DOES rHE WHEAT CRop Pave

We do not believe that one farmer in
twenty can answer this question posi-
lively. NO accounts with this or any
other crops are kept, and therefore all
the estimates are mere guess work.
When will the farmers learn to keep ac-
counts? Until they do this, it Is folly
to expect them to attain any great de-
gree OF success. Now and then one
may blundeT into the cultivation of the
most profitable crops, bat this will be
the exception, not the rule.
viii not some OF our readers begin
this year to keep account with their
wheat field? Measure the fed, and set
down the number of acres, then keep A
daily account of the labor of blowing,
sowing, narrowing, and the price OF
seed. charging tor labor of themselves
and team what they could get if they
worked for others. Let the same be
done at the time of harvesting, thresh-
ing and marketing. To all this should
be added the interest on the value of
the land, and also the interest on the
cost OF seed, ,and OF preparing the ground
and sowing, for this Is money out of
pocket for year.
Any person OF tordinary capacity--any
one who knows how to raise wheat.
can keep such an account, aud strike
the balance when he makes his sales--
Until this method is adopted by the far
mer, he can not tell the profit of this as
co impaired with other crops.
Our belief is, that where land is worth
hfty dollars an acre, wheat Is not a
profitable crop, unless it turns out at
least twenty bushels to the acre. at
present prices. We would like to have
farmers make note of this, keep ac-
counts, and give us the facts at the end
Of the year.
We don't want estimates of what it
could cost to raise the crop--we have
lad too many of these already--we
want the actual matter of fact. If the
blow or the reaper is broken in the
wheat field, let both the delay and the
'ost of repairs be added TO expense of
he crop.
And while one is about it, a complete
recount OF all the farming operations
night rs well be kept. There are books
prepared for this purpose. They come
! trifle higher than ordinary account
looks, because the form is peculiar, and
he sale is limited--only few farmers
aking the trouble of keeping accounts;
nut the Oest FARMERS co it, and the num-
er Is increasing.
VIII any one who has Kept account
With his wheat crop the last year give
IS the facts We shall be glad to pub
lsh them. --JoaTnal Of agriculture.

MASONRY,
BY W. cAPERs.

Three thousand years have rolled away
Upon the tiIe of time;
Since Masonry began her march,
OF noble deeds sublime
And though the angry storms of war,
Have swept the earth with fire,
Her temple stands unscathed, unhurt,
| With sunlight OH its spire.
Old Empire, being the praise of men,
Have faded from the earth;
Kings with their thrones have passed away
Since Masonry had birth.
The scaptered monarch in his pride
Has long since met his doom,
And naught is left of his domains
But solitude and gloom.
Proud Egypt, with her wondrous arts
Her mysteries of old,
Has slept beneath the tide of time,
AS swift his current roll'd.
And Greece, with all her ancient wealth,
OF Genius and of fame,
Scarce heeds amid the nations now,
The honor of a name.
The glittering towers of Troy, to which
The foes of Priam came,
TO meet a welcome for their deeds
From lips of Spartan dame.
Have long since toppled from their bliss
And moulderd to decay;
The glory of that mighty race,
With them has passed away.
Amid the ravages that swept
The cities of the plain
Mid crumbling of imperial thrones
The fall of tower and fame;
For Masonry has still survived
The nations horrid doom;
A beacon mid the night of years,
To guild the clouds of gloom,
Thro' every age, stern bigotry
Has sought to crash her form;
But, unsubdued. she bravely met
The tempest and the storm.
The clouds of persecution fled.
Before her steady ray,
AS shades of deepest night before
The orient orb of day.
From Oriental climes she came,
TO bless the Western world
And rear her temple meath the flag
That liberty unfurled.
Fair Freedom welcomed to our shores
This maid of heavenly birth;
While thousands of our humble poor
Now own her generous worth
Ten thousand widows in their weeds
Have blest her advent here;
And many a homeless orphans heart
Has owned her tender care.
Full many u frail and erring son,
To dissipation given,
Has heard her warning voice and turned
His wayward thoughts to Heaven.
Long may her beauteous temple stand,
To light this darkened sphere;
TO gild the gloom of errors night,
And dry The falling tear.
And when the filial winds of time,
Shall sweep this reeling ball,
oh, may its glittering spires be
The last on earth to fall.

Great excitement was caused in the lower part Of

in Chambers street, near Chatham where he was
surrounded by policemen OF the First Second,
