The farmer's inventory from various sources shows a net increase during the twelve months of $1,632. By time carefully taking an inventory a farmer may know what he has saved during the year and without an inventory it is very difficult for him to tell what progress, he has made. An inventory may be defined as a complete list of the property a person owns, together with the value of each item on_bhe list. Taking an inventory is not difficult. On the average farm it is about a day's work. At any rate it vein probably require a day the first time an inves'tory is taken, but the second inventory can be taken in lese time than the first, as nearly every- thing will be already listed and will need only to be checked over. Tho date of taking an inventory is of sufficient importance to merit some the payment of a mortgage or into new equipment, and an inventory ,is the best moans of showing such den gains. Inventories are also useful in mak- ing inoome tax returns and in figuring returns on live stock. Undoubtedly inventories are the most popular form of farm records. Everywhere over the province farmers are found who regularly take an an- nual inventory,'and many farmers aro found who have followed the practice for years. It may also be emphasized that one may take an inventory whether he keeps any other records or not. The Commission of 'Conservation, Ottawa, has issued a Farmer''s, Account Book which contains convenient blanks for baking an inventory as well as blanks for the other kinds of• records a farmer may wish to keep.
