had been the child's playmate, and which
had accompanied him in his long and faith

and llfeless form, This faithful dog had
tramped quite path around the liieIess

who, under the peculiarly affecting circum-
stances, was almost frantic with grief"

FARM BOOK.

For the be.t plan of book in which
the farmer can record his practice and ex-
perieuce in the plainest most simple and
concise manner.
The value of a well kept farm record
can scarcely he over estimated. 1t should
lie clear, explicit, and comprehensive
should contain the daily operation of the
farm, notes OF the weather and its vicssi-
tudes all interesting items about the ami
mails of the farm, dairy, orchard i'm short

operations of The farm: which must neces.

The arrangement of the daily journal
would be very smple-the book 10 be fill
ed regularly from the beginning, with the
date prefXed 10 each days record, so that
it would be continuous record from one
day TO another through the year.
The ledger should lie large enough for
the purposes of one year. of may be sulli
cienlly large Tor several years Ii should
contain, under seperate heads, so as TO be
easy of access, all the substance If the
Journal, with some important addtions-It
may be arranged as follows First an pha-
betlcal index, containing the names of the
subjects treated of i'll the book, with the
number OF the page assinged to it standing
opposite, Each subject in the ledger is TO
be treated seperaely, on seperale page,
and 10 contain only what the farmer will
need for future reference, Much of this
matter is TO be drawn from the Journal, and
may be transferred al regular intervals
each week, or month-or at the most con-
venient times If Apples be the subject of
the first entry, it will be put on the "a"
leaf in the index and given the first page in
the book. If Wheat is the next subject the
name is 10 be put on the "lV" leaf IN the
index: and 10 occupy the second page aud
SO of each subject 10 lie treated
The ledger will contain much that need
not be recorded in the journal-as the kind
of crop, when put in, when harvested with
the yield, would be very useful for future
reference, and compare one year with an.
other. In this way, the yield of tue farm,
or any part of it, is easily made out
In its appropriate place, at the end of the
year, will be made the balance sheet con.
tanning the expenses, the losses, and the
profit. This could be made very readily
from a well arranged book.
In this way, farmer will in a few years,

RAISING PoTAToEs UNDER SrRAw.-I the
May number o! your excellent Cultivator,
i requested your subscribers to Try the ex-
pertinent on raising potatoes under straw,
promising that would do so and give the
result. On the 9Th of June | put about half
bushel of very small potatoes in a corner
of the field, on the sod, and covered them
with about or inches of straw. A few
days after we had rain, and the potatoes
grew astonshingly, so that this fall col
lected about bushel of large and sound
potatoes. was obliged to take them up
early, on The 5th of September, as the field
was cleared of grain and stock turned
into it. -Four persons of this county have
tried the same experiment, and succeeded
beyond their most sangune expectations.
This Is certainly a cheap way of raising
potatoes, and pieces of land, which, from
stones or stumps, would be lost, are thus
turned 10 profit Country Gent5cman
