FARMERS AS BOOK-KEEPERS.
A HANDY INVENTION,
It is a notorious fact that 'the generality of farmers observe no proper system of keeping accounts and do not really know whalt branches of their industry are returning a profit or vice versa (says thje Eltham ; Argus.) All that some of them' knowis that their bank-book shows a balance of so much on one side or the other, and according to the side on which it appears, so is the profit and loss of the farm estimated. W&at most farmers want is.some simple method of keeping accounts by which they may ascertain their position in respect to any of their operations without going into elaborate details of bookkeeping. Mr Sergei) President of the Eltham branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, has a sample sheet designed to give farnv erg a ready means of striking a balance ibetween receipts and expenditure every month in regard to all •branches of work on the farm. He intends to bring the plan under thenotice of farmers so that they may consider the advisability of adopting it. .
