FARM ACCOUNTS. 



HAMPSHIRE. 



Statement of P. N. Richards. 



In compliance with the rules of the Hampshire Agricultural 

 Society, 1 present a statement of my farm accounts from April 

 1, 1856, to April 1, 1857, with a complete inventory of my farm 

 property, at the beginning and at the end of the year. And, as 

 I understand the object of the society is to ascertain the gain or 

 loss in carrying on the place, keeping the buildings in repair, 

 and spending most of the produce on the place, I have aimed to 

 keep my account with that object in view.
