AS To MILK.-A "mllk route" Is not

known of milk route In Lowell being

consisted mainly OF "good will" the

ally worth less shan one-s xth of the

seller, that he Oan afford to pay but
little Tor the good will of customers
who may at any time be induced to
leave him for cut down in price. A
mix seller may set upa business In g.
volving tho sale OF 800 quarts OF milk IL
day, ny Investing from $500 to 5000 be-
sides tho bonus he has to pay tor his
route, which might perhaps, be as much
moro. But milk producer must in
vest from $4,000 to SIC 900, or perhaps
even more, to enable him TO produce
5oo quarts OF milk day, and it requires
good deal OF knowledge and expert

THE SIMPLEST FARM BOOKKEEPING
--For an ordinary farm writes cor
respondent, would have but ono book,
and that one ruled after the form of
the merchants cash book, and keep 1t
very much In the same manner, !. e.,
on the left hand page would enter
all the debts, and on the right hand
pago all the credits. From these two
pages balance could be obtained at
any time desired to know how the
account was running.
The first account would open would
be the farm. On the left hand page l
would enter the present cash valuation
Of my farm implements, and all new
| ones bought and repairs made. On
the right hand page l would enter the
amount received for any implements
sold or returned, etc. Next would

In my book. On the left enter what
consider fair price for labor done, cost
of all fertilizers put on that field, and
all seed put on same. On the right
hand page the cash value of all that
the field produced. The balance at tho
end OF the year would show me the
profit or loss on that field. And from
the amount OF this losk or gain would
know whaG next to do with it. With
out this knowledge how could intel
ligcntly cultivate this fold in the
futureH l might have All opinion as
to what profit had, but such opinion
would be far too unreliable to bass any
future operations on. In like manner
would treat every field on my farm !;
my sheep, holding separate accounts
with different breeds, If l had such /;
with my dairy cattle, my stock cattle,
my working cattle, my horses and
horse teams, my hogs, my poultry, etc.
Each of these accounts Will show It's
gains or losses from which can de-
eide the future management. At the
end Of the year l would be placed on
the right hand or Or. side OF the farm

was worth less or more than at the
commencement of the year, and Just
Wherc the loss was sustained or profit
made; i. e., which field or depart In ent
