New Farming Land In Washn. Co.

The new road from Whiting to Cut
Ter, eight miles in length, has opened
np country entirely new in its as
pect to anything in Washington coun-
ty. There are hundreds of acres of
the best meadow land to be found in
the state. The hay is of good quality
and is known as upland meadow. :"
K Is a sure crop year after year and
requires no dressing. Fully a thou
sand tons were left uncut last year
as hay was low and people in that
vicinity were not prepared to cut 1t
and press it for shipment The sec
tion through which the new road
passes has few settlers upon 1t so far,
but better chance for farming can
not be found in Washington county
than the upland and extensive mea-
dows afford.

and devoted husband and father
and the sympathy of IA large circle
of friends go out to his bercavcd
family in their deep sorrow.
