Does Farming Pay?
The proceeds of the Stratton Farm, con-
taining 320 acres, situated two miles north-
east of Lincoln,. Nebraska, will sum up
.about as follows for.the year 1882 : .
Grains, ---Five thousand bushelaof corn,
-1,000 bushels of oats, some sugar' cane;
vegetables -250 bushels of potatoes, 10 tons
,of turnips, 3 tons of beeta,-13*Wagginiloadi -
of field pumpkins and squashes,' and an
abundance of garden- vegetables of the
finest varieties. •
Hay and pasture. -Two hundred tons of
hay ; on the farm are two fenced-0,1461ms,,
one of wire, that kept eight headiof °OM'S,
some young cattle, and would have supplied
as many more; the other of board fence,
,in which run twenty head of horses.
Fruits. -There was an , abundance of
,•grapes, also geed variety ,of small fruits,;
a lot of peaches,.. the 'first" bearing of 800
trees; a few apples gathered from an
orchard planted four years ago, consisting
'of 2,000 trees.',S '
.) Hogs. -There Were fed hogs, Of which
about 1,000 were.sold early in the fall'at
:per 100 lbs. live weight. , •
Weeds. -None were allowed to 'grew on
the farm. All the•drivee, and avenues, as
well as highways bordering onathe farm,
- of which there are .two miles and a half,'
, planted with maplesewere kept mewed and
;free from weeds; alsoa well -kept lawn,
with a good , variety of-evergreene and
••shrubbery. ' •6. '
Besides all this, theiriee in Value of the
farm would be about equal to40 Per cent.'

The Blight of Wheat. ,
Professor W. J. .Beal has been giving
•attention to the wheat blight, and, reports
his conelusions to The Michigan, Tanner.
The visitation referred to h,ae been noticed
in many fields of ;that State, involVee from,
a kernel or two to nearly the whole head;
and in some hicalitiee it is thought to have
destroyed a fifth of the:- crop The
blighted portion has brown or yellow chaff,
as though the wheat were ,ripe„ .while, the
rest is yet green. I do net attribute the
failure to a lack of fertilization. by- ,the
pollen, as in most cases the. kernels are
half-grown. Wheat is generally close far.
tilized, i. e., the pollen gets upon the stigma
of a flower before the' chaff opens. f In Buell
case.the rain would not 'likely hinder fer-
tilization. The trouble is caused by some
• one or more fungi, and which one I am not,
yet certain. I find several together ,in and.
about the kernel. There is a penicillium,
an erysiphe and many hacteria. Doubtless
some of these ocour simply as. they would
on any dwindling or decaying. plant. I

foster plant, drawing nouriahment and
establishing themselves before thefruit or

larger iiTants, show any, signs of disease.
Fungi feed on ..other plants, taking the
• nourishment already assimilated, , hence
they can grow with amazing rapidity."
