Farm accounts.

What would be thought of merchant
who did not keep set Of books and who
at the end Of the year could not tell wheih-
er certain branch of his business had been
successful or not? And is not a farmer as
much interested in the result of his opera
lions as a merchant The pettiest shop
keeper must have a clerk to keep his book
with double entries; and yet the most ex-
tensive farmer, operating with thousands.
keeps no record of his proceedings. The
manufacturer opens an account with each
department of his business, charging il with
the stock employed, the expense incurred,
and credting il with IFS products. At the
end of the year, he sees, at glance wheth-
.er it has been productive or not and con-
Icludes TO Top it off, or extend it. So should
the farmer open an account with every crop
he cultivates-charge it with the outlay,
and credit it with the proceeds. At the
end of the year he should take another ac-
lcount Of the stocks on hand, and he will see
at once how he stands on the years opera
tons. If he is unable to keep so simple an
account, he should employ clerk. (although
The had better go to school himself;) he Ger
ltainly needs this assistance as much as 8
merchant. But there is no difficulty about
the matter-and extracts from a farmer
hooks, we'll kept, would be the most vaiua
BILE contributions to an agricultural paper.

THIyGs TO DE RREMEMBERED.--Hors
should never be put 10 severe work on full
stomach More hnrsas are hurt by hard dri-
wing after fun feed. than BY d ru.l God
after hard driving.
If the farmer wishes to have his pork bar
rel and meal chest hold out, let him look
we'll 10 his kitchen garden. Plenty Of veg
etables conduce not more 10 health than 70
profit.
In laying in sock of winter fodder for
animals, let il not be forgotten that little
too much is just enough. Starving animals
at any time is a miserable policy.
As you treat yonr land, so it will treat
you. Feed it with manure literally and it
will yieald you bread bonntfully.
Avoid debt as you would the leprosy If
you are tempted to purchase on credit, put
it off for three days. You need time for re-
Election.
The man who uses good seed has a good
soil, and works il in good season, rarely fails
Of having good crop TO reward his toll.
Never forfeit your word. The saying in
truth, of any farmer, "his word is as good a:
his bond, = is worth more to him than the
interest of $4,000 annually.

results are deemed certain, whilethe expense
is comparatively nothing.
Mr.. M. Also stated as to the result eff an
other experiment tried upon his apple trees
last spring. 1t is fine, thrifty, tree, about
25 or 80 years old, but never in one year pro-
duced over about two bushels Of apples.
While in blossom last spring. he assembled
the tree and sprinkled plaster freely on the
blossoms. and the result is, that it will this
year yield about twenty bushels of apples.
Now il the plaster will preventive blast, il is
discovery of great importance. Mr.. M.
was led to make the experiment by reading
an account of the production Of trees adjoin-
ing a meadow where plaster had been sowr
at time when there was breeze in the di
rection of the orchard, the trees contiguous
to the mellow bearing, while the others pro
lducing no fruit.-Eaaern paper.
