or Cloiiriutiiit for Xortheast W vnm!ng. Inquire early and go early.
This area contains largo bodies of excellent grazing lunds from fifteen to
fifty miles from the railroad. Write meforuliniilur of information and instruc
tions, which will tell you exactly what to do without loss of time to apply for
a stock-raising ami dairy homestead. You can secure one of these valuable
