Marvels of Dakota Territory.

Twenty seven miles north of Fargo is
the world-renowned Grondin farm. 1t
covers about 10000 acres, embracing
both railroad and Government land,
and is close to the Red River. The
farm is divided into four parts, and has
dwellings, granaries, blacksmith shop,
elevators, etc, and has stabling ca
pacity for 200 horses ana has a granary
capacity for 100000 bushels. In ad-
ditiOn to the wheat farm there is a stock
farm of 10000 acres. During the seed
ing season they employ about seventy
men, and in harvest time as ma ~ as
200 men are busily engaged. Seeding
commences about the 9th of April and
ends the Ist of May. The work is done
very Systematically, the machines fol-
lowing each other about the field four
rods apart. Cutting commences about
the S1h of August and ends the fore part
of September; then comes threshing,
which is done by eight steam threshers.
After threshing the stubble ground is
plowed with gang plows that cut two
burrows, drawn by three horses, and
this work continues until it "freezes
up" which is about the first of Novem-
Der.
The largest cultivated wheat farm in
the world having been described will
take the reader to Casseiton, twenty
miles west of Farge, passing by hun
dreds of small 60 acre farms worked by
the homesteader. 1t has something
about 100 families, three hotels and sew
eral large stores, all of which do large
business. In this vicinity may be seen
vafu larora forrnc Y,,rn ~, tho oo,,,a Ia
as the Grondin farm; they are the AL
ton, Cass, Cheney and Smith-Dodge.
To describe these farms would be to re.
peat the description of the Grondin, on.
ly on a somewhat smaller scale. The
surface of the land here is nearly level,
and the soil is rich and black. The
yield of one field of 2,Sl5 acres, as given
by elevator weight (57,28S bushels),
shows an aggregate of 25 bushels to the
acre.-Cor. Nes0 Hacen Union.

Too Good.

A very good and pious looking young
man applied for position in a well
known store last week. After he had
introduced himself and made known his
wants, the proprietor informed him that
he would like to have clerk, if he could
get one that would suit him.

he commented
"Yes, sir"
"Do you drink ?n continued the mer-
chant, eyeing him sharply.
Never!"
"Do you use tobacco in any formp''
Here the young man pushed the quid
into the roof of his mouth, and replied
with smile that was cbildlike and
bland: I" l never use the weed and new
er did. 1 consider it the lowest and
most shocking habit that man can be
addicted to-"
"Do you frequent the policy shopsP"
"No, sir; never!"
"Do you 90 to the National Theater,

the emphatic reply.

"Suppose," said the merchant, ga
man should offer to bet one thousand
dollars to ten that a three-legged goat
could outrun a greyhound, would you
take him?" ir
"No, sir!" a-,.4s

lishment; we don't want you've never

The Zulus a Warlike Race.

Universal compulsory service is an
older institution among the Zulus than
even in Prussia, For ages the Zulus
have been trained as warriors from boy
hood, and have remained liable to be
called upon for military service even
after they have become grayheaded old
men. Fifty years and more ago, when
as yet they were armed only with spears,
assegais, and axes, the Zulus were the
most dreaded of all the Katie tribes by
reason of the reckless and desperate de-
termination with which they attacked.

Beatrice Cenci. For two centuries and

Beatrice, and did not paint in Rome un-
