of HARDWOOD TIMBER and
timber LAND to Choose From.

No better or richer soil is to be had
Der lands of Polk, Barron and Gates
counties Wisconsin, and when these
lands are cleared up and in shape they
will easily be worth from $50 to $75
per acre. Many Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota and Indiana farmers
who are making money on no better
but higher priced lands are seeking
investment in this section of the coun-
try, recognizing the fine quality and
great productiveness of these timber
lands. Chicago and other capitalists
are buying large tracts for stock rails
ing and find it very paying invest
ment
1t is wonderful country; fine
tirasses-the abundance of timothy,
clover blue grass, red top, and many
other varieties must be seen to be
fully appreciated. This, in connec-
tion with the easy access to the finest
kind of water, makes this country es-
pecially adapted for stock raising and
dairy farming.
Adjoining the lands there are many
creameries doing big and prosper
Gus business. This fact speaks for
itself, For winter forage the farmer
can provide an abundance of clover
and timothy hay, wild hay from the
natural meadows, pea straw. oat
straw, root crops, such as mangles,
turuips, rutabagas, beets, and ensli-
age, from corn and clover, giving
him a large variety of winter feed,
equal in quality to that found any
where in the south or west, and in
quantity it is limited only by the am
bition of the farmer in producing it.
Oats and barley return a sure crop of
fine grain, and the yield of peas is ex-
tremely large and valuable for
dairy food, and, being near to good
cities and villages, no difficulty is
experienced in procuring bran and
shorts to supplement the grains grown
on the farm.
The fuel question, need give the set
tier here no anxiety for many years
to come. With his growing timber he
not only has an ample supply for his
own use, but is afforded a steady in
Gomez from the cordwood, logs and
lumber he will have for sale as he
clears his land.
