a rich, black loan, from Pa to 4 feet

not vary in the least, every acre here
is tillable land. This portion of Min

corn crops here is unknown.

Central Minnesota is the best stu
ated country in the northwest. 1t is
tributary to the Great Lakes as well as
the twin cities, and is within reason
able distance from Chicago. At Min
neapolis are located the greatest -four
terminal elevators, is an excellent grain
market, and st. Paul is one of the best
stock markets. @
The prices of farms in Stearns coun-
ty range from 500 to $40 an acre. Farms
with the very best soil and location
can be purchased at from $40 to. $50
an acre: w here the price is higher
than this it is on accou int of valuable
buildings, or an especially fine location.
:. These lands are in both prairie and
timber districts. They are all in we'll
settled and thoroly established sections
OF the various counties and are all near
good railroad markets, where there are
churches and other advantages, which
can only be enjoyed in well-org anized
communities. In the timber districts
the farms have choice tracts Of maple,
oak, elm, Eastwood, poplar and other
timber on them, and it is difficult for
one to imagine a more pleasant place
in which to make a home On the prai-
RES RES one will find the usual grove about
the buildings.
Pine county.
Sixty miles long by thirty-six miles
wide, and comprising within it's borders
tract upwards of 100000 acres, Pine
county is the future home of large
agricultural community, and, the garden
from which the head of the lakes and
the mining region to the north must
ultimately draw the bulk Of their sup
plies Already the tide of immigration
IS flowing that way, and with the adj
vancement of the dairy industry the
land is being taken by class Of thrifty,
industrious farmers.
There is an impression that while
Pine county is wonderfully adapted to
the growth of clover, timothy and other
wild and tame grasses, as we'll as po-
tatoes and other vegetables, that these
are about the only productions of the
county. 1t may surprise some to learn
that this region is also especially adapt
ed to the growing, of all kinds Of Der
ries and small fruits. Just now in all
sections of the county farmers are going
into the cultivation of Strawberries,
raspberries, dewberries and blackber-
res, for all of which the markets are
the best to be had.
The berries from Pine county are a
little later than those grown farther
south and come into the twin cities and
Duluth and Superior at just the right
time to command high price-in fact
at least so per cent more than berries
grown in southern Minnesota, partly
due, no doubt, to the superior quality

to begin in a good, new district than

The whole trouble, it is said, is
with the new boss over the kilns He
arrived here from Long Island and
started to work at the factory short
time ago. Yesterday afternoon he
took three of the carriers of the kiln
gang and sent them to do laborers
work in the yard and, the men say,

The three men who had been re-
