ANSWER TO MANY QUESTIONS Complete List of Asaets and Liabili ties Each Year Tells Land Owner Just How Much Increase or Decrease Has Been. t What is the net worth of your farm business? Is it more or less than one would Imagine from a casual Inspec tion of your farm? Do you know for sure whether you are going or coming In financial standing? Question Not Easily Answered. These are imiortnnt questions to the farmer and questions that are not so easily answered as would at llrst appear. Tanning is an Intricate busi ness and one in which returns from Investment are sometimes long de layed, so that progress cannot be ac curately measured by the amount of money taken In in a given time. Some times cash Income may he almost 'hi ii Mi i I i 4 I i - '. i ' I 1 'A ! . V4-, - a r ''V. Farm Inventory Is Index to Financial Progress. wholly attributable to reduction In other assets, so that In reality the re sult is like taking money from one pocket and putting It In another. The farm inventory, or property list, offers the only practicable way of an swering these questions. Once the farmer has made a complete list of all his assets and liabilities and has bal anced them he knows Just what his net worth is, and when he has made such p. list annually he knows each year whether he has gone forward or back and just how much has been the increase or decrease in the net worth of his business. Detailed Instructions. The United States Department of Agriculture has just issued Farmers' bulletin 1TJS, entitled "Farm Inven tories," in which are given detailed in structions for making an Inventory of farm property und revising such a list from year to year. Ily using the single system described in this bulletin any farmer can determine exactly his financial status and lay the foundation for a permanent system of accounting. "Without the farm inventory as a basis no system of accounting that might be chosen would be of any great use to the farmer. FANNING MILL VERY USEFUL Present High Price of Grain Should Bring Machine Into More Use on Stormy Days. In many parts of the country there has been a tendency to let the fanning mill rest and rust and gather dust and to pay the mill or elevator for cleaning the grain, paying the bill by accepting u low price for the uncleaned wheat or oats or barley. Besides, the chick ens los? the screenings. The present high price of grain should bring many a neglected fanning mill into profita ble use. Incidentally, farmers will have profitable work for stormy days, and much cheap feed for chickens, pigs and other animals. EASY TO WINTER FALL PIGS Where Farmer Is Properly Equipped He Can Raise Young Animals Without Difficulty. More fall pigs are being raised now adays than was the case a few years Ago. This Is due largely to the fact that grain Is relatively high-priced. When a man is properly equipped for taking care of fall pigs through the winter season he can raise them about as cheaply as he can spring pigs and he gets more out of his sow by breed ing her twice n year than only once. It Is not ditlicult to winter fall pigs If one gives the matter proper atten tion. TO AID CO-OPERATION Farmers' Hüllet in No. 1144, r n Co-Openitlve Marketing, has just been IsmkmI by the United States Department of Agricul ture. Washington. D. C.

Poultry Specialists cf United States Department of Agriculture Give Suggestions for Prepara tion of Fowl. Although the larger poultry shows are usually held In the fall, smaller ex hibitions are staged throughout the winter months. The following advice in training and conditioning birds pre vious to a show, given by poultry spe cialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Is good the whole year round. The bird that has been properly trained and prepared will stand a better chance every time of winning, a prize , than another bird equally good, but wild or easily fright ened, or whose plumage is soiled or dirty. After the birds are selected, remove them from the rest of the flock and place each bird In an exhibition coop for at least a part of each day. Fowls so confined will become accustomed to the coop. Handling them that is, re moving them from the coop each day will have the effect of making them tame. In handling the birds and re moving and returning them to and from the coops, move quietly ami han dle the birds gently so as not to frighten them. Fxamine the plumage so that the fowl will become accustomed to such movements when being handled by the Judge. Likewise, attempt to compose the bird by smoothing and stroking the wattles gently; this seems to have a soothing effect on the fowls, and when dope frequently and properly they come to look for It when one approach es the coop. Illrds to be exhibited should not be confined to the exhibition coops for too great a period, as long, continuous cooping may cause them to get out of condition and therefore unfit for show. A satisfactory plan Is to confine the birds for a part of each day or every other day alternately up to a few days before sending them to the show, when they should be confined until ready to ship. EXERCISE FOR SOWS NEEDED Feed for Animals Should Be Scattered Around Floor to Compel Them to Hustle. Sows due to farrow in April or May ought to have some bulky feed. Frof. J. II. Sheperd of the North Dakota Ag ricultural college reports that the herdsman at the agricultural college feeds a pound to a pound and a quar ter of grain per 100 pounds weight of sow and a little alfalfa hay to give plenty of bulk. He also advises mak- Prize-Winning Poland China Sow. ing the sows take exercise, scattering their feed around on the floor so they will have two hours or more of work in picking It up. Another good thing about alfalfa hay Is that it keeps them on their feet quite a little while, l'lgs from sows which have had plenty of exercise and bulky feed are usually much stronger than those from fat, lazy sows. ROTTEN EGG IS UNDESIRABLE Many Farmers Do Not Seem to Care or Bother About Clean Nests for the Layers. No one likes a rotten egg, conse quently no one, Is going to buy one not even the commission dealer. Many farmers do not care whether their hens steal their nests or not and do not bother to hunt for the eggs until mar ket day comes around. Once a week Is sometimes as often as eggs are looked for. Any eggs that have come from an old nest $r that in any way look suspicious should be candled at home before sending them to market. TRACTORS ARE TIME SAVERS To Get Full Benefit of Machine' Farm er Should Get All Information About Mechanism. Farm tractors are time savers for the average farmer. After a farmer gets a tractor his first Impulse should be to get all the Information possible about it and then so manage it as to get the fufl benefit from that informa tion.

Hark on trees and shrubs corre sponds with the skin on animals. Hut It Isn't wood, according to one scien tist, end it isn't formed as wood is formed. It covers the wood, and It is generally an easy matter to separate the bark from the wood. Hemp and jute and flax are all bark the outside covering of certain vegetable growths. Bark is composed of three layers of tissue. .The inside layer conducts food to the plant, and under a magnifying glass is seen to be made up of tiny fibers. Then there is the "green zone," as it is called, and this also Is fibrous and helps feed the plant. The out side layer is cork, and is really dead. That is, these cork cells develop ami die immediately, so one really sees only a dead tree when he looks at the bark. The cork of commerce Is the bark of a certain kind of tropical tree. ' but the outer layer of bark of all trees is technically known as cork, and the little cells going to make it up are called cork. Papa Missed Her, Too.

In every hotel and train there are sure to be as many babies as adults. "I was ushered one evening by a Malaga waiter into the lofty marble and bronze restaurant of a sumptuous hotel. The restaurant was erowded with babies. "This Is our dining hall, senor, .aid the waiter complacently. "I put my hands to my ears. "'Your dining hall?' I said. 'Don't you mean your bawl room?'"
