Warm days and driving wind of

SHOULD BE
PAID TO RAISING OF
GOOD CALVES.

All farmers who expect to max g
a success of the dairy business
should improve their herds by
breeding and selection, and this is
best accomplished by raising the
calves We have in Louisiana a
great many dairy farmers who are
neglecting this simply because
they are able to sell every drop of
the milk at twenty cents a gallon.
This is a mistake in most cases
Unless attention is given to the
raising of good calves the produc
ton of the herd will never be in
creased; aud unless the produc-
ton is raised the profits will DIM
lDish.
The Kansas Experiment Sta
ton found that calves reared on
skim milk and grain not only
made a higher net gain, but, also,
at a much cheaper figure than
when fed on whole milk.
There are many localities in
Louisiana that could probably
separate milk and make butter on
the farm. 1t is possible 10 pro
produce q very good quality of
butter at comparatively low cost,
aud the buttermllk aud skim milk
can be used 10 advantage. M.

FARM ACCOUNTS.

Every farmer should keep books
SO that he may have accurate In
formation about the business and
may know the cost Of labor, ma.
chinery and raw material. It Ia
important to know the cost Of pro.
ducing each pound Of cotton or
hay and each bnsbel Of corn or
oats. DO not figure it on the ia.
sis that it will cost SO much TO
prepare the land, so much for
planting and so much for cnltivat.
ing. That is like figuring IN the
air. What you want to know liz
not what is costs anybody but
what did it cost you on your farm
as you raised it. Keep the record
once and learn something new.
Learning something new ia like
tonic: 1t revives youth, gives one
a new grip Oh life and stimulates
one TO do things IN a better way.
A farmer should be better corn
raiser next year than he is this
year; keeping an accurate account
of the cost of producing his crop
will help him to improve. There
is a fascination in doing anything
we'll and to the best of ones abili-
~, and there is an inspiration in
accurate information about the
things iD which we are interested.
A farmer who kept An account Of
an Irish potato crop was So pleas
ed with what he learned that he
decided TO keep accounts of all
bis crops the next year. He soon
had bank account and farming
daily grew more interesting to
him.
Bookkeeping is a method of &C
curate and Painstaklng thinking
about ones business. That's rea
son enough why a farmer should
