ing the income from u farm IN substan-
TALLY this: Give credit for every arti-
l Gle produced, used or expended In any
I way whatever, no matter how small In
4 value, ms well IA for cash received for
products sold, aud for increase In the
value OF farm property, and charge
against the farm for Interest on capital
invested, and for all expenditures. The
farmer that Will do this from year To
year will not feel so much like COM
planning of the unproiltablencss of
farming Ms compared with other pur-
suits. The fact Is, that not one In n
hundred farmers takes into considera-
tion the luxury aud comforts Of fresh
eggs, butter, milk, fruit, etc, that they
would have to pay high prices for II

without using potatoes, hops, or any
other useless ingredients of the kind

spread on n board cut into square
cakes and dry rapidly in the shade.

From the san Francisco Bulletin.l
A. j. Bryant, the president of the
Pacific Jocky Club, is in receipt of a |
dispatch stating that Bowers, noted |
horseman of Sydney, will start this |
week for this city with two of the best |
Sydney race horses, which he brings |
over especially to enter for the $50, 900
four-mie race to be given by the Club |
next fall. One Of them, named Jump,
| is very fast horse, of great endurance,
has beaten everything that has con-
tested with him in the Colony, and lat
tery had to he handicapped to get a
race. The other is also Il fast and game |
nag, but his prowess has not beer so
fully demonstrated. The Sydney |
horses are recognized by turfmen rs
among the best in the world tor long
races.
