FARM ACCOUNTING.

BY the department of agriculture
the value of the chief necessaries Of
life consumed by an average farm
family each year at a little under
5000; but over $400 worth of these
necessaries is contributed by the farm
itself, leaving only $174 worth to be
purchased by the farmer. That sug-
gests one difficulty with the average
farm bookkeeping: 1t consists of only
a cash account. A good many farmers
can tell, with approximate accuracy,
how much money they received and
paid out during year. The number
that have even an approximate no.
tion of the value of articles consumed
on the farm is much smaller Il got
so much for my hogs farmer may
tell you; but if you ask what he might
have got for the feed they consumed
he answers: "Oh, / raised that my
SELF" And there are still many more
farmers who have no clear notion Of
how much cash they received and
disbursed. They know only how much
they have left at the end of the year,
says Saturday Evening Post. In farm
ing, as much as in banking and rail-
roading, good bookkeeping is the
foundation of real economy and eff
cheney. Stuffing $S worth of corn
into pigskin and selling it for $3.50
is certainly not profitable. A great
amount of money is lost yearly in
milch COWS, simply because the own
ers do not know what each quart of
cream they sell has actually cost them.
A proper but very simple set of books
would show at once which COWS yield
ed profit and which were merely per-
ambulating concribs. A dollar in
vested in blank book and pen would
be the best investment many farmers
could make.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1915-05-27

A bond from which we are never
free unites us to mother earth. The
appeal of the refinements of civiliza-
tion is strong; they are needed and
they have become an integral part Of
our life, but somewhere in our ma
lures is something that always harks
back to nature. This feeling of close
kinship with wild things, the stream,
the birds and animals, the woods,
gives strength to the soul. Were we
to live always on the artificial heights,
we should become enervated. For
the earth is our home; from the act
ual physical earth we gain strength
of body and mind. From considering
it, we learn lessons of truth and purity
and order, and the foundations Of
beauty are all found in the material
world. Our love of nature, our long
ing sometimes to get out into the
wilds comes, though we may never
realize it, from our need of these
things. With all our refinements, we
shall Eever do so well without the
knowledge of the kindly earth as with
it. Even in winter there is much to
learn, much to enjoy, and we lose
much when we think we can do with
out our close communion with the
mother of us all.
