has been done during the last year at n
profit or at a loss. He then proceeds
to. lay the plans for the conduct OF his
business In the year to come. The mer-
chant who does not do this, and Is
known not to do this, will speedily lose
credit among the bankers and business
men with whom he deals. and would be
considered In imminent danger OF
bankruptcy. for only in this way can he
find out where he stands financially.

stock. casts up his accounts. and finds
out the amount OF profit or loss.-Field

Experiments to determine the value
OF corn and wheat for producing pork
show that 10 produce one pound OF live
pork with shelled corn costs Lao cents,
and to produce one pound Of pork from
dry wheat the cost Is 4-57 cents. The
cost varies. owing to the difference In
the prices OF the foods. Pork from q

wheat costs 2.97 cents. Corn IS there
fore much the cheaper grain for pro
ducing pork.
