It is a fact that the only way to know Just what you are doing and Just what parts of your farm are bringing In a profit and what ones are being run at a loss la to "keep books." This docs not necessarily mean a com plicated system that will require half your time to keep in shape. By a lit tle care the method of keeping accounts can be so systematized ns to amount to only a few moments a week. The first and most hii|x>r!nut l»ook Is the check book. The "check book bab- Itj” will often save a great deal of money and trouble. If you lose your check l>ook or have It stolen, you still have your money left. You do not have to waste time trying to make change, since the check can bo always made out for exactly the right amount. When you give a man a chock In pay ment for what you owe him, he must sign that check before lie can draw the money on it. At the end of every month the bank returns these signed checks to yon, and yon thus have re ceipts for all tlie money you paid out during tlie month. For general accounts any good sized' blank book will answer. There are a number of specially made farmers’ ac count books, but a blank book which yon can rule to stilt yourself will be Jilst ns good or better. The first page should oe devoted to an Inventory of the stock, grain ami machinery, to gether with their value. Following this should be n map of the farm. Next to this should come the cash account. A convenient and simple way of arranging tills is ns follows: If a wothan want* to cut a man’* ac- qualntapcQ ib&tta/ JoplL-Jagger* at him./ ! Robert, the »mall lately acquired a ' stepmother.

If any. are unprofitable It Is necessary to keep some sort of an account of them. Tbix account must be simple and easily kept, for If it takes too much time it Is sure to be neglected.

The cost of seed will Include denning, test ing and other preparation. Perhaps the best way to figure the value of the mannre applied Is to Include It In the rent of the land. Thus tlie corn crop, which receives the first benefit from tlie manure, can lie charged a higher rent on this account. The amount charged to the cat erop will be less, while the clover crop, which really adds to tlte fertility of the land, will pay the lowest rent of all. Where tin- grain Is fed oft the farm there will of course bo no charge for marketing. The cost of clover seed, which Is sown with the oats, should be charged to the next year’s clover crop.

A glance at this page will show which crops are the most profitable ones. In «aso a certain crop does not show the profit that It should an other rrup should be substituted for It or different methods of culture adopted. Similar pages should lie arranged for the different classes of live stock. The following will servo ns a sample: x hi -/. hi X hi H /. X O o 3 D 1 1 u* t J3 5 § Ad C 32 H 3 * O -a u a -x V O /* H /.

In addition to the expense and income pages for the different classes of stor k there should be pages for keep ing track of "changing works" at thrashing time, for breeding records, for butter and cream, for poultry and for any other special line In which you are interested. Lining up and arranging the pages will make a good rainy day's Job for some of the children, and after that the time re quirt'd to keep the accounts in shape Will be too small to be noticed. Business methods In marketing are also necessary If the best results are to l>e obtained. A daily market paper lx Indispensable in keeping posted on the stock and grain markets and will pay for itself several times over In the course of a year. A telephone Is also valuable for obtaining up to the min ute market reports on special occa- sjens. In kcoplng ln touch with the local butter, egg and. poultry markets the telephone Is especially valuable. It Is ^iso a time saver in many other ways, so much so that the up to date business farmer cannot afford to be without one. CONUNDRUMS. Whv do mo**, of the Chinese people have to walk ?
