FARM ACCOUNTS ARE
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Determine Which Branch Of
Farming Is Most Profitable.
OF Great Assistance In Rearranglng
Farm on More Profitable BasIs-
Records Will Prove to Be OF
Great Benefit

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
There is no doubt that the keeping
of farm accounts will prove of great
value In determining which branches Of
farming are the most profitable. If
they are kept accurately for long
period they may be of great assistance
in rearranging the farm on more
profitable basis. In making use of the
results of a years cost accounts for
purpose of perfecting 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 years profits may ensue If an en-
terprise be dropped because, taken
alone, it has failed to pay. Cows, for
instance, may not be showing 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 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 IL the
cows were 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, IL made, should be brought
about gradually and the effects noted
in their relation to all other farm nc
tlvities.
There is nothing like q set of rec
ords as a means of analysing 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. q

lowherb are fine stores for winter.
while honeys from Eastwood. hearts
mse (smartweed). asters, gOldenrod,
and most Of the other fall flowers are
ess desirable. 1t Is especially impor-
liant during the period when the bees
are in the cellar that the stores shall
be of the very finest quality, and 1t is
therefore the practice Of many good
beekeepers to feed each colony five
pounds or more of strip made of gram
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

bring about the condition known as
dysentery. In general 1t 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 will need fully As
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.
It is n good practice to have at least
20 pounds within this hive, although
Is pounds will be safe. 1t is absolute
ly imperative, however, that the re-
mainder of the 45 pounds shall be
available to be given to the bees soon
inter 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 1t
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 45 pounds often will
all be used, and is always needed IL
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 from spring
flowers, for As pounds of honey is not
enough to bring colony to full
strength In time for the main honey

Cooperative Stores.

While cooperative stores In tho
United States are relatively unsuc-
cessful as compared with typical CO.
operative stores in European coun-
tries, the lack Of success Is not due
to the failure of the underlying prin-
ciples of such enterprises to hold good
In America, but to the business meth
DDS generally followed In such under
takings In this country. This conclu-
sion has been reached as result Of
survey of 60 cooperative stores made
by the Office of markets and rural or
ganizatlon of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. In many Ameri.
can cooperative stores which have
failed, mismanagement, inadequate nc
counting and auditing. lack Of cooper
alton, poor business methods, and lack
OF Judgment are responsible.

that the cooperative store has tended

POULTRY SUGGESTIONS

Every commercial breeder,
every farmer, every backyard
poultry raiser, Is urged to keep
these aims steadily In view:
1. Keep better poultry. Stand
ard-bred poultry improves the
quality and increases produc-
ton.
2. Select healthy, vigorous
breeders to produce strong
chicks.
3. Hatch early to produce fall
and winter layers.
4. Preserve eggs when cheap
for home use.
8. Produce infertile eggs, ex-
cept for Matching.
6. Gull the flocks to eliminate
Improbable producers.
z. Keep small backyard
flock to supply the family table.
8. Grow as much poultry feed
as possible.
8. Eat more poultry and eggs
to conserve the meat supply.

A Patriotic Hen.

The following extract from the re.
Fort of county home demonstration
agent in Mississippi shows the kind Of
prize-winning poultry the Southern
club girls are adding to their flocks:
There are all kinds of hens like
there are all kinds Of people. Some
do their part well and others fail
totally, but at Pinevllle, just north Of
Pass Christian, there Is one hen that
has made such record for herself
and her family that she is entitled to
be classed as a patriotic hen, and we
give her history so that 1t may serve
as an inspiration to other members OF
the feathered family that have laid
down on their job.
"This hen is owned by Miss VIII
hemenia Hawkins, a club member, and
Is one of her state prize winners OF
the Barred Rock variety. Her name
Is Jane M. and she was one year old
on April IL, 1918. She had laid 124
eggs to that date. When she was six
months and five days old she had laid
IA eggs, IL of which were set, and all
Matched, bringing out ten pullets and
one cockerel. One Of these pullets
laid her first egg when she was four
months and five days old. She has
laid every day since. 1t Is race now
between the mother and daughter for
breaking the record In egg production.
for while the old hen mas done. won
derfully well, her daughter has near
ly two months start, on her at the be-
ginning of laying age, and At the rate
the latter is going she Is evidently en-
deavoring to push her patriotic moth
er down In the honor roll"

Sullivan's stomach failed him in the

CHAPTER XXI


KiIrain, undaunted, came back for
the third round with plenty of fight.
1t was plain now that he had decided
to attempt to beat the champion at his
own game-that of rushing and slug
ging. He swung in through a hurri-
cane of driving Sullivan fists and
grasped Sullivan about the neck. Sui
livan twisted loose, driving home a
short, chopping right to the neck as he
did so. Kilrain lunged out with his
left and struck Sullivan blow which
to many appeared to be low, but the
referee refused it and the milling con-
tinued until Kilrain finally dropped to
the turf from heavy blow to the
neck.
Kilrain was more cautious in the
| fourth round. However, he could not
resist the temptation to try issue with
| Sullivan in a wrestling match, and
he again ducked under the champions
guard. Sullivan, however, caught him
coming in this time, and grasped him
about the neck, turned quickly, and
threw Kilrains body across his hip
Thus, with g perfect cross-buttock
hold, it appeared Kilrain was due to
sail through the air for a fall, but he
twisted loose just as Sullivan brought
his strength into play and heaved foI

to fight. The round ended when Kill

Sullivan.
In the eleventh Kilrains neck
caught another of the smashing right
handlers and down he went. He was
in some distress as his seconds went
into the ring, picked him up and car
ried him to his corner. The twelfth
ended, after some pretty fighting,
when Kilrain finally obtained his OBJ
ject-a clinch-and the men spraWled,
Sullivan on top.
Through the following rounds, up
to the twenty-third, Kilrain pursued
wrestling tactics, pausing in them only
occasionally to attempt a left-handed
smash at the Sullivan body. He evil
IDENTIFY was figuring on wearing down
the champion with body-blows, bank
ing on what he had heard regarding
Sullivan's mode of living. He was con-
tinually jeered by the crowd and
tainted by Sullivan. He was, how
ever, losing his bravsdo fast. He was
showing signs of wear. His face was
badly battered and his body was Grim
son in spots where it had been ham,
mered. Sullivan was only slightly
marked, despite two cuts which had
been opened by his antagonist He
was breathing with some difficulty,
but his wind was holding out remark
ably.
Kilrain was fighting shrewdly and
bravely. There was but one chance
for him-to keep away until the cham,

The challenger sought grass at every

In the twenty-sixth round both were

Precipitation dripped from the men and

the gore from the slit in his ear. His
bristling black hair, wet and glisten-
ing, stood on end. His lips were curled
back in cruel grin, and with his head
between his shoulders he presented
terrifying spectacle. This was the
caveman Sullivan, the demon who
had crushed and hammered his way
to victories in the past. Kilrain at
tempted to stave off the inevitable, by
throwing up his guard and backing
away. Sullivan smashed through Kill
rains guard with his left, and barely
missed driving home that dubbed
right hand that was so dangerous.
Kilrain made brave effort to stand
and fight, but it was just to Sullivan's
liking. Again that ripping left hand
swished down and tore away the chal-
ienger's guard. The powerful right shot
forward, caught Kilrain full in the
mouth, and he was lifted from his
feet, to slide along the turf and
against the ropes, almost out from the
force of the blow.
CHAPTER XIII
This was the turning point of the
battle, which, up to this time, had
consisted of a real fighting contest
both men being eager to stand up and
swap punches. From this time on,
however Kilrain was more wary. He
had been taught a lesson when he
