RECREATION RIGHT At HOME

In these modern times recreation is
considered necessary part of life.
Out of door vacations appeal very
strongly to most people and out Of
door sports are healthful, interesting,
celebrating and beneficial. Mime
sofa is the ideal vacation ground; her
lakes and streams furnish the finest
fresh water fishing on the. continent;
prairie chickens, partridges, rabbits,
quails, squirrels and other small game
are found in almost every locality;

be reached from any part Of the state

large tracts of arid and semi-arid land
have been put upon the market at
tempting prices. At the best this sort
of farming is gamble. Sometimes
you win, oftener you lose. A man
who engages in dry farming simply
makes bet that Nature will be
freaky, and sometimes it is, but not
as steady thing. A man who is in
vesting all, or most of his capital in
a farm cannot afford to take a gam
bler's chance.
MARKETS NECESSARY
The discerning farmer will look we'll
to the market facilities of his new To-
cation. There is nothing so utterly
valueless as a commodity without q
market for the same. A good, ready
and convenient market is one of the
first essentialnies Of successful farm
ing.
SOCIAL ADVANTAGES
In this day, age and generation men
and women desire to be surrounded
They demand church privileges, social
privileges, school privileges and they
desire to keep in touch with the world.
At the present time men do not wish
to place themselves beyond the pale
of civilization when they locate a new
home. They want a daily mail, tele-
phones, good roads, present existant,
or prospectively near. Farm lands
possessing these advantages, reason

state of cultivation, in Illinois, Iowa,

MINNESOTA HAS THESE DE-

home seeking farmer, who intends &c

HEALTHY CLIMATE
The health attributes of Minnesota
are known throughout the realms of
civilization. Fever and ague, the
shakes" that were the life bane to
the early settlers of Indiana, Illinois
and some parts of Iowa are unheard
of; malaria is unknown and epidemic
diseases like cholera, yellow fever and
other tropical plaques never visit us.
1t is a common thing for invalids from
other states, suffering from various
ailments, to renew their youth, health
and vitality by drinking the pure wat
er of Minnesota and inhalng the life

phere. The whole state can be truth

vegetables grown in the state, have
taken sweepstake prizes at thousands
of fairs and agricultural shows exhib-
tied in competition with those Of other
states. Minnesota stock and dairy
products are national standards of ex-
cellence and the physicality Of her ma,
tive-born, homegrown people is equal
to that of any country in the world.
The surface of the state is such
that IS per cent of it's farms can be
titled with machinery without any Diff
ficulty.

Minnesota improved farms is not due
to their lack Of advantage or revenue
producing power but to their proxim-
sold at cheap prices. The high acre
prices now prevailing In Illinois, Iowa
never attained until the supply Of
raw lands in those states had become
exhausted and when this condition ar
rived prices advanced with a rapidity
that startled the most optimistic.
When all the arabic, unimproved lands
in Minnesota have been transformed
into improved farms, and that time
is rapidly approaching, farm acreages
will at once soar to prices equalling
those of the highest priced lands in
the country.

The state has the largest school

state-owned iron mines, is expected to

WATER SUPPLY EXCELS
EVERY OTHER STATE

In natural water supply Minnesota
excels every other state. There are
thousands of live lakes, fed by springs
or running streams having outlets,
within her boundaries. Abundant
springs are found in many sections,
rivers are plentiful and the country
is threaded with innumerable creeks
and brooks. The entire state is un-
derla1d with water-sand strata and
an abundant supply of pure water
can be obtained in every part of the
state, where it is not naturally sup.
Piled, at a reasonable depth and at
comparatively moderate expense.
Flowing wells are common in many
parts OF the state. -

The soil and climate of Minnesota is
especially favorable for the produc-

resources or unduly encroach upon
