He has nearly three thousand acres,

purchase Of more land. and this year
one thousand seven: hundred acres are
in wheat, Cast year tho same, and
from his former wheat crop he raised
B5, 200 bushels, realizing (if We remeu-;
bers eorrectly) $1.55 per bushel, max
ing the total amount SIS, 1886. We al
know that our crop last year was not
an average yield; and q to Mr.. Dalrym,
ple's grain, We must say it looked we'll
when We were there, and ifsit does not
average Is bushels to the acre this year
we are much mistaken. If he raises
I2b bushels per; acre, and receives only
$l .2eter bushel, he will realize e59,-

He eommenoed farming with $25, 900
