KEEP ACCOUNT OF BUSINESS
EsssntIai to Success and Highest e.
heisncy Of Farm-Enumsrate
Profits and Losses.
(By A. H. BENTON,


Accounts on . farm are essential to
success and the highest efficiency.
They must be simple and yet accurate
enough to let the farmer know how
much he II making or losing, and
where the gains or losses occur. These
two things may be satisfactorily deter
mined by keeping the following rec.
ords:
An Inventory at the beginning and
end Of the year.
A record Of all farm expenses and
receipts.
A record Of all the man and horse
labor used on the farm.
The inventory should be q list of
the farm property with the actual
values Of each item. II should include
land. buildings. machinery and equip
ment. live stock, feeds and supplies,
and cash belonging to the Arm bust
ness.
The farm expenses and receipts
should be distributed among the indi.
vidual enterprises with which &C.
counts are kept a. cows, swine.
horses. wheat. oats. corn. etc. RE
ceipts and expenses which do not fall
under any Of the individual enter.
prises may be placed under personal
and miscellaneous accounts. The
crops used for feed are both an az.
pense and q receipt.
At the end Of the year each enter.
prise 10 charged with the labor used.
To determine the rates at which man
or horse labor should be charged. di.
vide the total cost by the total number
Of hours.
The difference between the receipts
and the expenses (omitting household
or personal expenses). plus or minus
the difference between the inventories
at the beginning and the end of the
year will be q total gain or loss.

MEAT CLUBS ARE A SUCCESS
Farmers In the klmbro Community In
Travis County Have Practical
Plan for Getting Meat.

Farmers may have fresh meat dur
ing a greater part Of the year. even
in the hot summer months. through a
little community cooperation. In the
Kimbro community in Travis county
the farmers have demonstrated that
this can be done. Within few miles
Of Kimbro there are three meat
clubs" Two of these are beef clubs
and one Of them is a sheep club. In
the beef club they slaughter a calf ev-
cry week to supply their members with
fresh meat. while in the sheep
club a sheep is killed. About
twelve people make up one Of these
clubs. with the exception of the sheep
club which includes merely three or
four families. They meet early in the
year to determine the order in which
the calf shall be furnished to the club.
and this is usually decided by the
age Of the animals that the members
may happen to have. The person
who has the most mature calf will
start the procession.
One of the members is chosen to
be the butcher, and receives 81 for
each killing. In some years 1t has been
the custom to give him the hide for his
trouble. but now the hide is kept by
the farmer who furnishes the animal
and the butcher is paid in cash. On
the Friday of the week when Mr.. AS
turn has come, the butcher will 60 to
his farm. slaughter the animal, divide
1t into IL parts Of there are IL men,
bers in the club, weigh each part and
put a tag on it with the name Of the
person whose turn it Is to receive this
particular part. All cuts are not of
equal value. SO 1t is arranged that II
Mr.. A received the neck part this
week. the next week 1t goes to Mr.. B.
and 80 on SO that when the year is up
all have received the same kind of
meat In their turn. The butcher keeps
the record. II family is small it may
receive one-twenty-fourth instead of
of the animal. OF course
not all animals. nor all parts. will be
of the same weight, but the butchers
record will show who has received
more meat than he furnished. or vice
versa. To settle this. II Mr.. A has
more meat than he received
during the year, he Is paid i've cents
. pound for the excess at the end Of
the year. or II he furnished less he
pays the difference at the same rate.
After the animal Is killed and divided
the farmer who owned 1t delivers the
meat to the other members of the
club. However, should the roads be
bad the members will relieve him of |
this labor by coming in person to get |
their share.
They used to have the custom of |
bringing the calves to be butchered to
q certain place for the butchers con-
but this has been aban.
doned because 1t was a lot of trouble |
for the owner Of the animal to drive |
to this place with the animal and them |
90 from there to deliver the meat to
the other members. The butcher is
also more satisfied with the hides. be-
cause these accumulate on his hands |
and give him extra work. The clubs
have given great satisfaction.
However. Kimbro Is not the only
that has meat clubs. There
are several in Stonewall and Coryell |
counties. and Austin county has them |
scattered throughout the whole coun-
ty. !

Alarmed at the threatening attitude
Of a score or more of Italian workmen
who became angry at a refusal of their
demands for additional wages, John J.
Harris, superintendent of the Rock
land Mills of the Jessup and Moore
Paper Company. appealed to Chief OF

trouble was outside the city limits, Mr.
Harris was referred to Attorney-Gen-
eral Wolcott.
At noon today Mr. Harris said that
arrangements had been maze with MI.
Wolcott's Office to have men sent to
the mills as deputy sheriffs, in case
their services are needed.
According to Mr.. Harris, he was
met in the yards of the mills this
morning by thirty-fve Italians, en-
ployed as heaters. firemen. laborers
and paper leaders, who demanded an
Increase in pay. The increase. was re-
fused, Mr.. Harris telling them they
we're receiving more money at present
than is generally paid by paper manu-
featuring companies for the same kind
of work. The men laid down their
tools and attempted force others at
the mills to cease work.
Mr.. Harris said that twelve men
who they had endeavored to force out
on strike remained and these with the
other Americans at the plant. are at
work. The strike, it was said, will
not interfere with the operations of
the plant as the places Of the strikers
have been filled.
