A rine Farm.

The Wilmington, Del Tribune says
Mr. Henry Gerker owns about one thou
sand acres Of land near Moorton, Kent
county, Eve hundred acres Of which are in
peach trees. Last year his peach crop
proved very satisfactory. A good crop
will give him 100000 baskets. He also
manufacturedab about 1900 gallons Of peach
brandy the past season. By canning and
distilling Mr.. Gerker expects to find de-
mand for his great crop at paying rates.
He also devotes some four or FIVE hundred
acres to regular farming, and last season
his wheat crop yielded forty bushels TO the
acre. The coming season he intends
planting twenty acres of asparagus. Mr..
G, regards this peninsula as destined to
become the Garden of the Continent"
He is German by birth, and, on coming
to this country, many years ago, he COM
menced the manufacture of glue in Phila-
delphia, and by the otfal from this estab-
he enriched his land.

DoEs FARMING PARA lawyer, in
failing health, bought 1000 acres of land
near st. Paul, Minnesota, at sl2 per acre.
He confined himselfto the raising of wheat,
devoting 100 acres to the cultivation Of
that staple. His yield in 1867 was 35,-
700 bushels, gross price s53,55o, profits
Sl4,5O0. In 1868 his yield was $4,000
bushels, with net profits $50, 400. Thus
in two years his net profits, over and above
the interest on the capital invested suficed
to meet all the expenses Of building,
fencing and other Improvements, besides
returning to him all his purchase money,
while the market value Of lands and i'm
provements is to-day quite three times
their first cost.
