WHY KEEP FA KM RECORDS

There are ot ienat two good reasons for keeping a record of the farm

cause some other improvements have been made, such as buildings and
fences. When one increases the amount of live stock or buys machinery In

The second good reason for keeping farm accounts is that it helps one

to determine his labor Income, which

the labor incoire by comparing the financial results on a' number of fa' ii.s

A fleece of good quality cannot b
grown on a poor half-starved sheep.
If the ewes are allowed to get poor

the lambs will be weak and will per

The dams will have more milk for
their young, too, if they are well cared
