The following items of cost and
profit of a small tenant’s business for
>ne year may be of interest, not for
striking results, but as showing a fair-
’y clear farm account in three fea-
tures. Mr. Nollsch rents a part of Mr.
I.eiah F. Maxey’s 160-acre farm in San-
Z ... n county, paying $75 per year for
•lie house, barn, lots, orchard and gar-
den. < overing about five acres; $5 per
tore for 20 acres of pasture, and one-
;alf the corn raised on another 20
ici'f*s The writer understands that
he tenant also makes money by labor
outside the farm. The place Is well
»qui; ped and there is much fruit of
several kinds. The total expenses for
he year 1908 were; rent. $175; hay
bought, $70; chicken feed bought, $77;
poultry supplies and lumber, $23; to-
tal, $345.
Five cows are kept and 1,2-75
■>ounds of butter were sold at an av-
erage price of 31 % cents per pound,
naking $404.81. Three calves were
old for $27.41. Three hogs, having
Figured in another way, Mr. Nollsch
estimates that his total expense for.
the year was $824, leaving him a net,
income of $30.69, but this expenset
must include the family living.
But to examine these accounts sep-
arately, Mr. Nollsch estimates that)
the five cows at $209.95 worth of grain
and $62.30 worth of hay, a total of
$272.25, or $54.45 per cow. Deducting
this large feed bill from the money
received for butter and calves, we
have $159.97 of profit, or $32 per cow.
This is a little more than the average
income of the best one-fourth of the
dairy cows of Illinois, as figured out
by the state experiment station from
the full year’s record of 554 cows In
36 herds. But strictly speaking, a
part of this $32 should be credited to
the work of butter making, and again
the cows should be credited with the
skim milk fed to the pigs and with
the milk used by the family. In thus
considering the dairy business alone.
It should be remembered that, on the

crop side, the farmer made, in addi-
tion to the above cow returns, what-
ever profit there is in raising the high-
priced corn of last year. The 650
bushels at 70 cents would be worth
$455.
The total income from the poultry
was seen to be $304.67. The tenant’s
full estimate for their keep was $124.-
52, plus $23 for supplies and lumber,
$147.52 In all, leaving a net profit of
$193.15 from the poultry. This lum-
ber was for equipment that would last
several years and need not all be
charged to the 1908 business.
A large Item of expense allowed In
figuring the $509.69 of profit, but not
specifically referred to there, Is the
corn that three work horses ate, but
if they were used to earn consider-
able money outside of the farm, only
a part of their expense should be
charged to the farm. This account,
though not exact and complete In ev-
ery item, throws much light on the
total Income and the seperate sources
of income from this little place.
Pathos Out of Place in 8chools.
In an address at a teacher’s insti-
tute Miss Martha Sherwood said that
sad and pathetic stories should have
no place in the public schools. She
declared the pupils’ great need is hu-
morous stories and the kind , that
make children roll on the ground
with laughter. “Anything to make
them laugh, and laugh loudly,” she
said. “It makes them grow, puts
sunshine into their lives and develops
contented men and women.”
Cement Promotes Thrift.
Cement is a promoter of thrift. It
is so easy to work that the farmer and
his help can utilize their spare hours
doing a little at a time. For example,
they can start with a small feed floor
in the barnyard, then add a walk to
the barn, then to the well, then con-
tinue it to the house, then around
it, etc.
Care of Plow.
Now that the plowing is all done,
wipe off all dirt from wood and iron-
work. Give a good coating of oil to
the metal parts next spring so there
will be no delay in getting the plows
to scour.
Then the Scissors Cut In.
“You may be sharp,” said the thread
in the needle, “but 1 notice you are

“Oh, 1 don’t know,” • answered the
needle, “I notice that whenever you
get in a bole 1 have to pull you
through.”
“Hush up, you two,” cried the thim-
ble. “If it wasn’t for my push you
would neither of you get along.’*

Good Work Going Forward.
Following a whirlwind campaign
against consumption In Charleston, the
American tuberculosis exhibition of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis re-
cently opened another exhibition
movement in Greenville, S. C. After
January l the work will be continued
in Columbia, S. C., in connection with
the session of the state legislature.
Efforts will be made to secure an ap-
propriation to fight tuberculosis. An-
other exhibition of the National as-
sociation has just closed a campaign
in Colorado, and is now touring Okla-
homa. A state-wide fight will be
weged in this state. Later, this ex-
hibition will go to Arkansas.
The Mother of Invention.
An insurance man in a small town \_
was giving a dinner to. a friend par-
ticularly high up in insurance circles.
Alas! he recalled at the last moment
his friend smoked. It was too late.
Every cigar stand was closed. What
could he do? An Idea occurred to him
and he went out into the hall. There
hung his friend’s overcoat It might
contain—he wap now searching the
pockets. In a moment he brought forth
a cigar.
Nonchalantly he returned to the li-
brary. “Ah,” he said, pausing on the
threshold, “here is an unusually fine
cigar. Will you not try it? I don’t
smoke, you know.”
