Farm Inventories.
To many of us the ilrst question
that arises when a farm inventory is
mentioned. is "What is it?" To others
the question comes, “How can i use
it?" And lastly one asks. “or what
value is it. or will it be. to me?"
A farm inventory is one of a num.
her of various kinds of farm records.
“Farm records" cover a multitude 0!
good and evil, depending on the care
exercised in keeping and the use
made of them. Thev vary from mere
tallies on the granary door or bags
of grain lhrcshed: of the number of
grain bags to return. of the. number of
eggs laid. and the like. to the more
clabOrate kinds of conMHc farm {’0
counts.
An inventory is a list. with values
attached. oi the real estate (farm and
buildings). live stock. machinery and
tools. feed and supplies. cash on hand,
taken at the beginning oi each year
From the sum of these items take any
,‘bilis owed to other ~peoplq such as
mortgage. notes. etc. The result will
be the pro-cent w0rth of the farm busi-
ness. Such an inventory with a little
study will tell much that we heifer
knew lwtore nbout our business. It
shows in the tirst place whether wt:

ness during the year'and with u Ilitlo‘

The objectiou to it in that we. cannot
tell very nccuraately in many cast-s
why any particular enterprise has
ruined or lost. why our corn was Dl'O‘
filable. or why our dairy excppt in
numbers shows a Kill" or loss. For
this reason We should adopt some
