A DAIRY PARADISE,

When farm land in Illinois, lowa and Southern Wisconsin sells at from $75 to ?125 an acre. Is it any wonder that dairymen are looking for new locations, where ’ land can be bought for a mere fraction of these prices? Northern Wisconsin has dairy lands that cannot be surpassed anywhere In the middle west that can still be bought “dirt cheap." Mr. John Mathieson, President of the Minnesota Dairy Association, In a letter to the Dairy Reporter, says: “I made a trip last summer into the hardwood timber belt on the ‘Soo’ Railway In Northern Wisconsin. I was surprised at the natural advantages offered to dairymen in that locality. There Is an abundance of pure water; clover, timothy and blue graps do excellently. The soil is productive, as Is shown by the crop grown on the lands In cultivation. This section is destined to be a fine dairy region, all the natural conditions, climate, soil, pure water and nutritious grasses are found here.” The location is another advantage, being on the “Soo” Railway. Dairy products are taken in refrigerator cars direct to New York and Boston, where the best prices are obtained. Lands in this region can be had now at very low prices. The sol! is a rich loam with clay subsoil, and is exceedingly productive. If you are interested, write for descriptive maps to D. W. Cassoday, Land and Industrial Agent, “Soo Line," Minneapoils, Mian.
