MILLER...DUDGEON WEDDING.

The Rochester (Indiana) Evening Sen
tinel Of last week had the following
interesting account of the marriage of
Alma's popular grocer, Mr.. Ralph Miller;
AT o'clock this morning, Miss bessie,
eldest daughter of Mrs. Carrie Dudgeon,
was united 10 marriage with Mr.. Ralph
Miller of Alma, Michigan. Only the
near relatives and few friends of the
bride were present and it was pretty
little home wedding, Rev. Switzer Off
ciating i'll his usual eloquent and inn
pressive manner. A 7 o'clock wedding
breakfast had been served and after the
wedding the couple took the northbound
l.. T.. & w train for their future home
in Alma. The bride has always lived in
Rochester has wide circle of friends
here. Hers is sunny soul and she
will make happy home for her hus-
band. The groom is a young business
man of his town end has the reputation
of being a trustworthy and enterprising
gentleman.
The out-of-town guests were; Mr.. and
Mrs. L, c. Jewell and o. {. Miner of
indianapolis, O. l.. Miner and wife and
Helen and Mary Miner Of Peru, Miss
Stella Engler OF Walton, and Fred l..
Dudgeon of Dayton, Ohio.
When the Miller Dudgeon party left
town this morning the couple enconn-
tered strange circumstance as they
entered the train. Some one met the
train at the water tank stop and told the
peop'e aboard the car that a newly mar
ried couple would get aboard the train
at the station and the groom's name
would be Ralph and the brides Bessie.
So when they got aboard the car every
body got up and congratulated the pair
as Ralph and Bessie, and as all aboard
were strangers to them they almost col
lapsed with surprise.

FARM ACCOUNTS

| doubt very much if there is a
person in any business and making a
success of it, who does not keep ac.
counts, and if there is one who is max,
ing his business profitable in dollars
and cents, could we consider him truly
successful unless he could be able to
give figures and records of all trans.
actions and to show which part of his
work was bringing him the best re-
turns and which the poorest. Farm.
ing is surely a business and the profits
are not so great that any n can ig.
more the farm account book.
A farmer or business man should
so manage that for all labor expended
he will be amply repaid, for this is
business and this can not be deter
mined without the account book and
even the time spent in the keeping of
these records should be included and
be made the means of securing still
greater profits. In this manner the
time spent in keeping them will be as
well paid for as any other branch of
farm work.
To be fully complete farm book
keeping will, of course, include every
transaction and record even to the
smallest detail.
We will then first want a pocket
memorandum book, for with it We can
jot down things al they ecu and
never be obliged to depend entirely
upon the memory. Next a cash ac-
count of all payments and receipts,
which should itemize the expenses
separately for groceries, clothing,

LABOR, taxes, interest, rent, insurance.
machinery improvements, etc, Then
We should have an account with each
crop, live stock, branch of farminl,
etc, giving the number of bushels of
corn. oats, etc, the number of Mead
or hogs, cattle. etc, sold, how much
poultry, eggs. milk or butter bought
or sold together with the price per
oushel, head. pound or dozen. This
also necessitates the weighing and
testing OF the milk IN the dairy: an
egg record with the number of eggs
laid, used. set, sold. etc. together with
a record of the young chickens hatch
ed ana the percent of the hatch for
the poultry the amount and cost of
feed for all the various kinds of stock
the amount OF labor spent on each
crop or kind of stock; Each should
be credited with what Icy produce
and charged with what they consume.
live stock should be credited for the
manure produced also and the crops
on which it is applied should be charg-
ed for 1t; that is as near as it is
practicable for of course some will
remain In the land for the next sue
ceeding crop. An account for the
farm may include work. etc, which
belongs to the farm in general and
also the summaries of all other ac.
counts and then wnen this farm &C,
count is footed up, you will have the
net proht OF the farm above your labor,

etc. To do all of this brings the
farm scales in as another necessity.
they will be useful in weighing the
various crops, the gain of lie stock,
as well as securing the correct WEIGHT
on all produce sold.
To do all of this will seem to the
average farmer too much WORK and
trouble and of course the farm &C
count book may be just a simple one
or more extensive as the farmer may
wish but the more complete the ac-
counts are kept the greater the chanc-
es OF better and more successful farm
ing. Time is money" and the main
thing in this as in other work is sys-
TEN and good management.
My accounts are kept in several
books which | am obliged to do in order
to find suitable rulings. A month.
ly time book is handy for the keeping
of the daily work on the various
crops, weight of milk, egg record,
etc, while a double entry ledger comes
handy for the accounts of the various
crops, etc. BY using these books of
suitable rulings the time spent in
keeping and summarizing the ac-
counts is greatly reduced.
Ii we farmers only had a book which
would include all the different kinds
of ruling necessary, in the same farm
account the problem would be solved.

ARGUMENTS POSTPONED.
Capitol Fraud Cases Hold Up Two

Philadelphia, Sept. Glowing to the en-
gasement of Attorney General Todd in
connection with the prosecutions of the
Capitol fraud cases. the argument on the
city's exceptions to the courts ruling in
the Pennsylvania Railroads two-cent
rate suit, which was to have been heard
in common pleas court. has been post
pOned until the following Saturday. This
delay precludes all possibility OF getting
the matter before the supreme court and
disposed of before Oct. /, the date the
new rate law becomes effective, as had
hecn hoped for in some quarters.
In the meantime the officials Of the
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads con-
tinue reticent as to what action they will
take on that date other than that pre-
viously expressed, that there is no dispo-
sition to evade the law in the interim.
