AfiRICOLTL'RAL. weggj r . . ■=■.= THE TAXES OF FARMERS. The following ia very important to farmers and the decisions have recently been given by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington: 1. Farmers will not be required to make return of produce consumed in their own immediate families. 2. The farmers’ profits from sale of live stock aro to be found by deducting from the grots receipts for animals sold, the purchase money paid for the same. If animals have been lost during the year by death or robbery, the purchase money paid for such animals may be deducted from the gross income of the farm. 3. No deductions can be made by the farmer for the value of services rendered by his minor childien, whether he actually pays for such services or not If hie adult children work for him and receive compensations for their labor, they are to be regarded as other hired laborers in determining his income. 4. Money paid for labor, except such as is used or employed in doraest'c services, or in the production of articles consumed in the family of the produce), may be deducted. 6. No deduction can be allowed in any case for the cost of unproductive labor. If house servants are employed a portion of the time in productive labor, such as the making of butter and cheese for sale, * proportionate amount of the wages paid them may be deducted.

6. Expense for ditching and cleaning new land are plainly expenses for permanent improvement, and not deducted. 7. The whole amount expended forfer til’zers applied during the year to the farmers’ land may be deducted, but no deduction is allowed for fertilizers pro duced on the farm. The cost of seed purchased for sowing and planting may be deducted 8. If a person eells timber standing, the profits are to bo obtained by estimating the value of the land after the removal of the limber, and from the sum thus obtained deducting the estimated value of the land on the first day cf January, 1362, or on the day of purchase, if purchased since that date. 9. Where no repairs have been made by the tax payer upon any building owne Iby him during the preceding five years, nothing can bs deducted for repairs made during the year for which his income is estimated. 10. A farmer should make return of all his produce sold within the year, but a mere executory contract for a sale, is not a sale; delivery, either actual or ccn etructive, is essential. The criterion by which to judge whether a scale is complete or not, is to determine whether ths vender still retains in that character a right over the property; ii the property were lost of destroyed, upon which of the parties, in the absence of any other relation between them than that ts the vender and vendee, would the loss fall.

Evergreens. —Some of the farmers in the west are engaged in setting out a double or triple row of evergreens as a screen for protection from the snows and winds of winter. It is about ns good as a stone wall, and the advantages to our prairie farmers would be invaluable. In time most of our farms will be adorned with these trees. Evergreens two years old can be obtained for from fifteen to thirty dollars per thousand. White pines have been known to grow four nnd a half feet per year in Illinois, and it is as safe to transp'ant as the cottonwood, where the ground has been properly pre pared. Norway and Scotch pines are hardly varieties too. Bees Robbing Pasture —A deny man once remarked that he did not like the community for dairying, on account of the b< es which were pastured, the country keeping bees largely. This was a new thought, and opened the eyes of the bystanders, but it is true, nevertheless. The saccharrino principle is an important element in herbage. The white clover, which, is one of the main reliances of the dairyman, is seriously robbed of its treasure by these roving thieves at the expense of the sweetness of the milk, and the sugar generally necessary to a cow’s benefit. Il is a small matter, and overlooked, but has its force.— Cbrrwponrfftnre JtaraZ World.
