A CoN lMBEDDED IN A Rock. People
have heard and read Of toads having been

another curiosity to be added to the list.
Mr.. John AdriNnce, OF this city, has a

coin was found imbedded. has been

IGNORANCE In FARMING.

One of the greatest drawbacks to
successful farming is the presence of
the unknown quantity-ignorance Of
the exact condition Of things, in value,
weight and measure, concerning our
products. We often produce at loss.
An account with each crop would de-
eide the matter. If after a few trials
it costs more TO produce than crop
will sell for, its cultivation should be
abandoped. Many continue to produce
from year to year at a loss, simply
from the want of little calculation.
In order to conduct farming opera
tlons understandingly and intelligent
~, tits necessary to ascertain the cost
OF production by keeping accurate &C.
count, as far as possible, with the farm
as a whole, and with each field in de-
tail. To do this requires, in the first
place, an accurate measurement of the
different fields. A map Of the farm
should lie made, and each field num-
bered, with the number Of acres also
marked down. A farm account book
should he prepared or purchased, in
which should be Noted the crop pro-
duced OIL each field, charging to its
account the labor required to produce
the crop, together With seed, manure,
interest, taxes, etc, cre.liting the
amount for which the produce is sold,
or at it's market value. BY this course
the actual cost Can easily be ascertain
I'd, showing how and where the prof.
its or losses arise, afforling an excel
lent guide for future operations. An
account should also be kept with the
farm, as with an individual, on the
above basis, balancing the books at
the end of each year, and taking an in
.ventory of stock, farming implements
etc, to open correctly the account for
the succeeding year. This method
will demonstrate conclusively whether
farming pays or not as far as that per.
son is concerned. Most farmers are
very careless about keeping any ac-
counts whatever, even with neighbors
and others with whom they have deal.
ings, which is very prolific source Of
trouble aud vexation, often leading to
expensive lawsuits.
But farmers will say they have no
time to attend to such things and trust
to luck and the honesty Of other peo-
pie to carry them through. Any mer-
chart or other business man who con-
Quoted his affairs iu such slipshod,
slovenly manner, would surely fail,
and certainly would not deserve to
succeed. 1t will require but q few mo.
ments at the close of each day, and
one years trial Of keeping farm &C.
counts will convince most farmers thu,
it is a very sensible and proper method
of doing business. I would like to
hear from Others through these col.
umns on this subject Country Gen

Weather and River.

Weather and River.
Certainly the past week has been
changing and an extraordinary one
with US in the weather line, and we
are truthfally within bounds when we
make this assertion. One of its odd
freaks was two days. and one nights
deluge of rain, that must have been
lineal descendants of old Noah's del
uge, which as matter of course
again struck the planting and farm
ing interests below the belt and
caused them excessive drawback and
damage. Then came as if by magic
Y hours of consecutive fine, genial,
clear sunshine and pure Spring
weather, which never was surpassed
in this land of orange blossoms and
dewberries. This was followed, or
rather trumped, by Northern blast
and change, bountifully supplied with
old Boreas' best blows, and as we
write we are resting within doors to
keep from being blown below Young's
point. Still this last is far better
than the rain storm, and we can put
up with it as a fair antidote.
During all these weather variations
old Red has not been idle in its
tramps, and we have to report a good
ly rise in this drink, which has
frightened more than one fearful adj
versary, and started the Corporation
shovels to improvise few infantine
levees, to keep a few low places in the
old veteran levee under control, and
within guage of the highest points.
The shovel work has proved success,
and the honest efforts Of its directors
have smiled to see the old scarlet
stream come to a stand on Monday
evening. This stand marks the river
notch of the Government to within
two feet, eight inches of the highest
water mark of 1855, and all this at
last good news is booked for con-
tinuance by the Telegraph, which
ticks MS the latest from Shreveport,
the rivers and lakes above. At Full
ton the river has receded 20 feet, at
Shreveport one foot, and almost on
stand as low down as Grand Ecore.
