which enables me to know my exact valuation; also to 
know my progress from year to year. The practice of 
keeping our farm accounts accurately would most cer¬ 
tainly conduce to close observation, make us more care¬ 
ful in all our farming operations, and in the end make 
us more thorough, systematic and profitable farmers. 
The expense of labor on my farm the present year, up 
to the first of December, amounts to $517.21, but about 
$300 of this has been expended in cutting wood and 
burning coal, from such of my timber as was not valua¬ 
ble for other uses. I found ready market for it in our 
village, and always returned with a load of manure, 
when it was to be obtained. This coal and wood to 
the present time amounts to $954, a sum sufficient to 
pay all the expenses of the farm, (including the cut¬ 
ting of wood and burning coal.) and leaves an overplus 
of $436.79. I will here state the cost per bushel of 
raising some of my crops: wheat, 38 cents per bushel; 
barley, 28 cents; oats, 124 cents; beans, 364 cents; 
timothy seed, 934 cents; potatoes, 8| cents; hay, about 
8s. per acre. My work is principally performed by 
persons hired by the month; pay from $8 to $12 per 
month. Have three small dwelling houses that I usu¬ 
ally rent for about $90 a year to some of my help.
