Raises Hogs and Corn.

Ed L. Saxon, who in the spring Of
1900 bought 100 acres of land on Sec
ton 20 in the township of Princeton, a
short distance north of the village of
Princeton, gives very fattering re-
port of his experience in farming in
that section. He paid $12 per acre for
the land and he says that after having
lived on the land three years and made
many substantial improvements on the
farm, he values his land at an even $40
per acre. His farm consists of 100
acres of tillable land, much of which
he has cleared up himself, and there
are thirty acres of meadow land. The
land on his farm is that sandy clay
loan that you have heard so much
about and which, to an outsider, looks
anything but promising, but it's the
land for productiveness and will wear

Will Land Values Continue to Rise.
The population of the United States
is increasing at the rate of 1000 daily.
We are growing at the rate of nearly
100000 year. We have doubled in
every 40 years of our history Inside
of another fifty years we will have 15o-
100000. Where are they going? Are
we sending them away Are they en-
migrating to other land? No, we are TAX
ing care of them at home. Where is this
extra million and a half year going?
Where else but into the new lands of
the Northwest, where land is cheap
where the fertile soil, health
tul climate and transportation facil-
tiles are good and market condi-
tons favorable to human energy and
enterprise so abundant and ready to
hand in the west What else can this
population do? Where else can they go?
The cities cannot absorb the 100000
increase of the next thirty years. The
bulk of the population must be engaged
in productive occupations. They must
be at work providing that great and
fundamental necessity of mankind
everywhere for subsistence. The
great absorbing industry, the most i'm
portant from practical, material stand
point, is the production of food, and food
comes from soil. The cities flourish and
prosper and Our civilization is enduring
only what the vast majority of the peo-
pie are on the soil, toi1ing by the sweat
of their brow to produce food, on the
one hand, and the raw material for
manufacture on the other. The bulk OF
this 100000 increase in population
must go to the soil, and they pour into
the Northwest as naturally as water
flows down hill. This population move
ment into the Northwest is as normal
and natural as the fact that water seeks
level. The population has been pour
ing into South Dakota, North Dakota
and Minnesota during the past three

MINNESOTA LANDS.
Values Will Level Up With Pres
ent Values of Iowa and Illinois
Lands.

The Minneapolis Journal in an arti-
Gle discussing the prospective values OF
lands in Minnesota and North Dakota,
has this to say OF the prospects in Min
nesota:
AS for Minnesota, large part of the
state is sparsely settled and very con-
siderable areas are not settled at all.
The state gained 10000 people be-
tween 1890 and 1900, or hundred
thousand more than the entire present
population of North Dakota. It will
add as many more people during the
present decade. In 1910 Minnesota will
be approaching the 100000 population
mark. Most of this increase will go
into the sparsely settled west, north and
northwest of the state. This means the
rapid RELOCATION to ancient history of
SIS to $40 prairie lands and a fond
goodbye to timber land prices under
$40. 1t means that the older portions
of Minnesota will see land values level
up Will lIOSC VI Iowa d1lu 1ll1uO1S TO-
day, while the newer portions will be
worth what southern Minnesota lands
bring today.
In the census year, the average Min
nesota farm was worth 5000 and
yielded an income of $827; in the same
year the average North Dakota farm
was worth 1884 and yielded an in
come of SLIGO. The average of the
North Dakota farm was 1920 acres,
and that of the average Minnesota farm
1867 acres. Incomes of 16 and 20 per
cent are not bad.
There can be no doubt that land val
ues in both states will steadily increase
in value. The people are coming, there
is room in plenty They will do the
land good and the land will do them

potatoes that yield 200 bushels to the
acre, oats 50, and corn IS bushels. Mr..
Saxon says that he considers this Sec
ton splendid one for hogs, potatoes,
and oats, and also adds that it is as
good a corn country as he wants. He
raises from 60 to 70 acres of corn and
is quite an extensive hog raiser. hav-
ing at present time 70 head which he
is fattening for market Mr.. Saxon
has made some very substantial i'm
provements on his farm, consisting of
stables, granaries, hog houses, and also
a fine cooking house and machine
sheds, etc. Clover and red top can be
grown with great success on his land,
and he also says that the country is
good for small fruits.

The Tamarac Lands.

Where you find a ta1narac swamp do
not shun it or say the land is not fit
for anything. A tanarac swamp is one
of the best evidences of the richness Of
the soil. They are veritable bowls of
fertility and are mines of wealth = to
the land and the settler who inhabits it.
The tamarac and wet lands Of today
will in the near future prove to be the
richest of all lands. Underneath them
is the hard strata Of clay that will hold
the fertility and moisture OF the soil.

Springfield now has population of

Mr.. Brown visited at the home of Mrs.
Hugh Scallon-she being a sister of
Mrs. Brown. He had been in Chicago
where he marketed cattle to the value
of $1,000. In the past ten months he
has sold live stock to the value of $20,-

head on the ranch.
Twenty-siX years ago he left Ackley
without a dollar. This is progress.

CADET LIFE AT WEST POINT.

| The young men who are appointed
from the various congressional dis

a very active life at that national mil

rigid discipline are the conspicuous
features of life there, as shown by a
book just issued by II. Irving Hancock,
who makes thorough presentation CT
the work of the cadet and the purposes
of the academy that is of special inter

He shows US the experiences of e
