what his net worth is, and when he has made such a list annually he knows each year whether he has gone forward or back, and just how much has been the increase or de- crease in the net worth of his busi- ness.
 The United States Department of Agriculture has just issued Farmers Bulletin 1182 entitled Farm Inven- tories," in which are given detailed instructions for making an inventory of farm property and revising such a list from year to year. By using the simple system described in this bulletin any farmer can determine exactly his financial status and lay the foundtion for a permanent sys- tenn of accounting. Without the farm inventory as a basis no system of accounting that might be chosen would be of any great use to the far mer.

Plenty of Free Sunshine
 Will Reduce Cholera Bill


 A few days work in the pig pens and yards scraping, disinfecting, and cleaning is pretty good. hog-cholera insurance, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Strict sanitation is the best aid the farmer can give to the work of the hog cholera serum. It is unwise and un- economical to depend entirely upon the serum to protect the swine from this costly disease. In 1918, the farmers paid serum bill of over $5,000,000 and they still lost $60,- 100000 worth of pigs. There can be no doubt as to the effectiveness of the serum treatment, but the sensible farmer will do what he can with shovel, hoe, and disinfectant to re- move the cause of the trouble. The threat of cholera is always present so long as there are undrained cesspools and wallows. Straw stacks should never be left from one year to the next if they are where the hogs can reach them. Shelters and pens should be so constructed that they may be easily cleaned and exposed to the sunlight. A few days devoted to work of this sort in the fall when the hogs have been taken from the pens will do much to protect the herds of another year. G -.as

yard a box of grit should be kept. Recent investigators have asserted that grit is a part of the necessary feed of a flock, giving the fowls strong bones and a bright plumage.
 Ordinarily, the hen does not con- sume enough lime to form the shells of eggs, if she is laying abundantly, unless something besides the ordin- ary grain feeds is accessible to her. Oyster shells are very good for this purpose. A box of crushed shells may be placed before the fowls, all lowing them to eat at will. Old mortar and fine gravel are also use- ful in supplying lime, say poultry specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. ' '7
 Charcoal readily absorbs gases, impurities, and acids, and thus acts as a corrective when the stomach is sour and digestion has been impaired

Farm Inventory Index

Farm Inventory Index
 to Financial Progress
 What is the net worth of your farm business? Is it more or less than one would imagine from a cas- ual inspection of your farm? Do you know for sure whether you are going or coming in financial standing?
 These are important questions to the farmer, and questions that are not so easily answered as would at first appear. Farming is an intricate business, and one in which returns from investment are sometimes long delayed, SO that progress can not be accurately measured by the amount of money taken in in a given time. Sometimes cash income may be al- most wholly attributable to reduc- tion in other assets, 80 that in real ity the result is like taking money from one pocket and putting it in another. +@s@
 The farm inventory, or property list, offers the only practicable way of answering these questions. Once the farmer has made complete list of all his assets and liabilities and has balanced them he knows just

What Will Kill Chicken
 ~.s o'~ Lice and What Will Not

Experiments to determine what substances are best for exterminat- ing or keeping under control chick en lice have been made by the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture. -.A '"R. .'
 . The following is a list of powder ed substances that were found to be effective against chicken lice when used as dusts: Arsenic trioxid, bari um fuorid, barium tetrasulphid, bo- rax, boric acid, cloves, naphthalene, paradichlorobenzene, sabadilla seeds, sassafras bark, sodium fiuorid, flow CTS of sulphur, and refined sulphur. Only few of these materials can, however, be considered of any prac- tical value. in the control of chicken lice. Arsenic trioxid is too poison ous; barium fiuorid, cloves, sabba- dilla seeds, and paradichlorobenzene are too expensive, or, not readily available in large quantities.; naph- thalene is dangerous if applied too freely, and barium tetrasulphid does not kill all the lice. Sodium fiuorid is the most practical remedy given in this list. fl, '.'. -'' @-. --i .~
 The materials listed below were found to be of no value against chic ken lics in spite of popular opinion regarding many of them. 1-.'.

Give Poultry Right Kind
 of Feed at Fixed Periods

OT ecu AL hACo SEAoo@
 Feed according to the appetite of the birds; no definite rule can be given. Feed scantily of grain in the morning and give all the grain they will eat in the afternoon in time to find it before dark. There should be no grain in the litter at noon; when found, it indicates feeding too much in the morning.
 In general, feed by weight 2-3 parts of grain to parts of mash. When the birds are laying heavily they should consume larger amount of mash.
 A green range of alfalfa, clover, or grass furnishes the ideal condition. When these are not available it is necessary to give the birds some kind of succulent food. Mangel beets, cabbage, sprouted oats, or green clover are usually considered the best green feeds. If these are not obtainable, apples and potatoes make valuable addition to the ra- tion. Feed at noon in such amounts as the birds will clean up before night.
 Hard, sharp grit is necessary for grinding feed; oyster shell to supply lime for egg shells. Neither will replace the other.

Poultry Rsquires Plenty .. - qad4l rsf,a vc of Mineral Food in Die

sD Grit is essential to the health of fowls and to economy in feeding. Grit takes the place of teeth in pre- paring the feed for further digestion and is required for the proper pre- pafation5 of feed in. the gizzard. When the feed is not properly taken care of in this organ, an undue strain is thrown on the fowls system often resulting in disease and also allowing much of the nutriment to pass through the birds body without being absorbed.

Quality Important Factor
 In Marketing Farm Produce

An example of the part that qual- ity plays in business of direct mar keting of farm produce is furnished by the experience of a man in Ken lucky who markets eggs, dressed poultry, meats, and fruits to consum- CTS in Nashville, Tenn.
 The business was established over two years ago by obtaining a friend as the first customer. From this modest beginning the producer has obtained sufficient customers to buy all of the high-grade produce he can supply. Most of the shipments are made by parcel post.
 This business is conducted on the basis of high quality with adequate returns. Customers are selected with as much care as most consumers show in selecting a producer from whom to buy farm produce. Custo- mers are retained by never breaking the rule to supply only the best pro- duce raised on his own farm. If, when an order is obtained, this far mer does not have produce of the highest quality, he informs the GUS toner and states that unless other wise instructed the produce will be shipped at the earliest possible date

After that time the temperature of the oven should be lowered gradu- ally to 375 degrees F. so that the crust will not become too hard.

Cost of Protein Varies in
 Different Kinds of Food

Different Kinds of Food
 Prices vary so much with place and season that definite statements about the cost of different materials are out of the question, say food economists of the United States Department of Agriculture. It IS possible, however, to reckon how much one may pay at current prices for one material, say milk, eggs or cheese, in order to obtain protein as cheaply as from another material, say meat at 50 cents a pound.
 A pound of meat, medium fat, with an average amount of refuse Cbones, trimmings, etc.,, supplies about 2 ounces of protein. Eight eggs yield practically the same amount. If eggs cost 72 cents a dozen, 48 cents worth will furnish about as much protein as 50 cents worth of meat. In other words, eggs at 72 cents dozen are little cheap CT as a source of protein than meat at 50 cents a pound.
 In the same way it may be reck- oned that milk, which contains about 1 ounce of protein to the quart, might cost 12 15 cents a quart and l provide protein at one-half the ex-
