A Dakota FARM.
Eleven Thousand Acres Of Wheat
I'm One strfu.


i'm One strip.
The big Grandin wheat farm in Da-
kota comprises about 40 900 acres, of
which 1900 ARE under cultivation,
II, coo acres being sowed to wheat
There are used ON the farm Is gang
plows, two plows in gang. each cutting
Ii 10 Is inches. There are IS gang
hasrows. These are six feet square,
but are arranged side by side to work
"a feet wide One long eyener draws
the four with a pair of mules near
each end. One man drives both. The
advantage of this system Is worthy of
notice by other farmers. Ii reduces the
number of men usually re-
quired by one-half. There are
"a broadcast sewers. ssaing eight
feet each. but two of these
are attached end TO end with span of
mules before each and one man drives
both spans. another saving of hall the
man force. There are sixty-fiye self
binding harvesters employed on the
place. Modern improvements have so
perfected these that only one expert is
required for the whole, especially since
the experienced workfnen on the ma
chine are kept from year to year. and
they are able "a attend 10 any little re-
pairs. The harvesters are drawn by
/ three mules, and two men are required
% shock the bundles from each ma
chine. The thresaers. of which there
are six. are quite extensive affairs com
pared with those of former times,
or with those OF the fails or the ami
mails on the threslling iloor OF onr boy
hood.
Each one os these machines, driven
by steam power, thresheS out from
1900 Ia 900 hasheiS a day. They are
set down in the center of 100 acres OF
shocks, and, when these are threshed,
are moved 60 the center OF another 100
acres The working force ON a single
/ thresher forms quite little army.
Thus. there IN, tii'st. the general SUI

ABOUT SLATE PENCILS.
How They Are Made-The Only Fac
tory in the United States.

In the northwestern part OF the
town of Castleton, Rutland county,
Vermont, is the only mandatory
of slate pencils in the United
States. The slate rock as it comes
from the quarry is first sawed into
blocks as wide as the slate pencil
is long. These blocks are easily
split into slabs little thicker than
the finished pencil, which Is about
fve-sixteenths of an inch. These
are passed through planing ma
chine and over an emery belt,
which makes them even and
smooth. Next they are pushed
into the jaws of machine called
a "crocodile," which consists of
pair of steel plates, IN the under
one of which are six rows OF
curved knives, each being set so
as to cut a little deeper than the
preceding one. These plough out
parallel grooves half way through
the slab, which is then turned and
laid on steel plate having ridges
which just fit these grooves. This
slides back under the six rows of
teeth of another Crocodile" which
cuts the grooves on the other side
and leaves the square pencils side
by side.
They are then rounded and
sharpened by holding them on an
emery belt, and one man can thus
sharpen about 5000 day.
This factory makes 10000 pen
ellis daily, and employs 25 hands.
We might wonder where so many
pencils 90, but when we consider
that there are one or two million
schoolboys and girls, and many of
them rather careless, and that
slate pencils are easily broken, we
have no doubt the factory will
have its "hands full" to supply the
demand.
The old way Of making pencils
was to saw them out square from
the slab one by one. They were
then boxed and distributed among
poor families, who whitfield them
round by hand for about a half a
dollar a thousand.
Pencils are made from slate
much softer than the states upon
which they are used, and very nice
pencils are made from soapstone.
