CBy MRS A. j. WILDERD
The accounts are balanced for tina
past year and the books closed IL -
foD late now to make any difference
I'm the showing and we can only prove
our advance in knowledge by doing
better this year
Here is where the farmer who
Keeps his accounts in shape and also
keeps a record of the work done on
the farm. has the advantage OF the
one who thinks it is too much trouble
10 keep books. The farmer who does
not keep the farm accounts has a
small chance of profiting by either his
mistakes or his successes to the full
extent. Although one part OF the
fzrm business may be making him a
good profit and another be running
him behind he is nearly as apt to In
crease the losing branch rs the pay
ing one.
or course a man can keep good
deal of his business In his head. but IL
you have never made the trial you
viii be surprised at how different the
N1cd you udNc III yOut uodu may OO
from what the books will show.
Perhaps the past year has not been
- successful as you had hoped IL
vonid be. You may be just little
discouraged over the balance in your
SAVIOR at the bank. but il you have I'm
creased the fertility OF an acre of your
land. there is balance in another
sSnd of bank. and one where there
90 no danger of the cashier abscond-
Tag with the funds.
The increased productiveness of
ehe soil Is a balance In his favor that
very few farmers take into account
aud Il Is Just az real and tangible az
a money balance at the bank In town.
Talking Of accounts-there have
heen some articles going the rounds
sxtsay, telling the farmer that In order
rs ascertain if he is making any profit
frum his farming operations he must
ada to his HIST Of expenses each year
interest on the worth OF his farm and
all his farm equipment. considering
IL as 30 much money invested. which
OF course IL Is. The income from the
Farm must pay this interest as well
as All running expenses and what Ia

This is ali very well and good nusi
ness. provided the other side OF the
account is kept with equal care.
Don't forget to give the farm credit
for the living OF the family. IL the
interest on the investment is to be
figured at city interest rates. then sell

every bushel of grain or bail OF hay
that old Dobbin eats is to be charged
to the running expenses OF the farm.
then hire old Dobbin at livery rates
whenever you or the family take a
Sunday drive, or drive to visit one OF
mobile? When you get to that stage
you are probably past counting ex'
penses.
There is also the question OF fuel.
What farmer who has his own wood
growing on the place ever makes any
account OF what it is worth. While
we are setting down the debts and
credits let's give the farm credit for
the wood at market prices. 1t Will
help toward balancing the wages OF
the hired man, which have already
been put down on the debit side. and
will be no more than fair
Then there is the item Of house
rent. IL we make the farm pay inter
est on the money invested In the
houses and barns we have no right to
use them without allowing fair
rent. To do 80 would be making the
farm pay twice. Really we ought also
to allow rent on the land to the credit
of the farm 1t would help 1t, you
know. to pay its interest money when
due
There are. you see. two sides tt
this question OF accounts as well ~
to every other question.
While every farmer should keep 40
counts with and OF the farm, ht
should not be misled into classifying
them. IL these items on the credit
side are omitted or forgotten. while
all the debts are carefully put down
there is apt to be feeling OF dissat
isfaction with the years work. which
is unnecessary.
