We are not stating the case too
strongly when we say tina: not one in
thousand of our farmers keep any
thing like a complete set of farm ac-
counts. Not one of that number can
tell what it costs TO put bushel Of
wheat corn or oats on the market.
how much corn they put into the cat
tic or hogs they sell (unless they have
TO buy all the food. exactly how
much grain or hay is grown on the
farm. how much milk or butter is pro-
duced. much less how much should be
credited to each COW owned, and so on
through the entire list Of farm products.
Without doubt many a field Of
corn in our great corn States is grown
al loss. many fat steer or hog is
sold Tor less than they cost. and many
cow in good dairy herds does not
give milk enough or of good enough
Quality to pay for her keep. These
aacis are admitted by farmers as alto
gether probable. yet they take
n: steps to change this unsound
policy. but pursue the even tenor of
their way and complain that men in
other lines of business are getting rich
while they are getting poor Docs
any one think that merchant, man
macturer. or a railroad, would long
keep from being sold out by the
sheriff If their business was being con-
Quoted as loosely as is that of the av-
