This question has been asked very often, but
here is the way to answer it.
Nh, of Garrard county, Kentucky,
rented forty-fve acres Of wheat land last
fall, for which he agreed to pay slS5, being
SO, per acre. He broke it up himself, with
two horse pillow ibid not hire anybody to do
it) sowed ON ii about rs bushels of Alabama
wheat, which cost him $3.50. The rent Of
land, the wheat, and putting in, cost him about
$500.
Now for results lie harvested and threshed
his crop few weeks since, and sacked from
the machine l,l25 buehels Of wheat, which he
sold for 81 $50. Now deduct the expenses
say $3.50, and we have let as clear profit,
1000.
The land upon which this crop was raised
could be bought for $50, per acre, so the pro-
oeeds of this single crop precisely paid for
the land, except the expenses. Mr.--,
could have bought this land ON twelve months
time, and paid for |, almost with single crop.
Does farming payG Judicious, good, careful

grunt about hard times, and the hard lot Of
the farmer. Better than all our friend
Nh, has the $1,000 in bank now,
to his credit for wheat is gold and be
got the cash for il on delivery. Stop growl-
ing, SOW your wheat right, let II follow clover
and in few seasons you will find out that
this section of Kentucky is as fine wheat

Fruit SHOW.

In the fall of 1870, few of our most en-
thusiastic fruit growers met in the courthouse,
bringing with them specimens of all the vari-
cites of fruit they had, Of the apple family
only. Such a collection Of apples we had
never seen before, or since. Let us have an
other such exhibition next month. These are
beneficial meetings and will have tendency
to create greater love for the cultivation Of
fruits. The present season is one Of an almost
unprecedented character. Every orchard is
full. Even small trees which never bore fruit
before have specimens upon them, and ths va
rieties can all be exhibited. With Gentry and
Murphy and Pennington and Hays, and Holtz-
claw and Bastin, and a host Of Others, We can
make a magnificent display. Let us have a
preliminary meeting next week, and fix upon
a day about September 25th. What say all

had been placed upon the new list of Post
Office Money Order offices, and that il would
go into effect the first of July last. Since the

ask our friend and former representative in

this neglect, and take such steps as he may be
enabled, TO at once secure for them this much
needed Post Money Order Office.
