Keeping Farm Accounts.

Every farmer knows how to keep accounts
with his neighbor, his mechanics and hired
men. He charges them with what he pays
and gives them credit for what he receives.
Let him do the same with his fields, crops
and animals. He can purchase for twenty
FIVE or fifty cents, q small account book with
flexible cover to make beginning the first
year. His fields are either named or num-
bered. He assigns page to each field. The
field has been measured with the tape-line
and its contents calculated and set under the
name. He must now be willing to devote
few minutes at the close of each days
work to entering accounts. This must be
be regarded so important in his mind as not
to be postponed or omitted, but performed
as certainly as his meals are eaten or his
COWS MIXED He charges each field with
the number of hours labor performed on it,
with fair moderate price of his work car
ried out at the end of the week to column
devoted to charges. In the same column the
amount in value for seed is also entered.
After the crop is harvested the field is cred
ited with the amount in value in an ad-
joining column. The same course is pursued
with his animals, either in herds as with
sheep, or with single animals as with cattle
If he sets down what is fed to them, and the
time required to attend them, he may learn
approximately what each one has cost hin
to raise, and know whether he is gaining OIL
losing. He will make number of mistakes
the first year, which his experience will cor
rect; and the practical knowledge thus ac
quired will be worth more than the mos
perfect farm account book without it.

HIDE-BoUND TREEs.-Trees that have
long stems exposed to the hot suns or dry
ing winds, become what gardeners call "hide-
bound" That is, the old bark becomes in
durated-cannot expand-and the tree suf-
fers much in consequence. Such an evil is
usually indicated by gray lichens, which
feed on the decaying bark. In these cases
a washing of weak lye or lime water is very
useful indeed, where the bark is healthy,
it is beneficial thus to wash trees, as many
eggs of insects are thereby destroyed. We
would, however, again refer TO linseed oil as
a wash, as more effective for insects, and
would, perhaps, do as well for moss and lich-
ems. After all, these seldom come when trees
are well cultivated 1t is neglect makes
poor growth, and poor growth lichens.-

FEEDING CATTLE.-A change of food will
be great help in quickening the appetite
of stall fed cattle. A pint of molasses mixed
with feed of oat straw and meal, will be ta-
ken very readily. This may be given once
day, and one or two ounces of salt with an
Alternative feed. Roots sliced and sprinkled
with either cotton or linseed cake meal, will
be very healthful. A few apples will be
useful between meals. A pound of meal
stirred in the drinking water will help. By
varying the food in this way one can hardly

How to Lay Shingles.

Every farmer should guard against having
too many roofs to support about his fsrmery,
because If they be covered with shingles it
costs much to keep them proof against
water. DO not buy low priced inferior
shingles, under the impression that they are
cheap, for in the end you will find them
very dear. 1t costs as much to lay them and
sometimes more than it does to put on good
ones. The best shingles in the end will al
ways be found the cheapest Experience
has taught us this lesson, for we have tried
both good and poor shingles on the roofs we
have to support.
With regard to laying shingles we present
our readers with the views of mechanic,
which we clip from Canadian journal. The
correct way for laying shingles of any length
in order to form tight roof, is to lay the
course less than one.third of the length of
the shortest shingles to the weather. For
example, when shingles are eighteen inches
long, many of them will not be more than
seventeen inches in length. Therefore five
inches is all that the courses will bear to be
laid to the weather with surety of forming a
tight roof. The shingles must be three thick
over the entire roof If they are not three
thick, if now and then shingle lacks
quarter or half an inch of being long enough
| to make the three thicknesses, there will in
all probability be a leaky place in the roof
at such point. Moreover, when the lower
course lacks half an inch of extending up far
enough to receive the rain from the utter
most course in case the middle course was
removed, it would be just as well to lay them
seven or eight inches to the weather as to
| lay only five or five and half Many shin
giles are only sixteen inches long, and many
that are sold for sixteen inches long, will
hardly average fifteen inches. In this case
if the roof be rather fiat, say about one
quarter pitch-four and a half inches is as
far as they should be laid to the weather. In
case roofwere quite steep it might answer
to lay the courses four and three quarter
inches to the weather. If buildings are
erected by the job, propretors should give
their personal attention to this subject, and
| see Juat JODpe.S w uot lay tiie CouiSeo q haii
inch too far to the weather.
There is another important consideration
which is too frequently overlooked in shing
ling, which is breaking joints. Careless
workmen will often break joints within half
an inch of each other. When the joints of
the different courses come so close together,
the roof will most certainly leak. Why
should it not -? There is nothing to prevent
it during heavy rain. Unless roof be
sleeper than quarter pitch, much care
should be taken to break joints not less than
one and quarter inches. Let all workmen
and helpers be taught the vast Importance of
rejecting every poor shingle.
