SOME GENTLEMEN FARMERS.

He has seventy head Of cattle. 200 sheep,
sixteen horses, and twenty-five swine.
The exten: OF land Is 800 acres. Last year
20Dtons of hay were cut, cesting tile pro.
prietor not much more than double the
market price. More than 1000 bushels 81
corn We're raised at an estimated loss Of SD
cants pound, and, therefore, ought to be
ofgood quality. His pork is estimated at
20 cents pound, and chickens al So il pair
7S~cciiers last year raised about $4,000
bushels of onions on his Peekski.i farm.
They cost him 81 so a bushel. according to
estimate, and Ms the market pricein this
city was 81. any one can see how much is
made. Beecher eail send beef to the New
York marketat50 cents q pound, and car
raise cats at rs low a mark as 50 hlishe.
His bu&er is reckoned at 81 25 u pound.
and his eggs at 20 cents dozen. He
cleared $4,000 bylecturing last winter,
and II lie maintains such All income he
will lie allie to continue farming.
Cough lectures five times week, his
fee being $500. He has farm in Wor-
cester, which Mt one time contained l75
acres. He has no nochildren, but his ex-
penses are very heavy, and, to bring
matters in snug shape, he sold part of
his land. and reduced the farm 10 125
acres. whichis as extensive as his income
will admit. a few years ago lis wife,
who was 4 YANKEE girl, undertook ioraise
fancy fowis. Wiileh somesay are very pro-
fitah!e. Size gVi up gery nice variety,
and II 4 ratlIer reasonabie expense, for tile
s.hanglla:s lid mot cnst more than SIS il
pair. The Cochin Chinas were little
cheaper, aud hanta,ns colIld lie rated n
from $25 10 $40. After stnckinfi the place
with these raie birds, Cough IL rs said,
found that ifthey were to lie kept mp he
would "be obliged 10 lecture on Sundays
Ms well as on weekdays To make n living.
When il costs SIS to winter Il chicken u
a nian needs good income. The system
Was, therefore, changed; the fowls were
abolished, and regular crops were tried
with decided success. AS long as Coughs
rye!,lo~ not cost more than S. per bushel.
ami tile other crops are kept at an equally
reduced rate. his present income will en-
able him to live ia very decent manner.
There is nothing like farming life for
men who have plenty Of nlpney. .
