FARMING ACCOUNTS.

S4AiS'Ni-'" " +hNSot4N 1b'
The Dutch have progerb thai "no
one is ever ruined who keeps correct ac-
counts" and this saying, there is no
doubt, contains much truth; and if il APP
plies TO the merchant, trader, and manu-
tacturer, ii must do So still stronger 10
the farmer, whose business it is by small
out-goings to create Il stock, which at
the years end shall afford, in addition to
returning the expenditure, a surplus for
his remuneration. But farmers are sell
dom accountants; it does not enter their
ideas that knowledge of booking can
be necessary part Of their education,
and yet what is more evident than the
occasion for their knowing not only
what proportio on their general expcndi-
ture bears to the gross returns, but that
they should also be aware in detail of
the cost and returns Of the several pro-
ducts OF their farm, so that they may as
certain, not only their position as TO
profit or loss at the years end, and be
able to develope the profitable branches
OF their farming by a sacrifice of The
"lprohtable; but, further, that they may
adily estimate the advisbilly of a
practice or of an outlay by calculation
of the cost and return.
1t is to the neglect Of this very impor-
tant branch Of education, to the want of
this aid to good farming, that great num-
bers of land owners as well as farmers
sink their money so nprotitabIy. They
are led into plans by gross returns, with
out knowledge of the cost, and then
fancy their lost capital has gone in i'm
provements of their land, which are to
make return hereafter, when, in reali-
ty, some vicious system, some false views
Of profit have swallowed it up. often
see land yearly dcprcciating, but which
the owner orocCupier lancics he must have
been doing much TO greatly improve,
simply because he finds that he is yearly
becoming poorer by his use oft. How
often does the stock master, delghting
III his stock, reconcile the consumption
OF nearly all his produce, the appropria-
tion OF halt his farm to the maintenance
of animals which the years end Give
but comparative trjiie for their keep,
with the impression that he shall recover
Their cost IN the return of grain.
A better system ofaccounts, an accu-
rate knowledge Of tn. cost on one side,
and OF the return on the other, would
often set many right who are going
very wrong indeed Figures should be
the farmers test of every operation, cy-
cry system should undergo COMPARE
son OF cost to the return. Why should
manufacturers, traders, and merchants,
be governed by their estimates. and their
debtor and creditor accounts, and farm
ers not! | confess like the present
cry for balance sheets; for my early ed
ucdtlon was mercantile one, and much
| owe to it; but at the same time the de-
STABILITY of figure proof be admitted,
we must not forget that good farming
when first planted requires time to pro-
duce fruit--it is a tree which takes wears
OF care and attention before it blossoms.
-Four or five years must be expected to
pass before it must be regarded for its
returns. The greater the occasion
therefore for accounts, to distinguish
money lost from money invested.

GOOD AND BAD MTCk-IIINTS TO
FARMERS.

We are in the daily habit Of hearing
the casualties and misfortunes of life.
and particularly in the management of
the farm, aScribed to bad luck; and on
the contrary, of hearing the blessings,
comforts and enjoyments of life ascli-
bed to good luck-as though these
things were casual, and did not depend
upon the discreet or indscreet conduct
of those whom they belall.
If we will but scan the matter rroncr-
ly, we shall be convinced that our rood
Or bad luck most generally comes through
our own agency; and that we are in
great measure left to choose our own
fortunes, as far as this matter is concern
ed. The faithful practice of known
duties, with due restraint upon our ba-
ser passions, seldom fail to produce good
luck-whlle incidence, extravaganza
and the lack of probity and good will to
our fellows; are almost certain precur-
sers of bad luck.--And even though our
crops may grow from the exuberant
bounty OF nature, and although our pat
rlmonlal wealth may extort for us the
tickle applause and sycophancy of the
multitude; the pleasures which they af-
ford are unstable, and are not to be
compared with those that result from
prudent industry and rectitude of con-
duct-irom consciousness Of having
performed, and performing the high du-
ties imposed upon lis, to our families, to
society, and to our God
Let us trace some instance of good
and bad luck, in the business of the farm
to the palpable causes.
The diligent farmer, who personally
superlntends his own business--who RI
ses before the sun, sees that his labor
els are at their appointed business, and
bis farm stock are in good condition, his
implements and fences in good order.
and his work timely and properly done,
is pretty certain of enjoying a round OF
good luck in all his farming operations.
He will have good cattle, good crops,
and good profits, and if he take care to
bring up his sons in the way of their
father, he will have good luck with his
family. On the other hand, look at that
man who gossips away a portion Of hi.
time at public houses, at political clubs
and among his neighbors--and who
trusts the management Of his affairs en-.
tirely to the discretion and fidelity o
others, and ten 10 one you will fine

him an heir to i'll luck; his land annual
ly becoming poorer, his crops lighter,
his cattle diminishing, his fences and
buildings diIapidating, his children idle
and perhaps dissipated, and his fortune
going 10 wreck. Who does not see in
such man fountain of bad luck
Our young readers have, most of them
PERHAPS, heard ofthe bad luck that be-
fell the man who neglected, in time, to
get nail in the horse shoe-thc shoe
came off, the horse became lame, and
ultimately died--so the owner lost his
horse for the want Of nail. The same
bad luck attends him who neglects his
fences; a rail or board is down, the cat
tie get in and destroy the crop, and he is
obliged to buy bread for his family.
The drone, too, is generally late with
his work--he plants and soWs late, and
suffers his crops to waste in the field,
before they are gathered or housed
The diligrnt farmer destroys the
weeds thai rob his crops, and The bushes
that cucumber his grounds; he carefully
economics, and applies his manures
destined to feed his crops, and keep up
The fertility Of his soil; aud he brings up
the best portion of it, though naturally
wet and unproductive, into a productive
state, by system of iudcious draining.
All these are certain precursors of good
luck.-Now mark the farmer of almost
inevitable bad luck, upon that farm down
yonder, who, although it is harvest time,
is from home, gone to attend petty
lawsuit, IN which he is a party. Look
at the fences, the buildings, the bushes,
the weeds, the swamps, the cattle, and
the crops-at every thing. Do they
nor all betoken bad luck !-and speak
in language not to be misunderstood,
that the unfortunate master is going
down hill
We have one more suggestion which
may extend TO the farmer. ldleness is
the parent Of tattIe-of mischief. Now
the man and woman who attend to their
own business as they ought, have nei-
'ther time nor disposition olliclously to
intermeddle with the domestic concerns
of their neighbors-they have no inter-
est IN sinking the reputation ofotbers-
but would raise them to their own level.
Their habits, therefore, tend to tif1usc
good luck to all around them.
