Once year these two pages can be-
balanced, and you can see just where
you stand in the hog business. II
addition to the expense and income
pages for the different classes Of
stock there should be pages for keep
ing track Of changing works at
thrashing tine. for breeding records
for butter and cream. for poultry and
for any other special line in which
you are Interested. Lining up and
arranging the pages will make a
good rainy days job for some of the
children. and after that the time re.
quired to keep the accounts in shape
will be too small to be noticed.
Business methods in marketing are
also necessary If the best results are
to be obtained A daily market paper
is Indispensable i'll keeping posted on
the stock and grain markets and will
pay for itself several times over in the
course OF year A telephone is also
valuable for obtaining up to the min
ute market reports on special occa-
sions In keeping in touch with the
local butter. egg and poultry markets
the telephone is especially valuable. II
is also 4 time saver in many other
ways. so much SO that the UP to date
business farmer cannot afford to be
without one.

WARNING on high priced land
must be condul ted Oh business
principles If the greatest prof
its are to he realized. The
farmers work Is by no means done
when he has raised Il large crop of
corn or successfully fattened car
load Of steers. He must be able to
market his produce at profit and
must also know whether the steers
were fed at a profit or loss and what
it costs to produce each crop Of grain.
1t is a fact that the only way to
know just what you are doing and
just what parts of your farm are
bringing in a profit and what ones are
being run at loss is to keep books"
This does not necessarily mean com.
plicated system that will require half
your time to keep in shape. By a lit.
tie care the method Of keeping accounts
can be so systematized as to amount
to only few moments week
The first and most important book Is
the check book. The "check book hab-
1t" will often save great deal of
mOuey anu lfOuUle. IL you lose your
check book or have it stolen, you still
have your money left. You do not
have to waste time trying to make
change, since the check can be always
made out for exactly the right amount.
When you give man check in pay
ment for what you owe him. he must
sign that check before he can draw
the money on it. At the end of every
month the bank returns these signed
checks to you, and you thus have re-
ceipts for all the money you paid out
during the month.
For general accounts any good sized
blank book will answer. There are a
number of specially made farmers ac-
count books. but blank book which
you can rule to suit yourself will be
just as good or better The first page
should be devoted to an inventory of
the stock, grain and machinery, to-
gether with their value. Following
this should be a map of the farm.
Next to this should come the cash
account. A convenient and simple
way of arranging this is as follows:

Ten Doctors
Said He Would Die

"In 1903 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf-
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DR..
Miles Heart Remedy and Re-
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and Improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of camp meeting
work. I am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that I ought
to let you know of the wonder
full good results from its use.
MRS. T.. S. EDWARDS,
Miner, Ga.
This proves what DR.. Miles
Heart Remedy will do. Get a
bottle from your druggist and
take it according to directions.
1t does not matter whether your
heart is merely weak, or you
have organic trouble, if it does
not benefit you take the empty
bottle to your druggist and get
your money back.

When you take Kodol, the food you
have eaten will be digested naturally,
regularly and promptly, and in this
way Kodol gives the stomach chance
to regain its lost strength and health,

you do need it and if it fails to benefit
you your money will be refunded to
you. It is sold by Edward T. Tomas.

of what it costs to produce each par
ticular crop. In figuring the cost Of
labor enough should be added to pay
for the use Of the machinery. The
cost of seed will include cleaning, test
ing and other preparation. Perhaps
the best way to figure the value of the
manure applied Is to include it in the
rent Of the land. Thus the corn crop.
which receives the iirst benefit from
the manure, can be charged higher
rent on this account. The amount
charged to the cat crop will be less,
while the clover crop, which really
adds to the fertility Of the Land, will
pay the lowest rent Of all. Where the
grain is fed on the farm there will Of
course be no charge for marketing.
