SPAIN.
MADRID, November 15.-The pro-
ceedings in the Constituent Cortes
Saturday were interesting and i'm.
portant. One eff the Porto Rico Dep
uties asked Senor Beccena, Minister
for the Colonies, what course of gov
ernment would be adopted towards
an Island that was peopled by six
hundred thousand faithful Spaniards?
The Minister replied that the treat
ment of the Colonies would be such
that their people would be proud TO
call themselves Spauiards. The Dep.
uties suggested and advised the abo-
lltion OF slavery in Porto Rico, with
indemnitication to the owners. Bee
cena replied that that question would
be soon solved, and in a way to cause
the least injury. Subsequently the
Minister, in reply to question of
SenOr Padial, said the Government
proposed to treat Porto Rico not only
as Colony, but as a Spanish Pro-
vince. He did not hesitate to con-
denim the system of slavery in Porto
Rico, and agreed to its abolishment,
with naturalization to the owners
for their losses.

foreign and colonial policy of Spain. |
From the interchange Of views had |
on this occasion. importlnt results

KEEPING a FARM JOURNAL.

No doubt there are farmers who commence
business with a determination to keep dali
" record Of their operations on the farm, and
the results of them. This resolve is carried
into execution for time, but after while
iutermissioas in these jottings occur, and
finally cease altogether This delinquency
does not prove that the gractice is not good
one, and as an incentive to perseverance, we
would cite case Of a man who commenced
farm life bareheaded, but eventually attained
great weaIth-a result he attributed in great
measure to a daily journalizing of bis farm
operatious-a practice kept up for forty FIVE
years, and not then discontinued.
These daily memoranda were made in books
of convenient size, each containing the re-
cords Of a single year, and when full proper.
ly labelled and filed away for future reference
when desirable They contained the number
of fields farmed each year, the amount Of
labor bestowed, the actual yield, the names
Of the parties employed each day, the daily
receipts for stock and farm products sold,
money paid out, and for what purpose. the
character Of the weather, together with such
reflections as the current news of the day
supplied. This journal was uniformly writ
ten up each night just before retiring to rest,
but when the party was absent, as was occa.
sionally the case, it was the duty of the per
son in charge to make the necessary memor-
auda each evening.
These records were often appealed to, to
decide disputed points in regard to the wealth
er and crops Of particular seasons, and not
unfrequently taken before the courts for the
purpose of determining the date of particular
transactions. At FIRST these nightly records
may prove rather irksome, but if the practice
Is keFt up perseveriug'y for two or three years
it becomes habit pleasureable rather than
otherwise, and profitable to the parties who
steadily pursue it. 4mericaH Farmer.
