farmers afford to operate without
farm accounts.
The first step in perfecting a SIM
pie system Of farm accounts is to
take an inventory Of the livestock,
crops on hand, implements, machin-
cry, etc. This should include notes
due debts unpaid, value of the
farm, etc. This will show a plain
statement Of the farmers working
capital, which is necessary in esti-
mating profit or loss at the end of
the year.
When the inventory is taken is
will be advisable to devise a simple
system of keeping records of the
farm, noting the number of DAYS and
the cost of labor for men and teams.
Thls is not at all difficult to keep, as
1t is only necessary to divide the
farm into various fields, according
to the crops grown, such as cotton,
corn, cats, peas, potatoes, etc.
Charge each field with the work of
men and team, fixing a definite price
for man and two horses, man and
three horses, etc, every time a days
work has been done in that field. A
small blank book can be ruled so
that 1T will be a very easy matter to
record these items, and this Informal
ton will be worth much to you. At
the end Of the year it will be a very
easy matter to determine the profit
on the various fields, as it will only
be necessary to balance the returns
from the crops with the cost of pro-
duction. If the products are fed to
animals, as will often be done, it
will be little more trouble, but the
animals or animal products may be
credited against the cost of produc-
ton instead of the crops.
In taking the inventory, estimate
the cost of the machines, nipple
ments, small tools, horses, wagons,
etc., at their present value. If a
machine cost 800 and it has been

used but one year and fair care ia
ken of it, it may be worth $95 now.
A horse that cost $3.50 may be SER
viceable for 10 years and if he has
been moderately used for three
years he would probably be worth
in the present inventory, $1O5.
The value of the land, including
house, barn, silo and other appur-
tenances, should be recorded in the
inventory, because this is the farm
er's fixed capital, which must be con-
sidered when profits are estimated.
The money invested in the farm
should bring interest in the crops,
livestock or finished products.
Profits estimated without including
the value Of the investment are not
profits at all, but wages for the man

vermont's First sugarmaking in 1852.

The first sugar made in Vermont was
at Bennington in March, 1852, in the log
cabin of the first settler, Captain Sam
uel Robinson. The sap-prohably from
trees on the hillsdes in Bennington
Center-was caught in short sections of
logs, followed out to hold gallon Of.
more.
The season at that time was favorable
for free run OF sap, the nights being
frosty and the days still and sunny.
Evaporation was performed in small
iron kettles, bought in Albany few
weeks previously. A liquor eask of good
syrup was obtained, but only small
quantity of sugar was made--30 or 40
pounds.
The precise method of tapping the
trees is not known Public records of
the time make no mention of sugar max
ing, and the only information on the
subject is in the diary of Hiram Har-
wood, the first white child born in Ben
nington. 1t began in 1910, covering 20
years, and was a continuance OF his IA
theirs diary begun in 1906. and giving
minute record of every day life and
many facts relating to the early history
of Bennington. The particulars of the
first sugar making were obtained from
