175,000 Acres of Land for Sate From $5.00 to $15.00 Per Acre

You can buy a quarter section and homestead a quarter section, giving you 320 acres of land for a very little money. It will only cost you a trifle to homestead 160 acres of land at Mandan, North Dakota. No better country out of doors for reliable farming than North Dakota, and especially this section. A rolling prairie, good rich soil, purest of well water from fifteen to fifty feet, land covered with most nutrious grasses, coal almost at the settler’s door, for the cost of digging; free homesteads adjoining or near by, that can be had for filing. A renter in the older States is the most foolish man on earth. He can buy a farm in North Dakota on terms so his yearly payments will be less than he pays for rent now. Quit renting and own a home. You can’t do it where you are. Come to North Dakota.

The first two years the land netted him $25 an acre, and last year he bought an 80-acre tract adjoining his farm at $25 an acre. He seeded 75 acres of this with flax, from which he threshed 1,725 bushels and sold it for $2,242.50 or $242,50 more than the land cost him. He had 268 acres in flax, wheat, barley, oats and speltz, which he sold for an aggregate of $5,026, or more than his entire farm cost him. West of the Missouri River In this part of North Dakota settlers find an agreeable climate, a rich and easily tilled soil, abundance of fine pasturage, good water, and large deposits of lignite coal. The winters are shorter and milder than in the eastern part of the state. Cattle and sheep require but little food during the winter months, except what the open ranges supply, while horses do not have to be fed at all.
