A Fifty Thousand Acre Farm

William Dalrymple, whose residence
Is near the town of Fargo, Dakota terri
tory, is probably the largest farmer In
the world that directly manages his
own farm. 1t consists of fifty thousand
acres, extending twelve miles along the
bottom lands of q river, thence eleven
miles into the interior, covering an area
of over thirty square miles. OF this
twenty thousand acres were sown last
year In wheat and yielded two hundred
and fifty thousand bushels of grain.
This is only fifteen bushels per acre, but
1t is not bad when we consider the
rough manner in which so large area
is sown. The soil is said to be very
affiuent and in its constituents is pecu-
liarly adapted to the cultivation of
wheat.
The farm is divided into twenty-five
separate managements and o general
superintendent appointed for each, with
excellent domestic residents. Near by
are the boarding houses of the hands
and back of these are the graneries and
stables, of immense proportions. Each
separate division has the same set of
buildings and all operations are conduct
ed alike. TO work this immense area
of land four hundred and fifty men and
three hundred horses, mules, etc., are
required. The Office duties require two
cashiers and three bookkeepers. Water
is supplied away from the river by wind
power. One thousand acres per day
are cut by seventy-flve reapers, and
thousand bushels of grain per hour are
put in the bins by eighteen steam
threshers. This, we are bold to say,
without fear of serious contradiction, is
a sizable farm.

How to Clean White Worsted Articles.

Lay your white worsteds in pan,
one at a time, cover them with wheat
flour, then rub them thoroughly in it.
After this has been well done, take
them from the -four and shake them, or
if it is clear, windy day, hang them on
the clothes line, where they will be
whipped by the wind, and they will be
well cleaned, and have all the light,
downy appearance of new worsted.
Some recommend rubbing them in
Indian meal, but we do not think they
look quite as clean and white.
If white furs are laid in large pan
or basin half filled with Indian meal,
and well rubbed with the meal, they
will look as nice as new. Use no water
on the worsted articles or the furs !;
nothing but the dry flour for worsted,
and Indian meal for white furs.

A whale. Death FURRY.

"Hurra, boysl see she rises ~ was
the general shout. Up came the whale
more suddenly than we expected. A
general dash was made at her by all
the boats. :" Stern for your lives /:

experienced harpooners. "See, she 5
in a hurry First the monster tapped
the water violently with his fins; then
its tail was elevated aloft, lashing the
ocean around it in mass OF roam.

its former deep dive, IL was again
obliged TO come TO the surface to

from every! side 1t was piled with
lances, While another harpoon was
driven deeply into it, making il doubly

tious, for We were right over the tail
of the whale. The chief harpooner
warned us" Back, my lads; back OF

~AyDuel by the Dead.

A duel recently took place in grave
yard in st. Louis. John Riley, the extra
man of Six Engine, and more widely
known as the trusty who, at the time
of. the first arrest of the Brotllertons, ;.
the notorious ccnvicts, aided them to
escape from the county jail, only to be
recaptured, has been for some time past
at variance with man whose brother
Riley whipped some time ago. The dis
like culminated IN cold-blooded agree
ment to fight to the death one morning
recently, the men meeting at the fire on
King street and agreeing on the time
and place, which were the Catholic
cemetery, and half-past O'Clock
in the morning. At that time Riley
started out, presumably alone, as no
one can be found who will admit ,ac-
comTanying him-possibly under the
fear Of prosecution for violating the
dueling laws, He took the horse cars
to Lone Mountain, and then walked
over to the Catholic cemetery In search
of his opponent. The latter was there
before him, having gone out in a hack.
Preliminarles were all arranged before
hand, it having been agreed that the
weapons should be revolvers; that the
men should begin shooting at ten PAGES
and close up, shooting until the thing
was settled one way or the other. As
a matter of course, there were others
present TO give the word, though who
they were Is at present mystery, and
willcontirue 50 for any thing that Riley
will reveal. a hill sloped toward the
road where the encounter took place,
but the morning was clear and sunny,

with the encounter. The men separated
some distance, and, with pistol in hand
and eyes fixed on each other, advanced
When about ten PAGES apart the word
was given, and both pistols exploded
simultaneously. Riley was unhurt,
but his opponent staggered and then
rushed forward, quickly firing a second
shot. Riley fred three more shots in
quick succession, but did not hit his
man, and the two men closed. Two
more shots were fired In the struggle.

ted TO assassinate the Gar, sends the
following description: "A platform,
something less than three feet in
height, had been erected in the field
about one hundred yards from the
Great Prospect. On this were placed
two upright posts, and cross-bar was
affixed to these, with duplicate arrange
ment of ropes, which certainly seemed
very slight. YThe second was evidently
provided in case of any, accident with
the other. Toward the back part OF
the platform, and in the middle, was a
third upright post, against-which sub

PRESERVATION OF FRUIT TREES One
gallon of whale or sperm oil, half a
gallon pine tar, one pound of carbonate
ammonia, one pound saleratus. Put
the ingredients into barrel, fill up
with rain water. and put in cotton or
wool enough for each tree, then bind il
around the same near the surface OF
the ground. Every other morning for
ten days, early, before the sun gives
much heat, with the watering pot wet
the wool or cotton with the above pre-
paration. This must be done In the
spring when the frost has lef: the earth
and the trees commence budding, 1t
Is very important that this should be
strictly observed. When trees are much
delayed, this preparation should also
be used In the fall. Raspberries, grape
vines, etc, need only to be bathed near
the roots. The above quantity is sufH-
cient for five hundred trees. For
greater or less number use In proper
ton. 1t must be well stirred before
using. For all small vines or flowers
dilute with rain water one-half.
