SOME SIMPLE FACTS ABOUT DMRYING

/ ton of oats contains $7.26 worth
OF fertilizer constituents.
/ ton of corn contains 1915 worth
OF fertilizer constituents.
/ ton Of clover hay contains 1907
worth of fertilizer constituents.
l ton Of alfalfa contains $3.50 worth
Of fertilizer constituents.
A good COW will produce 5000
pounds of milk per year; If this milk
is sold, 1927 worth Of fertility is
sold OF the farm. To produce 5000
pounds Of milk, this COW will eat
about three tons of alfalfa hay, con-
tanning $3.50 worth of fertilizer con.
stituents. If fed a grain ration OF
corn and oats she will eat about 1850
pounds Of corn and $50 pounds OF
oats, containing 1924 worth Of fer
tilizer. Thus, by feeding this grain
to the COW and selling the milk. the
saving of fertility would be 1884
minus 1927, which equals $29.17. II
this COW made 300 pounds Of butter
from this 5000 pounds Of milk and
the butter was sold from the farm,
there would be a greater saving OF
fertility. The saving in this case
would be 1884 minus s cents, which
equals 1856.

Whether behind the counter or behind
the mule team, It Is a matter Of net
profit. To master ones business,
there must be a knowledge Of the
outgo and income, gained only by q
periodical summing up and the COM
pairing OF results. The modern guide
to this is the ledger.
For the farmers need there are
suitable systems Of bookkeeping at
nominal price. These are arranged
and accompanied by instructions so
that the average 15-year-old son or
daughter may, in a few minutes q
day, keep all data needed to deter
mine what farm departments show q
profit or o loss and which show the
greatest profit.
The necessary books are journal,
day book and a ledger. The first
should consist of a record of all bust
ness transactions with dates and par
ticulars. This record should be made
daily and should include all that re.
lates to cash, labor or material. At
least once a week these items in an
abbreviated form, should be carried
(posted) to the ledger and placed un.
der such headings (accounts) as:
Cash, labor, poultry expense, hay,
team, hired help, live stock, grain.
Or better still, especially II the bust.
ness Is large, some Of these ac-
counts should be subdivided, as: live
stock into yearlings, milk cows, work
horses, colts, etc., grain into wheat,
corn, ETC., or into cornfield No. !,
cornfield No. 2, expense into cloth
ing, groceries, machinery, seed, etc.
The greater the number OF ac-
counts kept and the more accurate
the data and distribution Of cost, the
more definite the results. In taking
the items to the ledger (posting)
every account should be debited for
what 1t costs in cash, seed, feed, la
Dor, ETC., and credited with what Is
sold, used for food or on hand. March
l, or sooner, these accounts should
be balanced SO as to show losses and
profits.

Here are some Of the simplest
dairy facts" in the primer, written
In the agricultural college by Prof.
o. E. Reed, for the rural schools OF
Kansas:
The greatest advantage in dairy
farming is its relation to the fertil-
ity of the soil. No other. system OF
farming excels in this respect, and
but few equal it. A farm used for
dairy purposes does not lose in fer
tility but gains, and may be used for
this purpose almost indefinitely.
Selling grain is selling soil fertil-
ity and no soil can grow grain year
after year without sooner or later
reaching the point where this ex-
haustion is felt. When soil fertility
is sold OF the farm 1t will have to
be purchased again in the future
either through feeding stuffs or as
commercial fertilizer.
When animals or milk products are
sold OF the farm, only a small por-
ton Of the fertility Of the entire crop
is sold, while the greater part OF the
fertilizing elements are returned to
the soil in the form Of barnyard ma
nure. The fertilizing value OF our
common grains as compared with the
fertilizing value of the products OF the
dairy farm figured at prices of COM
mercial fertilizer shows less decrease
In fertility by dairy farming.
1 ton OF butter contains SOC worth
OF fertilizer constituents.
/ ton of milk contains 5000 worth
Of fertilizer constituents.
/ ton of wheat contains $7.7b
worth OF fertilizer constituents.

w APHAZARDNESS in business
transactions Is the broad road
that leadeth to chaos, failure
and despair and many there be that
walk therein. II is said that "Op-
portunity is the gateway to success"
II this be true, system Is the mar
row highway leading from opportu-
ity to success. System requires q
suitable record OF business transac.
lions 80 classified that the condition
Of the business may be known. Every
banker, merchant or manufactures
knows that neglect in this matter
means ruin. The higher our stan
dard of living, the more We are de-
pendent upon one another and the
more complex our business relations.
This makes bookkeeping more nee
essary to him who would avoid the
pitfalls that cause disappointment to
nine.tenths of those going into busi-
ness.
Generations ago when every family
constituted q little commercial world
Of It's own, the head Of the family
giving his time and energy to fishing
or hunting and to gathering fruit,
nuts and fuel from the vast forest
about him, no record was needed.
But when It became necessary to
plow and to SOW, to travel and to ex-
change products, records were neces-
sary to avoid endless confusion en-
failing losses and lawsuits. II Is said
that more than three-fourths OF the
petty lawsuits that kept our courts
busy twenty-five years ago were
caused by lack of suitable business
records. Where contest arises now,
Il is the main business Of the attor-
ney to look over available records
and settle the matter out of court.
Twenty years ago one central Kansas
county had nearly 700 cases on its
docket; now it has about thirty.
The average farmer is still inclined
to dodge bookkeeping. This is part
" because often a certain degree Of
success may be realized without 1t,
or because a man is opposed to "red
tape" and thinks he cannot afford the
time. The merchant and manufac'
turer bases the selling price on cost.
How many farmers can tell what 1t
cost them in money and labor to pro-
duce a bushel OF wheat, a pound OF
butter or a fat steer? Bookkeeping
on the farm will not only make 1t pay,
