Once a year these two pages can be
balanced, and you can see just where
you stand in the hog business. In
addition to the expense and income
pages for the different classes Of
stock there should be pages for keep

thrashing time, 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-
CURED 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 in keeping posted on
the stock and grain markets and will
pay for itself several times over in the
course Of a year. A telephone is also
valuable for obtaining up to the min
ute market reports on special occa-
dons. In keeping in touch with the
local butter, egg and poultry markets
the telephone is especially valuable. It
b also a time saver in many other
ways, 80 much so that the up to date
business farmer cannot afford to be
without one.

farmers work is by no means done
when he has raised large crop of
corn or successfully fattened a car
load Of steers. He must be able to
market his produce at a profit and
must also know whether the steers
were fed at profit or loss and what
1t costs to produce each crop Of grain.
1t is fact that the only way to
know just what you are doing and
just what parts of your farm are
bringing in profit and what ones are
being run at loss is to keep books"
This does not necessarily mean COM

Tie care the method Of keeping accounts
can be so systematized as to amount
10 only few moments a week.
The first and most important book is
the check book. The "chcck book hab
1t" will often save a great deal of
money and trouble: If 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-
ce1pts 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 &C.
count books, but blank book which
you can rule to suit yourself will be
just as good or better. Tie 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:

of what it costs to produce each par
ticu!ar crop. In figuring the cost of
labor enough should be added to pay
for the u"c Of the machinery. The
cost e seed viii include cleaning, test
ing AID ether preparation. Perhaps
the best way to figure the value of the
manure applied is to include it in the
rent Ct tie land. Thus the corn crop,
which receives the first benefit from
the manure, can lie charged a higher
rent on this account. The amount
charged to the oat 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.
The cost of clover seed, which is sown
with the oats, should be charged to
the next years clover crop.

in the affirmative as far as he himself

A cadet, freshly graduated from

When he came to the Concord COM

Forty-four per cent. of the sons OF
automatically minded men, includ-
ing scientists, inherited the love of
and aptitude for science from their
fathers, and only IA per cent. Of the
daughters of such men. In the case
Of mothers who were devoted to
scientific pursuits, 100 per cent. Of the
sons inherited the gift, and not one
among the girls. Girls showed dis.
tinct tendency to copy any rowing dis
position which existed in the mother,
the boys following in the fathers foot
steps in respect to either rowing or
stationary dispositions. The gift of
clever talk and assurance in company,
as we'll as the quality of self-study or
self-criticism, was shown to come in
every case in both boy and girl from
the father, and in no case from the
mother. All traits which gave evil
dence of good nature or constituencies
were to be referred to the influence
of the father, very rarely OF the
mother. T.. -'sEs'slve'~ 'sssa:s7+
Tendencies toward foib1es or crime
were to be ascribed almost wholly to
the father. In the case of melanchol-
ia, dementia, epilepsy and imbecility,
the fathers influence prevailed in at
least 80 per cent. of cases. Strangely
enough to record, interest in sports,
such as cycling, skating, hunting, fish
ing a16 par'or games, came almost
invariably from the mother, likewise
the tendency to BIZ very neat in dress.
On the other hand, punctilio III affairs
of business and honor were ascribed
entirely to the fathers side-in no
case to the mothers.
In the matter of literary ability, evf-
dence was conclusively in favor of
the father, though artistic talent was,
in the greater percentage Of cases,
traced to the mother. Only frac-
ton over two per cent. of all the men,
tai characteristics traced we're shown
to be outside the sphere Of heredity.
The final conclusion is, therefore, that
we must ascribe our particular tai
ents and personal foibles, in the great
main, to our ancestors, either mediate
or immediate.-New York World.

USE OF CHLORIDE OF CALCIUM
IN MINES

Consul-General Richard Guenther,
OF Frankfort, writes that the great
catastrophe at the coal mine Rad
bod" in the Prussian province of
Westphalia, which occurred on No
miners lost their lives, has again
called public attention to the danger
of coal dust in mines and the pre-
vention OF consequent explosions. The
consul-general comments:
Among the many evils which the
presence OF finely distributed coal
particles in the air can produce, the
danger of explosions In coal mines Is
most preceptible. A prominent Eng
lish expert recently delivered lee
ture before the Institute OF Mining
Engineers with reference to the pre-
vcntion of coal dust danger in mining
and stated that the most effective
means is q solution of chloride or cas-
cium.
It Is only Of recent date that the
great danger of the presence OF coal
dust has been recognized, although as
far back as 1903 John Buddle called
attention to Il in a report. But only
In 1874 the possibility of coal dust
explosion, by itself considered. with
out the presence Of fire damp, was
correctly recognized Today coal dust
liz regarded as the chief factor In mine
explosions. The quantity formed In
the pits is not even large one. IL
the bottom of the galleries is once
cleaned of the dust 1t takes quite q
long time before considerable guam
tity has collected again, The use OF
water Is not effective as, In brittle
rock, crumbling of same Is easily
caused and induces danger of col.
lapse. Chloride of calcium does not.
The use Of solution Of this salt. or,

In consequence Of its great hygros-
copic properties is soon converted into
a concentrated solution. is capable OF
preventing the formation of dust for
three months. The only objection
against 1t Is the expense, so that re-
course may be taken TO cheaper sub
stitute. (. G., rock salt The result OF

ROMANCE OF A CONVENT

When Pastukhin. captain In q Rus
clan cavalry regiment heard that Irma
Mazlenikoff had been placed IN the
convent Of the Passion at Simbirski
he vowed to effect her release. That
he, her lover. snould be debarred from
entering the convent, drove the cap
tain nearly to distraction. However,
he found consolation In the thought
that Irma was ever thinking of him,
and knew that sooner or later ne
would devise plan for her escape.
One morning u buzz of excitement
ran through the convent From nun
to nun and student TO student 1t was
whispered that the good Sister Super
ior had received an important letter
from the Holy Synod at st. Peters
burg. On the morrow, 1t announced,
Father Solovieff would be pleased to
pay the convent an official visit of in
spectlon.
Many eyes peered at the good father
as he drove up in carriage drawn
by three splendid horses. But il the
good father was pompous in coming.
he was charming in manner, and de-
lighted the heart of the Sister Su-
perior by his praise of the order and
discipline that marked her regime.
In the afternoon Father Solovieff an
nounced that he must examine all the
students of the convent, so that he
should be able to carry thorough re-
port Of the convent to st. Petersburg,
both as to its conduct, condition and
learning, Naturally such an unlocked
for request created a flutter OF ex"
citement among the students. But
everyone agreed, from the humblest
nun to the Sister Superior herself, that
that there could not possibly be a nicer
priest In the world than Father Solo
vieff, and, besides, there was no rea-
Son to fear that he would find the stu
dents lacking In learning.
So, one by one, ,ne students entered
the examination room and there were
examined In their studies by the good
father And one by one each emerged
full of the praise that he had bestowed
on them. He was the most charming
father who had inspected the monas-
teryl After the examination Father
Soloyieff made his report to the Sister
Superior. The teaching In the con-
vent. he declared, was excellent All
the students had done well. But there
was one who had far and away eXcell-
ed all the others. This student was IT.
ma Mazlenikoff. She, the good father
informed the Sister Sperlor, was too
far advanced for the learning of the
convent, and he had decided to remove
her at once, and to place her In the
famous convent of the Kremlin at Mos
cow.
Flattered by sucn praise, the Sister
Superior bade Irma Mazlenikon fare-
well.
A few days later the papers an
nounced the marriage of Captain Pas
tuflhin to Irma Mazlenikoff, and the
good nuns died of horror when they
learned how they had been deluded by
the charming Father SoloWeff."
