How to Estimate tho Profits. Of a;
Farm. - :

The farmer lives in his own house.
The use of the ho1ss, which he does
not pay for. is as much part of his
income as The MONEY which % salaried
man pays for rent is. of lis; and should
be counted rs sucl, in an estimate Of
the profits Of the farm. All thinigs pro
duced on the fiu m and cohsumed,on the.
farmers table, including the vegetables
from the garden, the eggs and milk
used in cooking g3ateas much a part Of
his income as the money, paidHor suoh
things out of his, salary, is Of the salar.
led man. IF farmer gives his wife
aud children a pleasant ride to town,
using his own horses and wagon, the
value of their use is part of his income
from his farm, A- truly as the money
man pays out Of his salary for carriage,
hire is of his. The ,correetlrule for
estimating the income from farm is
substantially this: Give credit for
every article produced, used OF expend
ed in any way whatever, no matter how
small in value, as we'll as for cash re
celved for products sold, and for in
creased value of farm property, and
charge against Che farm for interest on
capital Invested, and for ali expendi
lures. The farmer that viii do this

like complaining Of the unproftab blenesa
OF farming as compared with other pur
suits. The fact is, not one in Hundred
farmers take into consideration, the lux

milk, fruits, etc, that they would have
to paJ high prices for if they lived in

thi"ss. The fact is, you have have / no right

too, for that matt er. 1t will make Won
feel vastly better, and, may be, tribe
