ted that this years crop will net 100000.
One self-reaper is required to each 16O
acres, and a steam thresher to each 1000
acres, and the threshers turn out 1000
bushels each per day. Of course the visit
ors were delighted by the sight and the
interesting description of the farm, only
a small portion of the detail thereof being
here given. From Dalrymple run was
made to
THE STEEL FARM,
one hundred and fifty miles from Fargo.
This is more of a dairy and poultry
than grain farm. Some 600
COWS are kept and, Mr.. Steel has gone ex-
tensively into poultry raising and expects
to send to market this year 10000 chick
ems. Having inspected these premises for
an hour the train was run on to Bismarck,
where public reception was given to Mr..
Hatch and his guests. Gov. Ordway made
an address of welcome, giving some narra-
tive of the growth of Dakota. Hon. Mr..
Wyman, of Rhode Island, responded in be-
half of the party, concluding by calling out
Uncle Rufus, who made a witty three minute
speech, and then called for some songs
by the glee club of the party. Af-
ter the exchange of courtesies the train
passed over thu river to Mandan, where it
remained for the night.
THE START FROM MANDAN
was made about.7 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, the run being made through coun-
try OF interesting scenery bringing into
view every four mills new and growing
towns, of which Richardson, 553 miles
from st. Paul. may be mentioned as a
sample. The town is only a year old, has
$50 population, a handsome depot, church
school house, two hotels, stores and hand
some dwellings. The architecture Of some
of the houses would reflect credit upon St
Anthony hill, or any of the fashionable
portions of ST. Paul. About .. N.
Dickinson, 5S4 miles from st. Paul, was
reached, and stop of an hour was made,
passing here the east and west bound pas
senger trains of the N. P. r. R. Upon
the arrival of the latter the excurstionists
were greatly gratified TO be able to pro
cure the DAILY GLOBE of Monday and
Chicago papers of Sunday. Dickinson
