Farm Accounts

At the close of each year, writes j.
N. Glover in the Pennsylvania Farm
er, farmers should take an account of
stock, feed and implements, as all
business men do to find out the profit
or loss for the year.
Many farmers keep few accounts of
receipts and expenses, so do not know
exactly whether they are getting
ahead or not.
This being slack time of the year
is more suitable than the end of
March when the renting year usually
begins, SO We do it now. By having
q book similar to a ledger or daybook,
one can keep his accounts for each
month, on one side of the page keep
the receipts and on the opposite side
the expenditures, then other pages
may be used for recording any other
items relating to stock or farm work
which one wishes to record.
Begin by taking an account of stock
by putting down the name of each
horse and COW and what it cost or
would bring at cash sale and so with
the pigs, sheep and the flock Of hens,
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-03-04
and grain on hand.

implements and grain on hand.
That inventory with cash on hand or
in bank should be placed on one page
and the opposite one left for a similar
inventory at the close of the year
Each day, week or month one should
in small cheap book make note of
cash paid for labor, living, repairs or
stock as well as for stock, eggs, fruit
or anything sold, keeping amounts
received for milk, hogs or eggs sold
in a line or column by themselves
with the date, if possible, and also of
tools bought, repairs paid or living
expenses, so that at the end of each
month or at alest of the year one can
easily add the amounts received for
each kind of grain or stock sold and,
on the other side have the amounts
paid for labor, living, taxes, stock or
seed and the cash on hand or grain
and stock, so in an evening one can
find by comparing the amounts re-
ceived and the amounts paid out and
the account of stock and grain on
hand, allowing something for depre-
citation or wear on tools, how one
stands financially at the end of the
year and what he received for stock,
hay or grain sold and what the ex-
penses of living, labor, threshing, feed
or seed have been to see what he has
made or where he has lost, if such has
been l. case.
1t is a great satisfaction at the end
of the year to know what one has
made or where the money has gone,
so as to try to improve or follow the
line of farming which seems to pay
best, and cut out the losing ones, if
possible.
The satisfaction of knowing ones
financial standing will pay we'll for
the labor and time it takes. If the
father does not care to do this a son
or daughter may take pleasure and
pride in keeping such accounts and be
educating himself or herself by doing
it along business lines.
