It is a little surprising that notwithstanding the improvement in neariy everything apper taining to farming, so little has been effected towards inducing farmers to operate in a sys tematic manner aud keep record and account of their farm operations and business gener ally and specifically. But one farmer who does so, ninety nine keep all their accounts "in their head,'" and consequently are right ly termed "guess farmers," for thev never know, but guess it is so and so. They don't know whether this, that or the other crop pays best ; whether they can afford to sell their produce at such and such a price or not. They can't tell if it is for their inter est to continue such a course of husbandry, use such fertilizers, cultivate a field in such a manner, nor even at the end of the year are they sure whether they are on the profit or loss side of the ledger. They guess it is about so. Neighbor Smith came in last evening while I was filling up my record, and said, as he noticed my occupation : "What you doin,' book kecpin ?" "Yes a little. Fixing up my account. 1 suppose you keep farm accounts, don't you?" "Me? no. Its too much bother, 1 can keep my 'counts in my head." "Don't you think it better to have some thing you can rely upon ?—anybody is apt to torget." "It's well enough for storekeepers and sick to keep 'counts, but I don't see no need of a farmer's doin' it."' "Isn't it as mnch for our interest to look after our business as it is for the storekeeper to attend to his ?" "Well yes, I 'spose so, but what's the use oi a feller's spending time to write down everything about what he does ?" "It pays Smith." "I don't see how." "Well, see here. How was your com crop this year ?" "Pretty fair, though the frost hurt it some." "Shall you plant some more next year ? "Sartin. I allersplant corn." "What for ? "\\ hat for ? Why because I allers do." "\es I see. Now, Smith, how much did that field of corn pay you ?" "Pay mo! Well I guess about—" "That isn't it do you know ?" "Well not exactly, but I cal'late—" "Never mn.d, but really, how, do you know whether you made or lost money in raising that field of corn ?" "Dnnno as I do, for sartain." "Now, look here, Smith. There is my 'corn-field' record. I have written down everything connected with it, and to day I have summed it all up and know all about it. Here is the size of the field, the kind of soil, what grew on it last year, when and how ma ny times it was plowed, harrowed and furrow ed, and also the amount aud kind of manure used, how it was put on aad what I used for top dressing. Then here is the time of plant ing ; time and manner of cultivating, how far apart were the rows and hills, number of stalks in the hill; when the corn came up and what variety it was ; when it was harvested, &c., &c. And here I have got in exact, fig ures the cost and price of everything connect ed with i( ; planting, hoeing and harvesting : the value of the corn, beans, pumpkins and fodder ; value of manure, rent of land, and every item set down in full. So I know ex actly how much it cost me to raise that piece of corn, and thus whether it pays me to con tinue rai mg it under such circumstances." This i ly an example. All other farm s hould be recorded in somewhat the sam e m anner, and then there would be an end ofthe continual "guessing" and "think ing" and ignorance in regard to those things we should know about.— G. E. 8.. in Working Farmer. PROTECT THE PEACH TReES. From this day forward to that of the final departure of Arctic Jack, the peach tree re quires more careful looking after, protecting and defending against frost, than in all the year besides. It is not so much the severe freezing of December and January that cuts off the fruit- supply aud kills trees, as it is the alternate and unreasonable thaws and free zings of February and March. Nature has provided for the former extingcncies, but neglected to fortify the trees against the lat ter vicissitudes. Like humanity, heated by genial but un timely sunshine, the peach tree is tempted to early imprudence and begins to assume its Summer costume. Suddenly comes the chan ges—cold biting winds, snow and almostArc tie frosts—the poor tree rooted fast, cannot fly to friendly shelter, cannot resume its cast aside overcoat, or call back in time its dis carded winter habit, and so suffers severely for its impulsive imprudence. Now as the buds of fruit trees do not begin to expand until the roots are warmed, and the consequent flow of sap excited, their best security against loss of prospective fruit, and probable loss of the tree itself by these Feb ruary and March thaws and freezings, will be a mnicking of the spaa, covering the roots with some suitable material in sufficient depth to prevent the warmth ofthe sun's rays from penetrating to the roots and setting free a flow of sap until such a condition will be safe. For this purpose any coarse, barn-yard litter will answer, the depth laid on being not less than a foot. This should have been at tended to late last Fall, but as there are ma ny instances in which it was not done, and as it is not yet too late to save the coming crop and serve the trees a good turn, it is worth while to attend to the matter at once. Bet ter expend the labor of hauling a few loads of litter or stable manure to each peach tree —seeing it may be used elsewhere in the Spring—than run the risk of losing both fruit and trees by too early circulation of sap and subsequent severe freezings.— Farm and Fireside. To STOP A FIT OP COUGHING.—A corres pondent of the London Medical Gazelle states to close the nostrils with the thumb and fin ger during expiration, leaving them free du ring inspiration, will relieve a fit of coughing in a short time. In addition to the above we state, from personal knowledge, that to press the linger on the upper lip, just below tbe nose, will make the severest premonitory symptoms of a sneeze pass off harmless. We Lave found the remedy useful many a time in creeping on game in the woods.— Farm and Fireside. PROFIT OF HOPS. —Mr. H. 11. Potter, <>F\ Sauk county, Wisconsin, contributes : i arti cle to the Praiie Farmer, sUting that he raised on four acres of land, worth ot hops, estimating the hops at fifty cents a nound. 'litis crop was raised on a Timothy sod.— Farm and Fireside. cfiumomiiS. BRAINS a king—lndustry prime minister. A HARK combination —dollars and cents. j WHAT prevents the river running away ? ■ Why it's tide up. MISERY loves company, and so does a mar riageable young lady. WHY an apothecary sells cod-liver oil. To replenish his toughers (coffers). WANTED, the receipt which is given when a gentleman "pays his respects." Toss a chimney-sweep into the river if you would make a clean sweep. "Yen are too pointed," as the mtiftin said to the toasting-fork. I'M. make a man of you," as the sculptor said to the marble. EVERY thirsty dog, when he finds water turus lap-dog. CHARITY covers a multitude ot sins ; the tailor a multitude of sinners. WHAT is that which is so brittle, that if you name it you are sure to break it ? Silence. THE easiest and best way to expand th, chest is to have a good large heart in it . Six is as much a forerunner of miseiy as the forward wheels of a coach are of the hind ones. THERE is a girl in Maryland who weighs over four hundred pounds. A nice arm-full for somebody. If all the world's a stage, many a chap of our acquaintance would like mightily to be a stage driver. CAUGHT in her own net, as the man said when ho saw one of the fair sex hitched in her crinoline. ANY thing to please the child, as tbe nurse said when she let the baby crawl out of the third story window. WHY isn't a boy like a pretty bonnet ? Be cause tbe one becomes a woman, the other don't. IN the beginning woman consisted of a sin gle lib. Now she's all ribs, from her belt to the rim of her petticoats. WHY is an axe like coffee ? It must be ground before it can be used. A wo UAX may speak as many tongues as she will, hot don't let her do it with too long a one of her own. "SAM, why am de hogs de most intelligent fo'ks in de world ?" Because dey nose ever ything." AUNT BETSY says, "a newspaper is like a wife, because every man should have one of his own." Aunt Betsy is right. WHY does the eye resemble a schoolmaster in the act of flogging? It has a pupil under tbe lash. WHY are a country girl's cheeks like French calico? Because they are "warranted to wash and retain their color." "THERE are ties that never should be sev ered," as the ill-used wife said when she found her brute of a husband hanging in the hay-loft. THE old bachelor who had been waiting for the lapse of ages, has finally tried the laps of young ladies, and is quite pleased with the result, LUCY STONE once said: "There is cotton in the ears of man, and hope in the bosom of woman?" Lucy made a mistake, and get tbe cotton in the wrong place. "ISAAC, my sou, let the good book be a lamp unto thy path." "Mother," roplied the thoughtful Isaac, "I should think that was making light of sacred things." SAIXY, said a fellow to a girl who had red hair, keep away from me or you will Bet me me on fire. No danger ef that, replied Sal ly. you are too green to burn. Ax editor, who was asked to respond to a toast to woman, declined on the ground that woman is able to speak for herself, and any man who undertakes to do it for her will get himself into trouble. Two Irishmen were travelling when they stopped to examine a guide board. "Twelve miles to Portland," said one. "Just acx miles apiece," said the other. And they trudged on, apparently well satisfied at the small distance. A FARMER'S boy was told to give the cows some cabbages, and to give the cow that yielded the most milk the largest share. He literally obeyed the order, and deposited the largrst share on the pump. "BOYS what is all that noise in school ?" "It's Bill Sikcs imitating a locomotive." "Come up here Vv'illiarn ; if you have turn ed into a locomotive, it's time you were switched off. FOOTE, praising ihc hospitality of the Irish after one of his trips to the sister kingdom, a gentleman asked him whether he had ever beeu at Cork. "No sir," replied Foote, "but I have seen many drawings of it." WHEN an Irish priest rebuked his parish oner for drunkenness, and told him that "whenever he entered an ale house to drink his guardian angel stood weeping at the door." "And ef he had sixpence he'd be in himself," was Pat's reply. "MY Dear," said a gentleman to a young lady, whom he hoped to marry, "do yon intend to make a fool of me ?" "No," replied the lady, "Nature has saved me the trouble." THE pompous epitaph of a close-fisted citi zen closed with the following passage of Scripture: "He that givcth to the poor lendcth to the Lord." "Dat may be," soliloquised Sambo—"but when dat man died de Lord din't owe him a red cent." RECEIITS THAT NEVER FAII.. To destroy rats—catch them one by one and flatten their heads with a lemon squeezer. Tokill cockroaches —get a heavy pair of boots, then catch your roaches and put them in a barrel, and then get in yonrself and dance. To kill bed bugs—chain their hind legs to a tree, then go round in front and make mouths at them. To catch mice—on going to bed put. crumbs of cheese in your mouth, and lie with it open and when a mouse's whiskers tickle your throat —bite. To pret ent dogs going mad—cut their tails off just behind their ears. To make hens lay—hit them each a wrap on the head with a heavy stick.

The Girard Life Insurance Company was char tered in 1826, and is therefore cne of the oldest, as well as most substantial companies in the Uni ted States. It effects insurance for the whole of Life; upon the nonforfeitable or ten year plan, or for any terra of years. It also issues Endowmen Policies.
