May Be Claulfled When FARM HOUSEHOLD ACCOUNTS URGED Two Simple Methods of Making and Classifying Records of Expenditures. USE ORDINARY BLANK BOOK Details Encourage Economy and Show Relation of Home Expenses to Farm Business Ten Divi sions Satisfactory. Tho modern former's wife Is no longer satisfied with the old accepted ldm that "the farm gives us a liv ing." but sho gets nut her pencil and paper and asks "How much ot a liv ing does It give iihT' Generptlons ago neither the form nor the farm household had any but minor dealings with tho outside world. Under such conditions thu need for accounts was slight. But those con ditions no longer exist. The farm household, though still In many cases receiving Its major support In farm products consumed nt home, purchases fnr more extensively thnn ever be- i fore from outside sources. Farm house hold accounts have become essential to economy. Household expenses on the farm nro very Intlmntely associated with tho business of the farm Itself. The farm normally supplies much material w.ileh otherwise would become a household expnse. Tho household, In turn, very often furnishes board for fnrm labor, which would otherwise be a fnrm expense. Merely from the stnndpolnt of keeping track of house hold expenses as relnteil to tho fnrm business, household accounts are de sirable nnd should servo to supplement nnd round out farm nccountH. Ways of Keeping Records. There are two methods of keeping n record a' household expenditures. One Is to record tho purchases or money paid out without classifying the expenditures. The other Is to clas sify when tho record Is made. The first method Is very simple, re quires no special form, nnd gives nil necessary Information regnrdlng ex penditures. At the end of tho month or nt tho end of the year tho total expenditures readily may be deter mined. In order, however, to know the totals for each kind or class It will be necessnry to make up a monthly summnry, In which tho Items will bo distributed In different columns, by cmsses. This extra work ot tho end of each month (or nt the end of tho yenr) may cause discouragement nnd neglect of classlMentlnn, witn the result that tho greatest good that could be derived from the records Is not realized. Under the second method, In addi tion to being entered nil together In one column, the Items nro classified In separate columns. This method has tho same advantages as the first meth od and the additional advantage of al lowing for the dlstrlbu:lpn ot the Items of expenditure to tho proper classes without tho Inconvenience of turning to aome other page.

When tho page Is tilled the next page Is begun, tho top line next to the heading being reserved for the total carried forward from preceding page. The Items may bo totaled at tho end of the month nnd these totals carried to the summary pngc nt the end of tho book. Book Not Important. Tho kind of book to use Is not Im portant. Au ordinary blank day-book or ledger book with a stiff cover may bo bought at a reasonable price. If the vertical rulings In tho book do not serve tho purpose others may bo Inserted with a pen or pencil. Ac counts arc sometimes kept In a book having small pages. A small page, however, Is soon filled. Is often crowded, nnd the Information Is scat tered over too many pages for conven ience In recording and studying the expenditures. In order to simplify nccounts It Is well to group expenditures. If all In-dividual-Items were listed In separata columns, It would require a great amount of detail work. The distribu tion of tho different household expen ditures Into groups Is Inrgely a matter of Individual viewpoints. The follow ing ten divisions should be satisfac tory for 'lie average farm family: An Imal food, fruits nnd vegetables, cerenl products, other groceries, clothing, household 'urnlshlngs, running expen ses, advancement, Incidentals nnd sav ings. Peppers and Celery In Brine. Green peppers nnd celery can be preserved for future use by brining. If properly done peppers so prepared enn be used ns substitute for fresh peppers In pickles or snlads, or after freshening In water can be used for NtufTed popper. Properly prepared they can hardly be told from fresh poppers. The method of brining Is as follows : Bemove the steins nnd seed nnd pnek nnsp down Into a watertight, non-metnlllc receptacle, such ns a keg, barrel, crock or glnss fruit Jnr. Cover with a brine made by adding two pounds of Halt to each gallon of water. If it keg, barrel or crock Is used, sus pend n wooden cover In tho brine so that It will keep tho peppers well below the surface. If the coer Is placed on the peppers nnd weighted without sus pension, It will crush the peppers nnd make them lnso their shnpe. Add more snlt to the cover until no moro will dissolve. If put In fruit Jars or other containers that can be sealed, no more bait need be added. In this ense, allow to stand for three or four days to nllow gas to escape, then fill per fectly full with brine and seal tight. Keg-.t or barrels that have a good head can be filled full with peppers and brine and headed up. Fresh pepper can be added from tlmo to time as they mature. Before use, freshen In water to remove salt and then use like fresh peppers. Celary can bo preserved In tho sorao mnnner, and after freshening la ex cellent for soups, creamed celery and for flavoring purposes. Save Sugar. Use "one tenspoonful to the cupful.' Serve more fruits for dessert. Make fruit Juices nnd simps. Use sirups In general cooking. Can without sugar. Dry your fruits and vegetables. from tho situation.
