Farm for Sale.

By James White

I WISH to sell my farm in Montcalm County, Michigan, two miles east of Greenville.

It contains forty-five acres of first class land—eighteen acres improved—seven in wheat—eight in grass—three in small fruits and garden. I have four hundred grapes of the best varieties, nearly half an acre of strawberries of the choicest kinds, and blackberries and raspberries in abundance. These small fruits, covering nearly two acres, were in a most prosperous condition last fall. They were well protected from the cold frosts of winter, and judging from the mildness of the season, they will all doubtless be in fine condition in the spring.

The farm is within two miles of one of the most thriving villages in Michigan, already numbering more than fifteen hundred inhabitants. A rail-road is soon to connect Greenville with the great lines of travel in Michigan. It is also within less than half a mile of the house of worship of the Seventh-day Adventists.

There is a new house and barn upon the place which cost not less than $2400. The farm is well fenced, and has cost up to the present time, for the land, buildings, fencing, fruit and all improvements, not less than $3800. I will sell it for less than it cost. The property is well worth all it cost. But as I am obliged to sell to meet other demands, I will sell at some sacrifice. Terms, cash down, or very soon. Possession given immediately. JAMES WHITE.

P. S. The soil is especially adapted to growing small fruits, and the home market for plants, vines, and for berries is far better than in older portions of the State. The income for the sale of plants and berries even this spring and the coming summer, will, if properly managed, be several hundreds of dollars. Those who wish to engage in the pleasant and profitable business of cultivating small fruits, will be suited with my place. J. W.
