Home Course In
Modern Agriculture
XVIII. The Business Side of Farming
By C. V. GREGORY,
jfricutturat Tidtjton, Ioboa JHat Co?
Copyright. 1000. by American Pre Association
FARMING on' high priced Iasd
must bo conducted, on business
principles If tho greatest prof
Its nrc to bo realized. Tho
farmer's work Is by no tncaiiH dono
when he has raised n largo crop of
corn or successfully fattened a car
load of steers. lie must lie nolo to
market his produce nt n proft and
must nlso know whether tho fitcora
were fed nt n protlt or n loss and what
It costs to produce each crop of grain.
It Is n fact that tho only way to
know Just what you nrc doing and
Just what parts of your farm aro
bringing In n profit and what ones nro
bolng ruu at n loss Is to "keep books."
This does not necessarily mean a com
plicated system that will require half
your tlmo to keep iu shape. By a lit
tle care tho method of keeping accounts
can be so systematized ns to amount
to only n few moments u week."
The first and most Important book to
tho check book. Tho "check book hab
it" will often save a great deal of
money and trouble. If you loso.your
check book or bavo It stolon, you still
have your money left. You do not
havo to Waste tlmo trying to mako
change, since the check can bo always
made out for exnetly tho right amount.
When you glvo n man n check In pay
ment for what you owo him, ho must
sign that check before ho can draw
the money on it. At tho end of every
month tho bank returns theso signed
checks to you, and you thus havo re
ceipts for nil the money you paid out
during tho month.
For general accounts any good sized
blank book will answer. Thero nro a
number of specially raado farmers' nc
count books, but a blank book which
you can rule to suit yourself will bo
Just ns good or better. Tho first pago
should bo devoted to an Inventory of
tho stock, grain and machinery, to
gether with their value. Following
this should bo a map Of the farm.
Next to this Bhould eomo tho cash
account. A convenient nnd simple
way of arranging this Is ns follows:

In order to know what crops aro
bringing in n protlt and what ones, if
any, aro unprofitable It is necessary
to keep some sort of nn account of
them. Thin account must be simple
nnd easily kept, for If it takes too much
time It Is sure to bo neglected. Tho
following pago headings show a con
venient method of keeping account of
tho field crops:

This gives nn estimate thnt Is accu
rate enough to give a very good idea
of what It costs to produce each parv
tlcular crop. In figuring tho cost of
labor enough should bo added to pay
for tho uso of tho machinery. The
cost of seed will Include cleaning, test
ing nnd other preparation. Perhaps
tho best way to figure the vnluo of tho
manure applied Is to Include it in tbo
rent of tho Irtnd. Thus the corn crop,
which receives tho first benefit from
the manure, can bo chnrged a higher
rent on tills nccouut. Tho amount
chnrged to tho ont crop will be less,
whllo tho clover crop, which really
adds to the fertility of the land, will
pay the lowest rent of nil. Whcro tho
grain Is fed on the farm there will of
course bo no charge for marketing.
Tho cost of clover seed, which is sowni
with tho ont s, should bo charged to,
tho next year's clover crop.
Following tho cxpenso account,
should come a profit nnd loss pago: i

Onco a year these two pages can bo
balanced, nnd you can seo Just where'
you stand In tho hog busjucss. In
addition to the expense and incomo
pages for tho different classes, of
stock 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 lino. Iu which
you are Interested. Lining up nnd
arranging the pages will make a
good rainy day's Job, for some of tho
children, and after that the time re
quired to keep the accounts iu shape
will bo too small to be notlid.
Business niotbods In marketing are
lso necessary if tho bet remits are
to be obtained. A dally market paper
Is ludlapens-iblo In keeping ported ou
tho stock and grain mnritets and will
pay for Itself sevoral times over In tho
course of 11 yonr. A tolopltono Is also
valuable for obtaining up to tbo min
ute inm!'"t reports on special occa
sions. Iu keeping in touch with tho
local butter, egg and poultry markets
the telephone Is especially valuable. It
la also a tlmo savor Iu many other
ways, so much so that the jip to date
business farmer cannot afford to be
without one.
