FARMING AS A BUSINESS. AS busl-
ness, farming has not ranked with other
branches of business, such, for instance,
as manufacturing and the like. 1t has
been conducted loosely, without any spe-
cial regard to order or system. Few far
mers think it necessary to keep set OF
books in which to make entries OF their
transactions. No account is kept of the
sales of stock, grain, etc., and none OF the
purchase of supplies. No notice is taken
Of the actual cost Of producing a crop
When the end of the year comes they
have very little idea how much they have
made or lost. Now suppose merchants
and other business men should adopt this
slipshod policy of carrying on their bus
iness. what would be its condition in q
very short time7 Would it not be miser-
ably iumbled up? And would not this
state of things lead to bankruptcy and
ruin? The same argument why merch-
ants should conduct their business upon
systematic plans applies with equal force
to agriculture. If the one is a business
so is the other, and if the one finds it In.
dispensable to keep an accurate record OF Of;
its entire proceedings, SO the other will
find it equally important. :.
The farmer will suffer and suffer prodi,
giously, if he never knows the state o1
bis business. 1t is an easy matter tol
him to record every sale he makes or ev-
ery purchase. There is no necessity o1
his being a scientific book-keeper to dc
this. Many of them have sons competent
to do this work, and it is a good school
ing for them. In England farming, Is
carried on Systematically as any othel
business. No one pretends to conduc,
his operations without regular set o.
books; and many wealthy farmers en-
ploy book-keepers just as our merchants
do. The result is that every farmer car
tell at the close of each year, just how he
stands, how much he is out, or what ne
has made or lost. The American farmer
as rule, does not know how much ne is
making or losing. He is moving in the
dark all the time, and must remain in the
dark continually if he pursues the haI
hazard policy which, as a rule, he nov
follows. Now, farmers, let us give thi'
matter a little attention; self-interes
and common sense demands it. Just try
it one year. 1t is great source OF IN
formation as well as usefulness.

THE HONEST MAN WHO PAYS

There is one among the many,
Can YOU tell me where he stays?
He's an old, old-fashioned party,
Called the honest man, who pays;
Yes-the honest man who pays
Every dollar he may owe,
Keeping up the good old ways
That so many scarcely know.
If he gives word of promise
'Tis bond as good as gold;
Ifhe holds post of honor,
Not trust is ever sold;
By the honest man who pays
Every debt he may incur,
Yielding each just reward,
And no grudging or demur.
And I'm told this rare old party
Lives-within his income, won
By the fairest, squarest dealing
We see beneath the sun.
And the honest man who pays
Always holds it good and right,
For the rich to help the needy
When the times are tough and tight

A New FASHIONABLE AFFECTATIoN.
The most popular afectation among
young ladies ravenous for social notoriety
is the "Florida cough" which is regarded
by those who have been abroad as a fine
substitute for "Roman malaria" so fash

malady is supposed to be contracted sit
ting on the piazza of Magnolia or Jack
sonyille hotel, flirting and eating oranges
alternately. Those who have never been
near either place suffer dreadfully from
the disease.-Mew YORK. Gazette.

\ Sample of Tilden Reform,

The election case of Plat against Goode,
in which Goode, the democrat, was given
the seat in the House against the clearest
evidence that Platt was fairly elected. is a
sample of what the Tilden reformers will
do when they have the opportunity. The
majority of the committee reported in fa-
vor of seating Plat, but the ex-Confeder-
ate majority trampled it under foot and
gave the seat to Goode. A baser partisan
act was never committed in the House.
This is Tilden Reform.
