It will be Been by the above accc-uut that the actnal net pro- 

 fits of each iiehl^as they are usually repcrlodj (that is, without 

 reckoning the family espensee, farm improvements, taxe?, &:c.,) 

 is nearly eight hundred dollars — a very large amount for a fifty 

 acre farm™ the correctnes3 of which we do not doubt, as we have 

 had an opportunity of examining personally tho whole of the 

 premises. 



Farmers who have not kept well arranged farm records^ may 

 procure a small quarto blank book for lifty cents or less, ruled as 

 above ; every right hand page may be devoted to each fit Id or 

 branch of farming; and the left hand facing page, to remarks. 

 These' remarks, Jnade in season, whJLle the subject is fresh in the 

 fkrmer's mind, will form an excellent meraoranduai book of ope- 

 rations for the next year^ so that eri'ors may be avoided and suc- 

 cessful courses repeated, and iu the course of a few years such a 

 degree of experience attained in balancing profits and losses, as 

 «b^ll enable any careful and industrious laud-owner to resch the 

 highest saccessfol results. 



Palmyra, Januaty 22, 1853. 

 Dear Sir: I hops ycuwill not attribute my silence to Vtaiit of 

 interest in tlie subject presented me. I have made three statis- 

 tics of my business for the last two days, and in most instances, 

 merchants have opened their books to mc, and figures Iiavo been 

 made under my own eye, and in others, figures had been made 

 previous to ray calling.
