Ollter Dalrymple, the great Western
wheat grower what plnck and
steady purpose of mind will accom
lIIsh.o
"We occupy most of our agricultural
rpace this week with an article from
the Hearth and Home: Details of the
great Dalrymple wheat farm in Min
nesota. If our readers are as much
delighted with its perusal as we have
been, they will not find fault with
Its length. '
Being In the northern region of
Minnesota, we thought to visit Mr
Dalrymple and his wheat farm. We
wished to see the man who had turned
over twenty hundred acres of prairie
sod, and brought fourth forty-five
thousand bushels or Minnesota wheat.
Wetook the afternoon train from the
little inland village of Farmington to
Hastings, twenty miles below ht.
Paul, on the west bat k of the Missis
sippi. A ten cent rerry nae took us
over the great river; thence we cross
the narrow timber bottom; thence
up a winding ravine, and we emerge
Upon the broad prairie that forms the
high delta between the St, Croix and
the Mississippi. Half a mile onward
and we bring up before a neat story-and-a-half
cottage, with wings and
porticoes extending from the side and
end.' A few acres of smooth prairie
lawn, set out with trees, are enclosed
with the house, and forty acres with
the stable to the right. On all sides
beyond are seen wide billows of dark,
fresh turned soil. This we thought,
must be the great Dalrymple farm ;
but first we must see the Colossus
himself. A knock at a little side
door was answered by a tall, slight,
youngish looking man in slippers.
."Is Mr. Dalrymple at home?"
c "That is my name sir."
"Mr. Oliver Dalrymple?
"Exactly bo."
Our Colossus was diminished. Our
Imaginary stiflT backed, strong armed
giant was reduced to a courteous young
gentleman, "gentle as a woman."
' We were made at home in a mo
ment, and before the cold had passed
from our fingers, we were well under
way with the story of his farm work
and wheat raising. He had finished
his fall plowing, he said, of two thou
sand acres the day before ( November
12th), and his work for the year was
over. His thirty fat horses could now
have a rest until spring, and he him
self would soon be on his yearly round
among his friends and the cultivated
cities of the East.
Mr. Dalrymple Is yet a bachelor of
thirty-eight summers, of frank, intel
ligent face and Southern type of man
ners. He belongs to that rare and
fortunate class in whom the ideal and
the practical blend; who readily
adapt means to ends; who easily ac
complish great results; who seem, in
a remarkable degree, to be posessed of
the genius of success. He is a trans-
oendentalist by natuae, living his own
life, and carrying out his own ideas.
He affects no style ; sets up no preten
tions; is the least assuming of all
about his farm. His cottage is plain
without, but richly ordered within.
Books, papers, pictures, comfortable
lounges, and.easy chairs meet the eye
in every corner. Two ebony children
from the South have charge of his
housekeeping. "Aunt Minnie," a
" most wise, obliging, and cheerful
young Alabama girl of fitty, looks
after the kitchen, while the comely J
Atnanua greets an menas ana visit
ors with a face bubbling over with
kindness and pleasentry.
Mr. Dalrymple talks freely of his
farming achievements, but rarely al
ludes to his personal history. He is
of Bootch parents ; born and raised a
farm boy till seventeen, in Warden
Co., Pa. He was three years at Yale,
taking a practical course of studies,
and attended law and sclentlflo lee
turcs.lS5S, he decided to try his for,
tunes beyond the Mississippi, whither
the great current of fresh American
lisp was then flowing. He reached
the border settlements of Minnesota
ta early fprlng.He didn't wait for
clients or business to find him, but at
once threw himself into the spirit of
Western life, and sought him out a
farm.
His first work, after a week's travel
about, was planting corn for a neigh
bor to get money to buy a beetle and
wedges ; thence he 6et to splitting
rails, and putting up & log shanty on
his preemption claim, eight miles
from the infant village of Rochester.
He got forty acres ploughed, hiring
the money at three per cent, a month.
In the fall, he made forChatfield, the
hub of Minnesota land excitement,
and opened a law and land office
with ten cents capital. Other capital
soon came to him for investment, and
he loaned money and located land
warrants at five percent commission,
clearing often over a hundred dollars
a week.
In 1S-J9. he opened his office at St,
Paul. In five years he held a cash
balance of $30,000. He had had enough
he said, of pettifocrtrinz and claim col
lections, and he now resolved to grati
fy his taste and inclinations out of
to dpmnn-
strate'two things:'
1st That capital and labor could be
applied successfully to wheat raising
on a laree scale.
2d. That a man could be farmer
and not a slave.
With these two distinct ideas before
him. he set about to work them out,
mindless of old rules and precedents.
Within a vear he bought two thou
sand acres of the best wheat land,
onnosite Hastings, and near Point
Douglas, paying from $7.50 to $15 an
acre. It was smooth, high, undula
ting prairie, without a bush or tree,
that had only wild crass and flowers.
and fed deer and partridges for thou
sands of successive years. 1 he sur
face 6oil is a dark, warm, vegetable
loam, two feet deep, and mixed with
clay, lime, and sand. It has a deep
clav subsoil, resting on lime rock
strata.
. . ' m . a -1
The location 13 giignuy ana
accessible, and is admirably described
by the rapturous "Gail Hamilton" in
her Wool Uathcrtng auveniures oi
three years ago. Gall s little sheep
family, by the war, has long since
been dismembered, and the location
of her sheep farm, a mile out of Hast-
incrs. become mostly unknown to the
DeoDle there
In June, 1S6T, Mr. Dalrymple put
in fifteen breaking teems, with six
heavy horses each. They turned
mile loner furrows, sixteen inches
wide, and two and half deep. In
forty-two days he had seventeen hun-
L - . 1 I A.
dred acres "unaer piougu," at an
average cost of $3 an acre. He fenced
his farm in three divisions: one or a
thousand acres, and two of five hun
dred each. He set fourteen miles of
oak post fence four boards high, at a
cost of &00 a mile. The larger divi
sion, where he resides, he calls his
"Orant farm." and the other two his
"Sherman" and "Sheridan" farms.
His stables and train houses are 60 by
30 feet each, with shed and storing
apartments on both sides. He uses
his own farm Implements, and uses
the best. He has thirty stout horses,
averaffinsr 1,200 pounds each, and
worth $500 a span. He has pet names
for all; and keeps them fat. He hires
his other force of work horses as
needed. He has fifteen farm wagons.
and three private carriages for himself
and friends, lie keens two cows lor
milk and cream. With the exception
of a hundred acre natch of clover and
timothy, and a trifle of gardening, he
crops only wheat, beed time ana
harvest only require his attention ; he
is his own man, he says, nine months
in the year.
He keeps two responsi-
r liia "dron form"
ble vounir men on his "Grant farm
at all times ; also the two ever-trusty
and cheerful ebony girls. He has an
eighty acre wood-lot bordering his
prairie, equal in profit, he says, to two
acres of wheat.
Mr. Dalrymple attaches special im
portanee to seed sowlug and sowing
early. He commences about the 12th
of April, and dispatches the whole in
two weeks. He uses twelve broadcast
seeders, which are followed by twenty
four drag teams. All move together
In battalion order, under one supervi
sion. His horses are in gooa trim,
the men make long daj-s, and all are
cared for generously. He puts in a
bushel and a half of Scotch-fife wheat
to the acre. His last spring's seeding'
took an even three thousand bushels,
and was finished in exactly twelve
days.
Harvesting is the great event of the
vear. and calls out tne true JJairvm
pie talent and directi ng energy., i he
idea is to secure the largest measure
of results in the shortest space of
time; to get the harvesting finished,
the wheat to market, and the money
in pocket, while others are dawdling
along under barn covers, or watching
their field stacks in terror of fires and
equinoctials. Two weeks before bar
vest, he advertises in St. Paul for one
hundred and twenty-five men at2.50
day. He has no trouble In recruit
ing good men who have worked in
the prairies or on river rafts. They
like the excitement of great numbers.
Harvest opens early In July. Fifteen
lour-horse JUC 'UormicK reapers move
into the field together, following each
other side by side, like the flight of
wild geese thro the air. Jsinty bin
ders swarm on these tracks, working
in sections of a mile. They are fol
lowed by shockers, setting up bundles,
by twos and twos, in numbers of
twelve. A mounted overseer directs
the whole. It is an inspiring 6ight
fifteen broad armed reapers plunging
into a sea of waving grain. Men and
horses do their best. If one falls be
hind, another takes his place. Every
thing is provided for, and no time lost.
Horses are washed and well groomed
at night. Men go Into the field at
sunrise, and are called to dinner at 11 ;
lunch is taken out at 4, and supper
ready at dark. All feed at one table
in the long rear wing. Aunt Minnie
and Amanda have ample help, and
are radiant with added kitchen glories,
and two dollars a day. Hundreds of
visitors come from afar to witness the
reat harvest spectacle. In two weeks
the battle with the reapers are over.
and sixty thousand wheat stacks
checker the wide harvest fields.
There Is no stacking. When the
reapers have finished, the whole force
of men and teams are turned over to
the threshing machines and market
wagons. Four ten-horse power and
two steam power machines are moved
into line and ready for work. The
wheat is drawn straightway from the
shocks, put through the machines,
emptied into bags, loaded on wagons,
drawn to the river, lifted in the eleva
tor, run through the cleaner, spouted
nbarges, shipped to Milwaukee, and
sold on arrival. All this goes on each
day, as one act, under one system of
direction. Every night the machines
are moved to new stations, and the
fresh straw burned. The men get
two dollars a day during the thresh
ing period, and Work as many hours
as nature and daylight Will ' properly
aiiow. in iwi'iveui uiieen uuys me
work of the threshers aud market
wagons is ended.
Fall plowing is a simple affair with
Mr. Dalrymple, and requires no extra
supervision. J.t follows close uj on
upon the threshing, one manager
ooking after all. Twenty two-horse
ploughs are put into the stubble field
together. They move in order and in
section? three miles about, turning a
furrow twelve inches wide, and each
year a little deeper than before, to
reach fresh soil. They cut sixty acres
day, and require two months of
average fall weather to complete the
.whole. Mr. Dalrymple pays $50 a
month for this season of work, not
exceeding ten hours a day. With the
completion of th ploughing, the
work season closes, and "BiUy," ami
"Tom," and "Tauey," aud "Jerry,"
are stripped of their shoes, and turn
ed loose in the forty acre stable lot, to
fly their heels and switch their tails
In unrestrained enjoyment, till April
breezes have returned again upon the
hills. No ghosts of horses have ven
tured on tho farm for more than two
years.
The average cost of raising wheat
on good Minnesota wheat lands, at
last summer prices of labor on the
Mississippi, is figured by Mr. Dalryra-
Ide, at fifty cents a bushel, or ten .dol
ars un acre. The items of expense
per acre include stubble plouching
$2; seed wheat, $1.50; sowing, $1;
cutting. $1: binding, etc., $2.25;
threshing, etc.. $2.50. With cheap
ened transportation, an the West must
have, Mr. Dalrymple thinks the ave
rage price or wheat on tne Mississippi
cannot fall below a dollar a bushel.
Mr. Dalrymple gives the following
results of his three summer recrea
tions':
His crop from seventeen hundred
acres in 1867 harvested twenty-one
bushels to the acre, and netted him
$10,000. over and above the entire
cct of his land, ploughing, fencing,
seeding, ana an me iauor empiojeu.
His crop from seventeen hundred
! acres in 1KG8 harvested twenty -three
bushels to the acre, and netted him
$40,000 at home, above the cost of
production.
His crop from twenty nunurea acres
- . .
in 18G0 harvested twentv-two and a
half bushels to the acre. and. netted
him i25.000 above the cost of raising.
Addinir the present cash value of
his farm (&S0.000). and the net profits
of his three years' wheat growing ex
ceed $150,000. Not a bad exhibit for
a vouncr man. who twelve years ago.
was earning his beetle ana weages
out am one the iropher wilds.
Mr. Dalrymple is a progressionist,
and Is maturing plans for wider enter
prises, lie will soon cive tne poraer
Minnesotians a lesson in stock raising.

In which you ask il I have-any objections to sending
f oil, for publication, the facts I am acquainted with
n relation to the character of the WaUrr trrape. f
have never lndorsel the character or usefulness ot

W titer ffrrrpe. will meet te prejudices wtdewpread
th ouirbout the conotry, eausl by the worthless ness
in mKt localities of many of its predecessors. Sec
ond, twww. I can say from personal observation
th it the Walter is the best varietr I have had anv
kr owieage or. ana 1 minr 1 nave cultivated nearly
all that have been recommended, discarding them
all and falling back upon the Concord and Hartford
Proliticas vineyard varieties. I am intvrmiwi in
kr owing thai the fruit of the Walter grows lancer
ea -h year as the vine grows ol4er, being last year
fu; ly one-third larevr than U was two years ao It
grows well ; sets fnrit wll. I have seen it ripe Sev
ern limes Deiore Maniora, ana 1 nave never seen
any mildew on its fmit or on its lante and thick, but
IK la ware shaped foliage. The flavor of thefruit I
th nk superior to any other variety. Yoa sar in
your circular It is a seedling of the Delaware'and
Diana; I think thecharacter of each of these varie
ties is quite tlistintrui.shable In the UVfi-r, particu
larly that of the lMflaware. I aintf think it would
m ike a wine of hiirh character. I have visited it
annually since It first bore, six years ao, three times
in Clster Co., N. Y in a low valley, where the Isa
beJa seldom ripens, and each time'it was fully ripe
In Ausrut. I have seen it each of the ti see past sea
bo is in Pouhkeepnie, ripening at the same time,
exsepting last year, when the constant rains pre
vented ail varieties from maturing at tlwir Bfnal
til le, but it perfected its fruit by the middle of Sep
tember. The raisins of the hist mentioned crop I
ha ve seen and eaten, which were good. Prom its
Btticeding in the low valley and tenacious clay ot
M idena. and also in the dry slater position In
PtuehkeepMe, I think it will be well adapted to the
varied sections of our country. You may make
