If the farmci wisely conducts 111 customary to send for the professional

CALIFORNIA
Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round—
where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where
animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold?
Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more
varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division
of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that
will assure you a competence?
Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can
grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons,
olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure,
business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ?
Then go to California, where both health and opportunity await
your coming.
The Chicago, Union Pacific and
North-Western Line
is the most direct route to the Pacific Coast, and there are two fast
through trains daily via this line, over the famous double-track
railway between Chicago and the Missouri River. One-way Colonist
tickets are on sale daily, March I to May 15, at
the rate of $33.00 from Chicago, with corre
spondingly low rates from all points, give you
an unusual chance to make the trip.
These tickets are good on daily and personally conducted
excursions, on which a double berth in a Pullman tourist
sleeping car from Chicago costs only $7.00. Round-trip tickets
are always on sale from all points at reduced rates via the
Chicago & North-Western, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific Railways.

first, little interest was felt in his
work, but at last he caught the ear of
his people aud so enthusiastic did they
become that they paid his faro from

tening to him. Great throngs would
gather at the stations, to whom ho
spoke from the rear platform of the i

by him on the subject of corn that the
