As an indication of what can be done
IN northern Wisconsin by men Of small
means the personal testimony of two such
men quoted below is in point. These
men bought wild land moved upon it
with their families and not only made a
living. but cleared their farms and be
came independent, prosperous farmers 1t
should be remembered that there are
thousands Of such farmers in the north
ern part of the state and that % per
cent. Of them had little or nothing whcn
they sought homes in the new Wisconsin.
Many of them had Il hard time, it is true
and were forced 10 practice the strictcst
economy in order 10 make ends meet.
Some Of them worked a part Of time in
lumber camps or in the mills and fac
tories 10 earn money with which to buy
necessities of life. In the early days
there was no market for forest products;
now everything found on the land can be
sold. The hgmebuilders in some counties
are even beginning 10 sell pine stumps for
fuel.

In the old days the homebuillcr was
forced TO seek work away from home 10
earn money 10 live on while he cut down,
piled and burned the very timber which
today brings him enough money 10 pay
for his land and, in many cases, for
clearing it also. The following letters.
written in 1900 tell their own story, and
they could Ice supplemented by hundreds
of others relating similar experiences and
equally gratifying success. Here is the
