KEEP ACCOUNT
WITH THE FARM.
1t Helps to Reduce Expenses and Shows
Which Crop Pays the Best.

Farmers as rule, are too negligent in
this matter. They often complain of hard
times, cheap wheat and low prices for all
other farm products when they are utterly
unable to state just what their products
cost them per bushel Or per ton. 1t is one
of the most satisfactory accounts a farmer
can keep and has been largely the means of
enabling correspondent of american
Agriculturist to reduce the cost of produc
ing a bushel of wheat from ST. in 1882,
to "a cents in 1894, allowing the same pay
for labor expended and for rental OF land in
each case. The cost of all other crops was
also reduced, but the reductions were not
so marked as in the case noted While it
has strong tendency to reduce the cost of
production, this is not all. 1t enables
farmer to know whether he can afford to
sell his products at prices prevailing when
we wants to sell. If he raises them at 4,
loss he will know it, and, again, it is Il
great help in showing him which crop pays
best on his farm, SO that he can grow more
of what is adapted to his soil and climate
and is most profitable.
Any cheap memorandum book will
answer the purpose, but an indexed ledger
is better. Then plant your farm and name
Or number the fields, stating how many
acres each contains.
When you begin farm operations in the
spring, charge the field with all labor at
given price for hand and team, IA given
price for hands where team is not used also
II seed grain at it is worth at the time rs
seed and lastly charge the field with a certain
amount of rent or interest on investment
Don't forget to keep dates for all thcs"
charges, for they are wonderful satisfac
ton in after years. When you gather the
crop, give credit for the product in bushels
or tons, and at the end of the year it is an
easy matter to determine the exact cost of
each product. When once accustomed to
keeping snch accounts, the desire to con-
tinue them will grow.

4 Great Interest Taken at the Seat OF
War.
OGDEN, Sept. 9-The Hera1d's ex-
elusive and complete expose Of the
plans Of the desperate plot to Hberate
prisoners charged with the murder of
Staunton and Melton was the greatest
sensation which has startled Ogden
since that other Startling expose made
by The Herald Of the Hermans case.
st first the news was received with
incredulity. That such a Desperate
gang could hope to maintain them
selves and go TO such lengths in Utah
seemed at first impossible. That they
could rob q bank in Idaho and bring
the money to Utah to spend it in free
ing their pals seemed most too daring
a scheme to be eren planned
But as the cold facts given by The
Herald were studied the truth became
plain beyond all doubt.
When at length the facts became too
apparent to admit Of doubt there were
some who volunteered the information
that in some way The Herald had vio-
lated confidence reDosed in its repre-
sentatives by the officers.
This carping, however, was not in
dulged in by the officers themselves
Sheriff Wright spoke freely TO The
Herald TePOI Ter, saying tnal W0lle ne
was sorry that the report had appear
ed. still there was no breach Of faith
The Herald had got at the truth N
its own way and had published it, that
was all. There were one or two minor
inaccuracies such as the statement as
a fact instead of a. suppositiOn that a
warrant had been issued for Swift
Swift came into town yesterday az
usual and was not moleSted. The Tea-
son that the sheriff and his deputies
regretted the matter was that they
feared the men would take warning
and not come to Ogden. Had they done
so, the net was cleve11y spread to
catch them or had they allowed their
whereabouts to became known the Off
GERS would have gone for them at once
with q, posse but the men were too
sharp to appear at this place
1t is assured beyond a reasonable
doubt that the men came here before
when it was expected that the trial
would come up but were very cautious
even then about their movements. At
that time the Montpelier robbery had
not been committed.
AS they had come here once it was
but natural that they should come
again.
Swift talked freely to a Herald re-
porter, saying that he thought him
self rather maligned by implication ait
least in the way which his name had
been connected with the Montpelier
robbery. He said he came to Ogden

AFTER MANY YEARS.
An Old-Time Suit Is Finally Settled
Forever.

NEW YORK, Sept 9-The suit of
W. H. A. Brown, as administrator of
the estate of W. H. Brown, who died
in October last, to recover s., 600 900 and
interest from October 1858, from the
estate of Commodore Vanderbilt, was
brought to end today by a decision Of
the appellate division OF the supreme
court upholding Justice Pryor's ruling
that Brown is not entitled to examine
the business accounts OF the late Com
modore Vanderbilt. The decision is
final. No further appeal can be ia
ken
The plaintiff says that on March 81,
1851, Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Vanderbilt
made an agreement to run a line of
steamships from San Francisco to
New York. The line thus formed was
the origin of the Nicaragua Transit
company. Mr.. Brown, in 1852, Dor
rowed $4,000 from Mr.. Vanderbilt,
giving as security ships valued at $780,
600, which were to be returned when
they had earned the amount borrowed.
The plaintiff said they were never re-
turned, and demanded $4,000, 600 and
interest. The suit began with a ques-
ton as to whether the plaintiff should
have access to the books and accounts
of Commodore Vanderbilt and his es-
tate.
