In their true light and the farmer
If he is c. p. A.---enabled to dis-
cover tho weak spots in his business

Would you like to know the "fac
tors of proftableness" in farming?
Professor Spillman says they are:
l.. Low real estate prices.
e. Farm products Of classes de-
ficient in supply.
8. Magnitude Of the farm busi-
ness, measured either by land farm
or amount of labor required.
4. High quality in products.
8. Reputation of the producer ap-
plies especially to the production OF
pure breeding stock.
8. Advantageous marketing.
Z. Productiveness Of animals kent.
8. Largest yield with relatively
little labor and fertilizer.
3. Low cost Of production. Un-
wolves good farm organization.)
10. Stability of profit depends on
the staple character of the products.

this loss amounts to the immense sum

This is the third serious epidemic
In thirty years. The first period
reached its climax in 1886 to 1887 and
the ratio was 1874 per thousand head
The second outbreak developed in
1896 and lasted until 1897 at the rate
Of 144 per thousand. Iowa, the worst
sufferer Of the present epidemic,
which began in 1911, lost over 1,s0O,-
900 swine, more than fourth Of
the entire number in the state. In
the southern states usually the heav-

greatly in the northern
states. The tendency Of the three
epidemics has been in general way
To move as q wave from south and
east to north and west. A reliable
serum and strict quarantine are the
only measures known with which to
fight the disease successfully.

Urge Cost System

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May a.
Mr.. American Farmer, C. P. A., that's
what the United States department
of agriculture is endeavoring to make
out of the tiller of the soil. And up
to date farmer is almost equal to T.
certified public accountant. He de-
termines the cost, income and profit
of each individual enterprise on the
farm. He knows about the Taylor
efficiency system or something like It
to determine the management and use
of man labor, horse labor and farm
machinery. The cost OF living on the
farm is figured out in detail and saw
ings discovered through the book
keeping records.
Farm cost accounting is . science.
The department gives it considerable
attention. Mr.. Farmer is advised
that commercial cost accounting will
not necessarily do for the farm. The
thing which distinguishes II from or
dinsry business is that the farm, IL
addition to being business and factor,
combined, is a home. And the home
finances are so involved In those oI
