Peterson. J. W. Iliggins and Julius Aske are two former business men who are now engaged in farming. They purchased 600 acres of choice land along the Red River, five miles south of Moorhead, and are making it one of the finest farms in the county. They will en- gage extensively in stock raising and growing general farm products. There are now upon the farm several hun- dred head of Duroc-Jersey hogs and a large number of well-bred cattle. Last fall a mammoth barn, 40x120 feet in dimension, and twin silos were erected. The illustration shows the. New Barn on Farm of J. W. Higgins and Julius Aske, South of Moorhead.
