Keep Accounts.

From every quarter we learn that
farmers owning cows from herds of ten
or upward, do not know what the men,
bers of those herds do individually
That it is a system of work called
'.don't know" Is there any greater
proof of the exceptionally profitable
business of dairy farming? Is there any
other simple line of business that could
stand such senseless disregard for the
first principles of business precaution?
Where is the store that does business
amounting to thousand dollars year
that can be carried on successfully
without keeping accounts-that does
not know what the outgo and the in
come isp that does not take stock once
or twice year so as to know what
there is on hand and be able to sell out
if necessary at any time when called
upon.
Is it possible that every dairyman is
ignorant of the amount of milk or but
ter yielded by his cows during the year
of 1882 If so, then we advise those
farmers and all others in the same pre-
dicament to hurry up a reform in
their line of business, and put
themselves in a condition wherein they
will be able to protect themselves
against any combination of adverse cir
cumstances. Then if machine, build
ing, pasture crop or animal does not
pay they tweed it OUT" that is, turn of
for such money as can be made out OF
it, and at least stop the expense, if not
make a profit, from the article that
proves itself by absolute figures not to
be profitable.
Farming is business, not pleasure,
and almost the sole criterion of every
enterprise on the farm is one of money
