A Big Wheat Farm i'm Pembina.

A gentleman who came down from
the North Pacific the other day gives to
the st. Paul Pioneer-press the following
interesting notes in relation to Dalrym-
ground sown to wheat this spring was l.
300 acres. Harvesting commenced on
Monday, with nine self binders. The
machines are run fifteen hours without
rest, except the ordinary stops for oiiing
lunch and dinner, and the result per day
is 1870 acres. One man is employed to
each team, and twelve men follow the
machines shocking the wheat as soon
as it is cut. The entire 1900 were to be
cut and shocked during the week; stack
ing and threshing will of course follow.
Dalrymple is harvesting his crop for
about one-lifth Of the cost required un-
der the system in vogue ten years ago
At the time harvesting commenced it
was estimated the yield per acre from
the entire tract would not be less than
twenty bushels to the acre Giras<hop-
pers had done but little damage, the ex-
cessive hot weather came too late to blast
the crop, and everybody who saw the
waving grain pronounced big wheat
farming on the North Pacific success.
The fassn on which the crop vas grown
consist of 10000 acres, on which next
season there will he sown to wheat o.
900 acres, the sod Of it having been
broken this season NJ. Dalrynrle had
as high "a one hundred teams al work
The iurrows turned were six miles long,
and the teams make but two rips day,
travelling with each plow, to make the
| four burrows, twenty four miles. The
location of this farm is eighteen miles
west of Monrehea,l, Minnesota, in the
proposed new Territory of Pemhina, and
/ this is not the only big farm IN the vic
Unity, but is the boss" farm of dozen
or more running from 500 10 several
thousand acres.

How long does it take to transmit
message through the Atlantic cable?-
The New York Journal of Commerce
has been investigating thi< question, and
simple as it looks at first sight, there are
many singular and interesting points in
the answer When the electricity is ap-
piled to the cable at one end. two tenths
of a second pass before any eject is felt
at the other end, and three seconds are
consumed before the fall force of the
current is in action The first signal is
felt in four-tentils oi a second, but the
following ones go through more rapidly.
As many As seventeen Words have been
sent over the Atlantic cable in one min
ute; fifteen can be usually sent under
pressure, and twelve words q minute is
good working rate. Messages of twelve
words have been sent all the way from
New York TO London in two minutes \
fact not yet explained by the scientists is
that the electricity does not move as
rapiilv from New York to London as in
the opposite direction.
