THE FARMER'S WIFE.
Oh ! give- me the life ot a farmer's wife
Tn the lielils aui woods so bright,
ifong the singing birds and the lowing herds
Ami the clover blossoms white,
fhe no( ot the morning's heavenward lark
Is ihe music sweet to me ;
(I the dewy flowers in the early hoars,
fiie geins I love to SC-o!
< ■, : give me the breeze from the waving trees,
The murmur of the Summer leaves ;
And the swallow's song as he skims along
Or twitters beneath the euvcs ;
the plowman's shout, as he's turning out
His team at set of sun,
it his merry "good night"by the fire-fly light
When bis daily work is done.
And give me the root aud luscious fruit,
That my own hand's rear for food ;
And the Lr, ad so light, and the honey white,
And the milk so pure and good !
Tor sweet the bread of Labor i::,
When the heart is strong and true,
Vnd a blessing will rome to the hearth and
home,
rf the best we bravely do.
Guessing in Panning.
it is a Lille surprising that, not
withstanding the improvement in
nearly everything appertaining to far
ming, so little has been effected to
wards inducing ianuers to operate in
a systematic manner,and keep record
and account of their arm operations
and business, generally and specific
ally. llut for one farmer that does
so ninety-nine keep all their accounts
"in their heads," and consequently
are lightly termed "guess farmers,"
for they never know, but guess it is
so aud 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 continue such a course of
husbandry, use such fertilizer, culti
vate 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 even
ing while I was filling up my record,
and said,as he noticed my occupation:
"What you doin I —book-keepin' ?"
"Yes ; a little. Fixing up my ac
count?. I suppose you keep farm ac
counts, don't you ?"
"Me ? no. It's too much bother. —
1 can keep my "counts in my head."
"Don't yon think it is better to have
something you can rely upon ? Any
body is apt to forget."
"It's well enough for storekeepers
aud sich to keep 'counts ; but I don't
see no need of a farmer doin' it.
"Isn't it as much for our interest to
look after our business as it is fur the
storekeeper to attend to his ?"
"Wall, yes ; I s'pase so,but what's
the use of a feller's spending time to
write down every thing about what
1m does ?■'
"It pays, Smith,"
"I don't see how."
"Well, see here. How was your
com crop this year.
"Pretty fair : thought the frost
hurt it some."
"Shall you plant some more next
year ?"
"Sartin. I alb rs plant corn."
"What for ?"
"What for? Why, because 1 allers
do."
"Yes : I sec. Now, Smith, how
much did that field of corn pay you?"
"Pay me ? Well I guess about—"
"That isn't it. Do you know ?"
"Well, not exactly : but I caP
late—"
"Never mind ; but, really now, do
you know whether you made or lost
money in raising that field of corn ?"
"Dunno as 1 do, for sartin."
"Now, look here, Smith. There is
my 'cornfield record.' I have written
down every thing connected with it,
and to-day I have summed it all np,
and I know all about it. Here is the
size of the field, and the kind of soil,
what grew on it last year, when and
how many times it was ploughed,har
rowed and furrowed, and also the
amount and kind of manure used,how
it was put on, and what I used for
top dressing. Then, here is the time
of planting ; time and manner of cul
tivating : how far apart ; where the
rows and 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 I have
got, in exact figures, the price of
every thing counected with it : Plan
ting, hoeing and harvesting ; the val
ue of the corn, beans, pumpkins and
fodder ; value of manure ; rent of
land ; and every item set down iu
full. So I know exactly how much it
cost me to taise that piece of corn ;
and, thus, whether it pays me to con
tinue raising it under such circum
stances."
This is only an example. All other
farm operations should be recorded
in somewhat the same manner, aud
then there would be an end of the
continual "guessing" and "thinking"
uud ignorance in regard to those
things we should know about.
L'OOKIXO POTATOES. —Professor Blot,
in his lectures on cooking,deprecates
the practice of cutting off such enor
mously thick parings /rum potatjes
as is the custom of most people, to
save the trouble ol neatly digging
out the eye, which lie 3 deep below
the surface. The lecturer's caution
seems t have been directed simply
against a shiftless style of manipula
tion, which wasted a certain bulk of
potato. If this were the extent of the
evil, it would hardly be a serious
tault, as potatoes are cheap and plen
ty, and the time saved might offset
the waste of food.
The truth is, however, that almost
the sole value of the potato is near
surface, ?o near that a very thick
peeling would take the biggest part
of the nut: imcnt. This is at once
tnade obvious by examining a thin
slice of potato with a microscope,
when the starch grannies will be
found lying in the greatest number in
a belt just under the skin and decreas
ing towards the centre. They are
placed here for thenourishme it of the
young sprout, which springs from the
"eye," and which being like beauty,
"only skin detp," is required to go no
deeper lor its food during the termi
nating process.
This starch is,for all practical pur-
I'-r'-M, the i stirc nutriment which the
potato ' ntaij.H, there being only two
per !:e,t of yU,'it,while seventy-five
