summer, and palpitating
under the growing influences Of nat
ure, will no longer be left to the un-
disturbed occupancy of the coyote and
the wild fowl. The land will be turn.
ed over by the plow Of the man who
has located a home for himself and
family and sees the certainty of a
competency for old age and comfort in
his middle life, in the richness of this
land which nature has endowed with
perennial growth of grass. This
grass is not to be found in any state in
such abundance and in no state where

will have living assured. He can
make butter and sell the small pro-
ducts of the farm in way of chickens,
eggs, pigs, and the garden. Every set
tier has big garden full Of the most
substantial vegetables. Potatoes, cab
bage, corn, tomatoes, beans, turnips,
cucumbers, currants, Dakota blue ber-
ries-making fine sauce-rutabagas,
peas etc., wholesome food that can be
raised in almost any quantity any sea-
son, with a little care. The south
slope of every farm yard is devoted to
the garden and in it the wives and
daughters Of the Germansettlers have
little flower patch. with some of the
old country favorites transplanted in
the new home and making a bright
spot in the farmyard landscape.
Many Of the hay,meadows contain
from 5 to so, and even 100 acres Of
land that is accumulated vegetable
mould from 2 to feet deep which, in
an ordinary season, can be farmed and
will yield enormously. Meadows that
have been cut for hay and pastured by
stock for some years until grown up
to weeds can be cultivated, and some
of the biggest fields of corn and millet
to be found in the county are in these
old lake beds and former duck ponds
this year. These meadows will also
yield big crops of alfalfa and bronze
grass and will help to settle the ques-
tion of the supply of feed without de-
pending on the wild hay.
Two of the greatest advantages Of
this region for the settler who is max
ing start are the cheapness of Ignite

prices that have advanced to $3.50,
S4.OO and $500 an acre within the last
six months and at which figures sales
are being made to the best class OF
stockmen from Iowa and other states
who see the value in the land, and to
actual settlers four ffths Of whom
have a half section. This they have
obtained by taking government land
and buying an adjoining quarter or
quarters. The terms are liberal and
as little cash is required down, the
sales are growing at a rate never
deemed possible three years ago.
From inquiries received it will not be
long before thej best ranges and land
will be taken.
While this region has been regarded
as essentially grazing or stock coun-
try, yet this year has proved that mix
ed farming will play an important
part in the occupations and profits Of
the settlers. There are many long
slopes and wide valleys that plow
has never touched. The new settlers
have this year broken up more or less
ground and have generally planted
it in flax, barley, wheat, oats, corn.
and other grain crops. These crops
are as fine as any grown in the east
ern and older settled part of the coun-
try where land is worth from $40 to Sls
an acre. The flax is specially good
crop, the bolls are large and we'll filed.
The speltz, barley and corn and all
feed crops are luxurient in their
growth. The hay is plenty both in
the sloughs or natural meadows, and
|aR the uplands. Speltz is a German

Of the land itself. Where in the ma
tion can such condition be found
elsewhere? The first crop of flax seen
on every field on which the sod was
turned over this summer, gives
promise Of going from IL to Is bushels
to the acre and more. This one crop
at S1.50 a bushel grown on one acre
will pay for that acre and two more
besides. 1t will lift the mortgage and
help the new settler to pay for his

The changes that haveOccurred and
the rapid settlement that has been
made in the last four years in the
western part of Stutsman county will
surprise any one not acquainted with
the facts. The town of Medina has
grown from a lonely station where
little or no business was transacted, to
a thriving trading center for a large
scope of country. -Four years ago the
railroad company had water tank,
