First, there should be a general account with the whole farm. Each item paid odut should be charged to debit, and each item received should be placed to cre it. Second, there should be a separate, special account kept with each field, each crop, and each animal. There should also be a tool account, a fence account, a manure account, a compost account, an account of repairs upen buildings, and as many other accounts as there are points upon which knowl edge is needed, for it is the only sure way of ascertaining the profit and loss in any and every department. How a F arm Account should be kept. Premiums have been offered by sev eral of the agricultural societies in the State for the best formula of book keeping, adapted to the farmer's use. These premiums have called out many efforts to supply the want; and some of the systems presented have much real merit in them. But an objection which lies against nearly all of them is this they are too complicated to be generally adopted a term or two would be required under a tutor to render one, not an adept at book keeping, famil iar with them. It is not proposed, in this paper, to present any specific system or manner, in which such accounts should be kept, but only to suggest and insist that each farmer should adopt such a system as he himself can understand, and which will give him the desired results. One who has suffi cient leisure, and the requisite knowledge, can adopt all the formula and machinery of double entry book keeping, undoubtedly, for an extensive business, the best system. Another, having less time to devote to 1t, can make a simple journal of all the daily transactions upon the farm, and from this journal, at the close of the year, draw out all the items of expense or credit which pertain to any particular subject, thus ascertaining the profit or loss in every department.
