Fortunes are awaiting those energetic
men who will bring bands of sheep
into Northern Minnesota to Craze on
the thousands Of acres of splendid
clover that every year grow and go to
waste. Not only will the sheep
thrive on the clover, but they will
practically pay for. the cost Of their
care in the Improvement they will
render to- the land by destroying
brush, thus assisting in the clearing
of the land. As soon as farmers come
to appreciate the value and profit Of
sheep on farms in this territory, it
is confidently predicted that the NUT

His Social Advantages.
Four fundamental considerations
may be set down as necessary in any
lpermantly successful agricultural dis
ltrict. These are good soil, abundant
water supply for domestic and live
stock uses,- rainfall so distributed
throughout the season as to make the
growing Of crops successful, and, fin
tally, a climate adapted to the health
fullness of man and beast. l.: ~ x
No one can gainsay that these four
fundamental necessities are present in
in this Northern Minnesota country.

ably lacking, legitiment question
might be raised as to the future de-
velopment of the country. Not only
are these four fundamental necessi-
ties assuredly present, but a supple
mentary consideration, that of trans
portation facilities by which the mar
kets; of the world may be reached, is
also supplied. Further, schools and
churches, and the accessories of home
society have come with the incoming
of energetic and Industrious settlers,
and these conditions are rapidly be-
ing improved. What more can be
asked as foundation for great and
prosperous empire than these four

prices that in any other region of the

competence for old age. The man
who settles with his family on eighty
acres of land and from year to year
clears and improves this land, main

may be reasonably expected to have
