FARMING AS A BUSINESS.

Probably no occupation is carried
on with so little regard to business
rules at that of farming. The farm
er requires more education and a
knowledge OF a greater variety Of
subjects than any of the so-called
learned professions. The man who
knows only how to turn a good fur
row, prepare the soil for the seed,
stop the growth OF weeds and pro-
mote the growth of plant, has not
mastered the art of successful farm
ing. Nor has the man who knows
only how to raise fine horses, sleek
cattle or fat swine, or how to fertil-
ize his fields to the best advantage,
raise the best corn or potatoes or
the highest yield of oats or barley.
The man who today really makes a
thorough success as a farmer must
combine all these elements of knowl-
edge and many more.
1t used to be said that any fool
could be farmer, but at the pres
ent day people begin to realize the
fact that the farmer needs che most
education. The time has gone by
when the haphazard, slipshod, go-as-
you-please methods of farming can
be made to pay. What would be
thought of the manufacturer who
did not know to the fraction of a
cent the cost of the raw material
and labor put into a yard of cloth,
or the manufacturer of leather who
dldsnot know the exact cost of the
material and labor required to make
a case of boots and shoes. And yet
how many farmers can tell the cost
of pound of butter or pork, a
bushel OF potatoes or corn, or a ton
of hay? They sell their products
for what they can get offered, not
knowing whether they are making
or losing.
The remedy is this: When farm
ers come to realize that farming is a
business as much as manufacturing
or banking or buying and selling
goods, and by careful keeping of
accounts learn to figure the cost of
every article they produce, then a
successful beginning will have been
made. Let them keep debit and
credit with every acre of corn, po-
tato or grain. Charge each acre
with the interest on its value, the
probable amount of fertilizing ma
terial used by the crop, the cost of
labor in its care. Credit with the
market value of the crop produced.
The difference between the two will
represent the profit or loss. A like
account should be kept with the
herd OF cows. If any one of them
entails a loss upon you dispose of
her. Keep a strict account with
the orchard, if you have one. Debit
it with the labor employed in it's
care and in the harvesting Of it's
fruit. Credit it with the value of
its golden product and learn from
the balance on the right side of the
ledger that it is one of your best
friends. The farmers book is one
of reference, to which he can at any
time refer for date of article bought
or sold, and price given or received
for the same. Having learned to
calculate the cost of the products of
the farm, the next business is to
know how to sell them. Make a
study Of the markets and learn tor
yourselves the price of those things
you wish to sell.

all is that as l have heard to-day from some

ITO slay and eat" Ronald repeated in
surprise. "What does that mean, sir?"
"Ah, that question shows you have not
been long in the colony" the settler said.
"You know, the Kafirs live at ordinary
times entirely upon a vegetable diet, but it
is their custom upon the approach of war to
eat meat, believing that flesh gives them
courage and ferocity. However, as it was
only three weeks ago that the chiefs all
swore to be peaceable and faithful, hardly
think that there's any danger of an outbreak
for some weeks to come, perhaps not for
some months. You see, it is just midsum-
mer now, and my crops are nearly fit for
cutting. 1 sent most of my cattle away a
fortnight since, and when 1 have got my
crops in shall shut up the house and move
into Beaufort. We have many friends
there, and shall stop there until we see what
comes of this business, and when it Is all
over shall dispose OF my farm. 1 do not
think there is any real danger here: We
have always been on excellent terms with
the natives, and ANITA, who is chief of the
tribe in this part, often comes down here
and begs bottle of Cape smoke or pound
of tobacco. He has smoked many pipe in

tiers from their stupor. The men, aided by the
troops, harnessed the horses to their carts,
lifted the wounded and dead into them, and
taking with them few of their valuables,

AT one OF two houses the attack had not begun,

Others the party arrived too late to save, al
though they were able to avenge by surprising
and cutting of the treacherous servants who.
aided by the Gaikas from the hills, having muir

shared the fate of their employers, showing

'I am glad to see you," the other said,

hope; but you will be able to stay with us
till tomorrow
Ronald Mervyn availed himself several
times of Mr.. Armstrong; invitations, and
when on patrol In that direction. went in for
a chat. He was always cordially received.
"We have ha6 some of the Kafir police
here" said the farmer to him one day.
"What do you think of them?"
''They seem smart fellows and we'll up to
their duty. So far as l can see they are
just the sort of men for border police work. I"
Eyes" Mr. Armstrong agreed, con any
other border but this. To my mind they
are much too closely related to the fellows
in the bush to be pleasant. They are all
we'll enough for following up a trail or ar
resting a stray thief. and would, dare say,
be faithful enough if opposed to any tribe to
which they were not akin, but / doubt
whether they will stand to us if there is
trouble with Sandilli, Macomo, and the rest
of them. You see how powerful the in
fiuence of these chiefs is. When the order
came, pretty nearly every Kaffir in this
colony left instantly, many of them leaving
considerable arrears Of wages behind. If
the tribal tie is so strong that men entirely
beyond the reach of their chief come home
the instant they are summoned, how can it
be expected that the Kafirs in this police
force will fight against their own kindred?"
"It does not seem reasonable to expect
such thing certainly" Ronald agreed. 81
cannot think myself why they did not raise
the force among the Fingoes. They are just
as fine race as the kaffirs, speak the same
LANGUAGE, and yet they are bitterly hostile
to them"
"Yes, it would have been BETTER" Mr..
Armstrong said. ST think that there was a
prejudice against the Fingoes in the first
place. They were not powerful people
like the Gaikas and Galegas and Basutos.
A good many of them had escaped from the
chiefs who held them in subsection, and
loafed about the colony. As all Kaffirs are
given to thieving and drunkenness when
ever they get the chance, the colonists
looked down upon them more than upon the
other natives. Not that there is any reason
for their doing so, except that they saw
more of them, for all the Kafirs are the
same in that respect"
