Fkea*. : Respected Frtexd — Some time since I promised to give you the two sides of the account of my wheat crop, which I was led to keep by seeing similar ones in the agricultural, department of the Telegraph, and if my account, when published, should prove'the means of inciting others to keep similar ones, I shall be amply repaid. What would be thought of the merchant who depended upon the amount of cash in band to tell bow much profit his year's oper ation had yielded him? How few fanners can tell, when asked, on what particular crop or crops they made their profit? They know there was profit because tbey have at the end of the year more money than when they com menced. but where this money came from they are puzzled to tell. More than one farmer to whom J Lave broached the matter has excused himself j upon the piea that he has not the time to j keep a regular set of books, and it will not cay to hire a clerk. We by no means need a "regular set of hooka" (though if the incli- | nation and time of the accountant will allow it, would more "than repay the trouble.) for the whole business may be carried on with one book or at most two. All farmers are able to keep a regular account with the hand 3 which they hire. Let an account be i kept with each field (woods, meadow and all) the same as with a hired man; charge it with all work done on the crops cultivated therein and credit it with all crops received from it even to the oven wood from repaired fences. This with a common cash book for the entry of receipts and expenditures is all that is needed. In a future article I may perhaps enlarge upon this important point and give a sample, in order to more fully explain my meaning; but at present I must fulfill my promise to you and give the two sides of my wheat crop for 1864. First let me state that in sending the ac count I have no intention of boasting, as will probably be shown by the result, for I have near neighbors who can raise fully one-third more than I do, and can do it as cheaply, but I do it in order to show what the operation costs not only in the total but in each separ ate item of the work. As soon as possible after the oats was off the field was well and carefully plowed, har rowed and rolled. After marking out the manure was hauled out in the usual manner, and put ou at the rate of about twelve two horse loads per acre. The manure was first quality from grain fed cattle, and mostly made and kept under shelter. About one fourth of it was made in the open yard, but was thrown under sheltemiu March, and well tramped down before the cattle were turned out to pasture in the spring, in fact the man ure was as good as it could well be, or at least as good as I have ever had it before or since. As fast as hauled out the manure was spread, and as soon as all spread was well rolled with a heavy roller. This rolling 1 consider of great importance to the crop, or at least to the .appearance of the field when .done, for it enables the plowman to effectual ly cover all the manure which is not always done if the operation is omitted, as it usually is. As soon as plowed the field was well har rowed and rolled, and the seed drilled in at the rate of one bushel and a peck per acre, aud again well roiled. As the after treatment of the crop was the same as is usually practiced, it will not be necessary for me farther to notice it than will be shown by the account itself, which is as follows: First plowing $14.50 " harrowing 2.25 Rolling 2.2-5 Hauling out manure and marking out.. 21.00 Spreading " 7.50 Manure 118.00 Rolling 2.00 Second plowing 14.00 Harrowing 2.25 Rolling 2.00 Drilling 4.50- Seed - 26.75 Cutting 0.75 Binding 14. .50 Hauling in 4.25 Threshing 21.50 Marketing 5.40 Interest on land 50.00 $332.40 Upon the credit side of the account we have the following items of articles either sold or taken at a fair estimated value: 278 bushels wheat at S2.GO $709.80 5 " screenings at 1.00 5.00 10 tons of straw at 5.00 50.00 Chaff, 5.00 5.00 Unexpended value of the manure 79.32 $849.12 Any one of your readers who has the curi osity to examine and compare the two sides of the account may do so, but let him not make the same mistake made by one of my citizen friends, who, having some curiosity in farming matters, overhauled my accounts and arrived at the idea that if the wheat crop one-third paid for the land and the ;orn crop as good with oats and potatoes, that a farmer could have nothing but plain sailing before him, and at the lowest calculation, should pay for his farm in four years at least. But let him not go too fast, for within my Jifty years' experience I never knew as favorable a year for the farmer as 1864, provided he was for tunate to hold on to his grain long enough to realize the prices of 1865. Wages were low, ?ery low by comparison, and grain extraordi narily high, making a cash balance unusually large. My account for the past year will not make so favorable, for the yield averages but fourteen bushels per acre, not owing to any mistake in culture and management, but be cause it was injured by the midge when in the dough state. We had straw and chaff enough lor thirty bushels per acre, but the grains were not filled out enough to make the meas ure. , r And farther, as an offset to some of your correspondents, who advocate the liberal use of bone dust, it had, in addition to a heavy coat of manure, from eight hundred to one thousand pounds of raw ground bone peracre, at a cost of from $25 to SBO per acre, and gave a crop worth S2B per acre exclusive of labor: but from the looks of the grass I judge the bone is still there, and I will get the SBO per acre back again sooner or later, with at least legal interest. I hope that my wheat account will stimu late some of the practical readers of the Tel egraph to try it. OCCASIONAL CONTBIBCTpR, Chester County, Pa. THE INQUIRE!} JOB PRINTING OFFICE, Bedford, Pa.

And they have been furnished by special com marnl to the Empress of Frniico, Empress of Austria. Empress of Russia. Empress of Brazil, Unecu of Spain and U'leen of Bavurin. The Grovcr and Baker Elastic-Stiteh sewing Machines are superior to nil others for tho follow ing reasons : 1. They sew direct from the spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 2. They are more easily understood aud used, and less liable to derangement than other ma chines. 3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by these machines js much more firm, olastic, and durable, especially upon articles which require to be washed and ironed, than any other stitch. 0. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in us , and retains this plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent ly washed and ironed until they are worn out. 0. The structure of the seam is such that, though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and durable. 7. Lniike other machines, these fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, while silk is used upon tho right or lace side of the seam, cotton may be used upou the other side without lessening the strength or durability of the seam. This can be done on otber machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitched or made up with silk. These machines, in addition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change ol adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permaucnt embroidery and ornamental work.
