Keeping Farm Accounts.

The beginning of the year Is a good
time for beginning a system of accounts,
| and the first thing should be an inventory
of the real and personal property. 1t is a
great comfort to know how we stand with
the world, once a year at least to strike a
balance, settle up all accounts, and know
whether we are on the advance or retro.
grading. If the former is the case, we are
encouraged to make renewed efforts; and
if unfortunately the latter is true, there is a
chance to stop leakages before the farm
sinks into the hands of some mortgagee.-
Merchants uniformly take inventories an.
nually, if not semi-annually, and if any
neglect it, their creditors had better keen
sharp lookout for failures or comprom.
Use.
In the cash account should be put down
all cash received and all expended
Farmers some times say they don't know
where all their income goes, and complain
OF the unnecessary expenses of wife and
children. If a cash account is kept. it can
be easily seen where the cash has gone, and
whether an equivalent has been received.
1t is very easy to charge extravaganza
upon "the woman thou gavest me-" but
not always easy to prove it. In majority
OF cases she is not as much to blame as
men are won't to think, and the cash &C.
count will tell the truth, let it hit where
it will.
In the farm account there should be kept
a record of all farm expenses and receipts,
not forgetting to give credit for the pro-
ducts consumed in the family. There
should also be kept special accounts with
certain crops and stock. Sometimes it is
well to note down the products of each
cow and know for certainty which cows
are worth keeping and which had better
be turned off. There is much money lost
by Keeping poor cows, and often few
good mixers in herd support the Others
and give character to the whole.
Farmers should keep few individual &C.
counts. Franklin's maxim, "Pay as you
CO." has special application to agricultural
producers. Those are not trading class,
and have little occasion for asking or Civ
ing credit. All cash transactions viii of
course be kept in the cash account, but
with hired help, and possibly few others,
individual accounts must be opened.
In the memoranda columns may be noted
the times when corn and other crops were
planted, hoed and harvested; when mares
may be expected to drop their ioals, and
COWS their calves, and all such observa-
tions as are of practical use for reference
Many calfhas been neglected because not
expected at the right time. The memo
randum column may be made one of the
most useful in the book.
A system of farm accounts, like the one
above briefly outlined, will make the BUSH
ness of farming not only more profitable,
but more pleasant, and will contribute not
little to increase self-respect and elevate
the character of farmers among business
men, Country Gentleman.

David Gray's Estate.

Over his forge bent David Gray,
And thought of the rich man cross the way.
"Hammer and anvil for me-" he said,
"And weary toll for the chidren's bread"
"For him, soft carpets and pictured walls,
life of ease in his spacious halls"
The clang Of bells on his dreaming broke:
A flicker of flame, whirl of smoke.
Ok in travis, forge grown white hot,
Coat and hat were alike forgot.
As up the highway, the blacksmith ran,
In face and mien like crazy man.
SCHOOL house atirem Mems hearts stood still
And the women prayed as women WILL
While 'bove the tumult the waiing cry
Of frightened children rose shrill and high.
Night in its shadows hid sun and earth
The rich man sat by his costly hearth,
Lord of wide acres and untold gold,
But wifeess, childless, forlorn and old
He thought of the family cross the way;
81 would" he sighed, 81 were David Gray"
The blacksmith knelt at his children's bed
To look once more at each shining head.
"My darlings all safe God" he cried,
"My Sin in thy boundless mercy hide
"Only to-day have learned how great
Hath been Thy bounty and my estate"

A Remarkable Story of Cat and Dog Life.

In Beatrice Gage County,, Neb., lives a
gentleman by the name of NJ, who
owns very fine greyhound named Queen.
Now, Queen is great favorite in that part
of the country, not only on account of her
beauty and gentle disposition, but also
from the fact that she and her pups are
noted wolf hunters. She has several times
unaided, run down and killed wolves, and
one day this with two of her full grown
sons, captured and killed three wolves.
About two months ago Queen had litter
of little ones and few days after one of
Queens friends, a cat occupying the same
stable, had new family of little Kittens
Shortly after the new arrival the order was
given to "drown some of the pups" but
the executioner finished the whole ofthem
Poor Queen was inconsolable, and went
about crying and searching everywhere for
the missing ones, looking up, in the most
beseeching way, to each one of the family.
After while she went back to the stable,
and then her whining ceased. In the af
ternoon Mr.. M went to the stable and
found Queen in her nest with the old cat
and her four kittens atfectionately cuddled
up in her arms. Mother puss did not seem
to like this after while, and evidently
thought that the new mother was getting
the most attention from her babies So
when Queen was out for few minutes,
she took the kittens one at time and Car
ried them to her own nest. Queen return.
ed to find her home again desolate, and
went Immediately and took the kittens all
back, the cat following. This performance
went on for three or four days, the cat carry
ing the kittens one way and Queen taking
them back, until mother puss changed her
one of the kittens up into the loft, which
Queen could not climb. Next day puss took
another, and then third, leaving Queen
but one, which she tended most zealously

A CLEVER TRICK In Western city, a
well dressed man recently entered a jewel
ry store, and, resting his arm on the show
case, broke it, accidentally, it was sup
posed The proprietor of the store de-
manded three dollars to replace the broken

that IL was a counterfeit.

To MEASURE CORN IN CRIB.-This
rule will apply to crib ofany size or kind.
Two cubic feet ofgood, sound, dry corn, in
the ear, will make a bushel of sheled corn.
To get. then, the quantity of shelled corn
in crib of corn in the ear, measure the
length, breadth and height of the crib in
side Of the rail; multiply the height by the
breadth, and the product by the height ;
then divide the product by two, and you
have the number of bushels ofsheled corn
in the crib.
To find the number Of bushels of apples
potatoes, etc, in bin, multiply the length,
breadth and thickness together, and this by
8, and point off one figure in the product
for decimals.

How to Save.

The high road to independence lies, for
most people, through the narrow gate of
economy. 1t is not always pleasant way.
1t requires sacrifice, but it repays the sacri-
fee with interest. There are some who do
not need to economize-people with ample
fortunes, who are able to spend pretty much
as they please. The more this class spends
the better for society. What would be
praiseworthy economy for some would be
downright stinginess for them. Nobody is
rich enough to be wasteful but those who
are able to purchase freely the products of
genius and industry, and thus give employ
ment to the workers. The rich err by hoard
ing, the poor by spending too freely. The
road to independence lies through saving
something of what is made, and not always
in making much. 1t is only when the ex-
penses are too great that business does not
pay. The household is like business en-
terprise it is never financially prosperous
unless more comes into it than goes out
The art of saving well consists in buying
well. A person of limited means must re.
sist many temptations to buy things. Toe
many people make the mistake of buying
a cheap article instead of dear one, and
imagine they are economizing. The mistake
consists in buying the article at all. They
could not afford it, cheap or dear, and it is
wise rule to buy few things but good ones
Another essential rule in the art of saving
is never to spend money before you get it
Do without the coveted treasure, be it luxu.
ry or necessity, until the money is in your
pocket, and then you will know Letter how
it ought to be spent. Buy substantial
things. If the amount of money that il
worse than thrown away each year for evan
escent trifles and snowy gewgaws by people
in embarrassed circumstances, could be as
certained and footed up, the result wouc
be appalling. The money is simply wasted
and the saving of it would go far TOWARD
putting the spenders in comfortable con
dition.

Take the Papers.

BY N. p. WILLIS.
Why don't you take the papersg
They're the life of our delight;
Except about election time,
And then l read for spite.
Subscribe! you cannot lose a cent,
Why should you be afraid9
For cash thus paid ia money lent
At interest four-fold paid.
Go. then. and take the papers,
And pay to-day, nor pay delay,
And my word for II inferred,
You'll live until you're gray.

While dying with cough,
Desired to hear the latest news
While he was going off.

Of some new pills In force;
He bought box-and Is he dead?
No-hearty as horse.

As e'er you saw two stumps,
And II" phrenolngist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the paper. and his life

His children all can II nd and write,
And talk of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolling through the wood,
A tree fell down and broke his crown,
And killed him-'very good"
Had he been reading of the news,
AT home, like neighbor Jim,
Pll bet cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers?
Nor from the printer sneak
Because you borrow from his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bills when due;
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer too.

At midnight, short time since, an old
man named Wiley Frazer was watching
a watering place for deer when he was at
tackled by three large and ferocious
panthers. He discharged the contents of
his well loaded gun through the body OF
the foremost panther. At-this the others
checked and set up such cries that they
alarmed the dogs of the neighborhood,
and fifteen gathered to the spot. The
fight lasted for a considerable time, but
the yells Of the dogs and encouraging
shouts of Wiley awoke the citizens, who
arose en- masse and gathered with guns in
their hands and frightened the wearied
panthers, causing them to fee.
