The Cast OF Ra isiny Grain.

The Lsiger of March 26 IN Contained a
per tush;l by one OF the farmers OF this county
/ am happy 10 saw that Mr.. Norris is not only
a practical farmer but clearly understands the
cost of raising grain. This is matter which
in nv estimation should not only engage the
atteltion of all farmers, but more especially
these who rent land. Now Mr.. Norris says the
actual cost Of raising a tushel o. corn is 80
cents. If the farmer who owns the land incu~s
a cost of 80 cents per bushel aud salis it for 20
cents, you will readily unde stand that he has
made a prof of 10 cents per bushrl But let
US on the other hand, see the POSITION the renter
finds himself in. IL. plants his corn aud finds
that i, costs him 50 cents per bushel TO ras' it
He then ha' 10 pay a. rent, ons half TO his
landlord, which costa 30 cents and his half
costs him 80 cents He then sells his half for
40 cents and finds that his entire crop has
breug ht him in debt, just 90 cents on the bushe:
10 cents on the half hich he pays to his land
lord, and 10 cents for his half.
Now Mr.. Norris fu Iher says that wheat can
be raised for 81 cents per hushel. In 1884
heat sold in the city of Baltimore for 80 cent.
per hushel. The landlords half costs the ten
ant 81 cents per bushel to raise it and his hall
costs him 81 cents. He then sells it for 80 cents,
incurrirg deb, on the entire crop of 80 cents
on the bushel. Now Mr. Editor il is u concsd-
ed fact, tina, if farming don't pay, ell other
classes of business tecome seriously affected -
Because, agricuI ure is to-day the MASTER " heel
Of all the business interests Of the country, and
when it becomes ST, gna1t, "ll other classes OF
business are practically in the same si,uatio on
Now let us suppose Tor eI lmple, thar the ten
ant raises l 900 bushels of corn. 1t will costs
him $500, being a the rate of 80 cents q bushe
10 raise it. He then sells his half, 500 bushels
for 40 cents, and his commission merchant tor
wards him his check for 5000, losing on hi:
entire crop, inst 500.
Now what must he done to enable the farmer
10 raise his corn at Is cents, and his wheat a
IS cents per bushel. He is compelled to or ~
it at these fpures, if not, he will be 4 loser

The Scarcity of Prevende-.

The following from the Centreville Record
Queea Anne's, aud We give these views for the
benefit OF those who desire to profit by them :
The Sc rcity Of provsnder of ali descriptions
among farmers in this section is one OF the
features of the present backward spring. Two
reasons are assigned for this scarcity; first, the
continued drought last fall, and the long severe
winter which followed. While these state
ments are absolutely true, farmers arc to some
extent responsible for this state of affairs, and
they can learn therefrom timely lesion for
the future. Our farmers pay too little attsn-
ton to rAisin, and curing hay, and had farmers
o. other sections been half As neglectful OF this
crop stock might have suffered and The hun
deed. of tons OF hay purchased in Cecil county
and elsewhere by the farmers of this section
could not have been Supplied. There are few
sections here the soil is better adapted TO
raising hay than this immediate locality yet
it seems that farmers prefer 10 uurchas, than 10
raise hay. Every dollar expended hy Il farmer
for hay or provender of any kind is just so
much 81 his capita STOCK taken out % MS ousl-
ness, besides the reductisn of prcht, in raisln =
stock. Hay far ming has paid better for the
past three or four years than grain farming,
and here is " here farmers could learn Il prohIa-
BILE lessons. y hay dealer informed Record
representative II few days ago that there h I'd
been near 200 tons of b led by brought 10
this county alone, hy rail AMI water, al an
average cost of about Sl9 per ton. to supply
the necessities of our citizens. Much OF this
hay has been sold farmers in the ueis hbor-
hooi, who have been compelled TO purchase
This cash expenditure should and could have
been keptat home had our farn,rs given atten-
ton to raising hay. The county and subordi-
nate grange organization should take up this
question AMI silt it through.

Levin Mitchell, of the High School AT
Gardenville, Baltimore county, who was ap-
pointed asubstitute clerk in the Baltimore posts

them, futile was selected The remaining three
names, with the next man in grade, were sent
in, aud Gourley was chosen. The three left,
of whom Mitchell was one, we're again sent in

consos were going up, when prices OF wheat
began declining in the same proportion the

were received. Afterward, there was further
decline of a cent bushel, but ist before the
