Great CoiiiliiiiatlonSubscriptioD Offers. 



Combination and concentration in business are the magic watchwords of 

 the age in which we live. Why should it not be applied to the matter of sub- 

 scriptions to magazines and periodical literature in general ? We believe it is a 

 wise move, especially when it is in the line of economy for the reading public.

 their reading matter, and at the same time help them to the best literature pub- 

 lished to-day, we shall feel that we are doing a good thing, indeed.

Bee-Fari iiing Du ir rigaiion. 



Alfalfa, as is well known, is a great honey-producer. As under 

 irrigation it produces several crops a year, witli bloom with each 

 crop, the bee-farmer who locates his hives of bees among alfalfa 

 fields is sure of a large honey crop. 



General Faritiitie: Under Irrigation 



is also scientific and devoid of the element of chance. Crops are 

 sure, yields larger, quality better, and prices higher, with no risk 



of wet weather damage in harvest. 



Wheat yields SO bu.; oats, 100 bu.; potatoes, 300 bu.; alfalfa, five 

 tons regularly each year. 



Under the popular and successful 



Wilson Irrigation Settlement Plan 



it is possible to get a well-irrigated farm possessing the requisites of 

 abundance of water, rich soil, home markets, good society, etc., 



for little money and on easy terms. 



We share profits with those who can advance, all cash. Write for 

 Bulletin giving full details. Agents wanted.
