THE FARM INVENTORY PAYS
STOCK ON HAND SHOULD BE DE.
TERMINEp ANNUALLY.
BY o. r. johnson, Assistant Professor
of Farm Management, Uni
versity Of Missouri.
Take q farm inventory.

The annual inventory should be con-
sidered AZ important by the farmer as
by anyone else, because the farmer
uses and controls n larger amount of
capital than any other class of bust
meas mon. II for no other reason than
70 have list of the property which
he Possesses. every farmer should
take an inventory. 1t will show him
from year to year the gains or losses
I'm his business.
The taking OF an inventory does not
mean q large amount Of difficult
work II means that man list the
different kinds OF property which he
owns and determines its value. The
things to consider are these: Real
estate, farm equipment, live stock
feeds and supplies, household equip
ment and supplies, bills receivable
bills payable and cash. II these diff
ferent items are listed 1t will be easy
TO calculate the loss or gain for the
year.
In making an inventory two things
are very important. First be con
servative In estimates-place values
az nearly correct as your good judg
ment will enable you. Second, do not
overlook any part of your property.
The value of the farm will not
change very much from year to year
and 1t will make your showing more
satisfactory II you do not increase the
value OF land except for actu J money
spent for improvements.
All classes Of live stock have pref
ty definite value. depending on mar
ket prices.
It is q little difficult to determine
the value Of farm machinery. II yot
know the first cost Of the tool and
about how long 1t will last You, by fig
nring from the number Of years you
have used It, you can determine about
what It is worth. These things are

Just outside the entrance to the
yard at the Naval academy is an
apartment house where many young
officers live. and baby carriages are
a not infrequent sight in this vicinity.
Not long ago the commander of the
yard had a notice posted on one side
OF the gate forbidding automobiles to
enter, because they frightened the
horses Shortly afterwards the fol-
lowing unofficial notice appeared on
the other side OF the gate:
Baby carriages and perambulators

Cheap Horses Do Not Pay

BY E. A. Towbdd Professor Hsbandry University


1t does not pay to produce cheap

The production Of horses, as well as
other classes Of live stock, is being
rapidly reduced to strictly business
basis. AS farmers take time to obtain
accuracy in determining those opera
tons which net them profit and those
from which they suffer loss, they
find that 1t costs considerable money

The market demands n mule with

For the production of horses and
mules TO be put on the market to yield

factors First, the use of only the
very best sires obtainable. The truth
OF this Is easily seen when one real

more or less estimates and call for the
best judgment. You will have TO con.
slider the condition OF your tools at
the time OF taking the inventory in all
cases. You can usually tell about
what It would cost you to replace such
a tool. All tools should be listed sep
arately, down to those worth 81 or
less. The value OF these can be given
In one sum.
Feed and seed are easy TO measure
and place values on, as there is def
mite market price for each. All sup
plies on hand, such as wire. paint,
lumber, etc., can easily be measured
up. The money that other people owe
you and that you owe others should
not be overlooked. Neither should you
neglect TO list the amount Of cash on
hand.
After your inventory Is made, II you
will list II, subtracting your bills pay
able from the amount labeled total
assets" you will have the present
worth for the year. The difference
between the present worth at the be-
ginning and close of the year is your
