DOUBLE ENTRY
 BOOKKEEPING
By PROF. s. A. ELLIS President Spencer Business College

Double entry bookkeeping was dis covered or invented by Japanese scholar in Japan in the twelfth century. and similar system was devised by a man in Venice in the fifteenth century.
 It is called one of the most wonderful discoveries of the human mind It is also one of the best means for the edu- cation of the pupil. 1t cultivates care painstaking. accuracy and earnest refiec- ton. At the end facts must agree to 8 penny. Self-consciousness is heighten- ed, and a joy of creation comes over the pupil not known before, His pur- pose to do something correctly is strengthened and his sense of economy accuracy, and order is deveioped. Out of such simple elements is formed the char acter of man. and bookkeeping has con- tributed an element to character build ing that the young men and women of our times especially need
 Bookkeeping has long been considered q mystery, and an accountant was looked upon es a superior somebody, a remark able parsonage. I have been told that many bookkeepers and accountaints are not overanxious for their number to be
 increased as prices for their labor would go down. That charge may be untrue and unjust. No doubt there have been such design by a few.
 Double entry bookkeeping Is very sim pie and easily learned, if properly pre- sented, It is easier than arithmetic. But the clumsy manner in which the subject is often handled makes it really very hard proposition, requiring several months to master it. If properly pre- sented it can be thoroughly mastered in very few days. I have known many to compass the whole theory of double entry bookkeeping in eight or 10 days, a few in shorter time I knew l6- year-old girl. after brief course. to cor rectly audit set of books in this city, which was all out of balance. She was sent right out of business college to do the work, and did it correctly.
 Every one should be boo.<keeper for his own protection and defense. No one can run business successfully, not even farmer. without applying the principles of double entry bookkeeping. More faii- ures in business has been caused from a lack of this subject than from any oth- CT source. X lack of this knowledge has lied to wrecked fortunes. more law suits than can be traced to any other cause.
 If bookkeeping is necessary for the success of railroads banks and large cor porations, it Is equally useful to the farmers and men in all lines of eTorts'

With the Horse

The time to keep up horse produc- tion is when the average man wants to quit. It pays in the long run.
 Tell the boys never to fasten the loose end of a halter about their bodies when the other end is fast to the colt Terrible things have happened that way
 Use good horse sense and a brush that is not too stiff when cleaning off the colt.
 One of the first things to consider when buying a horse is his feet. Poor feet will make a horse that is other wise good, a failure.
 Have you ever visited a farmer who raised fine horses, and found that all the work on the farm was being done by undersized, bony, spawned horses. while the good animals were being sold? The farmer has right to the best whether for his own work or for sale.
 Old Dobbin may not have so many parts as an auto, but he is largely automatic, and makes a good sparkling plug.
 The supply zof heavy horses is liin- tied. The demand for efficient work CTS is such that they are holding their own in cities and increasing in popu- I1arity on farms, and will continue to do so for many years.

The average price per hog was $SS.44 None of the hogs is more than months old The hogs which brought this record price were raised by the Northern Colorado Devel- oprnent company at Red Lion. Col.

If is extremely Nunwise for cotton farmers to assume that the freezes of the last few weeks have exterminated the cotton boil weevil, says the depart ment of agriculture, in answer to many inquiries from the south.
 During the past winter the tempera- lures have been lower than at any time since 1899, and there can hardly be any doubt that this extreme cold has reduced the numbers of weevils in many sections of the south. The im- pression has been gained by many planters that the weevil has been re- duced to negligible numbers, if not altogether eXterminated It is too much to expect that the temperatures have been uniformly cold enough to abso- lutuely exterminate the weevil from large areas. The records of the depart ment of agriculture indicate that there is at least from 1 to per cent sur vival of the weevil in those sections which have been thoroughly studied as against a normal of 7.6 per cent sur
 vival. This percentage of surviving
 weevils is suffieent to restock the cot
 ton fields of the south before the end of the growing season.
 There is always a possibility that
 there may be some specially sheltered
 spots even in the more northerly in~ fested regions where some weevils will be able to survive. The instinct of the weeyil leads it to seek the warinest shelter available in the vicinity of it's breeding ground. It will shelter itself under the bark of trees. or in thick hanging moss upon the trees, under the thatch of roofs. and in straw stacks, in seed storehouses and gins. and in other buildings. It Is, therefore, quite easy to see that no matter how cold the external temperatures are, there is always probability that there will be weevils surviving in each field shell tered securley enough to carry them through the winter.
 MUST GET THEM ALL The experience of 25 years with the boil weevil in this country has shown that one or two weevils surviving in field can easily produce enough off, spring to destroy all but the earliest portions of the crop.
 No reliable prediction can be made
 on the basis of what happened during the winter. Frequently seasons in which very few weevils pass the win
 ter have been followed by great injury

By ROBERT ARMSTRONG
 Expert POultryman
 There is no phrase of poultry raising which reflects the stamina and qualities of flock of fowls so accurately as in- cubation. If the birds are iri good health and vigorous, and the feeding and housing conditions are as they should be, their eggs will hatch well. If the birds are out of condition as the result of careless breeding, injudl- cious feeding, defective housing and the like, their eggs will not produce satis- factoriiy. Successful incubation, wheth- CT artificial or natural, depends largely on the selection and care of the eggs as we shall see from the following ar ticle.
 It;is a mistake to assume that incuba side of an incubator or under. hen. If poor matches are experienced, it IS wrong to condemn the incubator or hen. without first Investigating the circum- stances preliminary to the actual ha.ch- ing process. It is possible that the eggs are at fault. And it is probable that the operator is to blame for the evils in the eggs.
 Strictly speaking. the first step in in- cubation begins in the breeding pens; the second step is in the selection of eggs which have qualifications of hatch ing eggs; and the third step lies in the care of. the eggs prior to hatching All of these factors have a greater influ- encc than is generally supposed
