XVHL— The Business Side of Faming 11 \ By C. V. GREGORY, \ Agricultural Hi-otsion . Iot»a St aim Caltmgm ' X j

1 FARMING on high jwlced land , must .be conducted on business 1 principles If the greatest prof-' 1 Its are to be realised. The; 1 farmer's work la by no means done { < when be has raised a large crop of ] corn or successfully fattened a car- 1 load of steers. He must be able to 1 market his produce at a profit and 1 must also know whether the sterna • were fed at a profit or a loss and what , It coots to produce each rop of grain. 1 It is a fact that the only way to < know Just what you are doing and < Just what parts of -.your farm are 1 bringing In a profit and what onee are ] being run at a loaa Is to "keep books." < This does not necessarily mean a com- ; plicated system that will require half < your time to keep In shape. By a Ut- . tie care the method of keeping accounts . can be so systematlsed as to amount to only a few moments a week. , The first and most Important book Is the check book. The "check book habit" will often save a great deal of money and trouble. If you lose your check book or have It stolen, you still have your money left Tou do not have to waste time trying to make change, since the check can be always made out for exactly the right amount When ytm give a man a check In payment for what you owe him, he must sign that check before be can drew the- money on It At the end of every month tbe bank returns these signed checks to you, and you thus have receipts for all the money yon paid ont during the month. For general accounts spy good sized blank book will answer. There are a number of specially made farmers' ac- ! count books, but a blank book which you can rule to suit yourself will beJust as good or better. The first page should be devoted to an Inventory of the stock, grain and machinery, together with their value. Following this should be a map of the farm. Next to this should come the cash account A convenient and simple way of arranging this Is as follows: j £ 8 j 8 8 I 1 6= ! 4 * ^ i s Si % eS 6 E 9 & 6 « * S % § «» ■ i lis =1 • I 11 I- 3 « X ® 0 K K SB 56 ■ O O s s ; | g 1 * f = I ^ ! I 1 I . p t ■ 1 4 . o 1 ! o S ! » ■ | U £ I I i 2 s 4 2 8 r 4 a 4 it ! 8 L B In order to know what crops are , f bringing In a profit and what ones, If s any. are unprofitable It Is necessary a to keep some sort of an account of to seep aoiae dul h ui ui ov^wuui v-

them. This account must be simple and easily kept for If It takes too much time It is sure to be neglected Tbe following psge headings show a convenient method of keeping account of tbe field crops: ■* I I i \ i ! ! I i 7. • • j : ; j : : : £ i : . : os :::::::: I J minii i g C :::::::: s , 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 I ' i | j I j i I I I .j ? iiJiiLiiiJ- < j :::::::: : a. i s g * j 0 i ill':!: : g E : £ I j j | j j I j. iiUiijl 1 iliiilll i This gives an estimate that is accurate en ouch to give a very good Idea

find other preparation. Perhaps the best way to figure the value of the manure applied Is to toe hide It to the rent of u>e tond-^Ttos tbewro wop. rent on this account The amount I charged to the oat crop will be lees, while the clover crop, which really adds to the fertility of the land, will J the lowest rent of all Where the grata Is fed on the farm there wDl of course be no charge for marketing. cost of clover seed, which Is sown with the oats, should be charged to '[ the next year's clover crop. Following tbe expense account ahould come a profit ffld lose page: £ B : : : j j j : : {grf | g s "3 ; j j : : ; i : < E J Iff: i g ^ ^ : : : s : : I i 1 JjJIilLL o 1 i : : i | | | | \ w < f j' £ f | • i I 1 Jiniiii - 111 urn A glance at this page will show which crops are the most profitable ones. In case a certain crop does not show the profit that It should aiiother crop should be substituted for It or different methods of culture adopted. Similar pages should be arranged for the different classes of live stock. The following will serve as a sample: I £ j I I * I £ I I o ^ Mi 11 I u — 2 * ? 1 i ~ e | 0 5 6 lls 5 I m a e > ■ IS

; ! | I 5 ~ I ° Once a year these two pages can be balanced, and you can see Just where you stand in the hog business^ In addition to the expense and income P8ges for the different classes of stock there should be pages for keeping track af "changing works" at thrashing time, for breeding records, for butter and cream, for poultry and for any other special line In which yon are interested. Lining up and arranging tbe pages will malts a good rainy day's Job for some of the children, and after that the time required to keep the accounts in shape will be too small to be noticed. Business methods to marketing are also necessary If the best results are to be obtained. A dally market pa pel la Indispensable in keeping posted on tbe stock and grain markets and will pay for Itself several times over to the course of a year. A telephone Is also valuable for obtaining up to the minute market reports on special occasions. In keeping to touch with tbe local butter, egg and poultry markets the telephone la especially valuable. It Is also a time saver In many other ways, so much so that tbe up to date ' business farmer cannot afford to be 11 Without one.
