COST OF PRODUCTION.
The Way the Farmer Can Learn
Which Department Ia Paying
Him Profit.

Before any man engaged in business
Of any kind can know whether or not
his business is paying him a profit
above the cost of production, he must
determine what Is the cost Of produc-
ton. This Is always done by mer-
chants and manufacturers, and rarely
done by farmers. Yet there is no class
of business men who need careful ac-
counts more than the farmer II he
wishes to prosper and not merely drift.
For the farmer, who is in reality con-
Quoting several businesses at once,
may be losing In one department what
he is 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 b 4 keeping his books on the
barn door plan for a number OF years
was induced to make accurate account
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
a revelation that knowledge Is power?
A great many farmers would like to
know what bushel of corn costs, or
gallon of milk. or pound Of live pork.
but they are either too indolent or too
ignorant to get down to business and
find out.
Take first an inventory of all prop
| erty; then record cost of articles .our-
chased and the price received for every
species OF produce sold. It then re-
quires an estimate, based upon market
values, OF every item produced upon

being placed upon ones own labor; an
estimate for rent or interest: insur.
ance; depreciation in value Of stock
and merchandise: wear and tear. After

BIG INCREASE IS SHOWN
 IN POSTOFFICE BUSINESS

Nothing Is a better index to the growth of city than the increase in the business of its post office. Taking this as a criterion the claims of Mont gomery's admirers that the city Is on the highroad to that JOG, ,000 population by 1910 are fully justified.
 The receipts in every department have shown a remarkable increase according to the statement of business for the fiscal year ending June 30. This statement was completed yesterday. The amount of mail matter handled has taxed the force to the limit. Pro- vision has been made for putting on two extra carriers and two extra clerks.
 The Increase in the gross amount of cash handled by the office during the year ending June 30. 1908 over the year before was $333537.25.

The yearly salary is now s3.Ann.
 During the first six months of 1906 1,042 more letters and parcels were registered than in 1905. In 1905 the number of pieces of matter registered was ss4O while in 1906 1t was 7,SS2.
