How Do You STa'D ?-One can not lay out his work to advantage, without knowing precisely how he stands with regard to his business. The beginning of the year is the , appropriate time for ascertaining it Frequently an account of business is kept for a month or two, and then neglected. If it is only to en courage habits of regularity and perseverance, it will be time well spent to keep an account, not only of money affairs, but a record of events for every day. This tends to beget promptness and system in every detail of farm work, and it business affairs, that foresight and economy which are everywhere the . prime essentials to success. K A REOn of the events of each day's work, and farm-life. One of the boys or girls should do this. A book will be needed, ruled with plain lines, on which to make the entries; put down the condition of the weather, the work done, and by whom ; purchases and sales made, indeed, anything that may be needed for future reference, or that should be entered in the ac count book, which will thus become a valuable and interesting record of the farm. MAxz AN INvENTORY :-Put down everything you possess, from the farm itself, to the small tools and utensils, and value each item fairly. Enter the money on hand, and also every debt owed. This is the first work in beginning an account. The property owned, and the money on hand, will be on one side of the account, and the debts on the other. The balance will show just how~ the farmer stands. This account will be the Account of BStoec. PEaH&sPs aian SALEs, are entered in the daily record, and from that into a purchase and sale book ; ex cept the cash transactions, which go into the cash book. THE CAsH BooK.-Every payment and receipt of money for purchases, sales, or for wages, should be en tered in the cash book; this should be done every evening, and before it is forgotten ; all these entries are transferred to a ledger to the pro per sccounts. The work is very simple and easy, and there are far mer's girls who keep all their fa ther's accounts in the most accu rate manner. Fuller directions for keeping farm accounts, were given in the American Agriculturist for January and February, 1879. Ume MEN.--A farmer should try to mxake work for ahired man, or several if possible. If he can find profitable work for them, he is making money for himself. A few~ months wages spent in procuring or making manure, draining, clear ig off stone, getting out stumps, or otherwise making the farm more productive, will be well invested. KmE THE STRT.E OLEAN! ; clear out the manure every morning, and scrape or card off all filth from the animals. The stable should be made so warm, that the manure will not freeze at night ; a lower tern perature will either demand a larger amount of food, or the animals will fall off in condition. CUT Ta LrnEam.-If the litter ic cut into 3-inch lengths, or even smaller, it will hold more moisture, will make better and finer manure, and will keep the animals cleanex than long litter. The gain in the quality of the manure, in one year, the saving in time in the handling, and increased effectiveness of it. will pay good interest on the cost of a windimill, and a fodder cutter, to do the cutting. But if the stormy and disagreeable days are chosen to cut up straw for this purpose, an abundant supply can be made. A broad axe can be purchased for $2.50, and with this and a block, a sheaf of straw may be cut into 3 straw can be procured, these make excellent litter and manure. Ecoo31 n FEEDING, is a very ?m portant consideration. In some cases half the feed used is wasted. Cutting the fodder has proved a saving of one-third to one-half. Where but 10 head of stock are fed if the feed of one-third or one-half can be saved, it is simply a large increase of the resources of the farm, and is sufficient to pay the cost of a good cutter and the time expended in cutting. WATERING STocK.-The supply of water in winter is a source of trou ble. Ice gathers about the troughs and other drinking places ; pipes freeze and burst, or become choked, and many other inconveniences oc cur. These may be avoided by methodical management. Have reg ular watering periods, twice a day. Fill the troughs from the pumps or cisterns, and drive the cattle to them and see that they drink. When all are supplied, empty the troughs and either cover them or turn them over. Have nc flowing water in the yards to waste and freeze, or become ice cold for drinking. A cold drink will reduce the milk from the cows 10 per cent. or more. WHEN TO APPLY MANusE.-The common practice among farmers is to make a general clearing, of the yards and barn cellars once a year, either in the spring or fall. Either practice makes a heavy draft upon the teams, and it has its disad vantages. If this work is done in the spring, it is when the ground is soft, and other work exceedingly pressing. If the manure is drawn out in the fall, and dropped in heaps upon the field to be cultivated next season, there is more or less waste by leaching and by evapora tion. There is a growing disposi tion among our intelligent farmers to apply manure directly to grow ing crops, or as near the time of planting and sowing as possible. It is felt that the sooner manure is put within reach of the roots of plants, the better for the crops and their owner. Manure is so much capital invested, and bears interest only as it is consumed'in the soi]. The barn cellar may be so managed as to manufacture and turn out fer tilizers every month in the year, so that the farmer may suit his convenience in applying them to the soil. When manure is not wanted for cultivated crops, it is always safe to apply it to the grass crop, either in pastures or upon meadows after mowing. Top-dress ing is growing in favor with our intelligent farmers. Grass pays better than almost any farm crop in the older States, and the spread ing of compost saves the necessity of frequent plowing and seeding. By top-dressing at any convenient season of the year, fields may be kept profitably in grass for an in definite time. Wnima LErucE.-Lettuce is one of the few vegetables that one might have the whole year-and we think it is eaten with a better relish in the winter and early spring than at any other time. The system seems then to demand variety and change-when the cold is relaxing, the days lengthening, and the warmth increasing. Every family that has a little garden spot can enjoy the luxury with very little trouble. All that is necessary is to build a frame of coarse boards, cover it with a closely-fitting glass sash, and place it in a sunny spot -somewhat protected. In this, plant the lettuce-sets, about six inches apart, in good ground, and keep them properly watered. They will grow all winter,,land in the early spring will form beautiful large heads to encourage the appe tite and agrace the table. The ear lier in the autumn this operation is begun the better. The Brown Dutch and Hammersmith Hardy Green are the best varieties for winter use. The seeds should be sown in September, and are so hardy that if planted in a sheltered situation and protected by a loose covering of straw and evergreen boughs, they will stand the winter well. If transplanted in a cold frame, as suggested above, they will do better and produce more tender, delicate, and larger heads. As a preventive and a remedy for many of the diseases to which do mestic fowls are liable when living under wrong conditions too much can hardly be said in favor of onions for fowls. They should be chopped up fine, and the fowls given all they will at up clan. We prefer .7liscellaneous. DrJUTT'S Expectorant I IN 25CTS. AND SI BOTTLES.

A dressing which is at once agree able, healthy, and effectual for preserv ing the hair. Faded or gray -hair is soon restored to its riginal color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hailr is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, ured by its use. Notlipg can re store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its :ccasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently.prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous an injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cam bi-c, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.

I'E SUN FOR 1880. THE SUN will deal with the events of the 'ear 1850 in its own fashion, now pretty well mihtierstood by everybody- From January I rutil I)ecember 31 it w ill be conducted as i newspaper, written in the English lan uuge. and printed for the people. As a newspaper, TIIE tN believes in get Ling all th: news of the world promptly, and presenting it in the most intelligible shape -the shape that will enable its readers to keep well abreat of the age with the least hmprod uctive expenditure of tine. The .reate.t interest to the greatest iumber that is. the law controlling its d tily make [p. It now has a circulation very much at--or than that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys an income which it is at all times prepared to spend liberally for t he benefit of its readiers. People of all monditions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read THE SUN ; and they all derive ?atistaction of some sorl from its columns. for they keep on buying and reading it. In its comments on men and affairs, THE tt believes that the only guile of policy houIl be conmmon sense, insl>ireti by gen uine American principles and backed by lhonsty of purpose. F:,r this reason it is. inl will continue to be. absolutely inde pen dent of party, class, clique, organization, >r interest. It is for all. Nut of none. It will continue to praise what is good and repro bate what is evil, taking care that its lan guage is to the point and plaiu, beyond the possibility of being misunderstood. It is unintluenced by motives that do not up pear on tie surice; it has no opinions to ell. save those which may be had by any purchaser with two cents. It hates in justice and rascality even more than it hates unnectessary words. It abhors frauds. pities iols. and deplores nincomnpoops of every species. It will continue throughout the wcar i"40 to chastise the first class. instruct the second, and discountenance the third. All honest men, with honest -onvictions, whether sound or niisthken, are its friends. And TIIE SUN makes no bones of telling the truth to its friends and about its friends whenever occasion arises for plain speak ing. These are the principles upon which THE SUN will be conducted during the year to come. The year 1S80 will be one in which no pa triotic American can altord to close his eyes to public affairs. It is impossible to exag gerate the importance of the political even.s which it has in store, or the necessity of r. solute vigilance ,i the part of every citizen who desires to preserve the Government that the founders gtave us. The debates and acts of Congress,the utterances of the press, the exciting contests of the Republican and Democratic parties now nearly equal in strength throughout the country. the vary ing irift of public sentiment, will all bear directly and effectively upon the twenty fourth Presidential election, to be held in November. Four years ago next November the will of the nation, as expressed at the polls, was thwarted by an abominable cCn spiracy, the promoters and beneficiaries of which still hold the oflices they stole. Will the crime cf 1876 be repeated in 1880 ? The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagent, and insolent Adninistration intrenehed at Washington. ThE SUN did something toward dislodging the gang and breaking its power. The same rien are now intriguing to restore their leader and them selves to places from which they were driv en by the indignation of the people. Will they succed? The coming year will bri.ng the answers to these monentous. THE SUN will be on hand to chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to exhibit them clear'y and fearlessly in their relations to expediency and right. Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor inlooking at the mainor affairs of life, and in great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of the people and the principles of the Constitution against all aggressors, THE SUN is prepared to write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time entertaining history of 1580. Our rates of subscription remain unchang ed. For the Daily SUN, a four-pagc sheet of twenty-eight columns, the price by mail, post-paidl, is 55 cents a month, or $6.50 a year; or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet oX fifty-six columns, the price is 65 cents a month, or $7.70 a year, postage paid.
