Can you imagine a wheat field of 30,000 acres? Thirty thousand acres of slender golden stems, each bearing a cluster of yellow beads, bowing and nodding as if in acknowledgment of admiring glances. If you cannot fancy such a picture, you perhaps will admit that it mu-t be one of the most sublime and fascinating scenes the human eye can witness. 1 stood this morning at the center of the largest farm in the world; the largest piece of territory ever cultivated under the direction of a single man. As far as the eye could reach, north, south, east or west, there was nothing visible hut the bluest of blue sky; the reddest of red barns, the great awk-ward-looking threshers, with their smoke-begrimed engines beside them, the whirring harvesters and miles after miles of wheat.

chinery, and there is a decided rivalry between them as to which can produce
the biggest crop.
When the plowing commences in the spring the men go out in gangs, each taking 640 acres, under the direction of a foreman, who rides along on horseback to see that the work is done properly. Everything is in military style. It is a battery ot plows, instead of artillery, and before starting they are drawn up in line and thoroughly inspected hy the foreman and machinist, to see that they are in good order. The plows are all doubled, and are drawn dv four horses. At the word of the Captain they start, and go around a field of 640 acres, which is exactly font miles in distance, ten or twelve plows abreast. At the end of the second furrow, eight miles, the plows are left in the soil, the men mount their horses and ride to headquarters for dinner. After the horses are fed they remount, return to the plows and go around the 640 acres two or three times more before supper time. At the close of the day the horses, plows and harness are inspected again, and, if any repairs are needed, the blacksmith, saddler or farrier make them during the night. The same routine is followed at seeding time and during the harvest. The self-binding harvesters throw the

section line.
Near us was a little white house, where the "store-keeper" lived—the commissary of a great army, for an army it is—and we inquired of the gentlemanly Mr. Mandell how we could get across to the office of Mr. Dairy tuple. He impressed a mule-team ihat happened to drive up for supplies and sent us to headquarters. ’ .’here was cluster of great red barns, an acre or two of cabbages, beets, onions and waving corn; a lazy-looking windmill that swung around as indifferently as if a regiment of thirsty men were not working in the lield; and a cozy cottage, plain but comfortable. We rapped at the door anil were shown Into the parlor. Ihe room was handsomely furnished, with some evidences of luxury, but no more than are found in the houses of “fore-handed” farmers
all over the West.
We asked for Mr. Dalrymple, and he came down from some room above, a slender, quiet-looking man, with a pen behind his ear, whom you would judge to be a schoolmaster or clergyman at sight. His hands were soft and white —more accustomed to the book or pen than the plow—and his face, where it was not covered with beard, was not burned so much as mine. He met us cordially, invited us to spend the day and dine, and suggested that he would

large shocks to await the wagons which transport them to threshers, which are always placed as closely as possible to the cars. After threshing, the straw is
carried away and burned.
It sounds very large, but it is nowrtheless a fact, that the plows and harvesters regularly make a trip four miles long without stopping. A furrow eight miles in length is considered a very fair morning's work, but ton miles is nothing for an afternoon's diversion. As near the center of the farm as is convenient a store-houser is placed, in I charge of a commissary and book-keep-1 er. Each day the Superintendent of a i division issues requisitions for supplies of seed, or food, or ^machinery, ami these are served upon ihe storekeeper, who keeps a double entry set of lodgers for each, and at the end of each dav’s threshing the crop returns are made to him, so that Mr. Dalrymple, at any time, by examining the books, can ascertain the expenses of every division and the crop it has produced. The profits can thus be very closely j estimated, and an experienced man can | guess within a few thousand bushels of the entire crop if he knows the yield of
any particular section.
This year it is expected that the 30,000 acres will produce 600,000 bushels of grain. The cost of production averages $7 an acre, or $210,000. The wheat is sold at an average net price ol $1 per bushel; therefore the profit of Mr. Dalrymple’s little garden in 1881, which is said to be a poor year, will be the difference between $210,00) and
costly artificial manures.
4. There is imprisoned beneath our soils an exhaustless fund of manures in the shape of gases that can only be reached by heat. These natural reservoirs of fertility are kept down by the pressure of moisture and by shade. They exist in beds of humus (vegetable mold) or in a virgin soil too deep to be reached by the plow. That they exist is known to every observant farmer, from the simple fact that soils taken from a considerable depth below the surface, as from the excavation of a well, will produce for the first year or two a very luxuriant growth. This evolution of latent foree, reached only and generally diffused by heat, makes itself beneficially apparent in the next year's crop; for old farmers will remember, with me, the drought of 1854 and the great product of 1855, and also other successive seasons of drought and
abundance.
5. A drought forces us to agricultural economies. As a class our farmers are proverbially wasteful. To a stranger it would ssem that feeding corn to hogs and hay and fodder to cattle on the muddy ground is regarded by so many of us as the perfection of husbandry, and that the burning of our straw piles is imperatively demanded by the necessary use for the next year of the ground thus occupied. It seems almost useless to denounce a practice that is so continuously and so dangerously followed by men who aspire to the reputation among their neighbors of good farmers. If this drought shall teach us to make shelter for our cattle and subsequent manure from the straw (if any remains unburned), or to lay planks or rails or poles on the ground where our hogs are fed on corn (if any of us shall liave any corn), then this much culniniated season will not have been in vain. During the last severe winter I fed anil kept fat all my horses and cattle on wheat and

“the place.
1 noticed he always called it “the
place.”
In the meantime I asked him a few questions. The first one was as to the yield this year. “It was a late spring,” said Mr. Dalrymple. "At the time when we are usually putting in a crop the place for miles around us here was covered with water, from tin* melted snow, and you could have sailed a boat over a field where now there is wheat that will yield thirty bushels to the acre. 1 feared at one time that the crop would be a failure, but am very positive now that the average per acre will not be below twenty bushels."
•Have you sold your wheat?” >lan is different from th
Our plan is different from the ordinary method. We are sending about
three train-loads a day to Duluth.” “How many bushels is that?”
“About 30,000 bushels. We load a vessel at Duluth every two days and send it to Buffalo, where it is sold on
arrival at the market price.”
*• w hut is that?”
“The price to-day,” said Mr. Dalrymple, consulting the telegram, “is $1.27 at Buffalo. Freights are about twenty-seven cents, so it nets us about
$1 a bushel.”
“V\ hat will your crop amount to?” “ I am expecting about 600,000 bushels. Resides this we have about 90,000 bushels of oats, which we keep
for our stock.”
“Do you keep stock enough to eat up | 90,000 bushels of oats?” I Mr Dalrymple smiled pleasantly and remarked that 800 horses and mules ate up a good many oats. “ How much does your crop cost
you:'”
“It costs us about $6 an acre to produce a crop when we use our own stock ami pay our men by the month, but
the winter time we send our men and horses to the lumber regions, where | they more than pay for themselves.” While the Dalrymple farm is the larg- j est, it is also the pioneer of this wouderful wheat country. When Mr. Dalrymple came here, as he told me. there was not an acre of plowed land between ! Fargo and Bismarck, a distance of more than 200 miles. The first crop was | harvested in 1871, when the entire I product of Dakota was but 250,000 bushels. This year a single county, i i Cass, of which Fargo is the capital, estimating an average crop of twenty bushels to the acre, will produce over i 3,000,000 bushels.—Fargo (l). T.) Cor.

Old Scottish Servants.
A century ago, in many Scotch families of the better class, it was customary for servants to spend a life-time in the service of one family. As might be expected, such long associations often made the old servant pert, and, at times, insolent. Dean Ramsay gives some amusing incidents of this effect. At a dinner-party, a Mrs. Murray, a neighbor, and a woman of a large estate, was among the guests. She was not, however, a favorite with Thomas, the old and spoiled servant of the family. During the dinner, the hostess noticed that her guest was looking for a salt-spoon. Thomas was told to pass her a spoon. He paid no attention to the order, which was repeated in a peremptory manner. “Last time Mrs. i Murray dined here, we lost a salt-spoon,”
I replied the old man, coolly.
An old coachman in a noble family became so troublesome that the lady gave him notice of dismissal. It was useless, for he promptly replied, “Na, nn. my lady. 1 drove ye to your marriage, and 1 shall stay to drive ye to
I your burial.”
Yet spoilt though they were, these old servants would have died rather
