From the Fargo Dakota) Times.
A Bill of Particulars.

"A friend in Geneva, ILL.,, writes us
that he has heard a great deal about
the "Dalrymple farm" near Fargo,
ana has also seen many contradictory
statements abont the size of the farm
and the amount in wheat this wear.
and asks us to give him "a bill of
PARTICULARS For the benefit of our
correspondent, and others who NAV
be interested in large farming opera
tlons, we will state that what is called
the "Dalrymple farm" is q tract of
about 1000 acres of land near Cassel-
ton, twenty miles west of Fargo, on
the line of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. 1t is owned by Geo. w. Cass
and p. B. Cheney, of New York, and
Oliver Dalrymple, the "wheat king of
Minnesota" as he is termed. Twelve
hundred acres We're broken i'm 1879
and sowed to wheat last year. This
year there are 1000 acres in wheat
and splendid crop it is, too and
5000 acres additional We're broken THE
season for seeding mex: year.
Mr.. Dalrymple also owns a half in
terest in what is known as the "Gran-
din farm," tract of 40, 900 acres lust
north of Elm River, in Trail County.
ID. H., 80 miles north of Fargo. The
other owners are the Grandin
Brothers, bankers of Tidioute, Pa.
On this farm there are $500 acres in
wheat this year, and some 5000 acres
broken for next year. 20 harvest
this crop of $500. acres on the two
places, it required AZ 2self-binding reap
ers, 225 horses and mules and $50 men.
Nine steam threshers, each with a
capacity of 1000 bushels per day, are
now at work threshing the grain.
In addition to his interest in these
TWO immense farms, Mr.. Dalrymple
OWNS 1000 acres of land in Cottage
Grove, Minn., near st. Paul, 1900
acres of which is in wheat-so that
either as sole or half owner. Mr..
Dalrymple is interested in 5000
acres of wheat this year, which will he
Increased to $1,000 acres next year.
We may add that it is the intention
ofthe owners of these two huge farms
TO break on an average about 5000
acres each year, until the whole s., 900
acres are brought under cultivation.
They have abundant means, and the
experiment so far has proven that it is
not possible to make better invest
ment of money. This is the second
year of the enterprise, and so far the
net profits have been over $40 Der acre
each year, for every acre under Guilt
walton. Go thou and do likewise. and
there is plenty of room here to do it in

The Barosma has been the means of
doing a great deal of good in healing
the sick, and benefiting the afflicted,
many of whom had almost despaired
of health or of even being free from
pain. Six years ago, man troubled
with Kidney difficulty came to my
Drug Store, leaning heavily on his
cane, nearly half doubled, hand
across his.back-an object of pity; said
he had been troubled in this way for
years, and whenever he took cold it
settled across his kidneys. often con-
filming him to his bed for days and
weeks with eXcruciating pain. He
took a bottle of the Barosma, and
in three days returned, saying it was
worth fifty dollars bottle to him, and
was willing to pay that ifhe could not
get it without. He continued using
it, buying the six bottles for five dol
lars, which cured him entirely.
