" For the be-t plan of a book in which
the farmer can record his practice and ex
perience in the plainest, mo.-t simple and
concise manner.
The value of a well kept farm record
can scarcely be over estimated. It should
Le clear, explicit, and comprehensive—
should contain the daily operation of the
farm, notes ol the weather and its vicissi
tudes ; all in'eresting items about tire ani
mals of the farm, dairy, orchard in short
everything worth remembering nLout the
operations of the farm, which must neces
sarily be bringing n.ai y tilings together
not properly conttecled but only to be re
membered ; the other the book for future
reference, or ledger.
The arrangement of the daily journal
wou'd be very simple—the book to be fill
ed regularly from the beginning, with the
date prefixed to each day's recdrd, so that
it would be a continuous record from one
day to another through the year.
The ledger should be large enough for
the purposes of one year, of may be sufii
ciently largo lor several years It should
contain, under seperate heads, so as to be
easy of access, all the substance t f the
journal, with some important additions—lt
niuy bo arranged as in)lows ; First an a'pha-
Tetical index, containing the names of the
subjects treated of in the bonk, with the
number ot the page assinged to it standing
opposite, Each subject in the ledger is to
be treated seperaely. on a seperate page,
and to contain only what the farmer will
need for future reference, Much of this
matter is to be drawn front the journal, and
may be transferred at regular intervals—
■each week, or month—or at the most con
venient times. If Apples be the subject of
the first entry, it will be put on the "A"
leaf in the index and given the first page in
the bonk. If Wheat is the next subject, the
name is to be put on the "W" leaf m the
index, and to occupy'the second page ; and
so of each subject to be treated.
The ledger will contain much that need
not be recorded in the journal—as the kind
of crop, when put in, when harvested,with
the yield, would be very useful lor future
reference, and compare one year with an
other. In this way, the yield of the farm,
or any part of it, is easily made out.
In its appropriate place, at the end of the
year, will be made the balance sheet, con
taining the expenses, the losses, and the
profit. This could bo made very readily
from a well arranged book.
In this way, a farmer will in a few years,
have laid up astore of experience that will be
alw ays valuable,andespecially if he is a man
of progress; for if it is cultivation at one
lime is faulty, the record of it is continually
before him, and the admonition will not be
lost— Cor. of Genesee Farmer.
RAIDING POTATOES UNDER STIUW. —In the
May number of your excellent Cultivator,
1 requested your subscribers to try the ex
periment o'n raising potatoes under straw,
promising that I would do so and give the
result. On the Blh of June 1 put about half
bushel of very small potatoes in a corner
of the field, on the sod, and covered them
with about Bor 9 inches of straw. A few
days after we had rain, and the potatoes
g-ew astonishingly, so that this fall 1 col
lected about a bushel of large and sound
potatoes. I was obliged to take thein up
early, on the sth of September, as the field
was dented of grain and stock turned
into it. Four persons of this county have
tried the same experiment, and succeeded
beyond their most sanguine expectations.
This is certainly a cheap way of raising
potatoes, and pieces of land, which, from
stones or stumps, would be lost, are thus
turned to profit Country (imHemin.
SORROWFUL.— The Gettysburg (Pa ) Com
piler gives an account of the loss of a li tle
boy, four years of age, a son of Mrs. Oyler,
of Cumberland county, lie strayed from
home, and the whole neighborhood started
out on the search, scouring the surrounding
mountain through the day, and displaying
lighted torches alter night. After two days
and nights, the little fellow was discovered
nearly nine miles from his homo. The
Compiler then adds: "The little dog, which
had been the child's playmate, and which
had accompanied him in his long and faith
ful journey, was found nestled in the child's
bosom, with his head reclining on his cold
and lifeless form. This lailbful dog had
tramped quite a path around the lifeless
body of the sleeping innocent, thus betray
ing the affection which it had for the youth,
ar.d in its fond caresses had licked hack the
hair upon the child's forehead. The corpes
was conveyed homo to its weeping mother,
who, under the peculiarly afflicting circum
stances, was almost frantic with grief."
The River and Lumber.— The Susquehan
na, which has been at a fair stage for some
time past, commenced rising on Sunday
last, and up to yesterday morning it has at
tained such a height as to put it in first rate
rafting order. We learn that quite a num
ber of rafts, principally of timber, have ar
rived within the last few days at Harris
burg, and several at Marietta. A number
of new "Bald Eagle Boats," built at Lewis
burg and Selinsgrove, for a New York com
pany, have arrived at Columbia.— Hanover
( York County) Spectator.
A minister of the gospel, with not much
of a pulpit gift, came into the place of wor
ship drenched with rain, and said to a
bro her who stood by as he brushed, and
whiped his clothes, " I shall certainly take
cold if Igo into the pulpit so wet." "Oh
no," was the reply, " you are always dry
enough there."
The words of women are more intoxica
ting than wine, and dearer ?" Jones says it
is so. It costs me 810 every time his wife
calls him " My dear," while uothing less
than 8200 is deemd an equivalent for her
dear Hubby."

THE ACKNOWLEDGED
l%;:m CIIM APIONII
I : 1-, THE recent trials at Read
j'ng have endorsed lliecur
rent of public opinion, and
confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively that "Her
ring's" is the only sale that will not burn.
Extract from Ihe Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Sales at Reading:
"On Ihe 26(!i of February all the members
of llie Committee met to witness the Safes
ana books and paper", (placed in them) and
! were perlerity sutished that all was right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
Alter a fair and impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on Hie in
side, and the contents partially consumed,
while the cements in the Sale of Messrs.
Farrels & Herring were in good condition,
and no fire inside."

And endorsed by over 50 of the best men
of Heading.
The above Safes can be inspected at 34
Walnut Street, where the public can satisfy
themselves of the great superiority of the
"Herring's Patent Champion," over the de
feated and useil-vp "inside Iron Door Sala
mander." FARRELS & HERRING,
34 Walnut St.. Philad'a.
Only makers in litis Stale of Herring's
Patent Champion Safes.
The attempt made by other parties to bol
ster up the reputation of a Safe which has
failed signally in accidental firen in Philadel
phia, (Hanstvad Place,) by taking one out
of an agent's store, [H. A. Lanlz.] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to ' burn up" one ol Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its true reward. Herring's Sale
could not lie burnt, proving conclusively that
lite only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
of which over 15,000 are now in acluel use,
and tnore than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.
