FARMEE's ACCOUNTS of our
contemporaries truly remarked that if a
tnrmer kept as nice and exact accounts
with the cattle, the fields, the orchards.
ans! the crops with which he has annual
dealings, just us his moro careful brother
merchant does, lie would find spirit of'
s'is:ness working into all his habits, and
progress and push would inevitably fol-
low. The loose notion seems TO bc that
here arc the fields, and these the bull
din.:s nN, u living must somehow be cot
out ot them. But that will not do in
ihr4c days. Every agricnlturist Is bound
t. know What his farm yields him, for lis
own cons unption, and how mnch !oy
sale; al.l then he will be able 10 get at
any pro:its by csp',cring the difference
less the cost OF cultivation.

is the cheapest food (und the lest, all
things cunai'Icrcd,) That can BE bought?
The reply is, Indian corn. Give cooked
and r"w, whole, ground fine, and ground
coarse, ior the sake ofchangc. 1t is the
cheapest thing that can be bought, gcncl-
ally speaking, the amount of utrimont
obtained i'll it considered. But to rive
nothing but corn would be Il mistake. Ii
should prcdoninate for cconomvs sake,
but oats, huckwhcat, wheat screenings,
hoiicd potatoes, scraps from tic table,
and ~ many other things ~ possible,
should be added 70 the bill! o. fare.
