AGRICULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES IN WISCONSIN.
By Evan Anderson
THE lands in the neighborhood of Clam Falls, Wis., offer to the man interested in farming and stock-raising the best chances to make a good living, and get a home for himself and family. People are coming here from the States of Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, and from the adjoining counties of St. Croix and Pierce to settle and make themselves independent homes. In this valley there seems to be no lack of moisture; and it is the only spot I have seen where field and garden plants do not have to hang their “ears” and wait long for rain. Small fruits grow in abundance, but are not a sure crop every season. The price on wild land runs all the way from seventy-five dollars to one hundred and sixty dollars a forty; sold usually on five-year-time terms. On account of accident in the home of one of my neighbors, his squatter’s claim of one hundred and twenty acres is open for entry. To those who may think the word “farming” in this notice is misleading, I will say, Come and see the wheat and corn we raise here. Take the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha Railroad from Minneapolis or St. Paul to Cumberland, Wis. Drive or walk west eighteen miles to Sand Creek, and inquire for me. EVAN ANDERSON.
