may be losing in one department what
be IL making in another. He depends
upon the size Of his bank account or
the condition Of the family mortgage
to measure his success. One man who
had been keeping his books on the
barn door plan for 4 number Of years
was induced to make accurate accoun.
of every kind Of work done on his
farm. He found that his beef cattle,
his hogs and his wheat field were all
losing ventures: that the dairy paid
fair profit. and that the poultry de-
partment was the most profitable OF
all. Who can deny in the face Of such
4 revelation that knowledge il power?
A great many farmers would like To
know what a bushel Of corn costs. or
gallon Of milk. or pound OF live pork.
but they are either too indolent or too
ignorant to set down to business and

Take first an inventory Of all prof.
