Farm Business.

The average farmer has as large an
investment as the average merchant,
yet the average farmer does not keep
accounts. To be sure, he does not do
business with as many people as does
the merchant Yet he does business
with several animals, machines and
crops, any one of which is liable to
get the best of him if he hasn't some
way to check up with it.
Merchants hesitate sometimes about
trusting their customers for large
amounts. Many farmers turn over to
a COW ION tick" twenty to thirty dol
lars worth of feed and ten to twenty
dollars worth of labor each year with
nothing to show for it but the cow.
Some cows never pay up but have a
standing account getting larger each
year, and the longer you keep them
the more they owe. you. Some COWS
pay every cent and then throw in 4
nice. bunch for profit. Which kind OF,
cows are you keeping? It is easy to
find out. You will hear about it at
the Farmers Institute held here on
Thursday, January 3Oth.
The speakers coming here are
practical and successful farmers who,
like you, are too busy to keep books,
yet they will show how many valu-
able facts may be known by farmer
regarding the various enterprises OF
the farm, by just . few figures. Bring
