prepared by the United States Department Mt
of Agriculture.)
Farming is a business, and like 9TH
er business men the farmer should
know which way he is going finan-
ctally. To drift along year after year
not knowing whether he is going to-
ward success or failure Is not the prac-
tice of successful business men, and
1t should not be the practice of farm
erS.
To guage progress by an increase in
cash In hand or to measure loss by
additional debts incurred without TAX
Ing into account decreases or increases
in the value of all property owned,
often leads to false conclusions. The
storekeeper is well aware Of this, and
his annual "stock taking" is nothing
more or less than the making of an
inventory or list Of property, withou
which he lacks accurate infOrmatio
concerning his profits and losses. In
ventories are not difficult to make, and
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture has found that they are of
great value to any farmer who is striv-
Ing to better his condition. They over
come obstacles and place his business
affairs on q secure basis.
Make Inventory When Convenient.
There Is no best time Of the year to
make an inventory for everybody and
under all circumstances. Each one
must decide for himself the date most
convenient. In deciding, however, the
most important consideration is to Sc
lect time Of the year before the sea-
sons work in the field begins. 1t will
save estimating large quantities of
farm produce on hand if the inventory
is taken as late in the spring as pos
sible before field work begins.
Although any day will do, it is gen.
orally found best to select the first day
Of some month, and fairly good guide
in any section will be the date upon
which tenants customarily change
farms. The best inventory date may
vary from January in the cotton belt,
to April 1 in New England and other
northern states, and for special farms
special dates are often required.
If no list of the farm property has
ever been made, 1t is well to start
preparations by going over the farm,
field by field, and building by build
ing, taking each item as it is found.
In this way nothing is missed. The
listing can be done in any memoran-
DUN book or on loose sheets of paper
All property owned comes under the
head of resources or assets. These may
be subdivided into physical or tangible
property, and financial, or intangible.

small amount of space If grouped to-
gether. The taller growing crops, such
as pole beans, tomatoes trained to
stakes, and sweet corn, should be
planted at one side Of the garden
where they will not shade the smaller
crops.
1t Is generally conceded that the
rows should run north and south; how
ever, it is more important to arrange
the rows for convenience Of cultivation
than for exposure to the sunshine.
Due consideration should be given
to both companion and succession crop
ping BY companion cropping, the plan
of planting two or more crops together
and removing those that mature first
is followed. By successive cropping
one crop follows another, keeping the
land fully occupied all the time. Thus,
early cabbage may be followed by Gel
cry or late tomatoes; early corn or
early Irish potatoes may be followed
by turnips, late beans, late beets, or
late cabbage. The arrangement Of
crops, however, depends somewhat up
on the locality and length of the sea-
son.
Detailed directions for locating and
planning gardens are contained in free
ment of Agriculture, which will be
sent upon application to the depart
ment.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Liabilities are an offset to the re-

is finished by summing up the valua-
tions. This is best done by adding
each page separately and carrying the
totals to the last page where they may
be conveniently added to attain a
grand total. The liabilities are summed
I'D in the same manner. When the
sum Of the liabilities is subtracted
from that of the resources the re-
