Wheat UP Is Cents.

Yesterday (Nov. 81, No. 2 wheat
closed in Chicago at S74 cents bush
ell cash. The same day last year it
closed at 72s cents, an advance of full
Is cents per bushel. or Fl per cent,
which means a great deal to the pro-
ducers The profit only comes in after
one gets the actual costs of raising.
The price in the country rises and falls
with the rate in Chicago. 1t was
doubtless wise for many farmers, to rush
their grain to market during the recent
advance, that is for those who could not
conveniently carry it over to the spring
months. When prices went down they
very properly stopped selling. During
the past week the total supply of wheat
Sin sight" east of the Rocky Mountains,
including Canada, increased less than
half a million bushels with little export,
while the "visible' corn decreased tn, e,
quarters of million bushels, and the
total supply of all grains in market fell
off more than million bushels. Fur
ther, the surplus of wheati in sight above
the amount at same time last year, with
it's great crop, has fallen to less than
twelve million bushels, whereas the
excess was 81 millions when fall mark
citing opened practically decrease q
Is million bushels. Word comes now
of larger decrease in the total wheat
yield for 1885 in Russia. Consumption
of wheat is going right on, nearly Al
million bushels every week, in our
own country.

The Farm.
The Peach Orchard.

There is no large fruit which grows
in the temperate zone SO highly priced
n its season as the peach. And there
is no farm we believe in Cecil County
on which abundant crops Of this delic-
ious fruit could not be raised if the
requisite painstaking and intelligence
were employed in its planting and cul'
tivation. The country on the peninsu-
Ia between the two bays is famous for
its peach growing. This is doubtless
owing in large measure to the tenn.
perizing influence Of these large bodies
of water which protect the trees from
sudden extremes of cold, or the influ-
ence of sudden hot waves in spring and
the winter months, which are liable to
start the sap and swell the very suscep-
table buds of the peach. On our bleak
creek and river hills, where the icy
northwest winds of winter has uuob-
structed sweep, the last years growth
and fruit buds are almost sure to be de-
stroyed in the winter. To avoid this,
or protect from the fierce wind and late
spring frosts, as we'll as those unseason-
able warm days of midwinter, is to in
sure crop OF peaches. These obstacles
can be circumvented by calling to our
aid the requisite skill and knowledge.
For peach orchard choose the southern
slope of the highest hill on the place,
and plant under the brow but as near
the top as p' ssible. so that the crest of
the hill will break the strong, icy north
west blast 1t is equally important to
avoid planting in the valley, as the
warm sunny days of February and
March are almost sure to start the sap
and swell the buds. These warm spells
are followed by cold nights, when the
cold air being heaviest rolls down all
the valleys forcing the warmer air up
the hill sides, thus protecting the trees
from frost which is always seen in heavy
belts in the valleys after daylight. A
thick mulch of half rotted straw under
the trees is also sure protector against
the influence which starts the buds too
early and while the mulch has many
valuable qualities as protector and
fertilizer, there is the objection that it
provides harbor for insects, such as
the curculio, coddling moth, etc This
could be obviated by turning it under
in the spring and cutivating the trees
through the summer.
Almost every farm could have on it
a peach orchard of one, two or more
acres. which with judgment and intelli
gent care, would yield more clear profit
than any other spot of equal extent ON
the place.
