To Farm Out Copper Lands.

4 A party of Houghton capitalists have under consideration the establishment at a point on the Copper Range railroad south of Houghton a 600-acre experimental farm. The lands have already been secured, but are at present heavily timbered. • Steps will be taken during the coming winter to cut the timber and early next Bprlng the stumps will be removed and the land made ready for cultivation. It is hardly probable that crops will be planted,before 1913, but the enterprise when established will prove one of the biggest from an agricultural standpoint in the copper country.—Michigan Manufacturer.
