what. At night, all I had to do was to transfer these amounts 

 to my general account book, charging each corresponding crop 

 or account — the work of but a few moments; or, if I had 

 not the time, any evening, I kept the slips till a leisure 

 hour, or even the end of the week. They constitute your 

 journal, or day-book. In adding up the different amounts 

 carried out against each crop, etc., to the right, on your slips, if 

 the sum total does not every da} come out alike (absentees, 

 etc., deducted), you know there is an error somewhere to 

 luuk for. Thus you prove the account of each day's work 

 and amount charged against each crop or account, to be correct 

 and free from errors. These slips (or pages in a pocket mem- 

 orandum book) should be preserved. 



I give a few actual examples, showing both sides of one 

 slip or page :
