STUMP LAND IN WISCONSIN.

A friend writing to us from Wash
burn county, Wis, tells us that there
are thousands Of acres Of land in that
county which can be bought and clear
ed up at price not to exceed SIS per
acre and that these lands will grow the
finest of clover and timothy. AS we
understand it, these lands are cut off
pine lands. and we do not see how
such land can be cleared in the sense
that the stumps are removed and the
land made fit for the pillow for any
such money. We suppose that the
clearing simply means the removal of
the timber growth and then wait for
the stumps to rot out. Still. if the
tame grasses will grow, such land can
be pastured and reclaimed in a very
few years.

FARMS FoR HARD WORKERS.


For the benefit OF poor men seeking a
farm and home we are requested to
say that the timbered sections of north
ern and central Minnesota and Wis
consin offer special advantages. 1t
may be said of this territory that the
tame grasses-timothy, clover and al
falfa-do exceedingly well, that the
rainfall is ample, that lumber is very
cheap that markets are near by and Of
the best, that the land is cheap-from
$40 to $25 per acre; that a man will
have his own fuel supply for many
years and will have a-plenty of back
breaking work to dig out his farm, for
pine stumps last long and wear well.
1t is not prairie land proposition by a
long shot, yet still has many compen-
sations and is worth looking up by the
poor man in search of farm.

A friend writes us from north CEN

plenty Of land there which will grow
the finest clover In the world which can
be bought today FOR $15 to $25 per acre
This fact should be- better known. for
where clover will do well there Short
horns may be raised. and where Short
horns are raised there is good and
very profitable type Of American agri-
culture.

A GOOD IDEA.

The summer farmers institute is a
feature which is coming into vogue In
many localities and has very much to
commend it. 1t is made a picnic occa-
sion. A brief programme is prepared,
the topics selected for discussion being
seasonable and practical. Two sessions
are held. one in the forenoon and one
in the afternoon. This is an idea worth
exploiting. for 1t combines the social
and educational in very pleasant
manner.
