FARM ACCOUNTS ARE

There Is 10 doubt that the keeping
of farm accounts will prove Of great
value in determining which branches Of
farming are the most profitable. If
the9 are kept accurately for a long
period they may be Of great assistance
in rearranging the farm on a more
profitable basis. In making use of the
results Of years cost accounts for
purpose of perfectlng the organiza-
ton Of the farm for the greatest profit
any changes should be made with eau
ton.
Hasty conclusions should not be
drawn. Sometimes a positive decrease
in a years profits may ensue If an en-
terprise be dropped because taken
alone, 1t has failed to pay. Cows, for
instance, may not be showing a net
profit, but If all the cows are sold
there may be no other profitable way
of using up roughage which would
thereby be wasted, resulting In a loss
on the crop producing it. Labor de-
voted night and morning to milking
and feeding cows, and charged to
them, would be entirely wasted If the
cows We're sold and nothing else sup
piled to utilize it. Thus an added la
Dor burden would have to be borne.by
the other enterprises. 1t is much bet
ter that these things be utilized than
that they should be dead loss, even
though the COW account alone just
breaks even, or worse. Any changes
indicated, if made, should be brought
about gradually and the effects noted
in their relation to all other farm &C.
tivities.
There is nothing like a set of rec
Ords as means of Analysing a farm
business. To use such records, how
ever, the fundamental principles must
be understood and complied with;
their limitations as well as their use
fulness must be grasped. When this
is done the accounts will become a
strong staff and support.

INFORMATION that will enable seeds
men and farmers to clear UP confused
ideas regarding the identification and
uces of the bent grasses commonly
grown In the United States is given in
Bulletin 692, 'The Agricultural Species
Of Bent Grasses" recently published
by the United States department of az
rieulture.
The bulletin is divided into two
parts. The first part contains a dis
eussion Of red top, form, Rhode Island
bent, colonial bent, velvet or brown
bent, and carpet bent. Rhode Island
bent, according to the bulletin. Is q
common grass In New England and is
valuable for lawns and golf courses
For making a fine turf 1t is excelled
only by velvet and carpet bent, which
occur in the trade only in mixed seed
from Europe. Velvet bent makes the
densest, finest turf, carpet bent the
next best, Rhode Island bent slightly
coarser, turf, while that produced by
red top and form is much coarser.
Part two of the bulletin gives a dis
cussion of the distinguishing eharae-
teristics Of the seed of these grasses
which occurs in commercial trade. The
kinds of seed are illustrated, together
with the principal impurities found
with them. Misbranding Ia the trade
occurs chiefly in the substitution OF
red-top seed for seed Of the other
grasses, but study Of seed character
.stics, as given in the bulletin, win en-
able seedsmen and farmers to distin-
gulsh red-top seed from that of the
finer grasses, more desirable for grow
ing turf.

Plenty Of Room for Sheep.

There is plenty of room for the ext
pansion Of the sheep industry in the
Central and Eastern states, and spe,
cialists of the United States depart,
ment of agriculture say that these
states can do much to help the west
ern range sheep raisers in producing
wool and mutton. A survey of the en-
tire country reveals that there is im-
mediate opportunity for increasing tho
sheep population to some extent in the
rough and idle lands Of the Appala'
chan region, the cut-over timber landl
Of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan
and the South Atlantic and Gull
states. There Is also much to be done
in improving the carrying capacity on
many of the farms where sheep are
now being raised. The unimproyed
land in farms, amounting to nearly
half of their total area, offers consid.
cradle possibilities for increasing tho
number of sheep. Much Of this land
is now used in limited way for live
stock pastures, while other areas arc
wholly idle. They could be made Ia
furnish fair summer grazing for sheep,
and with slight Encouragement in the
cropping system, and the keeping Of
other live stock, could be made to fur
nish winter feed for sheep.

DO NOT MARKET AlLING HOGS

The danger Of shipping sick hogs to
market is, of course, obvious. Farm
ers and others who knowingly en-.
danger their neighbors' property
through the marketing of diseased
stock instead of properly disposing of
such animals on the farm and disin-
fecting the premises are guilty of
wrong-doing and should be restrained
or punished by the proper authorities.
Such men retard the work that is be-
Ing done by state and federal agencies
to eradicate cholera and to make the
swine industry a profitable invest
ment.
Conservation is necessarily the basis
Of increased production. and until
farmers are fully advised not TO
patronize infected localities, to shun
stock yards having no federal or state
supervision when purchasing stockers
or feeders, and TO immunize against
Infectious and contagious diseases Of
live stock, particularly hog cholera,
efforts at stimulating increased pro

lowherb are fine stores for winter,
while honeys from Eastwood, hearts
Ease (smartweed), asters, goldenrod,
and most of the other fall flowers are
less desirable. 1t is especially impor-
tant during the period when the bees
are in the cellar that the stores shall
be of the very finest quality, and it is
therefore the practice of many good
beekeepers to feed each colony five
pounds or more of sirup made Of gran
ulated sugar late In the fall, after all
brood-rearing has ceased. This in
sures that the bees will have for their
use, during the period of confinement
In the cellar, stores which will not
bring about the condition known as
dysentery. In general it may be stated
that honeys from mixed sources and
dark honeys, except buckwheat, are to
be avoided. HOneydew honeys are
highly injurious and in all cases where
such stores are present graduated
sugar strip should be fed.
Quantity of Stores.
From the end Of one honey season
to the beginning of the next good
colony Of bees win need fully 40
pounds of honey. When the bees are
wintered in the cellar, it Is usual not
to have all of this honey in the one
hive body in which they are wintered.
1t is a coed practice to have at least
20 pounds within this hive, although
Is pounds will be SAFE 1t is absolute
~ imperative, however, that the re-
mainder of the As pounds shall be
available to be given to the bees soon
after they are taken from the cellar.
The most common cause Of poor col
onies in the spring Is poverty, directly
due to neglect on the part of the bee
keeper. A good beekeeper sees to IL
that at no time when brood is being
reared do his bees have less than Is
pounds of stores In the hive, and the
full amount Of As pounds often will
all be used, and is always needed If
the colonies are to come to full
strength on time for the gathering of
the full crop. This amount is al
ways augmented by honey frem spring
flowers, for As pounds of honey is not
enough. to bring a colony TO fun
strength in time for the main honey
flow.

If disappointment and failure are to
be avoided.
Sheep require small amount Of
high-priced grain compared with other
farm animals. They utilize and thrive
upon forage crops to great extent
and will make use of rough feeds
.5Out the farm which other stock will
not eat They require small amount
of labor also, which is one reason for
the increase in the industry In tho
farming states.
The rising prices of wool and NUT
ton since 1914 no doubt have added
further impetus to sheep raising. Since
the advance in price began before the
war, it Is fair to assume that tire war
Is not to be given all the credit for
this spirited activity and that the In
dustry is likely to enjoy continued
fair prices for a considerable time aft
er the conclusion of peace.

the ice field, thus opening a channel
to the landing. Saw off large cakes
and float them to the landing, where
they may be cut into smaller cakes.
Not Many Tools Required.
For the average farm the only tools
required are two saws, two pairs of
tongs, two icehooks, one pointed bar,
one straight board for marking.
Where the cream only is to be cool
ed, allow at least one-half ton Of ice
per COW in estimating the size of an ice
house you need. For cooling milk, al
low IL tons per COW. These quaint
ties should be enough to leave a mar
gin for household use; but ii is better
to have too much than too little. When
ever practicable, build the icehouse In
the form of q cube. Allow 40 cubic
feet of space for each ton of ice.
Location and Drainage.
Locate the icehouse in a shady place
near the dairy house, and where there
Is good natural drainage. If water
from the melting ice is not removed,
melting will proceed at a more rapid
rate. If the house Is built on sloping,
porous ground, natural drainage
should be sufficient; but If on a clay
soil, artificial drainage should be pro
vided
Use plenty Of insulation. If sawdust
or mill shavings are used, see that they
are dry. Commercial insulation is
more efficient and durable than either
but Is more expensive. Wooden houses
insulated with sawduSt or mill shaw
ings should be ventilated. Houses
with commercial insulation and a
cement finish need no ventilation.
The dairy division, United States de-
partment of agriculture, Washington,
has further information about ice
houses and the use of ice on the dairy
farm. Don't wait till the last minute,
or you may be too late.
