In the past few years, the cost Of
machinery, labor and all other factors
entering into the operation Of farm
has increased all out of proportion to
the increase in value OF farm products,
and recently OF necessity the farmer
Is beginning to study the organization
of his business. The eastern farmer
has felt this pressure first. The farm
ers Of Montana will be among the last
Of wisdom to anticipate that which is
surely coming.
There are two general methods Of
obtaining the farm business facts:
A. Farm business record.
B. Cost accounts.
The farm business record studies
the organization of the farm as a
whole, while cost accounts furnish
data for a detailed study OF each in
dividual crop or animal enterprise. II
one wishes to find the cost Of wheat
production, for example, he merely
keeps an account with that crop,
charging to the account everything
that the crop used and crediting all
that the crop produces. A sample
wheat account is given below.

or better methods.
To decrease the cost Of producing an
acre Of wheat is not simple. The
acreage may be too small. A larger
field might be handled with less labor
per acre. There may have been some
unnecessary operations that may be
eliminated. The above are simply sug-
gestions of how the account may be
studied.
A complete set of cost accounts Is a
collection Of simple accounts for each
enterprise on the farm. A complete
set Of cost accounts would include
accounts with real estate, man labor.
horses, equipment. and all crop and
animal enterprises, and as many other
accounts as one might desire. Anyone
wishing to study this system further

It is now ready to cat and no bee

it should be stored in an tight place

It is difficult to estimate the value
Of poultry to the farm. One may say
The poultry is a good investment" or
that chickens pay WE'LL but proof of
these assertions with definite figures
is not easy. for the reason that few
farmers keep any records of their
poultry receipts. II cash returns and
the amount of poultry products used
In the home were watched one might
show definitely the value OF poul-
try.
The last census shows that the total
value of poultry products in this coun
try exceeded the billion dollar mark.
These figures do not include poultry
raised within the city limits. over so
per cent OF this billion dollars worth
of products came from the average
farms, where poultry is considered a
side line. Specialized egg farms sup
American market.
The average farm flock includes from
IS to 100 hens. What few records
have been kept show that these hens
cost approximately 81 a head a year
in feed and care. At this cost each
hen returns an average profit of $3.50.
Under ordinary farm conditions the
cost is about half this because of the
fact that hens utilize Il large amount
of waste feed.
According to all available data the
average farm could easily support 200
or 800 hens almost entirely on unmar-
ketahle grain; that is to say, about $50
more than are being kept at the pres
ent time. Considering the profit on
each hen as s1.50. this would increase
the farm profits SECS year.
Besides furnishing a market fon farm
by-products, the poultry flock fur
nishes labor for the farmer during the
winter. when he would otherwise be

How to Avoid Stomach Troubles.

Digestion begins In the month. Food
should be thoroughly masticated. Your
food should be suited to your age and
occupation. People of sedentary habits
should eat little meat, but should drink
an abundance of water especially when
they first get up in the morning and
between meals. When you feel dull and
stupid after eating, that shows that
you have eaten too much. The bowels
should be kept regular. When needed
take a dose of Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will improve your digestion and

Do you know how much of your in
come is spent for food. for clothing,
for books and magazines and for
amusement and recreation?
Do you know whether your grocer
and your merchant are sending accu-
rate bills or not? Do you save your
daily bills SO you can compare them
with the bills at the end of the month !?
These are only a few of the points
to be considered in applying business
methods for the home. From these
questions 1t can be seen that it is
just as necessary COR the woman in
the home to apply business methods in
her department as for the man on the
farm to keep farm accounts or for the
merchant to keep books. if she wishes
the partnership of which she is a men,
Der to be a success financially.
Record Only Way.
Only by keeping record of the
amounts spent for food, rent or taxes.
clothing. ETC., is it possible intelligent
~ to analyze the situation at the end
of the year and determine wherein one
can best cut expenses or know If too
much is leaking in the incidentals or
miscellaneous column.
Can Plan Aheac.
After having kept such records for
q year or two the housewife can plan
ahead to buy the larger items at diff
ferent times, instead of having all the
larger bills come at the same time.
One family which uses this method
purchases such staples as flour and
sugar in large quantities in the sum
mer time when the bills for heating
and lighting are less. This family also
lays aside certain amount during
these months to apply on the clothing
to be purchased in the fail.
From such accounts another family
for the last four years finds the amount
spent for food to have increased a
little more than 25 per cent since last
August
The Vital Questions.
Knowing this to be the case. the
questions then are Especially where
the salary has not increased propor-
tionately with the rise in living costs):
Where can / reduce our other ex-
penses with the least detriment to my
family? Can l best meet the situa-
ton by q better understanding of food
values and food selection, or must the
saving come from some other depart
ment?
Then, too, many housewives are in
the habit of having goods charged and
delivered, to be paid at the end of the
month, then through carelessness or
thoughtlessness allow the bills to be
lost or destroyed so that they have no
way of checking up the monthly bills.
This should especially be avoided, as
1t is most unbusinesslike, and often the
source Of considerable loss. This loss
may be the result Of carelessness in the
grocer's bookkeeping or, in some cases,
of actual dishonesty.
These are but few of the leaks
which system of accounting and bust
ness methods will aid in developing.
