IAPID FARM EV
Clare  the  Center  of an Enriching Farming
Country.
C. H. SUTHERLAND'S FARM.
A Good Type of Farm  Evolution now on in Adjoining
Townships.
Clare is the geographical and commercial centre of a large area of excellent farming country and by reason
of her location with two oi Michigan's
principal railroads crossing at her
door, her future growth is an assured
fact. The manufacture of lumber
products is in evidence here today
while large marl deposits not far from
the city and at the Tobacco river a
large storehouse of power, transferable
to Clareand available for manufacturing purposes, tell of future industrial
growth, but to date Clare is primarily
an agricultural community and her
future is inseparably linked with the
development of the farms in the adjoining country, and to even the ordinary visitor something of the possibilities of that agricultural community
in the midst of a relatively new
country is suggested as he saunters up
Olare streets of a Saturday afternoon
and counts anywhere from 150 to 275
horses tied here and there while their
owners are trading in the various
places of business. The impression
thus made is deepened as he learns of
the increasing quantity of cattle, hay,
grain, sheep, butter and eggs shipped

other cattle barns 16x66 and 16x40, hog
pen 16x25 and tool house 18x32 with
windmill and other conveniences.
As the land is brought under cultivation it is divided into twenty acre
fields enclosed with the best wire
fence and each of the fourteen fields
bat one connects directly with a lane
that leads to the barn yard. The Tobacco river touches one corner of the
farm. The soil is varied, one portion
being clay, another clay loam, another
elm and-ash black muck, another a
loamy sand so that any crop peculiar
to this latitude can readily be grown,
but Mr. Sutherland has adopted for
his farm this motto. "Corn, Cleveland Cattlet" and rapidly ia developing
it into what will-be ina few years a
model for equipment and convenience
and of great productiveness. Corn and
clover are, however, secondary considerations. The main aim is the production of Short Horn cattle and
Quince Bush Farm, for such is its
name, is one of the few farms in Clare
county where thoroughbred cattle are
bred. At present a fine herd of sixteen Short Horn thoroughbreds are
found on the farm and the raising and
selling of this standard grade cattle is
already ari industry of great importance both to the' owner and to the
surrounding country in improving' the
grade Of stock.
Mr. Sutherland does not devote all
his time to farming. He is cashier of
the Clare County Savings Banlc, but
almost dally he drives but to his farm
and wanders over its rolling acres,
Its direct management is in charge of
Mr. and Mrs. Alvah Servis, who them-'
selves own a farm a little nearer to
Clare, and to them Mr. Sutherland is
indebted for not a little of the excellent condition of Quince Bush "Farm.
One principal that in the end secures
the enriching of any farm "is carried
(jut in that all produce raised is consumed on the farm and nothing but
live stock and their products are sold.
As one looks over the Sutherland
farm he can but notice the transforming power of man's industry. "Where
but a few years ago it seemed, to the
mere passer by, impossible to earn a
livelihood in the midst of stumps,
flourishing crops abound while even
now the process of that transformation is at hand in what industry daily
accomplishes. The farm lies near the

from here yearly but it is not until he
goes out over the country itself that
he sets it down as an established fact
in his mind that here there are many
farms the equal of the best in the
state.
A trip to C. H. Sutherland's 380-acre
farm two and one-half miles directly
east of Clare takes the visitor through
a tract of excellent farming land with
substantial homes and outbuildings,
good roads and a rich soil. The
Sutherland farm is a good example of
the rapid evolution of a modern farm
from wild land in a country where it
was once supposed agriculture could
never flourish. H"ine years ago the
present Owner began the making of
his farm. At that time there were
no fences nor buildings where the
present equipments exist. "No land
had been stumped and only fifteen
acres ploughed. Now 180 acres have
been'practically rendered stumpless; i
three miles of Wire fence find a place j
on the farm. A conveniSnt home appears in the foreground. In the rear
a number of suitable outbuildings
come in view—a gambrel roof barn
