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.—

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

"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

says lat, "tfshe be a bull, that's the fifth,
