IN AND ABOUT STOCK YARDS.

The Cudahy Packing company, OF Kan
sas City bought on that market yester-
day 1,275 hogs that averaged 264 pounds
and cost 81 80. By reference to the prices
paid an-tiris market it viii he seen that
the market here was only about ~ cents
under the best Missouri river market The
shippers III the country are finding out
that nobody can afford to ship past this
market When freights are considered it
viii be seen that the packers here are
paying very high for their hogs. This is
all the evidence that anybody need want
that they can count ON fair treatment
here. The Wichita packers are not buying
= sho hogs as cheaply as they might, but
are paying good prices so as to induce
shippers to come here with their hogs. 1t
is pretty generally understood that the
railroads do not go out of their way to
accommodate Wichita interests, and the
only reason that the packers here can pay

ADVANTAGES, FINE WATER
POWER AND ABUNDANT RAW MATERIAL

T To write of Wisconsin is pleasure,
but to describe it in such way that
1.-The reader can form an accurate op1n-
ion of it's natural beauty and agricul-
Etural worth is hard task. L h
tG ! o b e considers it as tributary to st.
Paul, at least the western and north
fern portions, for our railway lines
reach out into these sections. It's mer-
Fchants are seen daily in our whole
| sale houses, and the products of the
Field, garden, orchard, forest, mine and
dairy of this splendid territory are seen
! in our markets.
To See the Country.
If one would see the country under
discussion in all of it's beauty let him
visit it in any of the spring, summer
or autumn months, when the vege-
! table kingdom is in all it's glory, when
the wild flowers and grasses and fruits
are at their sweetest, and when the
hunting and fishing season is at its
best, This would be glory for the
! pleasure seeker, but for him that is
looking for farm there would be pre-
scented other and far more attractive
features. He would see fields of ripen-
ing grain and grasses of large and sue
culent growth and immense yield. He
would see many things to convince
him of the desirability of the country
! for the homeseeker and investor.
Not From the Car Windows.
A car window is rarely good vantage
ground from which to gather anything
more than an occasional glimpse of the
country through which the train is
passing. This statement is true of
nearly every section of the country,
but nowhere is it truer than of North
ern Wisconsin. with it's alternating
! forests, prairie openings, lakes and
streams. To see the country under
standingly you must leave the train
and visit the towns and villages and
drive along the country roads, past the
farm houses and ranches, with which
the country is being dotted.

The Forests.

Northern Wisconsin is largely a
forested country. Much of the forest
is hardwood, comprising such varieties
as maple, birch, hemlock and in the
lower lands elm and Eastwood. Large
areas at one time grew struggling
pines of good size, with more or less
of frequency among the hardwood
trees. Other forests are of the grove
order. They are composed of small
trees, all or nearly all of the hard
wood varieties and they grow so close
ly that theSh crowd one another for exr
istence; and yet again are stretches
where pines only grow.
The Soil.
In Northern Wisconsin where the
forest is found, the land is admirably
adapted to the growth of a great var
iety of grains and grasses. This may
be taken for granted even though the
land should be viewed in the dead Of
winter. 1t may also be accepted as
true that the soil Is a clay or clay
loan, and that the subsoil is essen
TALLY clay in it's composition. Where
pine trees grow amid the hardwood
forest, the land Is always productive
and highly so when it comes to be
cropped. 1t also Is essentially clay
loan, with a clay subsoil.
The forest trees speak of soil well
adapted to small grains. The char
acter Of the soil was a guaranty of the
same, and so the settlers have found
1t to be. Winter rye can be depended
upon any season when it has been
properly sown, either for pasture or
for the grain. Wheat will grow very
we'll also, but there is not much neces-
sity for growing it in a country pre-
eninently adapted to dairying. 1t
would not be correct to say that this
region has, the same adaptation for
wheat culture as the prairies of the
Northwest, and yet there are no good
reasons why good crops may not be

To the Prairies.


In the settlement of the Northwest
nothing has >suspassed the observant
traveller than the persistence with
which intending settlers have passed
by much of the best farming country
on this continent, that they might
secure homes on the treeless and I'M
protected prairies of the far West. The
country thus referred to includes much
Of the land in Northeastern Minnesota
and Northern Wisconsin, except such
portions as may have produced only
pine timber Aa,
The only explanation that can be
furnished in the preference given to
the lands of the Westernpprairies is
found in the fact. that prairie lands
are virtually ready for the pillow,
whereas those in Northern Wisconsin
and Northern Minnesota are covered
with forest. This, at least, is true of
much of the land, although open
stretches are frequently found that are
without trees and that possess essen
TALLY the characteristics of prairie soil.
Advantages of Timber.
Those intending settlers lose sight of
the fact, first, that the timber ON much
of this land will pay and more than
pay for the clearing; second, that when
cleared Immediately it produces the
finest Of pasturage when properly
managed, so that it need not be plowed
until the stumps decay; third, that no
cyclones pass over it in summer nor
billiards. in winter; fourth. that be-
cause of the abundance and the
varied character of the food products
grown, no better country for live stock
can be found; and fifth, that from the
timber and trees now on the land,
buildings and fencing may be obtain
ed at but little expense other than the
labor involved in putting them up.
Surely such country where the land
is still cheap, should at least be looked
over before going further west by
those who are seeking homes.

away and fire has done its work in

bIush, than blue grass and white Glow
er springs UP like magic. and take pos
session of the land. Where they come
from SO quickly, nobody seems to
Ienow,sbut they come, and they come
to remain forever. If the birds and
the winds could speak, they would
probably tell us something about
whence they come. Their rapid growth
suggests the thought of spontaneous
generation, which is of course, i'm
possible. But their coming so quickly
and growing so luxuriantly calls up
the thought of the high adaptation of
the country to those grasses. Even in
flourish, where they must needs strug-
gle for the light. This abundant
growth not only furnishes fine pas
lures, permanent in character if desired,
but their presence is an assurance that
here is a land with high adaptation to
a great variety of crops. In such a
soil mixed pastures also permanent in
character, and containing many varie-
ties, can undoubtedly be grown, but
the need for these has not yet been
felt by the settlers.
A Stock Country.
The discerning settler sees at once
that he has come to land which has
ample rainfall or the trees could not
have grown; to land with a fertile
soil or those hardwood trees would not
have been so numerous; and to a land
that will forever provide it's own fuel,
fencing and protection, If the inhab-
itants plan things thus. on the prin-
ciple that what has been grown in a
country can be grown again. The
numerous streams with moving cur
rent and the sparkling lakes speak Of
ample moisture, and the character of
the growth that covered the soil gives
ample assurance that this land has

grown when desired, in all the years
to come. What has been said Of wheat
sawilL also equally apply to flax. Oats
and haErley grew in fine forms The
of~the pea crop and to the maturing
growth and maturing of oats and bar
ley, both of which are, or at least
ought to- e,-staple food crops in a
/ land with high adaptation for dairy
ing.--.4And--the~ @~permanency -oftheSe
crops is assured under a system of
judiciouS farming, since the fertility
of the soil can easily be maintained
through the growing of clover and
other legtfmes. The settler in the corn
belt can readily be made to assent to-
the proposition that clover and good
grasses may grow in, but he shakes his
head when he is told that good crops
of corn can be readily grown thus far
north And yet incredulous as it may
seem to him, or to any one else, it Is
true. So far it's growth Is largely in
fodder form, and an acres yield for
this purpose equals an acre grown in
what Is considered the corn belt
Root Crops.
The soil that produces the grain
crops just named is also we'll adapted
to the production of field roots. The
temperatures are not Ytoo warm in
summer for the growth of 'rutabaga
and the soil in hardwood timber areas
shows a higher adaptability for such
a purpose than the vegetable soils of
the prairies. Mangels,5 carrots and
sugar beets will respond admirably to
the efforts Of those who grow them
properly. All these are excellent for
dairy cows, except rutabagas, which
faint the milk. Thesel however. are
excellent for young cattle, and are no
less helpful in growing hogs.

When farm land in Illinois, Iowa and
Southern Wisconsin sells at from SIS
to $125 an acre. is it any wonder that
dairymen are looking for new loca-
tions, where land can be bought for a
mere fraction of these prices? North
ern Wisconsin has dairy lands that
cannot be surpassed anywhere i'm the
Middle West that can still be bought
dirt cheap"
The Future.
The atmospheric conditions which
since the days of squatter sovereignty
have made the people of the Northwest
the most enterprisng on earth, has also
a tendency to make them a class OF
fortune hunters in too much of a hurry
to wait for their fortunes TO ripen. AS
consequence we find our people fit
ting at the beck of every boomlet and
staying nowhere long enough for their
financial interest to take root for a
healthy growth. The history of the
whole Northwest has shown a regular
and certain increase in real estate
values that has seldom failed to bring
independence to those who had the
courage, judgment and self-control to
invest with wisdom and wait with
patience.
There was never a more promising
time in the history of real estate in
vestments than now to take hold Of
Wisconsin lands. Prices are moderate.
indeed very low compared with lands
farther west and farther from market.
The early bird will catch the worm in
these investments. The crop prospect
is good everywhere. and the predic-
ton that land will from now on rapidly
increase in price has a substantial
basis.
