From the beginning he will be able to
make good living and will receive for the
wood and other products taken from the
land in clearing it, more than he could
earn by the labor of his hands in any other
pursuit.
In the winter time the new settler in
Marathon County can be at work, getting
out cord wood, bark, ties, pulp wood, or logs
for lumber, or at wors in the near by lumber
camps or saw mills at good wages. Recently.
the prevailing prices in this county were
For maple cord wood, from So 80 to $500
per cord for birch cord wood, from So 90 to
81 so per cord for Eastwood excelsior bolts,
3 feet long, per cord of SO cubic feet, So 30
purposes, 5 feet long, per cord or 100 cubic
feet, $3.50; hemlock pulp wood, 1880 to
mixed woods, partially decayed, used for
brick making and such purposes was 1926
per cord. There is an abundance of the
foregoing timber on nearly all the hardwood
lands in the county, even where the saw log
timber has been removed, and on this land
there is abundant timber for building
Year in and year out, Marathon County
farms will produce a heavier and better
average of crops than any land in Illinois,
Iowa or Southern Minnesota There has
never been a crop failure of any of the
staple crops of Marathon County No
droughts nor grasshoppers to destroy crops.
There has never been a winter when the
grass or winter grain was killed. No resi-
dent of Marathon County has ever been lost
in blizzard, and no Marathon County man
has ever been compelled to sell his stock
because of lack of water or grass.
Marathon County invites the honest
homeseeker, and promises him good home
in good country and among good people.
1t is the largest county in the state, the
area being 1894 $50 acres, thus considerably
larger than the state of Rhode Island
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1913-09-02

The best crops are hay, oats, rye and
barley
Oats produce from forty to sixty bushels
per acre, and the yield per acre of other
grains is fully equal to the richest part of
Wisconsin and Illinois.
Very much of the high reputation which
Northern Wisconsin has for grasses is due
to the productiveness of Marathon County.
Glover is indigenous to this soil, it works
in naturally and white clover is found along
the sides of the roads, in all the pastures
and old meadows, and in open places in the
forests. Marathon County is great clover
county. 1t is the custom of farmers to cut
two crops of hay each year on the cultivated
land, and the second crop is nearly as good
as the first
Alfalfa is being introduced and is grown
successfully.
Two tons of hay to the acre is the rule
where the land has received ordinary care.
Peas, beans, potatoes, and other vege-
tables, are produced in great abundance
Flint corn is successfully grown in all
parts of the county and dent corn is being
rapidly aclimated.
Apple orchards have been planted, and it
is found that the finest favored apples can
be raised here in abundance. Small fruits
grow abundantly. A state experimental
orchard, established near Wausau about
ten years ago, has clearly demonstrated
that this climate is favorable to apple
culture. In 1911 this orchard yielded ], $50
bushels of apples. This orchard has pro
duced as high as 8, 900 bushels.
Plums and cherries are native trees, and
thrifty and hearty
Winter wheat, rye and grass never winter
kill in Marathon County.
Marathon County products have taken
first prize at the Wisconsin State Fair every
year that the county has competed. There
can be no more conclusive evidence than
this OF good agricultural conditions.

Colby Loomy Clay

This type of soil extends across Marathon
County from north to south Immediately
west of the Marathon Loan and also occurs
on the northern border 1t is a loamy clay
soil with very little stone, and has gently
rolling, well-drained surface. The Colby
Loamy Clay is deep, fne-textured soil
which makes productive, durable lands.
Practically all of it can be utilized for farm
crops of every kind suited to the Northwest
and this area promises to equalthe richest
agricultural sections of the Great Lakes
region.

Amherst SANDY Loan,

A marrow arm of this soil projects into
Marathon County from the south, between
the Chelsea Clay Loan and Marathon Loan
areas. The surface is rolling and the soil of
warm, easily titled type. Potatoes and
dairy products are the principal farm
produce on this area, and the quality of the
potatoes is especially good.
In describing the surface feature of
Central and Northern Wisconsin, Hilbert
Roth, special agent of the United States
Department of Agriculture, a disinterested
man, and at that time in the employ of the
United States Government, gives Marathon
County a much smaller percentage of poor
farm land than any other county in the
entire district covered BY his report, and
also gives it very small PERCENTAGE of
swamp land. -

Eaey to Catch : Beau.

The Tyroleans and Austrians have
many superstitions and it is curious
fact that often high and low believe in
the same old yarn with equal sincerity.
Tyrolean folklore pays abundant at
tention to girls signing for another's
beau or for beau personally unknown
to her; according to superstition they
are comparatively easy to catch. And
here is the recipe:
Get a wheel with an iron hoop and
bind to the seventh spoke a little bird
named why-neck. Secure the wheel In
the ordinary way and turn 1t. singing:
Il will get him even If he struggles as
hard as the why" The more the bird
struggles the more honor in securing
the mans affection.

The Climate

The climate of Marathon County is mild
The timber is itself protection. Our posi-
ton in the center of the state saves us from
the cold damp winds of the lake region.
The weather in winter is keen and bracing,
and the summer heat is moderate. The
storms of winter are not severe, and there
is much lighter rain fall in the winter
months than any other season of the year.

ports of the Argentine. will tan
leather at least three times as fast
as the bark Of the oak or the he.nlock,
and in less than ten years fortunes

annually. The growth of the tree is

that a thousand years is required to

WHY YOU SHOULD COME TO
MARATHON COUNTY,

HE man of small means will find
Marathon County a desirable
place to build home. With a
very little capital he can pur-
chase a tract of wild land on
time at low rate of interest,
and in few years, with reason
able industry, he will have
large clearing, and good home.

Chelsea Clay Loan

This is clay loan soil. found along the
eastern border of the county 1t is lighter
and more porus than the Colby Loamy Clay.
The surface is somewhat hilly with many
small lakes and ponds in the depressions
Originally occupied by dense hardwood and
hemlock forests, this soil where cleared is
producing good crops of grain, grass, corn
ard potatoes. 1t is better adapted to dairy
ing than to any other type of agriculture.
