KEEPING ACCOUNTS.
How One Farmer Figures Out the
Profit on His Cows.

The overcoming bookkeeping
bugbear brings to mind a recent in
terview with one of the largest farm
ers in the east. who is bright man
and large wholesale baker. Thomas
Kelley. He said: AS business man
have learned that the books must be
kept right If the proprietor Is encour-
aged and not discouraged. and is led
to venture into the business still more
extensively. The rule applies as well
to farming as to other business.
In operating my four large farms. l
charge them with only the wages.
with things bought and with the other
real expenses. and never with things
the farm produces. If. for instance. l
debit the farm with its own hay that
is used. l really charge the hay twice
because the wages paid help have pro-
duced that hay just as much as the
wages set the fence posts and do the
work
No man is right IL he figures that
the hay sold is worth a stated sum
and hence milk is produced at such a
cost. If l wronged my farms that way
in my bookkeeping l would appear to
be losing money every year and /
would soon dispose of my country
property. for to carry on a business
one is not skillful enough to conduct
profitably. is not reasonable.
This winter l shall keep 100 cows,
feeding 300 tons of hay. II l figure
that hay at its market value I find
that my milk costs me more than l
can buy it for in the open market. but
don't do so. Neither do figure in the
wear and tear on the stock. / merely
charge a cows actual shrinkage in
value between the time buy her and
her selling price. This Is an actual,
not an imaginary transaction. II l
hire help and am so lacking in skill
that I do not raise what hay, stalks,
grain, etc, I require and have to buy
them, | must charge up the things
bought, of course. just as | credit my
milk. eggs and potatoes. am not
satisfied with COW unless can clear
an actual profit on her every day, even
II it is not more than five cents, and

HAVE GOOD LITTERs.
Pure BREEDS Are More Profitable Than
Common Stock.

Although I am a breeder of hogs
with them as some others and there
fore perhaps may not be very good
authority The size OF the filters pro-
duced on my farm, as nearly as l can
remember by thinking back, will av-
erage about eight. The most common
size l should think would be about
six. The largest litter ever produced
on my farm was IL. 1 have seen IA
in a litter and have heard of larger
ones but have never been lucky
enough to see them. The best size I
believe depends upon the way the SOW
suckles the pigs, but generally sow
cannot properly feed more than six
pigs. So far as the size of filters
is concerned, says a correspondent of
Farmers Review. l believe that pure
bred sows produce as large filters a3
they can properly handle. do not
like to cross. l do not notice any de-
crease in the size of filters of the high
bred sows. There is no doubt how
ever, that feeding has great deal to
do with the size of filters and that II
an animal is not rightly fed it will
tend to decrease the size of the lit
tiers. I think If both the male and the
female are kept in healthy condition.
that is. not too fat but everything
right. there will be no trouble in get
ting good-sized filters. The feed and
care l consider about nine points on a
score of ten.

FORTUNES IN SABLE SKINS.

The empress coat is made from

tween $e50.000 aud 100000. while
that which Queen Maud wears would
be worth nearly half as much.

that within the last two years the

TAKING CARE CT TOOLS.
They Should Be Under Shelter and In
Their Places.

Ona of the greatest needs on the
farm is for a system by which the
tools may be taken care of. I heard
farmer the other day make the
remark that he had seed drill that
he had used for 80 years and that i
would not have lasted 10 years IL 1t
had not been kept in the shed. That
illustrates the difference in the ways
of keeping TOOLS One farmer will
leave his tools out in the sun and
rain, and in 10 years an expensive
tool is ruined Another will use the
greatest of care about his tools. and.
in 30 years the same kind of tcdl
will be good for still more use.
find that it is not always expen-
sive to build a tool shed IL one caI.-
not afford a tool house, writes a cor
respondent of Farmers Review. la
the building of two Of my out-build-
ings, a barn and a shop for general
work, l had them placed SO that tina
back of the shop made right angle
with the back of the barn. In these
two sides no windows were needed,
and this left two sides already COLI
structed for my tool shed. Then al
| L
the shop and barn and l had COOL
shed for my large tools. The smaller
tools are taken care of in my wo.f
shop.
I find that the best plan for taki1 g
care OF small tools and OF parts of
large tools is to have great many
pegs and hooks on the side OF the
shop. The tools are then always IN
sight and IL one always puts the sane
tools in the same places it is not
difficult matter to find them when
wanted. A tool that cannot be -ound
when wanted is about the same as 10
tool.
One of the greatest troubles on the
farm is to compel the hired men 10
put the horse tools in the shed. One
farmer that l know says he never
allows a man to unhitch his horses
from machine till it is at the door
of the she'd Then it is an easy mat
ter to put it in. This seems little
bit tyrannical. but with some men it
is about the only way of getting the
things looked after.
No matter how much care is taken
with the machinery in the way of pro-
viding a shed for it. find that 1t must
have careful attention on the part OF
the owner to make sure that the nuts
are kept tight on all the wheel ma
chimes. One of the most vexatious
things about the care of farm ma
chimes is the tendencies for the bolts
to work of and get lost The working
of of a single nut on the end of holt
may put the machine out of use FOR
hours and perhaps days. The nuts
work off because they are not looked
after. l wish some one would invent
some system of making it impossible
for nuts to work off.
There is another thing that should
be kept in mind and that is If the
bolts are permitted to be loose the
machinery will wear out rapidly. as
the play between parts is ver1 de-
structive to the several parts. 1 do
not believe that any kind of q tool
will last very many years unless the
bolts and nuts are kept tight when
the machine is being used.
