One of the very best farms in this famous clover belt of Clark County, Wisconsin, and it must be sold by May 20 1912. Farm consists of 220 acres; 135 acres in high state of cultivation; eight-five acres pasture and timberland. The farm is located two and one-half miles from Curtiss, Wisconsin, and four and one-half miles from Owen, Wisconsin. The soil is of the very best, being a rich loam with clay subsoil. It is well drained by a creek in the pasture.

Buildings on the farm include: thirteen room house, basement barn 44 x 80, silo 16 x 36, hog barn 16 x 24, chicken house 16 x 30, wind mill. The silo is attached to basement barn and has twelve foot foundation. All buildings are in first class order and well painted.

The following personal property goes with the farm: twenty five good grad Holstein Milch cows, fifteen good grad Holstein young stock, one full blood Holstein bull, eleven head hogs, five good heavy horses, two wagons, three buggies, cutter, light and heavy bobs, two plows, three drags, one disc harrow, one seeder, one corn binder, one corn planter, one grain binder, one hay loader, one hay tedder, one rake, one mower, one side deliver rake, one sulky cultivator, two sing cultivators, potato digger, silo filler, cream separator, and numerous other things.

This farm will produce, dollar for dollar, as much per acre as the very best farm in Illinois. This can be proven. The corn silage on this farm last year yielded twenty one and three fourths tons per acre. Other crops give equally good yields. A “A No. 1” dairy farm, as well as for diversified farming. It must be seen to be appreciated.
