A. F.. Proudht. of the firm Of ProuaAt

The advantages of north central Wisconsin
as location for parties seeking lands for
actual settlement or for investment have been.
demonstrated by the experience Of people al
ready located in that region We wish to call
particular attention to Taylor county and to
all the advantages of soil that can be found
IN that part OF the state. almost all crops
are raised here that are found elsewhere
within the state; abundant grasses, fine grains
and vegetables, excellent corn and, in fact.
almost all crops and fruits susceptible of cul-
ti7ation anywhere in Wisconsin. The soil is
a rich loamy clay, and it's fertility is practi-
cally inexhaustible. The abundant grasses in
sure success to all who engage in stockrais-
ing and dairying, and as the. country gets
older it will take rank with the leading butter
and cheese sections of the United States. A
number of creameries and cheese factories are
now ill operation in the vicinity of Medford,
near where our lands situated, and in all
instances they have proven satisfactory in
vestment to the operators and great benefit
to the farmers in the adjacent territory The
latter are already increasing their herds and
as the grasses are very nutritious, successful
revenues have already been derived from the
dairy interests. Sheep are also being raised
with much success, and on the low-priced

G. W.. somers, 507 Manhattan building,
St. Paul. predicts that northern Wiscon-
sin will become the great dairy region
of the United States. He says:
consider northern Wisconsin, above the
500 line, destined to become one of the fin
est diversified farming countries in the
United States. The lakes, streams and for
ests assure plenty of moisture; and any one
travelling through the country and talking
to the farmers will be agreeably surprised
at not hearing of this or that year referred
to as bad year or failure. They don't
have failures in the timber The fuel ques-
ton, that is such a problem to the prairie
farmer, is easily solved in the timber. The
soil may not look so good as the heavy black
muck, but it produces the crops, which is
the main point But the real advantages
gained in this country are the natural grasses.
it is the home of blue Joint and red-top.
Clover grows to the highest perfection. Wher-
ever the brush and timber is cleared just a
little grasses Of all kinds come In Immediate
~ and forage for all kinds of stock is plenti-
full. The country is dotted with creameries;
good roads are being built; lands are selling
at about one-half of their real value, and
any man who is willing to work can get a
good, substantial home, even with just a
little money. The next ten years will I'M
doubtedly see this country rapidly devel-
oped, and values will double many times.
For an investment, for home, northern
Wisconsin is surely the place for the wise
man to locate. All of the counties have
good lands, and several of them are even now
well settled communities

Central and Northern Wisconsin is put
down in the charts of experts who have
thoroughly Investigated that region in
the past five years as the coming dairy
region Of the United States. The prog
gress made in dairy farming in some Of
the newly settled sections promises much
for Wisconsin as dairy state and for
the pocketbooks of Wisconsin dairy farm
ers. immigration men also interested in
peopling the prairie lands of the north
west believe that from now on Wisconsin
lands will attract immigration and in
vestors from every direction.
There is an opportunity now to pur-
chase at reasonable price Wisconsin
lands which are exceedingly well adapted
to diversified farming and will also grow
fine crops Of grain including corn No part
more than this region. The water is the
very best and the timber furnishes
shelter. Lumber for barns, sheds, and
other farm improvements is plentiful and
cheap. While the feeding season for stock
is longer than on the prairies, it has been
demonstrated that the actual expense con-
nected with raising cattle is less than in
the Dakotas.

the Chippewa river and its larger tribu-

abound in fish and speak of ample moisture,
while the character of the forest trees alone
prove the fertility of the soil.

Fell on Bank Street and Broke Roth
 Bones of Right Leg.
 Donate Meo. the well known bar Der, met with a serious and painful accident on Bank street at noon to- day. MT Meo was walking on the crossing that runs from the west side of Bank street to the sidewalk oppo- Site the Apothecaries' Hall building. and seeing trolley car bearing down on him he braced up and stepped across the rails at a lively pace. In so doing he slipped and fell, breaking both bones of his right leg about two inches above the ankle He was car ried into the Waterbury Drug store better known probably as Leavenworth & Dlkeman's, where Dr Ballard ban daged up the injured limb. after which ne was taken to his home on Spring street in Lunny's ambulance. The walk was in good condition at the time and it is thought that in his haste to get out of the way of the car Mir Mao must have stepped little to one side of the crossing and got onto the ice. The injury was painful and MT Meo wept so bitterly that many thought the trolley car had passed over his limbs. A big crowd collected about the place. causing Sergeant Blakeley considerable trouble keeping them put of the way.
