Excerpt from How to Keep Farm Accounts: A Practical Book for the Practical Farmer
A great deal has been said about the need of a simple system of accounts for the Farmstead-something possible on the average farm every day of the year-one relieved of useless detail, and still show its earnings and expenses-it's owner's assets and liabilities. Taking the conditions which govern actual work on the farm into consideration, nothing specific has yet been published for the practical farmer, and it is for him this book has been written. It is elementary because many have had no opportunity to study bookkeeping, therefore the man who knows nothing about it has been kept in sight from cover to cover.
The illustration given is introduced to show the application of the fundamental principles of accounting to the every-day routine of general farming. No special sets for stock, dairy or fruit farms is thought necessary because the principles of accounts are unchangeable and only vary in their application. All the farmer, dairyman, fruit-grower or stockman really needs to fully understand the principles when no trouble will be experienced in arranging a system of accounts to suit his wants, which will vary ta certain extent on every farm and with each individual.
Bookkeeping is simply a matter of record and to do it correctly only requires that the principles of debit and credit be understood. It is necessary on many farms and useful on all. The question ought not to be, shall I keep some simple set of books, but what form is the most practical? If this book will help you, its object will have been fulfilled.
