Keeping Farm Accounts.

A writer i'll the Ohio Farmer tells the
readers of that paper how to keep farm
accounts. He advises them 'to keep an
account of, LIST. All labor expended upon
the farm daily, where and for what purpose
I'd. The exact expense Of every crop, for
labor, manure, seed, &c, together with the
yie'd of each Sd. All money expended
upon the farm, and all received thcrefrom
when, i'll what amounts, and for what. 4th
His daily operations, the varying appear
ance of his crops, results of all expert
ments, dc. In fact, all that may be of
interest or use at a future day. To do this
will require three blank books of moderate
size-a day-book, ledger and farm journal
In the day-book should be entered each
evening all sales and purchases all amounts
received and paid ont, all accounts with
crops, laborers, neighbors, and in fact all
with whom you have any dealings-where
it is in work, put it at its cash value, and
keep each account on separate page,
keeping the cash account by itself AS
soon us 4 crop is harvested, ascertain how
much each item of expense has been, and
place the whole amount in the ledger.
which should be ruled so that both debtor
and creditor accounts can be placed upon
the same page. From such an account can
be told what each bushcl of corn, oats.
wheat, potatoes, &c, cost: and this eau be
done in no other way than by keeping an
account of each item of expense in raising
them. In the Journal should be entered
each day, clearly and briefly. the various
operations of the farm for that day: the
kind of work done, the time of each team
and laborcr, upon what field or crops, and
any other items you wish to remember.
Thus you have Il record of work done upon
the farm, whether in improvements or in
crops and can tlercfrom tell what work
was done each day of the year. The Jour
nal should be a ruled blank book and have
upon the left hand of each page IA margin
about an inch wide in which to place the
day of the month, and marks to call cspc-
cial attention to anything to which YOU
wish to refer at some future time, Hut

Salad.

Mr., aeptimus Piesse talks as follows
about salad. The amGnnt of vinegar he
mentions is entirely too much to suit most
tastes: In every country, salad is COM
posed OF nearly the same ingredients. The
Romans ate salad freely. mixed with olive
Oil. The general ingredients of ii salad a
well known. In spring and summer, c, q
lnttucc, mustard and crcSS, watercreSS and
rndisEcs form the staple; in the autumn,
endive and cabbage lettuce predominant.
Nothing spoils Il salad so much, both in
appearance and flavor, as cutting it ND too
fine. Every atom should maintain its
individuality. Radishes cannot be cut too
fine, but the slices should be cut in rings,
and not dice shape. Onions must remain
matter of taste; but not so as regards mint.
Every salad should contain from three to
six leaves of young mint, as it greatly
assists digestion. No salad can be properly
made without one or two hard boiled eggs,
because the yolks are necessary to blend
the Oil. The mixture should be made thus:
Boil two eggs quite hard; when done take
them out of the Sauspan and put them into
cold water. This causes the eggs to shrink,
and the shells can easily be removed with
out distiguring the white. Cut each ego
into three parts, and remove the yolk into
the salad bowl: cut the white into fine
rings, some of the best of which should be
preserved to place on the top of salad when
served. With a wood or silver spoon break
up the yolk in the salad-bowl, and add one
tablespoonful of oil, these ingredients rub
together, and they will Blend then add at
least three tahlespoonfulls more of oil, and
again rub all together; now add teaspoon
full of moist sugar, again rub, and all will
blend. Now add gradually, little at
time, the vinegar, in quantity about twice
as much as the oil used; lastly, put in pep
per, salt, and ready mixed mustard, the
latter but little; but on no account use
mustard that has not been previously mixed
with water. a little taragon vinegar, use d
scant1ly, improves every salad. 1t is very
essential to mix the ingredients in the
order laid down as above. When this is
carefully done, an excellent salad will be
the rasult-soft, yet aromatic; creamy, but
not greasy. There are true chemical rca-
sons for mixing yolt of egg with oil, as
there are for mixing flour of mustard with
water, and not vinegar; but this is not the
place for examining them-the facts stated
must be accepted. 1t is the general want
of the knowledge of how to blend the oil
that causes the common remark; Il am
very fond of salad, but I'll not take any oil,
thank you OF course, served up as it
frequently is, all floating and greasy, few
things can be more Objectionable, unless it
be that rancid potion sold in ring bottles
in shops under the name of Salad Cream
Avoid this. Beet-root, as a staple to
salad, is not used sufficiently in England.
At least half Il good sized Lect should be
cut up with every salad. 1t is digestible
nutricious. and i'll general favor

Essen vs.. BERKSHIRE PIGS.-HD Do the
Essex possess any decided advantages over
the small Berkslire?'', No; or at least,
either of these breeds, if pure, will do so
much to improve our common stock that it
will make comparatively little difference
which is selected. The Essex is remarka
bly, gentle, is more .'rcfincd" than the
Berkshire, and is believed to be "more
thoroughbred, and consequently will
impress its characteristics more strongly
on common stock. The Berkshire is more
active, more disposed to range, and proba-
bly, will get his own living" better than
the Essex. TO breed pure for the butcher
we prefer the Berkshire; to cross with
common sows we prefer the Essex.
