THE INCOME.
A Baltimore man who bought him a farm two or three years ago was recently approached by a man who had aome money to invest, and who asked—" Can I I buy a pretty fair farm for 15,0Q0d01. P" "Yes, about that figure." "And I'll want to lay out about IO.OOOdoI. in improvements, I presume?" "Yes, fully b n ai, ; And, I can invest another IO.OOOdoI. in blooded stock P" " I think you can." "And S.OOOdol. more in grading, filling up, creating fish ponds, and so forth?" "Well, you may ge t
through with that sum." "That's 40,000dol.; and now let's figure the income." " Ob, you don't need pencil or paper," said the victim, as a shadow of sorrow darkened his face. "The income will be about 3dol. for turnips, 2dol. for potatoes, s<Jol. or 6doi. for corn, and a bull calf or two at 3dol. a head. To save time call it 25d01. I'll see you again in a day or two. Maybe I've forgotten some* thing which will add a dollar more. Morning to you."—Wall-street News.
