the North, the boundary between that |
territory aud Minnesota, consisting Of
$1,000 acres. This they are farming,
partially, and, in time, contemplate
putting the major part of it under cul-
tivation. This year they put in 2500 |
acres of wheat and about 800 acres in
oats, beside cutting 1000 tons Of hay.
They report that this season has been
favorable for wheat in that section,
and their little patch will yield them
not less than $4,000 bushels of clean
wheat. To do this work they have
used so men, 20 mules 35 each plows
aud harrows, all under the supervision
Of one man. The wheat was cut and
bound with II rcapers and binders
combined, and is now being threshed
by 4 steam threshing machines, each
machine having a capacity Of 1000
bushels per day. They ship or barges
on the Red River of the North to
Breckenridge thence to Duluth by
rail, and thence east by vessel. They
are breaking up 2500 acres additional
this fall, and next year will have 5000
acres in wheat. We believe this is
the most extensive single farm east Of
the Rocky Mountains.
