Probably the greatest need of a
frontier section like this is set
tiers of the right sort. A good
many come and some go. Those
who remain are men and women
who are willing to stand hard
ships and privations incident to a
new country. Those who go are
either of the restless kind or
have opportunity to rent or other
employment that looks more con-
genial. To rough it" here in
Pine County seems more sense
able, if by so doing a home can
be secured, than paying exhorbi-
tant rents in older parts of the
country or working for wages
for other people who are making
all the profits.
The ease with which a home
may be secured should not be
overstated. Newcomers some
times get erroneous views as to
the possibilities of the soil and
climate. Land companies are
apt to over state the good quail
ties Of their offers, but men with
energy and determination, have
succeeded and will succeed here.
We believe forty acres Is
enough to start on. Stock should
be kept only as feed can be raised
to care for it, but where feed is
secured the herd should be in
creased.

that is catarrh. Catarrh being great
