BOOK-KEEPING.

It is necessary that every man should have some regular, uniform method of keeping his accounts. What this method shall be, the law does not prescribe; but, in cases of dispute, it requires that the book, or that on which the charges were originally made, be produced in open court, when he will be required to answer to the following questions :

Is this your book, and the method in which you keep your accounts?

Did you

make the charges, now in dispute, at the time they purport to have been made? Are they just and true?

Have you received pay for them, or any part? if so, how much?

An answer in the affirmative, under oath, to the above questions, (the last only excepted,) is all that
is required to substantiate his claim.

For farmers and mechanics, the following method will be found both convenient and easy. It con-
sists in having one single book, entering the name of the person, with whom an account is to be opened,
at the top of the left hand page, Dr., and at the top of the right hand page, Cr., as follows:-
