AAE`YGU KEEPING
ACCOUNTS?
1
"Take care of costs and profits wi 1
take care of themselves," has long
been an axiom with business men. It
has only lately been applied by pro=
gressive farmers to figuring out
whether agriculture is paying them.
Even now fame woman can not be
:;lid to he vary eaiineetly engaged in
fines:n,g out whether the honsekeep-
in;': ex.esnsee are over large, but here
and thele ps.ogre sive farin women
have begun to study tett just what the
table costs incl what the general run-
ninc expenses are, with a view to
stopping leaks and cutting out un-
necessary charges. In these days of
inflated prices for everything we buy
n i eveman can afford to neglect any
chance to reduce living exnenses to
the lowest figure possible with good
health and good lining. It is not at
ail desirable that we be niggardly,
bet many of us could live in better
health with less honey than we are
now spending, if we would make a
study lxf balanced diet and along with
It keen account of expenditures.
Seine interesting findings have been
made by a few worsen who have tried
the experiment. One woman found
that for her family of three a month's
meals cost $31,77, er eleven and one-
third cents s per meal. Another found
It cOCt $2.47 per defy to feed four per-
ene, two women and two active
young men. Of this surn $1.61 was
!for food and the other eighty-six
cents for labor and fuel- Another
found that three adults, all (loin:
'lard wok, coat her severs een rent a
meal tech, er fifty cents per person
i:e: dal.
' Perhaps one of the most pertinent
discs: cries was made by ones investi-
gator in the matter of breakfast
foods, Just how much we pay for the
cereal when we buy a package, and
'how much of our purchase price is ap-
rlied to manufacture, wrappings, ad-
vertising and profits is shown in her
breakfast which had home -cracked
wheat as its cereal. The home-made
product cost her at the rate oft$2.30
a bushel. Shredded ens Jieat, according
to her figures, costs at the rate of
812 a bushel. wheat flakes, $18 a bu-
shel, and puffed wheat $36 per bu-
bol.
The entire breakfast consisted of
home -cracked wheat, corn, muffins,
peanut butter, a quart of milk, and
nears and cost fifty-three cents. A
dinner of Irish stew --containing po-
tatoes, onions,. carrots and tomatoes,
—eabbage and celery salad, whole
wheat brand, and butter, and . ehoco-
late custard and cream, cost sixty
and three-fourths cents. Supper of
creamed salsify, baked' potatoes,
bread and butter, oatmeal cookies,
boiled sweet apples with sugar, and
tasted peanuts, cost forty-seven and
a half cents. These figures apply
solely to the cost of the food, and
lake no account of labor and fuel. In'
deciding how much your food costs
the question at once arises, shall you
charge it up to what the food costs
you to raise on your farm or vs'hat
you would get for it if you sold it.
Of course, if you eat your cake you
can't sell it, so you are out of pocket
S -,-hat you night have if the food con-
sumed were taken to market. On the
ether hand, it really only cost in ne-
tual dollars and cents the labor of
produeing and cost of seed. Decide
before you start your account book
which way you will charge.
Of course, if you are to keep ac-
counts you must have an account
jiook. Buy a blank book and make
your own account book. A plain writ
ting tablet, ruled, will do if it is Nide
enough.
The best account book tabulates
the various items under the general
headings, food, shelter, clothing, oper-
ating expenses and advancement.
These go on one line across the top
• of the page. These various headings
are subdivided as follows: food, groc-
eries, meat.. 'Shelter, rent, or if you
own your, home, taxes) payments, in-
suranee, repairs, improvements, in-

Europe's poultry population in the
duration of the war, was reduced by
180,000,000 birds. The loss was heav-
iest in Belgium, where the total
stock is now only twenty per cent of
its pre-war size. Holland lost sev-
enty-five per cent of its poling,
France fifty per cent., and Denma
fifty per cent. Is it any wonder that
the poultrymen of these countries are
interested in holding a poultry confer-
ence at The Hague with a view to
eonsid'ering ways and means of in-
creasing production?

Murdered Classics.
Time deals hardly withthe wisdom
of classical authors.
Modern versions are invariably in-
correct. "When Greek meets Greek,
then comes a tug of war," is wrong.
The original line written by Nathaniel
Lee, one of the old-time dramatists,
occurs in his play, long since forgot-
ten, "The Rival Queens, or Alexander
the Great." It reads; "When Greeks
joined Greeks, then was the tug of
war."
Similarly Milton's "fresh woods and
pastures new" is invariably rendered
"fresh fields and pastures new;" while
another pitfall for the unwary is to be
found .tin the well-known lines of
Kingsley, beginning "Be good, sweet
maid" Nine people out of tett, if
challenged with them, would repeat:—
Ile good, sweet maid, and let who will
be clever;
Do noble deeds, not dream them all
day long.
'Whereas what the poet actually did
write was:--
Be good, sweet maid, and „let who can
be clever;
Do lovely things, not dream them, all
day long.
