JOE E3KELSON
Is a droll kind of fellow, quick to see a
point and just as apt to make you think
he don't see it. He has the appearanoe
of a substantial business man, and I
would that this oouotry bad more such
fellows. Has three quarters of land
witb 200 acres in crop. Had a fair yield
last year and looks forward to another
tbis year.
THEODORE CORK
Has 320 acres with 100 in cultivation.
Hus seeded 95 acres and will break
more land. Jflenty ot good sprint;
water. Fine orohard and the outlook is
oheerful. Mr. Cork s-iys the g eat
need of our country n more settlera, in
order to give the people better educa
tional facilities.
WM. T. CAMPBELL
is oue of the most enterprising farmers
on the ridge. He was brought up in a
country where people had to work for a
living, and he has never known any other
ay. Has 240 acres ot No. 1 land with
110 iu cultivation. Has Beeded 50 acres
aud will plow 175 more. "Yes, we are
bound to get the usual amount of moist
ure, and as it did not come during the
winter it must oome during the spring."
Quod orchard and fair supply of water.
MRS. GEO. BROWN'S
Ranoh of 320 acres is being operated by

I would like to oull the attention of
friends to the fact that while the greater
per cent, of the farming community are
showing full attention to this important
work, there are some so full of (native
modesty I guests) thut they will not even
answer a fev simple interrogations civ
illy. Of course we don't expect such
men to offer any practical Bid, for they
never do their share in any capacity of
life Bud are always loudest in their demands.
A, A. WILLIS,
A promising young man, is the next
subject, and while his story about farm
ing is brief, I would like to have some
of my friendB back in the states know
how well a person can do in tbis country.
About one year ago Mr. Willis bought
100 acres for $500. One hundred acres
was then in orop which, when harvested,
realized for him the snug sum ot $1,700.
How is that for a small investment?
There are hundreds of good bargains
waiting here for some one to come along
and pick tbem up.
RALPH BENOE
Conducts a large farming business with
good results. Owns three quarters of a

"Prospeot is extra good for a crop.
Plenty of room here for more settlers."
LOUIS J. SOUEURIOU
Has recently begun farming and out of
320 aores has 125 in cultivation. Has
already seeded 120 acres, will break 50.
Mr. Scbeuriob oame from near St.

L'he traet iu question oonsiets ot fifty or

miles from Lexington the great distrib

more favorable oircumstances be admis

"howling for copy" aud eoem to entirely
iguore the fact that it has taken days to
gather the bare fnots, ami that the con

subject, ci title as it may be, could not be
done iu the plowed field, on the hillside
or plain, where betimes the driving
storm of wind, rain, sleet aud bail almost
made man and beast flee before it. Tina
may seem like iugiatitude to the poor
beast of a printer, who never kicks with
out a thousand reasons for it; who looks
ou our rough work witb an eye of char

who iuaerts commas, oolous, semi-colons,

and who also will kindly shoulder auy

Yes, it looks rough. It is rough, and

We atarted ont to talk about (arming,
and the first man on the road was
JOHN FIFEB.
He has something less than a section,
and is regarded a small farmer in the
community. However, bis work iaa fac

orop last year and has a fair prospiot for
the coming season.
JOHN CABMlCHAKIj
Last year harvested several hundred
acres of grain that averaged over 26
busbels per acre; has seeded 100 aores;
will break 20.1. John is a hard worker,
has a pleasant home and some nice, fat
baby girls. He feels oonfident of a good
crop.
J. T. M ALISTEB
Owns 1,280 acres, with 540 in cultivation;
average wheat crop, 24 bnshels per acre ;
barley, 45; hay, tons. Talking aboat
wheat ruising, Mr. McAlister said much
depends upon the season aud the time of
sowing grain. Sometimes eany sown
grain is best aud sometimes it is not.
Land must be Bummer-fallowed to se
cure results of any kind, nave seeciea
200 acres and will summer-fallow 340;
raising some horses; good supply of
water.
The next man in the settlement is
OECEOE ML'IR,
Who owns B fine ranch and takes due
pride in operating it to a profitable ad
vantage. Mr. Muir was away, therefore
we are unable to give the exact figures.
J nst west of these two gentlemen last
named you will find
BEN 8WAOQART
Camped. Had the good fortune to make
Ben's acquaintance in Lexington one day.
During the brief conversation he ex
tended a oordial invitation to visit bis
ranch. Certainly! Right here let me
say that a newspaper solicitor oan ap
preciate hospitality just as thoroughly as
a human being or a farmer. Our start
for Ben's place wan made late and sev
eral miles intervened, and if you ever
want to find him, go to bis ranoh at
night and wait. By the first Btreak of
dawn he is up and away. Well, after
stumbling over tough roads through the
darkness until we felt certain we were
astray, we enquired the way. Oh, ves;
he could tell everybody knew where
Ben lived. The darkness was like unto
that of Egypt in olden times. There
were a few stars viaible. He guided me
by those stars principally. Here was his
direction: "Go back the way you oame,
pass through the first nine gaps on the
right and seven on the left. When you
get over beyond that big yellow star,
you turn and go south until yon come
to another barbed wire fence," etc., etc,
etc, etc. He was going to build alarger
bouse next season and could then keep
me over night. I agreed to enjoy
his hospitality twelve months after
date and started for Ben's. By
the time I arrived the poor
man bad retired, but he came forth
smiling and treated me kindly. In the
morning we rode over bis extensive
farm which embraces four seotions
of land 600 acres in orop. The
ranoh is enclosed by forty miles of
barbed wire; average wheat orop last
year, 83 bushels per aore; works about
sixteen horses although his band of horses
consists of 125 head; has about 150
head of horned oattle; saw some fine
beef; is breeding fine Peroheron horses ;
baa a number of horses noted for their
speed, among others "Lady Opal," a
2-year-old filly, that bids fair to make a
marvelous reoord. Mr. Swaggart takes
just pride in his orohard. It oouaists of
over 1,000 trees in good healthy condi
tion in full bearing and he has all vari
eties of fruit; located here eight years
ago; a good house, barn and out build
ings sbow evidence of the substantial
character of the owner. Gives the oost
ot raising wheat (20 bushels per acre) at
$5.35, while the value of that same orop
is $15, leaving a balnnoe of $9-65. Is
there anv money in. farming? Land is
being sold at all prices, but average
farming land in this neighborhood is
worth $10 per acre. Mr. Swaggart has a
pleasant home and an interesting fam
ily. He is well enough satisfied witb
this country that he is now trading for
more land.
JAMES MU1R
Has a fine ranch of 400 acres, with 100
acres iu cultivation; fair yield last
year; has seeded 190 aores; has been
running a thresher and for the past
eight years the average amount of grain

BEXEFIEL B ROTHES,
Four iu number, Charles, Frank, Ernest
and J. W., are engaged in farming.
They are operatiug about 2,000 aores of
laud; run six gang plows and thirty fair
looking work horses. If push and
energy will win, these gentlemen will

say he was well pleased with the coun
try and the crops, sod bad reasonable
assurance of a fair crop tbis year.
W. C. METIER
la farming a half Beotion ; drives a fine
team and keeps everything in ship-shape;
small orohard in good oondition. "Treea

tivation; average wheat orop 25 bushels
per aore; has seeded a quarter section;
will summer-fallow 420 acres; takes both

papers. He says that we can't expect oar
local papers to do good unless they have
a liberal support.
B J. BOOH SB
Came here from Clinton, Mo , one
month ago; had formerly lived here and
was glad to return, as tbis country affords
better opportunities for a poor man than
the older settled states.
B. H. BOOHBB
Located eleven years ago; is farming ex
tensively and is well suited with the
country.
WM. BOOHEB
Don't make much ftisa about it, but be
reaohea praotical results. Has one of
the finest faimson Qarden Plain; says
it costs about $5 per aore to raise wheat;
believes land is worth $10 per acre in
this country.
REUBEN LANS

It is evident that tbis is the beBt farm
ing oountry in the world for a poor man.
The length of the season admits of plow
ing almost the entire year, and seeding
oan be done any time from August to
June, though late fall or early winter
seeding is the best. Land is obeap and
good farms can be seoured at from $3 to
$15 per acre, while those who will pot
up with the inoonvenience of frontier
life oan find good locations on govern
ment land. The olimate is mild. During
the past winter muoh of the stuck has
been wintered entirely on the bunoh
grass prairie.
A man oan get a start here easily, and
if he will exercise the diligence necessary
to a bare living in some of the older
countries, he will prosper here. This
land will be known, and then values will
advanoe sharply, therefore the man of
means, as well as the poor man, can do
more here than elsewhere.
In the present review of the farming
community, we can point to men, aoores
of them, who came here seven, eight or
ten years ago witb practically nothing,
and are today well-to-do farmers, in the
happy possession of from five to fifty
thousand dollars worth ot property.
There have been barriers in the past to
sucoessful farming that are now entirely
removed. Some hardships have to be
endured. That's true of any oountry,
but here the ice is broken. The pioneer
work is done. The oountry has about
two persons per square mile where it
could well support twenty, and each be
the better for his neighbor's presenoe.
My friend, oome out and see for your
self If you are in doubt leave the de
pendent ones and oome alooe. Come
before harvest and we will give you a
place in the harvest field where you can
pay expenses and convinoe yourself that
every word said about tbis oountry is
true. Let the farmers in the older set
tled countries oompare results. Let
tbem dig up their account books and
find out when, sinoe Adam's time, the
land of their choice returned a yield of
more than 100 per cent, of the asking
price of land, as was done here in many
instances, last year. The next ninety
days will mark a great change in the
values of land here, and those who con
