FARM BOOKKEEP-
ING NECESSARY
To Business-Like Farmers u,
S. Department of Agriculture
Furnishes Aid.

Farming is a business, and, to be
successful it must be conducted in
businesslike manner 1t involves the
production and sale of commodities
Just as does manufacturing. The bust
ness man, whether in factory or on
farm, should be contantly considering
two questions:
% What profit is my business max
ing?
(2) How can that profit be increas-
edi
The first of these must be answered
before an intelligent effort can be
made to answer the second. Proper
accounting leads directly to the ans
wer to the first question, and hence
il is essential to any well-thought-out
plan to increase profits.
The problem of the farmer is to
meet conditions on his own farm in
a way that will give him the greatest
net returns, year in and year out, for
the use OF his capital, his labor, and
his managerial ability. Before he can
be considered successful farm oper-
ator he must produce results that will
cover the value of all these, Capital
can earn interest without labor on
the part Of its owner, and labor can
earn wages without owning any CAPT
tai. The farmer, utilizing both in the
conduct of his business, should Sc
cure returns that will cover both in
terest and wages. Not until both Of
these have been more than covered
can any profit be credited to the farm
ing operations Nothing but return
in xcess of interest and wages car
properly be considered as net profit.
There is reason to believe that many
farmers. owing to lack of propel
records. not know what returns the,

FARGO GRAND JURORS

Rumors That There May Be

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 19.-There are
rumors that there may be some sem
sational arrests as a result of the
probe of profteering by the grand
jury which opens its sessions again
tomorrow following the holiday re-
cess.
1t was reported that business men
from many towns of the state were
before the jury. That the investiga-
ton was not then completed is evil
dent from jury findings" filed with
the clerk of court stating "That we
feel this matter should be further
considered at the reconvening of this
jury in January
In this report the grand jury stat
ed that it appeared evident that
wholesalers represented territorial
rights, reducing competition to the
minimum; that uniformity of prices
to the retailer is generally adhered
to, and that the wholesaler apparent
ly occupied the position of exacting
from the retailer an arbitrary price,"
The grand jury further reported
that after investigating retailers it
found there is a tendency to de-
mand unwarranted prices on certain
commodities, and not within the
scope Of prices or formulated by the
bureau of justice and fair prices"

BIRDS SONG IDENTIFIES IT
Once Heard, One 10 Not Apt to Forget
the TriIl Of the Beautiful :,s
Dickcissei.

As far as we are Informed, there is
but one American bird whose song can
be heard above the roar and rattle Of
a swiftly moving train. when the re-
ceiving end is on the said train.
You may be ''jazzihg" along at sixty
CT seventy miles an hour in your COM
Portable Pullman seat. and over the
tremendous hum and racket Of the
steel caravan will come to you from
the little feathered fellow on the tele-
graph wire outside the incessant song
Of hot-weather joy.
"Dick Dick! Dickcissel -
Or. If you prefer another analysis -:
''Chip! Chip! Chee-chee-chee!"
So the Dickcissel has a distinct
stunt of his own-something that no
other bird can initiate or rival. Some
times we think Dick is a bit proud Of
It, too. for he lines the railway right
of way clear across the middle west
ern and plains states in such numbers
his song Is ever in our ears while you
are travelling.
The Dickcissel was formerly called
the black-throated bunting and Is q
very beautiful creature as we'll as very
useful. He is mostly Of rich yellow
hue, with black throat-but nobody
need identify him by his dress, for his
song is inimitable. In our experience
we never heard any Of the mocking
birds attempt to initiate the "Chip!
Chip! Chee-chee-chee of the hot
weather friend
He is really a salamander Of the
air, too, for he is late in arriving and
early in departing. and does his best
vocal stunts when you and are gasp
ing beneath an electric fan. He eats
lots Of bugs and weed seeds and is
mighty good citizen.-Omaha World

SOLDIERS LIKED THE PRINCE
Cling With the Fighters, When
He Was Permitted.

In the front lines Canadian soldier
was building fire one cold night Of
late autumn. Out Of the night behind
him came a footstep. he turned, and
became doubly alert when he saw that
the man was not an officer Of his regi-
ment. The visitor approached the
blaze, held his hands out over It and
said:
'"Thls fire certainly looks good to
me-"
The tone was pleasant enough. and
suspicion was almost unarmed when
the voice went on:
"Have you wood enough? If you
haven't I'll get you some more"
The fire builder felt some regret that
any suspicion whatever remained, but
there had been a special warning
against strangers not of ones own
regiment. In response to 1t he was
about to question thelnewcomer close
ly, when an officer W IN he did know
came within the frelit circle and ad-
dressed the stranger:
"Your royal highness, It is best that
you return to the automobile at once"
And the prince Of Wales reluctantly
left the fire and returned to the place
where he officially belonged. 1t was
not the first time he had left that place
Of his own accord and gone forward
among the men. The Canadian who
tells the story learned afterward that
the princes staff had its hands full to
keep him from breaking away from
the official circle prescribed for him
and mingIing with the men on their
own ground.

UP-T0-DATE SUMMER HOUSES
Colony Plan Of Housing Poultry May
Be Adopted to Advantage on
Great Number Of Farms.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The curtain-front or partial open
front house is conceded to be the best
type for most sections. The colony
plan of housing poultry may be
adopted to advantage on many farms.
This system does away with the dan
ger of tainted soil.
The roosts should be built on the
same level, 3 feet from the floor, with
a dropping board about 6 inches be-
low them Good roosts may be made
Of . by = inch material with the upper
edges rounded.
The nests may be placed on the
side walls or under the dropping
boards. 1t is best to have them dark
ened, as the hens prefer secluded
place in which to lay.
