home what be knew and saw of wheat

running one sfter another. The yield
of wheat averaged 25 bushels to the
acre, amounting to 100000 bushels,
which we're Immediately shippsd to
New York on the cars Of the Northern
Pacific railroad. For this purpose it
required the uis Of 100 cars per day
for Is consecutive days to remove this
immense bulk OF wheat to market. The
Northern Pacific road could not spare
% large o number of cars for . single
job Of this magnitude. and were obliged
to borrow cars from other roads. Think
Of l 300 railroad cars moving on the
same track all laden with wheat. the
product Of o single farm in Dakota!
The wheat was sold in New York ct
profit Of $4,000. IL it any wonder
that facts like these should be received
with incredulity by the slow aud easy
going people down East. who have but
. meagre idea Of the grand empire
growing up in the North and North
west Of our country?
