Farming, az an occupation, VIII never at
tam to the high position to which 1t IS by
right entitled until a series OF accurate eXpe
riments determine facts. Ii asked how much
a pound of beet, pork, mutton, wool or grain
costs us, we cannot answer. What would we
think of the manufacturer of cotton goods if
he could not show the exact cost OF yard OF
cloth? We would at once concede that bank
ruptcy would inevitably result, or at least
would be likely to result, by pursuing such a
course. The need of closer calculation IN
regard to the cost of production becomes
more and more obvious the longer the coun.
try is settled and the population increases.
The farmer should farm intelllgently,
should learn what each crop costs HIM, so
that he may be enabled TO diversity his crops,
and grow only what will pay the best, with
out permanently eXhausting the soil CO.
temporary very wisely remarks, If we were
TO hunt up the losses incurred every year by
the farmers of the United States, from want
of accurate information in the practical con-
duct Of their affairs, 1t would aggregate a
fearful amount. The earth yields so gener-
Gus return for all intelligent labor bestowed
that it balances all Sses fiOm unskilled labor,
and produces Il surplus upon which all the
wealth of the world is based. If farmers
could be induced to study their processes with
the same accurate observation that manu-
facturers do the processes of their business,
agriculture would soon be taken from the
unknown and placed upon the side of accur-
ate human knowledge. 1t was Illuminating
to hear one of the best farmers in the State
of New York excuse the want of progress in
our agricultural colleges by stating that ag-
ricul,ure is not SCIENCE that no one can
tell him what it costs to make pound OF
beef and, by Inference, that these schools are
to be excused for not helping the farmer to a
knowledge of what he has all his life neg
lected to observe for himself Just as If that
were not precisely what these schools were
endowed for-to redeem the want of CON.
mon observation on the part of farmers, and
teach their sons the value OF accurate knowl-

Keeping Farm Accounts.

There ara difficulties in the keeping of
farm accounts in such way as 10 show the
exact profit or loss in farming that do not oc'
cur in keeping the accounts OF most other
kinds of business. 1t is easy to state the
general principles that should be observed,
but not SO easy to supply them in the details
of practice. The farm, o. course, should be
charged with the capital invested, and with
all outlaws, and credited with everything re-
cclved in return Suppose | buy farm with
suitable buildings upon il, which, with the
necessary stock and farm implements, costs
5000. That sum should be charged TO
the debtor side Of the account. All sums
paid for labor, seed, fertilizers, etc, should
also be entered IN the debtor column. so far 1t
rs all easy, but IN entering the credits it is
not always easy TO determine the value OF the
returns received. IT, at the end of the year,
the farm, in consequence of the improvements
made upon it, or from any other cause, IS
worth more than at the beginning, the in
crease should be credited and go 10 swell the
estimate of profits, but frequently it is diff
cult TO determine the extent OF the increase
of value. The same may be said of the In
crease of the value of stock remaining on
the farm. There are lLany items of income
which are difficult 10 estimate, and some
of which are commonly overlooked al
together The farm should be credited with
bCuse.rent such sur1 ~ the farmer would
have to pay for the use of house like his
own, if he were compelled to hire one. The
use of his dwelling is legitimately part OF
the income of the farm. The vegetables from
his garden, the fruit from his orchard, the
milk, butter and cheese from his cows, the
eggs from his poultry and the honey from his
| family, are as much a part of the income
of his farm as is the money received Tor
the produce sold, and should be credited
to the farm al their market value. II is
not, however, easy to keep correct ac'
count of these little matters, but we believe
that an honest and perseverIng attempt 10 do
so for a year or two will convince any farmer
who shall try it for the first time thar he had
previously no correct notion of the cost OF
living nor Of the profit of farming .-N"'

The Dr0cers' J0ufmaL says: Get rid OF
old-that is, profitabe-stock which twill
not pay to winter Carry this right through
from horned stock down to hens. IL is un
profitable to depend on old horses, and thrifty
farmers usually get rid of them before they
are quite past labor. But there is often a
deep and laudable attachment between the
farmer and his old-four legged servants, and
we do not wish our recommendation to be
taken as applying to them. Old milch,cows
should be tatted as soon as they are past
their milking prime. Old ewes give weak
lambs and light hceces; qualify them for
mutton as soon as possible

about two days the meat will be completely

The HOnSekeeper says: ITO free winter
plants from insects take waste tobacco stems
and steep them in water until the liquid is OF
the color of strong tea; with this water
syringe the plants freely twice week. This
will not only effectually destroy the green
fly, but will keep in check most other insects
that infest plants. Where only few plants
are kept in rooms the easiest way is TO dip
the plants entirely in the tobacco water, NOV
ing them up and down in the liquid to wash
the insects off it if they have firm hold.
The red spider" Is another pest To winter
blooming plants, and wherever it is seen you
may be certain that the atmosphere has been
too dry, or very likely the temperature too
hot, AS it is rarely found in cool, damp at
mosphere. The treatment Of this insect in
the green house is copious syringings with
water, but where but a few plants are grown
IN the house it is best 10 go over the leaves
especially on the under side, with wei
sponge. The red spider is so minute that il
IS hardly distinguishable by the naked eye
but its destructive effects are quickly percep
tlble, as the leaves upon which it works soor
become brown, and If the leaves are closely
examined, particularly the under side, the
minute insect will be seen in great numbers
