The Big DairympIe Farm.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.

A Tribune reporter encountered
Oliver Dalrymple, proprietor of the
famous Dalrymple farm, at the Mer
chants yesterday. In regard to wheat
raising this year Mr.. Dalrymple said :
II shall put in 10000 acres of wheat
this year. Seeding is already far ad-
vanced and last Saturday saw the last
of 1900 of the $4,000 acres intend
10 sow put in. The season never was
more advantageous, nor the ground in
better condition for seeding than it is
now. There has been no snow on
the prairie to speak of, and consequent
ly no water to retard the progress of
the farmers In their spring work. The
wheat put in this year is known as
the Scotch fife variety; l consider 1t
the best yielding seed that l car get.
l anticipate that the acreage of Min
nesota and Dakota this year will be
about as large as it was last. The
farmers seem to be IN good condition
and good spirits and with a bright
outlook for a good crop they will seed
all the land they can. l am counting
on an average yield next fall of elgh-
teen bushels an acre. OF course this
is ali visionary, but that was about my
average last year and I am figuring
out this. This year will make the
tenth crop l have raised in Dakota,
and have averaged 90 cents a bushel
for my wheat Of course some has
been more and some less, but think
l can safely put the average at 90
cents. | don't think it will be neces-
sary for me to increase my number of
machines TINS year what l have are
In good condition. Next fall | shall
run 200 harvesters, if the crop turns
out as expect it W II, and this will
necessltate the employment of 500
horses and 1000 men. Advances
we're made to me some time ago by
the Canadian Pacific Railroad Com
pany to open up a large farm in the
Saskatchewan Valley, for the purpose
of demonstrating the advantages of
that country as wheat raising region,
but concluded Dakota was good
enough for me and propose to stay
by her. She has undoubtedly the
richest soil to be found in any part of
the United States. Western Missouri
and Southeastern Nebraska, 1 think,
comes next. We have had a fine
winter In the Territories. Stock has
wintered splendidly. The farmers
have been comfortable, and everybody
seems to be satisfied"

How to Break a BaIky Horse

Correspondence of the Country Cent eman
often see inquiries and answers
relating to balky horses. will give you
my recipe, which never fails, one that |
have used always with success, and
very simple When a horse balks in a
wagon, cart or carriage, l have him
taken out, the harness taken off,
except the bride, boy or man put on
the animals back, with instruction to
make him move lively tor ten minutes
up and down the road. Atthe expiration
of that time l put on the harness and
hitch up, and the animal goes all right.
it may have to be done once or .wice
more, whenever the hitch-up after
meals takes place. A farmer near me last
summer had nice, young 4-year old
horse, which worked steadily from
spring till midsummer then the horse
having had long rest, when put to
work again would not draw. He
tried him some days and then told me
that he was going to send that horse
to Baltimore to be sold because
it would not work | told him what
to do. Three days after, I saw him
again, and he said that he followed
my directions and the horse worked
all right. There is no use to beat or
otherwise Ill treat balky horse. The
simplest and best way is to do what |
have recommended, as all horses will
60 under the saddle, and some of the
mettle is taken out of them during the
ride. have seen horses strapped and
thlown down several times in success
sion, and yet they did not go. Anew
York man, living IN this section three
years ago, ii his horse would not pull,
would jerk out fence stake and knock
1t down. Once went out and offered
to buy the old horse to save 1t from
such cruelty, but he would not sell,
The favorite resort with most farmers
is good long hickory switch, one man
to hold the plow, and a boy to use the
switch, which is kept very busy.

Tim PRAIRIE FARMER givesthe fol.
lowing advice on the subject of seed
corn: 'After the experience of the
past two seasons few corngrow-
ers ought to need little urging to put
their seed corn TO severe test before
planting time. To plant poor seed is
to waste time, money, and labor. A
good way to determine the terminating
power of seeds is TO place kernels from
considerable number of ears, from
tip, middle and butt of each, keeping
them separate; place in earth in box,
pan or other convenient receptacle and
and keep moist in a warm room. Or
place the kernels between moist lay
ers OF cotton batting or pieces of wool
en- cloth. Keep at near 90 degrees OF
temperature, and moist. In forty-eight
to seventy-two hours one can tell
wherther sufficient percentage will
grow or not. There are many other
ways of testing. VIII readers tell US
their approved methods, if they have
better than thesea"

NORMAL NOTES.

Prof. Blanton has been away from
town since Friday last; returned Tues.
day evening.
The state examinations closed FRI
day, for the present. The classes will
be examined on two or four subjects,
sometime towards the close OF the
term.
So much of the tune. as yet, has
been, not only cool, but cloudy, we
have not felt the wooing influences Of
the spring sun, endeavoring to draw
us from our studies, as it does some
times. A sufficient number of flowers
have put forth, however, to give the
Botany classes chance to begin the
work of analyzing. To the true stu
dent OF nature the study of botany
presents an ever increasing fountain of
knowledge fir ON which to draw fresh
inspiration. 1t is the study Of the
divine plan from first to last. How
few there are that thoroughly under
stand the science as they should! And
still fewer appreciate its beauty and
usefulness as they ought The sweetest
gems OF poetry; the loftlest strains OF
eloquence, are not more wonderful
than the modest flowers that spring up
on every hillside, and IN every quiet
nook.
The reader will please bear in mind,

Kindness to Animals.


That animals appreciate kind treat
ment requlres no further proof than is
exhibited IN every look and act of the
animal itself. 1t takes but few min
utes for the temper of the master to be
impaired to the animals in his charge.
II he goes to the yard with a club in
hand and boisterous words and oaths
in his mouth, there will soon be COM
motion in the entire yard the strong
er animals will commence TO gouge
and hook at the weaker, and there is
general spirit of anger and dissatis-
faction manifested at every point.
Now, the farmer who creates such a
feeling among the dumb beasts, which
have been committed to his care and
keeping is to be pitied. 1t was never
intended that, though the weaker
should be subject TO the stronger, it
should be ruled as with rod of iron,
but in the spirit of kindness.
How much pleasanter it is for the
farmer to enter his yard and have the
ANIMALS confined therein manifest a
show Of pleasure at his approach, as
though expecting a kind word or
caress, than to start away as though
in expectation of harsh word or kick.
Kindness pays at all times. Inspire
confidence IN animals let them know
that you are their protectors, and the
willingness with which they will obey
will be very marked. Another thing
an animal or animals that repose in
quiet are much more easily kept thar
those that are kept in state of ner,
vous excltability by harsh treatment
The principle Is illustla ated in the case
of mich COWS. Their flow of milk
may be arrested and very mucn i'm.
prded by harsh language, or kicking
or grounding, when in the stable. l
the best results would be obtained BY
those who have stock in their charge
kindness to them must be observed

THE CLEVELAND BOUQUET.
AN INTERESTING SCENE AT THE FULTON,
MO-, syNoDIcAL COLLEGE.


Especial Dispatch to Globe Democrat
FULTON. Mo-, April 3o.-Somewhat
OF a furry was caused here yesterday
among our towspeople, and especially
among the young ladies of the Synod
ical Female College, when it was an
nounced that President Grover Clcve-
land had forwarded handsome bou-
quet to be presented to the best read
er among the young ladies of the in
stitution. Such attention in the midst
of rushing business and while surround
ed by bowling office-seekers is abun-
dant proof that the bachelor Presi-
dent still has kind and tender feeling
for the gentler sex, and especially for
young ladies In a boarding. school. 1t
was also taken as a proof that he has
not entirely forgotten the State, but
that his course has been such as to
promote the interest of the whole
country by keeping her office seekers
at home and cultivating the acquain-
tance of her young ladies. At 2
o'clock this afternoon a number of
visitors and friends OF the college as
sembled in the chapel in the presence
of the school, to hear the young ladies
read. President Charles announced
that thirteen of the young ladies had
consented to enter the contest DIR.
7. R. H. Smith. Rev. VIM. H. Mar.
guess, Hon. John A. Hockaday, S.
| T. Harrison and Elder F. w. Allen
were selected as judges. The young
ladies made their own selections, anc
all read well. The committee, after
the first reading was concluded, select
ed 1.-THE Union" and an extract from
Webster's reply to Hayne for each o
f the girls to read. When this was con
cluded the committee decided in favol
of Miss Peissle Nesbit, whose selec
ton had been "Whlstling in Heaven.
The flowers arrived from Washington
just as the reading was concluded, anc
were presented by Gen. Hockaday il

THE ANE6icAH AGRICULTURE
A New Portrait of General Grant,
and the Weekly Graphic for $3.50

The American Agrlculturist has just ssued q
magnificent stipple style line portrait OF General
Grant, executed by one o. the very first artists In
the country. The greart warrior Is sitting in an
easy chair, in his now famou library: the express
sien on his countenance is exceedingly lIfe-like,
and the whole pic ture is and striking in APP
pearance, far surprising any previous likeness OF
General Grant. Its great merit is due to the fact
that 1t is from General Grants last sitting, prio
TO the final prostrstiOI; that is II presents him as
a picture ofhealth Just before the fatal disease
compelled him to withdraw form til. world, Other
portraits, while they present him in health, do not
show his features and general appearance at late
period.
1he regular price ofthe American AgricuIturi.t
is 81 80 per yaar. We have made ARRANGEMENTS
with the publisher. whereby we are enabled to
send, post-free, in tube specially made for the
purpose, this portrait of General Grant. the
American Agriculturist from now, until the l,t of
December (eight months), and the W eekly Graphic

Hollow Horn In Cattle.

The disease commonly known as
"hollow horr," has no Immediate con-
nection with the horns, as animals
without horns manifest the same symp.
toms. The disease in question is the
result of Inflammation extending from
the mucous membrane lining the nos.
trils, into the sinuses of the skull and
horns, there being a direct communi-
cation between these parts. Debility,
improper and insufficient food, ex-
posure, and all other causes that tend
to weaken the system, may give rise to
this condition. The treatment must
then be such as 20 counteract this
deficiency, and should consist mainly
of good nursing. Keep the animal
in dry, warm, well ventilated quarters.
pay particular attention to carding
and brushing, give nourishlng food,
and a little physic, if necessary. Rub
the spine frequently. Boxing the
horns is useless and barbarous, and Is
to be placed in the same category
with cutting off the tail as a remedy
for the "woIf," as still practised by the
ignorant.-Ameriean AgrifuttRrisf 10,

is drifting away from Democracy, may
it not be, that he will depend upon the
