Book Accounts.

Every farmer ought to keep accounts, no
only with himself but with his several fields
his crops, sheep, cattle, horses, swine, ano
poultry &C., to tell whence his cash comes
and whittier it goes. He should, at least, dc
this with great precision, until he shall btt
master Of the subject. For want of accurate
accounts, farmers are often deceived, raise
improbable crops and animals, or pursue
improbable methods of cultivation or feed
ing. Sometimes, too, they abandon pur'
suit profitable to them under the false notion
that they can do better
A little practice will make the business
easy, and it will give you not only the salts.
faction of knowing the pecuniary results Of
this and that crop, or method, but will
awaken new interests in the whole process
by which land is prepared and the crop ma
tured. 1t will enable you to determine the
nature Of the hints you get from reading the
Agricultural papers, and whether it really is
more profitable to cultivate twenty acres,
thoroughly and diligently, than fifty acres
haphazard. And now the beginning Of the
year is good time to commence.

using this plough, we save half the labor,

Gross and Net Weight of Cattle.

The ordinary rule ascertaining the net
weight of beef cattle from the live weight
varies according to treatment quality, size,
and age. and after all is no rule at all, because
it is entirely matter of agreement between
the parties at the time. 1t also depends up
on the locality. InNew York, the net weight
of beef in the quarter only is wanted. In
Boston the hide and taliow are included,
counting the products equal to one quarter Of
the beef, or rather calling the whole five
quarters. There the net weight of fat bul.
lock is estimated at GO to So lbs Of each loo
of live weight. In extra fine animals the pei
centage is higher. In New York, where the
hide and "a! IRE left out Of the calculation

Farm Buildings.

There is no part of the economy of thu
farm more neglected than this. Barns, sta
blcs, cow-houses, and other such erections
are usually made without any preconsidered
plan, and are consequently i'll arranged and
inconvenient. The farmer ought to bear ir
mind the extent of his farm, the probable in
crease Of his stock and means, and commence
his ercctions so as that they can be added ia
from time to time, to carry out and complete
the plan originally determined upon. A finn.
sy,l temporary building should always be
avoiied-it costs almost as much at first
and certainly is greater expense during the
short time it lasts, than more permanent
erection,
