Quality and local advantages rule the price.

petent can buy and pay for a good Farm and Home. In be- 
ginning, it is necessary to have money enough to pay 6fx per 
cent interest on the land, obtain provisions, build a cabin, 
buy a team and agricultural implements till crops are rais- 
ed, which can be done the ft rat season, by commencing in 
early Spring. 
CIRCULARS Riving full particulars are supplied gratis,
