Balance Sheet-1S76.

Assuming that every farmer has kept
an account current with every department
of his business, now is the time for him
to post his books so that he may know to a
certainty on which side the balance stands.
Without this all is uncertain and unsatis-
factory; while with this one knows just
what he is doing and how he stands, so
far as loss or gain is concerned. ft
Almost every farmer is engaged, to a
greater or less extent, in stock raising,
while many make 1t specially. In either
case, an exact account should be entered
in the farmers account book of the actual
cost, both of purchase and keeping, of
each animal. If twenty head of two Year
olds be purchased at $50 each, the amount
would be $400, and at the expiration OF
two years they be sold at $50 each,
amounting to 81 900; and the cost OF
keeping be $40 per head, amounting 70
$400, the net profit, or gain, would be
5000. The same principle would hold In
raising stock instead of purchasing, This
will apply TO hogs, sheep or horses, as well
as neat cattle r-rf F
In the line of cultivation, the farm
should be mapped out in FIVE or eight
fields, as the case may be. Suppose the

Effects of Trees on Glover.

Some species of trees seem to be spe-
cially injurious to vegetation beneath their
shade, and of these the butternut and
hickories, or walnuts, are conspicuous ex-
amples. The fact is frequently noted that
clover, corn and hoed crops are especially
liable to injury. We have often seen
clover killed outright around q butternut
tree for distance equal to the extent OF
its branches, and also presumably of the
underground branches or roots. AT the
same time clover will thrive under apple,
pear or other fruit trees where the ground
is not unsuitable, and the failure under
butternut and walnut trees suggests the
query whether it is caused by the roots of
one kind of trees exhausing the moisture
near tie surface while the others draw il
from the suhsoil, or whether it may not
result from the direct injurious effects OF
the drippings of water from the leaves and
branches. Many farmers believe that but
ternut and walnut leaves poison the soil
for certain kinds of crops. In order 10
test this question we are instituting eX-
periments, taking butternut leaves and
spreading them on few feet square OF
clover to note the effect next summer
If the leaves are really poisonous to veg
etation the effect will DC seen away from
the trees as well as near them Our guess
is that the butternut-r roots exhaust the sub
soil moisture worse than the roots of other
trees. Butternut makes poor shade,
and this tends to keep the land dryer
We noticed last fall that young clover Of
last seasons growth grew quite well un-
der butternut tree. The bad effect seems
not to be manifested till the second year,
by which time the clover-roots should
strike the subsoil.
This subject is we'll worthy of atten.
tion and investigation. Glover is so i'm
portant and almost necessary as reno
waiting crop that anything which detracts
from its growth is great loss, and 1t is
highly important that we should know
wherein the injury consists. We are en-.
tirely convinced that fields kept mainly
for tillage should be numbered with few
or no trees, and especially that those kinds
most injurious to titled crops or clover
should be removed. They are as much
worse than rocks in a field as continued
injury is worse than an inconvenience
By making the soil less productive, tree;
in cultivated fields become one of the wors
obstacles to good and successful farming

A Parh letter to the Philadelphia Tele.
crdpk SAYS Last Wednesday night an
English Institution took trip across the
Channel, and came to establish itself in
Paris. This unwelcome guest was no
other than genuine london fog, which,
beginning about seven O'Clock in the
evening, gradually increased in density
until Il became impossible to see across a
narrow street or TO distinguish objects at
half q dozen PAGES off. Through this
dense gray sea of vapor people went
cropping and bcwildered, unable 10 find
their way even to the best-known points
Carriage drivers were forced to keep their
horses at a walk, and the policemen went
about furnished with large torches where
with they vainly strove TO dissipate some
portion of the gloom. The gaslamps
looked like far-off spots OF redness through
the mist. People went about, some car

Many people got, out Of their carriages
and walked alongside of them In dread Of

One poor cabman, becoming bewildered
on the quay and not daring to turn either
TO the right or left, for fear Of driving into
the river, sat all night motionless on his
box in the cold, gray mist. The most un-
pleasant adventure Of which have heard
was that of a party of ladies who were re-
turning home from the theater. The cab.
man got lost, and insisted on dcpositine
the party in the middle of the street and
permitting them to find their way home
as best they might. Remonstrance and
entreaties were in vain, and but for the

need made the cabman hear reason, and
guided him to his destination, which was,
as it happened, only half block off.

Winter Sports at Quebec.

A QUEBEC correspondent, describing
the sports ofsthe winter season, says il
you contemplate visiting Quebec, especial
ly you girls-the boys are usually warmly
enough clad-yOu must dress for the occa-
sion, for the mercury is way down at zero
and the moon is shining ON a field of snow
two feet in depth, and bringing out
myriads of frosty diamonds, and footsteps
fill the crisp snow. So put on your warm
fur jacket take off your stiff linen cuffs,
take off your long dress-skirt and replace
it with short quilted one, pull on heavy
overstOckings and Arctic shoes, and, with
"A fur cap well pulled down over your ears
and a cloud wrapped round and round
your neck, you'll look like Canadian
girl ready for a frolic in the snow, and
ready to follow anywhere her escort leads
Snow-shOeing and sliding parties are the
rage Just at present. The tobOggin, on
which the coasting is done, is five or six
feet long and eighteen or twenty inches
wide, made of a thin birch board, perhaps
half an inch thick, strengthened by little
crossDars and turned up at the front in a
graceful curve. OF course, as they have
no runners they are made, very smooth,
and on this account an old worn toboggin
is better than new one. There is not a
prettier or more picturesque sight than to
see rosy girl fitting swiftly but silent as
shadow down the long hill You seat
yourself on the toboggin with your feet
under the curved front and your clothes
carefully tucked under you, the pilot
jumps upon the toboggin back of you,
after giving it a start. With one foot
dragging behind, like the rudder of a
boat, he guides your craft. After the first
start you might as we'll be flying, as far
as motion goes. You rush and bound on
ward and downward in your mad career,
shower of dry snow rising in your wake
The ropes which you hold serve to steady
you, and you clutch them with u grip Of
desperation as you skim along, setting
your teeth and braclng yourself against
any stray "bump" you come to. A bump
can be better imagined than described.

Jefferson Davis.

THERE are a good many reasons why
amnesty should be refused Jefferson
Davis, and we agree with Mr.. Blaine in
thinking his moral responsibility for
AndersOnville, one Of them. Mr.. Hill, Of
Georgia, an ex-Confederate Senator who
replied to Mr.. Blaine, had right TO deny
this responsibility, but he made great
mistake in attempting TO whitewash the
rebel prisons. He was addressing men
who had seen the skeletons that came
alive out of Andersonville or had sur
vived the horrors of Belle Isle, and he
might as well have offered statistics to
prove that there had been no rebellion as
that the names of those and other South.
ern PRISON camps are not justly to be for
ever infamous as scenes of needless, wan
ton, devIlish inhumanity. One who has
ever read of the Federal prisoners make
shifts for shelter, or, as was still possible
after the war, has seen the burrows into
which they crawled, or has ever stood be-
fore collection of implements which
they shaped as best they might, knows
how long a step toward savagery they
were driven TO take by their savage keep
ers. On this subject the North has made
up its mind, and Southern members Of
Congress who desire to get the bloody
shirt out of politics had better refrain
from following the example of Mr.. Hill.
Difficult as il Is to prove Davis direct
part In these atrocities, 1t is more difficult
TO relieve him of immediate moral re-
sponslbility for them, seeing that he was
not in ignorance of the facts, and that he
never lifted a finger even by way OF pro-
test. II is worth while TO remind Con
gressmen, too, that Writ was found
guilty by court.martial OF conspiring
and confederating" with Jefferson Davis
and others ia the cruel treatment of Fed
eral prisoners, for which he was hung.
II would be simple qualification TO am,
nesty his military superior, who looked
upon his conduct with indifference or up.
