Dr. Irenmus Prime, once of the New York Observer. It contains some 800 acres, is in a high state of cul- tivation, and is one of the show places of the county, It is not unusual for trains containing several thousand sheep from California to be switched off here, landed and recruited by a few days of rest and pasturage on the farm before being delivered over to the cattlemen in Chicago.
