Excerpt from Farm Accounts
No successful merchant attempts to conduct his business without some system of bookkeeping. It is one of the first essentials of his work, by means of which he is able to find out what part of his business is paying and what part is losing.
Every prosperous manufacturer determines, with the greatest possible care, the cost of producing the things which he manufactures.
It is just as essential that the farmer keep accounts, by means of which, he can tell the things that are profitable to raise and those enterprises he is conducting at a loss.
Farm Accounts should show two things:
(1) What the farmer is producing or dealing in.
(2) On what the farmer is gaining or losing in his business.
To keep a complete account of the various enterprises of the farm requires some time and considerable training. But the training consists more in getting the habit than in learning the method.
The purpose of this book, Farm Accounts, is to present the simplest methods of keeping accounts, and to provide school work of so practical and interesting a character, that the boys and girls in our rural schools will be able to learn those methods and also will acquire the habit of using them.
If accounts are to be kept on the farm, our schools must teach Farm Accounts to the children of to-day - the farmers of tomorrow.
