I would like {or all to know where to find a good home and good land. The climate here in Montmorency, Michigan, is a Splendid place for any one. The soil is ol rich black clay and red clay and sandy loam. I have seen cucumbers grow 12 to 14 inches long, and for wheat, oats and all kinds of grain it can’t be beaten. We can raise and cut two :crops of clover hay in one year, and the second crop will yield ltwo tons to the acre. For beets, carrots and turnips I never saw any- thing better. We have no stones, and no stumps. The timber is small, and we can pull all the stumps out the first year, and cut the first crOp with the binder. Then we have the sand planes that are covered with Jack pines, and this is the prettiest place for hunting deer, Those planes are fifty miles long and twelve miles wide, and a man can drive all over them. In summer they are covered with blue berries, and there are lots of big black berries too, , P. C., K. C, M. 6.. Senator, Ex-Pz‘in‘e Hillman, Mich” Feb ED. CHRONICLE. Sold by MacFarlane Co.
