FARMING NOW A SCIENCE.
Grand Opportunity Offered You
By the Tallmadge=Buntin
Land Company

| Who have purchased three of the
largest ranches and other lands in
the heart of the Big Laramie River
Valley of Albany county, Wyoming,
which land is divided by the Big
and Little Laramie Rivers, and ex-
tends four miles east and west on
either side of the main line of the
Union Pacific Railroad, extending
twenty-five miles north-ward from
the city of Laramie, the stations of
Wyoming, Howell, Bosler and Lake
Cooper being on the property.
This land has been subdivided in
to 20, 40, 80, 100, 800 and $40 acre
farms. A large acreage is now
under canals, bitches and liberals,
having been irrigated for years for
the raising of hay, alfalfa and suf-
fcient grain to fatten the high grade
Hereford cattle, sheep, horses and
susceptible of irrigation from the
Big and Little Laramie rivers and
the reservoirs now being construct
ed by this Company. Later, no
doubt, portion will be irrigated by
flowing artesian wells and pumps.
This Company has also acquired a
large acreage of prairie land adjoin-
ing, which will be disposed of with
the irrigated lands, or separately,
for pasturage or dry farming, and
which hereafter may be brought
uuder some system of irrigation by
future purchasers. These farms
will be quickly settled, highly Guilt
waited and improved.
In acquiring this property we
have provided a great abundance of
water through the oldest direct
water rights from the Big and Little
Laramie rivers and their tributaries
and fortified ourselves and custom
ers by great storage reservoirs, in
order that there may never come a
time when this district will be short
of water for irrigation and other
purposes.
THE CITY OF LARAMIE.
Laramie is the second city in the
State and lies at the base of the
western slope of the Laramie Noun
tains. II has population of over
10000 inhabitants. 1t is the County
Seat of Albany county and the To-
cation of the State University, the
Agricultural College, the U. s..
Agricultural Station and the State
Fish Hatchery. 1t has two rail-
roads and is an important division
point of the great Union Pacific
Railroad, which has it's rolling
mills, round houses, machine shops
tie-preserving plant and feeding
and shipping stock yards located
here. With it's plaster mills, brick
plant and other industries, it is
rapidly becoming a manufacturing
center.
There is a wealth of vigor and
energy in the crystal clear air of
Wyoming that sets the pulses
bounding and makes man or
woman feel equal to any undertak-
ing. 1t is a State where strong men
are doing great things and getting
better results out of life because
they have, first of all, the blessing
of health, which they breathe in
with the pure air and sunshine of
the Valley, with its open-air life;
and second, because farm work is
lighter, results more certain and
success is sure.
THE SOIL.
The soil of the Big Laramie Val
ley is a chocolate loan, of great
depth and as mellow as an ash
heap, with clay sub-soil. In its
virgin state it produces rich grass,
and when farmed springs into the
most luxuriant life, converting the
country into a veritable garden.
The harvest under irrigation is an
absolute certainty. The land lies
perfectly smooth, with just enough
slope for irrigation purposes. There
is no 1eveling or syphoning neces-
Sary.
TOWN SITES.
The four town sites, Wyoming,
Howell, Bosler and Lake Cooper,
are sufficient distance from each
other to make good, live towns, be-
ing situated on the main line of the
Union Pacific, twenty to thirty
trains passing through each day.
Splendid service is assured. These
town sites are provided with good
depots, section houses, switches,
stock yards and every railroad ia
cility necessary.
These town sites have been plat
ted and special inducements will be
offered to those desiring to enter
business. Business or residence
lots will be sold at $50 cash for two
lots, and also entitle the holder to
free transportation from his home
and return, including hotel, livery,
sleeping and dining car service.
The next excursion will occur on
Tuesday, July 7, and all desiring to
go or to investigate this proposition
are requested to see the undersign-
ed for further particulars.
