THE GREAT WHEAT FIELD AND IT'S
PROFITS.

Mr.. T. c. Henry's wheat field, in Dickinson
county, Kansas, on the line Of the Kansas Pa
cific Railway, embracing 200 acres. returned
him clear profit of $l8.97 90. The total
yield was 26,6OO bushels, or an average Of
22K bushels per acre, which he sold at 5 .05x
per 0ushel Seven hundred acres Of this neld
were first ploughed in the fall Of 1874, and
sowed in winter wheat, tegether with Eve hun
dred acres which Were in wheat the prvviona

MORE ABOUT SORGHO SUGAR. An

Editor A7ti Monopolist :

LIE Sueur Co. Minn. The sorgho is the
common "sorgho vulgare," but think
the seed is rather higher 'colored than
any other ever saw. The color is red
brown. The cane was planted and cui-
tivated the same as corn the juice WAS
extracted with an iron mall, and boiled
in an open pan, until it showed the
proper thickness, whenit was dri pped
into barrels. Nothing was used to cIar-
ity or granulatc it; but in few days the
granules began to settle. and in three
months time it was all or nearly all gran
ulated.
The yield was 250 gal. to the acre.
