An Iowa Farm Not in Iowa

There is a beautiful farm, located,
not in Iowa but near it, that is in a
class with Iowa's finest and best,
and that merits just now the atten-
ton of every homeseeker in the
land.
1t is four and half miles from
st. Peter, busy southern Minneso-
ia city of 5000 people, and coun-
ty seat of Nicollet County.
Nicollet County actually surpass-
es many of our very best counties
in all round grain production. Corn,
for example, in Story County, Iowa,
which is one of our banner counties,
made an average yield of 1876 bush
els per acre in 1909, which was To-
was banner year; but in the same
year, Nicollet County, Minnesota,
yielded an average of 1913 bushels
per acre.
From st. Peter to this farm the
road is graveled all the way. 1t is
on rural mail route, has tele-
phone, and the distance tn school is
one half mile. 1t is in a rich COM
munity, and surrounded by highly
improved farms
1t consists of 230 acres of deep,
rich, black loan, over clay subsol.
1t has a beautiful lay, being almost
smooth, but having excellent natural
drainage.
All buildings are in good repair.
There is a good eight-room house,
big barn 40x60, plenty of out
buildings, windmill, cement tanks,
etc.
1t is in a neighborhood where
land is selling for $100 to $115 per
acre, and rising very fast, owing
to its splendid quality. But this
farm can be bought for $3.50 per
acre, and the cash required is only
about $4,000, balance in yearly
payments if desired.

Rich Prairie Nearly Gone

The rich, gently-rolling prairie,
out OF which northern Iowa and
southern Minnesota were formed,
has vanished. In its place today are
tens of thousands of the most fer
tile, beautiful, and highly improved
farms of the great Midwest.
One of the very few excellent
pieces of it still left unimproved, is
an eighty acre tract near LIE Sueur
in the best part of southern Mimi
esota. 1t is the richest, blacklist,
loan, and every foot of it is pillow
land, sixty acres now being under
cultivation. Only a few miles away,
improved farms are now selling at
$50 to $1l5 and swiftly rising Yet
it is absolutely as good as they;
and it can be bought just now at
$42.5O with cash payment of
$4,000, and three years time on the
balance.
1t is certain that this eighty will
double in value within a few years.
1t is an IDEAL small investment,
where idle money will grow steadily
and surely.

Iowa Farm Bargain near Market

This farm. which consists of l54
acres is in Palo Alto County, and
lies just one half mile from small
railroad town with bank, three ele-
vators, school, creamery, lumber
yard, etc.
1t is in the northern part of the
state, in a section which grows ex-
cellent crops, lis unusually prosper
Gus, and in which the price of land
is advancing very rapidly. Accord
ing to the government census re-
port, the average value per acre of
improved farms throughout Palo
Alto County more than doubled be-
tween 1900 and 1910, and at the
present time the value of the better
class of improved farms close to
town, to which this farm belongs,
is from 500 up. some of them be-
ing held considerably higher than
this.
This farm is in a splendid neigh
borhood of mixed nationalities. 1t
is a rich black loan, containing a
small amount of sand, which makes
it a warm, quick-growing soil, and
very productive.
1t is a beautiful farm, smooth,
and nearly level, but with just slope
enough for tile drainage, and near
ly all of it has been tiled. More
than 125 acres are drained perfect
ly in this way The remainder,
which does not really need it, is
now in tame hay, SO that it is all
tillable, and all in cultivation.
The buildings are in good average
condition. They include a residence
16x24, one and a half stories high
with one story addition 16x24;
barn 40x40 with 16foot posts;
corn crib and granary 30x3O; a
poultry house 12x14, etc. There
is a good well with windmill 1t is
all fenced and oross-fenced, and
there is a grove and some fruit.
1t is a place of many advantages.
1t is close to market, to school, and
to creamery. 1t has fertile, black,
quick soil. 1t has perfect lay
and is we'll tiled. 1t has good build
ings in as good condition as those
on the average farm 1t is a desira-
BILE farm in every respect, and it is
offered at much less than its real
value.
The price is $3.50 per acre. 1t
will carry mortgage loan of $55
or more per acre, OR about $4,000.
The balance of $4,S75 is asked in
cash.

Farm Adjoining Prosperous Village

One of the greatest farm bargains
in the entire Middle West is a 600
acre farm, located in Nicollet Coun-
ty, in southern Minnesota, and adj
joining a village of mostly German
people on the C. & N. w. R. r.
About 500 acres of it are tillable,
the balance being timber pasture.
All of it slopes gently to the south
ward. More than eighty per cent
of the farm is rich black loan,
the remainder shading to a rich,
sandy loan.
There are three good dwellings
on the farm, all with stoned cellars.
The principal one is 16x24 feet,
with wings 16x16 and 12x16. Other
buildings are cow barn 26x80,
a silo 16x20, horse barn 4Ox40, cat
tie shed 26x go, meal room 12x16,
machine shed, hog house, two corn
cribs, milk house, etc.
The farm has never had failure
of corn crops. A big herd of dairy
COWS is kept upon it, and as rule
several cars of cattle are fed on it
every winter.
1t is highly productive farm, and
the location is ideal. 1t is worth,
according to prices of surrounding
lands, from $S5 to 500 per acre.
But the owner is very wealthy
man, living in California, who Of
fers it at$72.50 per acre. He asks
any reasonable cash payment to in
sure that the place is sold, and will
give easy terms on balance.

Can You Judge a Farm?

If you are a good judge of land,
as most Iowans are, l want you to
weigh this quarter section farm
carefully, and decide what, in your
own personal judgment it is actu-
ally worth.
1t is located in one of the best
counties of southern Minnesota, "a
bout twenty miles from the Iowa
line, and nearly north of Mason
City. 1t is two miles from one rail-
road station, three miles from an
other, and four miles from third.
1t is surrounded by splendidly i'm
proved farms, is forty rods from
school, and is on rural mail route
and telephone line.
1t lies from level to gently rolling
with excellent drainage There is
NO waste land on it. Every foot
is tillable. The soil is fine, rich,
black loan, as fertile as Iowa's best.
Last years corn crop averaged fiji
ty bushels per acre, oats forty bush
els, and barley twenty bushels. ALI
crops We're injured by the drouth,
but you may compare it with Iowa's
best years if you choose. 1t has
always been we'll stocked, and the
soil is in a high state of fertility.
The improvements are worth at
least $4,000. There is a good
house, a big barn 32x6O with lean
to on both sides, good granary, corn
cribs, hog house, poultry house, etc.
1t is fenced and cross-fenced. There
is a good orchard with plenty of
small fruit.
Note the proximity of markets,
rich soil and big crops of small
grain as we'll as corn, the total alb
sence of waste land, and the excel
lent improvements. The fact is of
course that Iowa farms with not all
of these advantages are selling
commonly nowadays at $3.50 to 5000
per acre.
WHAT is 1T WORTH? Decide
for yourself.
l can sell it at SIS per acre on
the following terms: $1,000 down,
$4,000 next March, and balance
carried on farm at five per cent
