Keep . Record Of Your work.

Keep Record Of Your Work.
Every farmer is to great extent q
manufacturer, and ought to keep .
record of his operations. This is the
key to success In any. business. But
the soil-tiller should attend to some
other matters in connection with his
accounts. A writer in an exchange
suggests that map Of the farm, with
each field numbered, and It's size,
quality Of soil, ETC., specified will be q
great aid In keeping track OF the years
transaction. How many farmers have
such guide and convenience? And
how many kept such Q memoranda the
past year as will enable them to tell
them the expense Of each crop sown?
And how many about the domestic
animals? II you keep COWS what have
they paid you per head In the aggre-
gate? And what Of sheep, swine and
even chicken? How much did each
contribute to your income, and which
was the most profitable?
Those who can answer these peril
| nent questions must be we'll advised
in regard to their financial position,
many are utterly unable to give any
operations, or whether the balance is
on the right or wrong side OF the
ledger. 1t Is needless to say that such
management would soon wreck any
commercial enterprise, and hence the
frequent complaint that "farming
don't pay" Is not surprising. We
would suggest that you keep an accur-
ate account Of your doings, and you
will not only be wiser, but Ore long
richer In consequence. In fact, re-
solve that you will know how you
stand at the close Of another year

SOME FARM TOPICS.
interesting Information for Tillors
Of the Soil.

There's many q slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip, and many . miscue In
breeding up dairy herd. Granting
the truth Of what has been taught as
to the value Of intelligent breeding, 1t
is also true that the laws of heredity
do not overpower all other laws. The
most efficient rule in improving .
breed Of hogs is the 'sled stake rule. !"
That is, use stake on all pigs not 6ll-
ing the requirements. In . milder
form this same rule sends to the pack
ing house all of one class and reserves
as breeders the others This sorting
out is positive necessity in all kinds
Of farming, saving seed, grain, raising
hogs, growing beef herd or growing q
dairy herd. Progress is possible only
by selection. The rule that alike pro-
duces like" is not true when cut down
to absolute limits. II 1t were progress
would be impossible. Retrogression
and progression would both be un-
known were the rule of "like produces
like" absolute. We could only aver
age things by mixing. and could not
improve the breed nor even make q
new one. But like produces like with
q variation. Some will be better than
the parents. some poorer. The sled
stake rule will keep the herd up to the
highest excellence, or selecting the
best for keeping and disbarding all
others.
Sometimes q man finds his dairy
actually inferior after breeding for
butter than it was before. He may
have MIXED few excellent COWS of
ancestry and graded up with q dairy
sire. Some of the offspring may be
better than the mothers, some poorer,
and II he keeps them all he has an
inferior herd; II he disposes Of the
inferior ones and keeps only the best
he should find the herd improving.
This will be the result without buying
any improved blood. Selection is the
main thing, but the number that must
be discarded from herd not bred In
dairy lines must be greater. Therein
and only there lies the advantage of
breeding for butter or Tor any other
purpose. The number that must be
rejected is lessened by breeding In
the direction desired. Suppose q
farmer breeds to q Guernsey or
Jersey bull. The half bloods will
almost surely please him. He goes on
grading up" and In some instances
finds the higher he grades the poorer
his herd as Q whole. This Is discour-
aging, but Il fact we should face it
honestly. Why may this be? It may
be for the following reason: In grad
ing up the breeds from all Of the half
bloods and q portion of the offspring
inclines toward milk giving and = por-
ton away from it. The laws of varia-
tions gets in its work and some of the
higher grades are inferior to the
lower grades, and the farmer is slower
to sacrifice them. Hence his herd
may, rs q whole, actually retrograde.
Selection stands first of all as q
means for securing good dairy herd.
Raise many, save few, feed we'll and
success is sure. But, as said before,
sired line and selection for many gen.
erations in that line measurably flxes
traits and fewer individual animals
have to be discarded Exchange.
