M T TATOFT FIOUSCHOW. GUESSING"iN FARMING. It is a little surprising that, notwithstand ing the improvement in nearly everything ap pertaining to farming, so little has been effec ted toward inducing farmers to operate in a a systematic manner, and keep record aud generally and specifically. But for one farm er that does so ninety nine keep all their ac counts "in their heads," for they 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 interest to con liuuesuch a course of husbandry, use such fertilizer, cultivate a field in such a maimer: nor even at the end of the year arc tbey s'ure whether they are on the profit or loss side of ihe ledger. They guess it is about so. Neighbor Smith came in just evening while 1 was filling up my record, and said, as he noticed my occupation: •What, you doin'—book-keepin' ?" •Yes; a little. Fixing up my accounts. I -t.j pose you keep farm accounts, don't, you?" • Me? no. It's too much bother. 1 can keep my 'counts in my head." "Don't you think it is better to have some thing you can rely upon? Anybody is apt to forget." •'lt's well enough for storekeei>ers and sieh lo keep 'counts; but I don't see no need of a farmer doiu' it. "Isn't it a much lor our interest to look alter our business as it is tor the storekeeper in Hiieud to his?" "Wall, yes; 1 s'oose so; but. what's the use i a teller's spending time to write down ev ery tiling about what he does?" "It pays, tbnith." "1 don't see how." "Well, see here. How was your corn crop this year." "Pretty fair: though the frost hurt it some." "Shall you plant some more next year'.'" "Sartin. I allers plant corn." "What for?" "What for? Why, because I allers do." "Yes: I see. Now, Smith, how much did tiiat held of corn pay von?" "Pay me? Well, 1 guo-s about " " That isn't it. Do you know?" "Well, not exactly; but I cal'late " •Never mind; but. really now, do you know whether you made or lost money in raising that field of corn?" "Dunno as I do, for sartin." "Now,, look here, Smith There is my •cornfield record.' I have written down eve ry thing connected with it, and to-day I have summed it all up. and I know all about it. Here is the size of the field, the kind of soil, what grew on it lost year, when and how ma uy limes it was ploughed, harrowed and fur rowed, and also the amount and kind of ma uure used, how it was put on. and what 1 used for top dressing. Then, here is the time of planting: time and manner of cultiva ting: how far apart: where the rows and the hills; number of stalks in the hill: when the corn, came up. and what variety it was; when it was harvested, etc., etc. And here 1 have got, iu exact figures, the price of eve rything connected with it: Planting, boeing at.d harvesting: the value of the corn, beans, pump cins and fodder; value of manure; rent ol !and; and every item set down in full. So I inow exactly how much it cost me to raise that piece of corn; and, thus, whether it pays me to continue raising it under such circum stances." This is only an example. All other farm operations should be recorded in somewhat the same manner, and then there would bean end of the continual "guessing" and "think ing" and ignorance in regard to those things we should know about.— G. E. Ti. in Work ing Farmer. WHEN IS A FARMER RICH? Arthur Vale, Willoughby, Lake Co., Ohio, writes: "We have many farmers iu this couu ly who have good housc-s, barns and orchards, aud who are out of debt: aud yet they work as hard as ever, and seem as unsatisfied as when they were poor. The question arises, "When is a farmer rich?" The best evidence tlrat a farmer is rich will be a pleasant bedroom in his house, contain ing a spare bed. On no occasion will any of the family need to occupy it; and there will be such conveniences that theguest will come out ready for the breakfast table. This room not only represents several thousand dollars, but also good furniture, carpets, and shade in summer. In most families this room is not obtained until the oldest girl has a beau, or the oldest boy gets the mitten. Moreover, the folks bave early cucumbers; and, from duly till frost, sweet corn. Every morning the fire is built of dry wood; twice a day, the year round, there is milk to strain; the hor ses are not heard stamping in the night: the hogs cannot run; nobody eats poor butter, or drinks coffee without cream: pickles are ta ken out of cider vinegar: if a child has a sore throat, there is no running to a neighbors for honey; even in September a few hens are kind enough to lay: if the old man suddenly starts for the county seat, a package of cake and cheese is handed him, and he does not mutter because a clean Rhirt is not ready; iu May some apples can be found in the bottoms of barrels, and in August there is lard in crocks and pork in the brine. After break fast, the father will be likely to read a chap ter in the Bible, and then bow before the Creator, confessing His tender mercies. We care not how many fat cattle a farmer may have, nor bow many dairy cows; nor hogs, in a yard four rails high, fed with whey and bran from barrels which steam iu the sun; nor how many acres running off toward a river: nor how* many thousand dollars are at interest; nor how much folks may stand aside when he goes into the store; if there is not a spare bed in his house, he is a poor man.— JV. }'. Tribune. W KEDIKC POTATOES WITH SHEEP.—It may not be known to farmers in general that it is a common practice in some of the potato growing districts to turn fiocks of shoep into the potato fields for the purpose of eatine — ... •*!. A,,, mn tone# a potatoe vine. This pasturing with sheep is very advantageous when the crop is a late 1 planted one, so that the hoeing cannot be ! completed until the haying or harvest is fin ished. At the growing season it is the plan ter's aim to keep down the grass and weed., so that they may be covered with dirt by the cultivator, and hoe, when these are used. Pasturing with sheep will attain this object. ' Early planted crops, the cultivation of which j is completed in the first half of the. summer ■ frequently become grassy and weedy before the time of digging—when the size of the tops ■precludes cultivation. In this stage the sheep are economical weedcrs. It is hard.y necessary to mention that the feed thus given to the sheep makes a double profit, inasmuch us it costs absolutely nothing, while laoor is saved and weeds prevented from seeding. MATCHi.miseries have been defined as having a cigar, and nothing to light it with. IT is supposed the man who left the house was not able to take it with him. WHAT is the riddle of riddles? Life, for we have "to give it up." WHY is the New York City election like the game of euchre? Because the party wins that carries the Five Points. WHO is the laziest man? The furniture dealer —hi keeps chairs and lounges aboutall the time. THE latest "love of a bonnet" out, is said to he very pretty: it is made of a glass bead and a white horse hair. "NONE but the brave deserve the fair." No, and none but the brave can live with some of thvin. AN editor publishes along leader on hogs. A rival paper, iu the same village upbraids him tor obtruding his family matters on the public. "My opinion is," said a philosophical old lady of much experience and observation, "that any man as dies upon washing day does it out of pure spite." Mas. PARTINGTON remarked the other day that "she had a resentment that she should eventually die in a prance;" adding "that the resentment troubled her a good deal, but she expected finally to get immured to it." A WIDOW I.ADT sitting by a cheerful fire in a meditative mood, shortly after her husband's decease, sighed out: "Poor fellow—how he did like a good fire! I hope he has gone where they keep good tires!" A I.AIIV asked a pupil at a public school, "What was the sin of the Pharisees?" "Eat ing camels, marm," quickly replied the child. She had read that the Pharisees "strained at gnats and swallowed camels." HORSE TOOKE returned his income at £6O a year: the commissioners were not satisfied- Home Tooke, in reply, said he had much more reason to be dissatisfied with the smali oess of his income than they had. WINI,E WEBSTER was Secretary of State he was present at a ball when a fop said to him, "Don't you dance, Mr. Webster? I never see you dancing." "No," said he, "I never had the capacity to learn how, sir." THAT'S IT.— We once heard of a very rich man who was badly injured by his being r. n ov-ir. "It isn't the accident," said he. "that I mind: that isn't the thing; but the idea of being run over by an old swill cart makes me mad." A I. AIM whose husband has deserted her, says: " May two hundred and forty-seven nightmares trot quarter races over his stom ach every night." This probably would be a relief to what he has endured. "L-AKIN," said a coquettish young lady to her cousin, prematurely bald, "why is your head like heaven?" ''Don't know, I'm sure," replied the swell, "unless indeed because it has a shining crown." "Good, but not cor rect. Because there is no more dyeing or parting there." ANXIOUS TO MARRY.— Once in a church A young man who carried the collection plate, before starting to collect, put his hand in his pocket, as usual, and then passed it round among the congregation, which numbered many young and pretty girls. The girls, as they looked at the plate, all seemed astonish ed and amused, and the young man taking a glance at the plate, found that: instead of a shilling, he had put a conversation lozenger on tne plate, with the words "Will you marry me?" in red letters, staring everybody in the face. None of the young*ladies, however, closed with the offer. THE GOIJJEN IIULE teaches us to do unto others as we would have others do unto us. At the same time it teaches us not to expect from our neighbors what we would not be willingj in similar circumstances, to do for them. Little George's colloquy with his mother illustrates the principle: "Now, George, you must divide the cake honorably with your brother Charles." "What is honorable, mother?" "It means that you must give him the larg est piece." "Then, mother, I'd rather Charles should divide it." IT happened during the war that a elergy gyman was posted to deliver a political ad dress. Both parties admired the ability of the speaker, and „he result was many of both parties were present. Father Babine chanced to be seated near a rank Copperhead, who took the occasion to remark to the old man at the close of the speech, as follows: Copperhead—"Your preachers mix poli tics with religion." Sabine—"What did you say?" The old man was hard of hearing. Copperhead—{Very loud.) "Your preach ers mix politics with religion." Sabine—"Yes, Union politics, lour kind won't mix." The kind o! politics that won't mix with religion we have no use for. The kind that won't "mix" ought to be denounced from the pulpit. FIVE liri.i.s.— A native of the land of po teen and potatoes, sojourning in a small town in Yorkshire, England, was one evening en joying himself, with several Englishmen, over a -pot of porter. The conversation turned upon the number of taverns in the place that had up the sign of the Bull, Pat boldly as serted that there were five, while the Eng lishmen mniiitauuid b.. e„... " *ew w <*r< offered and freely accepted by the Hibernian, who was then called on to name the live, which he proceeded do do thu<: "The Black Bull is one; the Yellow Bull is two; the Red Bull is three; the Blue Bull is four;" when he stopped, scratched his head, and at ießgth said: "And the Dun ('o*. "A bnll, a bull," shouted the Eng lishmen, Irish bull!" "Begorra, thin," says lat, "tfshe be a bull, that's the fifth, and I d thank ye gentlemen to be afther hand ing me the stakes." TAENTISTRY !
