Progress and Prosperity,

Wisconsin' has within the last few years undergone a wonderful change, and is to-day one of the most prosperous and productive States in the Union, and what has made it so? Why, because her rich fertile lands are well adapted and produce large crops of wheat, oats, com, barley, rye, potatoes, hay, flax, hops, and tobacco; beoause her lumber, and timber trade exceeds that of any State east of the Rooky Mountains; beoause of her enormous manufacturing interests, the quantity and value St her live stock, saying nothing of her mining products, fisheries, and enormous waterpowers. This Is a desirable State for settlers intondlng to looate in the Northwest. The Wisconsin Central Lines,'as its name would Indicate, penetrates the center of tho State, and tributary to its lines are the choicest farming and timber lands. Among tho many thriving oltles and towns along this popular route are Burlington, Waukesha, Fond du Lao, Oshkosh, Neonnh, Menaaha, Waupaoa, Stevens Point, Chippewa Falls, Eau’Claire, New Richmond, and Ashland.

A new class of farmers Is about to be created by the Hungarian Government, which proposes to divide crown lands into estates of between 200 and 2,000 acres, and farm them out to the gentry who have lost their family estates and been reduced to poverty.
