Book-K eeping for Farmers.

The following clipping from one of our

may hc proiitch by reading II; Book.
keeping is science rs il il applied in
large financial and commercial institutions
but with most business men II Is very
simple and oftcntimcs imperfect system Of
accounts. Comparatively few farmers
make any attempt Ia keep systematic
farm accounts, and. doubtless, not one in
n thousand can tell even approximately
what his annual income and outlay are. ar
what Il costs him To produce pound of
tobacco, n bnshcl of corn, or any other
article raised on the farm. This Is not
because 50 few farmers are compstcnt To
keep an intelligent set of farm accounts.
hut because of negligence or belief that
they do not have time to devote To their
Journals and lcdgcrs. Therefore the ne.
ccsSiiy of keeping anything more clabo-
rate than memorandum account book
has not been fcl, by many farmers, and
now the older ones are not generally 10 bc
expected to go 10 bookkeeping and change
the habits and ideas of a lifetime. II will
pay every young farmer, however, to begin
at once TO keep a sci Of accounts, more or
less elaborate, according to his education,
ability and the necessity Of his operations
Oi course the most important account
will be that devoted 10 resources and
expenses, in which every item of incO ne
and cent paid ou, should he placed on op.
posiic pages. Then the cash account
should he accurately kept. and the book
keeper ought always To he certain that he
has little cash an hand. Individual aud
family expenses should De- kept separate
from the farm expenses. Each crop
should have II page devoted To- il, aud also
every other production. rs cattle, hogs.

small farmer 10 keep them straight so

Perhaps the accounts will not in all in

will show the farmer just where his pro-
Tits are made and his LOSSES occur, and
teach him just where To correct his errors
or amend his methods. II will certainly
pay any farmer To keep complete and
