MICHIGAN'S HARVEST.
The Yield of Corn, Oats. Potatoes
Etc.

ASSOs
For this report as made to the State
Department returns have been received
from 7S9 correspondents representing
629 townships. Five hundred and four
of these returns are from 81 townships
in the southern four tiers of counties.
AREA SEEDED TO WHEAT.
The area seeded to wheat this fall is
estimated at three per cent. less than
was seeded in 1881, and the condition
is estimated at ninety-two per cent,
the comparison being with vitality and
growth of average years.
THE CORN CROP.
The number of acres Of corn raised
in Michigan in the year 1881, as re-
ported to the department by the super
visors, was 773, 533, yielding nearly 81
100000 bushels. The acreage was
greater than any previous year, but the
aggregate yield was less than in 1880
or in 1879. The acreage in 1882, e,ti-
mated by correspondents in June, on
the basis of the acreage in 1881, was
nearly $4,000, acres. The yield per
acre, as estimated November /, is 68
bushels of ears, or about "a bushels of
corn, indicating an aggregate product
of about 27,500,000 bushels. Though
corn was fully matured at the time of
the first frosts, yet it is evident that
the crop as whole has not been ma
terially damaged.
The area in oats in 1881 was 465, 1868
acres, and the yield 1882 ,706 bushels.
The acr cage this year was about 49,
600 acres, and the yield 15,400,000
bushels, or upwards of $4,000 bushels
more than produded in 1881. The
figures for 1882 are based on the cor
respondents estimate of acreage made
in June, and the returns frem thrash
ing machines made in September and
October.
CLOVER SEED.
Both the acreage and yield per acre
of clover seed are less than in 1881.
BEEF-PoTAToEs- ETC.
Potatoes are estimated to yield one
fourth more per acre On an acreage
eleven per cent. greater than that of
1881. The estimates on the condition
of beef cattle and sheep, and the prob
able yield of winter apples, are SUBJ
stantially the same as in October.
WHEAT MARKETED.
Reports have been received of the
quantity of wheat marketed by farmers
during the month of October at 302
elevators and mills. OF these, 247 are
in the southern four tiers of counties,
which is about one-half of the whole
number of elevators and mills in these
counties. The total number of bushels
reported marketed is 1906 68, of
which 310,016 bushels were marketed
in the first or southern tier of counties;
544. 632 bushels in the second tier; $685.
026 bushels in the third tier; 375 1872
bushels in the fourth tier, and S07, 066
bushels in the counties north of the
southern four tiers. At thirty-four
elevators and mills, or eleven per cent.
of the whole number from which re-.
ports have been received, there was no
wheat marketed during the month.
The total number of bushels reported
marketed in the four months, July,
August, September and October, is A.

When, Where and How to Secure Vest
ern Farm Homes.
American Agriculturist.

Do not go west with family, unless
you have money enough to make a
fair start.
Do not borrow money to go west
The majority of those we have met in
their western homes, who have failed,
have been those who came on borrowed
money, or without enough funds to en-
sure send-Otf.
After reading this article, select such
region as you think you will like best.
People generally prefer to keep in the
same latitude they have lived in.
Go in the spring and get acclimated.
Take as little baggage and as few
hcirlocms as possible. They cost mon
ely for freight, and in addition are apt
to be an incumbrance in a new home.
If you are able to do so, you better
first go out and explore before taking
your family with you.
Do not attempt to explore too much.
We have met people beyond the Mis-
souri, river who had visited nearly all
the land grants, and the more they
had travelled, the more unsettled they
were as to where they should locate.
Decide upon your climate and local
ity, and then select your land. If you
wait too long, you are apt to become
very much unsettled.
Do not go west if you have a sick
family. Change of climate may bene-
fit them, but it is not worth while to
take the chances.
Do not go west expecting not to be
homesick for your mountain scenery,
your forests and your streams, which
present such contrast to the monoto-
ny of endless prairies. 1t may be
very lonely at first, but you will soon
plant your own trees, have pleasant
surroundings and near neighbors.
Do not go expecting to become rich
Immediately. Several years of good
crops may be required to place you in
easy circumstances.
If you are clerk on small salary
in the city, and have few hundred
dollars ahead, give up your clerkship
and strike out for the western lands.
There is no very great amount of ex-
perience required in cultivating these
prairies.
If you have abundance of money,
settle on the lands in the near west.
If your funds are comparatively linn
tied, go on still further, where as good
lands can be purchased at lower fig
ures.
