THE SCALE ON THE FARM.

The scale is just as important on
the farm as in a grocery store,
says ". c.. Palmer Of the A. C. How
would the grocer succeed who, in sell
ing sugar should put in a few scoop
fuls and say, II guess that's about
right" or in selling nails should drop
a few handfuls in the bag and say, i
guess that's about it." The farmer
who guesses how much he is feeding
his COWS or hogs, who guesse3 at how
much milk or gains he is getting is
doing just the same kind OF business
as the merchant who should guess in
stead Of weigh.
The COWS and the pigs, etc, are the
feed and roughage. Now h farmer
needs to know what he gets In return
in the way Of pounds of milk, butter
fat, pork, etc. No successful business
was ever built on MISUNDERSTANDING
is no exception.
This brings to mind a case. A boy
who was learning how to test milk at
school. tested his fathers herd. He
also weighed the milk from each COW
morning and evening and kept a record
Of IT. He also kept a record OF the
feed given the cows. After a while
the 14-year-old boy informed his pa
that BrindIe didn't give enough but
terfat to pay for her feed. Pa looked
at him kind OF funny. The idea his
boy telling him that. Yet he did not
attempt to contradict the boy. He
knew the boy had been weighing and
figuring. The boy also Informed him
that Spot was paying a splendid prof
1t and Rosy was not paying for hel
feed and so on. What was to be done
The boys information was taken and
acted on. At the end Of the year the
herd had been reduced from twenty
one to fourteen COWS by selling the
poorest and buying some more good
ones. The fourteen cows gave more
profit than the twenty-one. That was
what a 14~-year-oid boy could do b.
Weighing and keeping accounts. This
time the boy spent In doing tina
weighing and figuring, only a few
minutes a day, brought more prof
than the day after day OF work put II
by his father. And these few minutes
! of work a day made 1t possible FOL
that father to increase his returns
year after year.

this rate, making allowance for the
smallness Of Partisan families, hard

choice. The total area of the streets

is calculated that the united length OF
all the vehicles in use would cover ar

other words, the accumulation OF
vehicles would represent about one
