Desc iption of 1100 Acre Sheep Ranch.
1100 acres of land in Monroo County,
Mo., nbout 8 miles from Monroo Cty,
a town of 3000 people on 2 rail roads.
7 miles of macadamized road runs to
this ranch nnd tho other 1 mile is good
dirt road. There is a public school on
the East and North sides. Tho entire
ranch is fenced with over 10 miles of
nog tight woven wiro fenco with good
posts and gates and barbed wiro on
b-p, tho placo being fencd in 6 fields.
There is ono and one-fourth miles of
fino running spring water on the ranch
that furnishes an abundunco of clear,
living watqr in tho driest season. There
is a story and a half painted frame
house with a porch, cellar and oat
buildings, al in good rcpiir, also a
good barn not pamtoJ, o.it houses,
sheds und cribs. The land '3 all
triginully oak, hickory, elm, cherry nnd
.valnut Umber. All the sule iblo timb -r
was cut off about 20 yours .igo, about
700 ai res being cut off cloan. T Jb hus
dince grown up in sprouts, excepting
about 300 acres which has been kept
cut and is virtually c can, tho balance
has boon cut but not enough t to kill all
tho sprouta, and thoru is Homo thick and
somu thin sprouts. Nona of this Dp rout
land howuvor 13 too large for sheep 10
kill out.
Tho other 400 aero, besides tho
sprout) ha) q jito u lot of fino po3t, pil
ing, pole, prop, nnd some goad tie tim
ber, tho latter being estimated at nbout
ten thousand tio3. Som-o of this 400
acres is thin nnd whor- thi3 is found
tho Is good grass whore it has not
been too shaded. Along the branch is
wowo routjli bluff laud, purbapu ICO
acres and of this rough land there is
nbout one-half waste land, even this
land where it Ib not too rocky, is cov
ered with fine blue grass. All the stone
mentioned hero is limestone, Back of
this there is about 150 acres of more
rough land that is not stony and this is
all tho best of grass land. The balance
of tho ranch runs from quite rolling to
smooth land, fully 700 or 800 acres
could bo plowed if cleared, and this is
the bost of wheat, clovor and blue
grass land. This country here Is nat
urally a blue grass region. By the time
you have killod out the sprouts, say in
about three years, tho blue grass will
havo mado a thick sod without seeding
or attention of any kind. All this coun
try U undorlaid with fino coal from
4 to 8 feet thick, and is mi cd for local
uso only on account of tho diatanco to
the railroad.
Thoro are thousands of acres of rich
river bottom land adjoining this ranch
that rniso fine corn, most of which is
hauled, to Monroo City, from nlno to
twelve miles distant. A fecdor can buy
com delivered in thu crib on this ranch
for five to sawn cents lose than tho
market price. It is beyond doubt tho
best location for a stockar und feeder
ranch in Missouri, besides being a line
Bheep proposition. This ranch Is easily
worth $25 per aero, but tho ownor has
madu arrangements to move to Oregon
und live and, he is therefore offering
this ranch at the very low pi ice of $20
pur acre for a quick sale. Tho owner
will give -asy terms to the right man
who will move on the ranch and im
prove it. Incumbrance $7,500 due in
1912 at 6 per cent interest.
