FARM ACCOUNTS.

ne farmer to find out what
lis beet his farm is shown. in the
following account of one New Eng-
land man's cxpceiene0. He had In-

father, n:
t , and was making a living on
it, but it was not nearly as good
a living, he felt, as Inc ought to be
making: T•Ie had said many' times'
that there was not. much money in
farming, and Inc. believed it; but
he was fifty years old, he kne
no other business, so he had kep
on.
A few years ago the questio

as she kit' down to the fragrant
tea, and she held out her ` small,
roughened hands.
Nurse Wortley shook her comely
head.
"No, no, Miss Hamilton. Dr,
Grantley tells me 'that you will
study with the schoplmistress down
in the village; so, between that and
what I can teach ybu, you will have
enough to do."
Nancy's heart throbbed with gra-
titude as she thought- of all her one
friend's kindness, and ones again
she determined to work as hard as
she could, so that she might show
him his charity was not wasted..
A '.week slipped by, and Nancy
grew almost accustomed to her new
home. She ' had commenced` her.
daily studies at the school, and was
in the first rudiments of her medi-
cal education.
Already the Trash county air, the
peace and her eager desire 'to:pro-
grass, had wrought a change; her
eyes were freed from ;the dark
marks of sorrow and anxiety, and
on her cheeks a tiny shade of col-
or was growing.
The simple' village people wel-
comed Nurse Wortley's' "young
lady" warmly, and. fell in love with
her sweet eyes ,an.i kind words.
It was curious how soon Nancy
had fallen into her proper place.
She woe not altered
from her. gen-
eral eral bearing, but'one and allad-
dressedher as "Miss," and looked
upon her as their superior.
At first the girl lived in some fear
of discovery; but as the days pass-
ed January melted into February,
and blustering March superseded
the last, and still she was' left un-
disturbed, her fears vanished, and
she gave herself up to the'enjoy-
ment of her simple, happy' life, and
to the further development of her
studies. •

A system of account -keeping w

a year. , It disclosed some, unlook
for facts. The farmed -found th
his poultry -the: least considered
and most carelessly managed de-
partment of his farm—was yield-
ing a profit far in excess of what
he supposed anything on the place
was paying. The sheep, of which -
he had always kept a moderate-
sized flock, came next. Like the
chickens, they were bringing. him
abetter profit than he bad suppos-
ed: But his dairy, which'had -al-
ways been considered the most im-
portant element of his farm, and
which included a large herd of
cows, was barely self-supporting.
The thought of this was discour-
aging. Thirty years of milking and
churning and pan -washing and ton
hours, all for nothing! The truth
was forded upon him that during
all these years he had been living
on 'his sheep and poultry and some
few. incidental products, and car-
rying on his dairy -to:. no purpose.
However, it was not too late to
mend. He determined to dispose of
his cows,' and to increase his sheep
and poultry—the.; things that paid.
But an acquaintance, to, whom Inc
told the -result of his moment keep-
ing and his present resolution,. gave
him some counsel.
"Wait a bit," said' he. "It's of
course wise to increase, your sheep
and poultry, for you know'now
that they pay you well. But keep.
in mind how you Sound it out. Car-

sift still more thoroughly, and see
if you aro not keeping some cows
at a loss, while others are turning
you a fair profit. A dairy of good
cows, properly managed, ought not
to' be a losing game."
A record was now kept of what
each separate cow yielded of milk
and butter. This brought out the
fact that some of the cows were
paying very well indeed; but the
number of those' that were only
self-supporting and those that were'
kept at.a loss was so great that it
brought the profit on the whole
herd clown to nothing.

readjustment on the farm was now

begun in earnest. The poultry was
increased until, in a few yars, the
number of hens ran into the thou-
sands. As many sheep were kept
as the pastures would carry. In

those about whose qualities at the

product to the best possible ad-
vantage.
The result is that the dairy now
pays an -entirely satisfactory pro-
fit. With this and his sheep and
poultry -keeping, the farmer has
prospered greatly. And all this
prosperity, together with the mas-
terly grasp upon his business which
comes from knowing just what he
is about, was made possible by
keeping accounts.
The experience of this farmer
shots how important the keeping of
farm accounts is to all. It matters
not how large or how small the
farm is; no really good business
g can be done without knowing just
what one is doing and . the profit
that can be reasonably expected in
each department. Even the ama-
teur, who keeps only a few'hens
and cultivates a little garden for
home use, will find' it more satis-
factory to be able to .compare the
result with what it cost.
The question is often asked how
farm accounts should Inc kept. All
that is necessary is to keep them
so that' the disbursements and re-
ceipts in each department can be
readily seen, and the profit or loss
easily figured. The simpler the sys-
tem, . the better.'In the expense
account should be.all the money,
or its equivalent, that is
q paid d out;.
in the receipts account all the mon-
ey, or its equivalent, that is taken
in.
The cash is very easily kept track
of. Charging or crediting its equi-
valent. is not quite so simple, but
requires only the exercise of a little
common sense.- What costs the
farmer somethingas, for instance,
the use of his team inplowingfor
a given crop -should . be reckoned
at the actual cost, which in this
case is the cost of maintenance
while the work is being done. What-
ever the farmer produces that is
used at ` home—at poultry, pork,
eggs, and so forth—should be reck-
oned at exactly the cash the pro-
ducts would sell for.

sau and missed it by a tiair'e
breadth. The terrific winds had
stirred up the usually calm waters
of the South Atlantic, sending out
in all directions huge waves, verit-
able mountains of water.
On board the Indefatigabro, on
a tour of inspection, were the offic-
er of the port and the governorofthe Bahamas. They stayed over-
night. By morning the big seas
had become to come in, slowly and
regularly, lifting the cs uiser..-hieh -w" '

striking the :b 'and rushing shore-

At clevep o'clock an attempt was
made to 'cross theibar. T e . gov-

was anxious to return, and
the commander of. the cruiser was
under orders der
s to proceed at noon.
The long -boat; with seven. pairs
of oars, the crew wearing life -belts,
cautiously approached the danger-
ous passage. A dash- was made.
The next instant a big wave rose
from somewhere, broke in the shoal
water directly behind the boat, and
hid it from view. A moment later
it emerged half-filled with water,
while two of the crew were strug-
gling in the sea perhaps fifty feet
distant.
From the cruiser it appeared as
if the entire boat -load was doomed.
To send assistance from the ship
was impossible. The only help
could come'from those on shore,
who, however, could not have wit-
nessed the accident, a'^i wilh.cilonwc^`
communication was cut off.
Then came' a happy thought. The
cruiser was equipped with wireless
telegraphy. There was, however,
no wireless station at Nassau, but
two hundred" miles . away, on the.
coast of Florida, lay Rey West,
with its powerful government wire-
less station.
Key West was called. In a mo-
ment a -response was' received.
Three minutes more and the mes-
sage for assistance had been"atele-
graphed from Key West to the Ba-
bama cable office, from there flash-
ed 'beneath the water to Nassau,

complete passage took eight minu-

ance. By skilful manoeuvering,,
the long -boat had managed to pick
up its two sailors and started -back
to the cruiser. Tlie life -belts had
saved the men.
Late that evening the cruiser:'
sailed twenty miles, round to
Southwest Bay, where the giisests
were landed in safety.
