' l '• I TITE FARMER'S DEPARTMENT. From -the-Genesee Fanner. TO FeIIWIERS. ' The close of the year.—Farmers, the close of the year is approaching, and we sin cerely hope that you will be aware of the importaoce of closing your farming business and acctihnis with it. Not that there should be auipeasion of business at that time, but that ,you may say to yourself, I have finished the-year's labor; I have settled all my ac. counts, acrd I know exactly what the profits of the list year have been. Under such circumstances, a man can commence a new year with more hopes than when his ac counts are unsettled, and he at a loss to know whether his last year's labor has been at tended with gain or not. To those who have hitherto 'neglected to keep accurate accounts of their farming operations, we would earn estly recommend that they immediately make preparations for so doing the coming year; and as an inducement, we offer one year's number of the Genesee Farmer, to the one who shall keep his fitrming accounts in,.4be plainest and inwt accurate manner; keeping Dr. anctter. each important • e e-the-fullarriount-of-caintalenr--- ploy&rin lands, stock, utensils, &c.; and _ transmitting to us, at the end of the year, a duplicate, or copy of such account, whiCh we will publish, it requested. Were a few such accOlints ke it b our , ractical farmers amid S.: , tie public would be in possession ] of fakti from which they could draw conclu "lons as to the interest which might be ex =om capital invested in agricultural which information they are deli: - , cient in at this time. It has been said that farming is a hard la boriouahusiness, and is attended with but __Amok profit; mid with these-impressions, pa-- rents who have sons to provide for, have se leCted professions in preference to agricul .tura; but we think, that were the accounts of ihrrners as accurately kept as those of mer chants and mechanics, and they as industri-, ous the balance of profit would be in their -Other reaso . ns are advanced in favor ofpofessions, as inducements for young men to engage in them, many which we think are ridiculous and absurd; but many of them ate rendered so by the fiirmer's own consent; and of course they ought not to complain. Oita powerful reason advanced is, that "the fanners have little or no , influence in‘public hnsinesse" this we grant is correct, and why It is not because they have not as much in ferest at stake as other of asses of society ; neither is it beiruise there is a want of in tellect among them, but because they under rate their own consequence, both as to num bers and capital, and if they abandon their own *tyres", who can they expect will take care iiMi t if any society is formed of which - -- the - farmers - compose'the - rriajority; - a - iiirbfh - - - - eers rci - be appointed, who' . de they elect _ any--but--a-fariner., If town officers arty to 'be chosen, who do they vote for?—any but farmers. If for the county? sometimes a mechanic is taken, out of compliment; but rarely a farmer. If for iistate or congres sipnal representation, who do farmers make choice of, or-rather who do they vote for 1 (for they are not allowed to select; this is done by the office hunters themselves.) Not fin farmers.- Why is all this Egyptian bon dage, 'that farmers must servo task -masters hose --- interests arc separate and contrary from their own?
