Northern wisconsin.

The low prices at which land can be
had and the easy terms which it can be
purchased are attracting the attention
OF many men of small means to North
ern Wisconsin. But there are some
other advantages not always under
stood. There are very few tracts
on which one will not find timber
enough to support the family while
opening up the farm, furnish lumber
for fences and building, pay for the
land and furnish fire-wood for an in
definite length of time. This sounds
rather large. but it is as true as gospel.
A man may come who, after paying
freight has not dollar left to begin
life with. He can go to his wild land,
cut cord of wood, peel a cord of bark
or cut few logs, according to the
season of the year, haul to town and
sell. His income begins right there.
We have known many who had no
money on hand to start with, but sup
ported the family, opened up the farm
and stocked it without opening an &C
count anywhere. Every days work in
cutting off in clearing the land can be
convertedinto cash by selling the logs
and bark. Crops in Northern Wiscon-
stu are sure to give fair yield every,
year, and as a rule crops are heavy.
| While the grass is prolific everywhere,
rye, oats, peas, barley and wheat very
rarely fail, potatoes are always good,
and often very heavy crop. If proper
selection of seed be made, corn does
we'll. There is no better milk and but
ter region in the United States, for
either quality or quantity. Neither is
there any region where horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs or goats will do better
than in Northern Wisconsin. Water
his abundant aud good. Soil is prolific
and durable. Roads are being con-
Instantly built in every direction, and
| close attention is given to their main
tenance. Land here is good invest
ment in itself considered because of it's
/ constant increase in value. Now is the
| time for the man who wants a good
home at low cost.-Phillips Bee.
