Wonderful Effect Of JuIeps.

RATHER ludicrous event occurred on
Saturday last. 1t having been reported
thata certain gentleman had died, and was
to have been buried on Saturday evening,
quite number of his old friends and ac.
quaintances repaired to his house to pay
the last sad tribute of respect by following
his remains to the grave.
As the death had been sudden, the cor.
oner had been sommoned; but when his
duties had been performed, the remains
were placed on an improvised hearse, and
the procession formed.
Before moving, the hospitalities of the
deceaseds house were extended to those
present in the shape of good stiff brandy
julep to each, so as the better to enable
them tC undergo the fatigue of the long
march to the new burying ground.
While the pail bearers, who were stand
ing by the hearse, were slowly slipping
their juleps, and now and again giving the
goblets slight shake to settle the ice in
them, noise was heard in the coffin,
which turned some faces winter than they
had been for years before. Finally the
undertaken for the occasion mustered up
courage enough to unscrew the coffin lid,
when, horrible to be told, up sat the sup
posed corpse, and coolly asked for his iulep.
Having quenched his thirst he got down,
and stated to the gaping crowd that he
had been in sort of trance, and knew all
that was going on about him, but was un-
able to rouse himself until his ears were
greeted with the familiar jingle of the ice,
and his nose with the delicious smell of the
brandy and mint in the goblets round the
hearse, the thoughts called forth, which in-
fused new life into his system, and the de-
sire to partake became so strong that he
was able to break the trance which had
come so near consigning him to prema-
ture grave.
His friends were too much astonished at
what they had witnessed, and too glad to
see him among them again to investigate
the philosophy of the thing, so they all ad-
journed to his house, where the juleps
passed around long enough TO almost ac-
complish for the whole party that fate
from which the first one had so omiraculously
delivered their host.-NolJolk "a Jour

Keeping Record Of Farm Operations.

THE keeping of farm journal in which
is recorded daily all the more important
operations of the farm is an important
| element of success. Experience is the
great teacher, but how can one profit bv
the past unless he carefully note all the
circumstances that have brought about a
| result. To trust TO the memory when so
many different kinds of work are to be
| done, 30 many experiments made, and all
these carried through a series of months
and years, is too great burthen upon the
mind, the details are apt to be forgotten,
and we have confused mass of opera.
tions all jumbled together, from which
little or no good comes at the proper mo-
ment to be efficient
The great mistake in farming is that we
do vast many things without sufficient
thought of what we are doing or what we
ought to do. Some men are constantly
flying from one piece of work to another,
they are always hurried, work hard and
never accomplish much, because work is
not done well or at its proper time But
II memoranda were kept of all opera
tiOns, showing date, mode of operation,
amount of labor and expense of each
branch of industry he pursues, it would
soon teach lesson that must necessarily
point to better system of conducting
business.
A daily record of work is indispensable
in showing the true situation of affairs,
and affording an intelligent answer to
what he has been about. BY it he will be
able to satisfy himself of the expense as
well as the mode of treatment of any re-
markable crops, good or bad The
memory, unaided by memoranda or
written notes, is very unreliable. There

recollect distinctly for any great length of
time all the minute of even remarkable
transactions which they have witnessed.
How, then, should they remember trans
actions of every day occurrence that do
not impress the mind so forcbly, and yet
from which wisdom in future operations
may be obtained.
The record of successful experiment.
if we can have it always available, often
proves of immense service. We know a
farmer who will go into his barn at any
time during the winter, and tell you with
great accuracy the quantity of hay needed
to carry his stock through. There are
girts and marks upon the posts that indi-
cate the quantity of hay below and above,
and what the average consumption of a |
certain number of cattle is in given |
time. This may seem to be a small thing |
to be sure, and yet he afflrms that such
record has saved him hundreds of dollars,
by atlording him means to judge of his
wants and purchase opportunely, or not
purchase, rs the case may be.
A record ofthe principal operations of
lay or week is easily made, and the ac-
,urate knowledge of events transpiring on
he farm afforded by a daily journal will
Sive so much pleasure and satisfaction, to
ay nothing of the money it will save,
hat those who once commence such
ecord will not be apt to give it up. If all
armers would keep such farm journal,
progressive agriculture would not be as
low as 1t is Utica Herald
