WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING.
BY LIORACE GREELEY
xxxv.
ACCOUNTS IN FARMING
Farmers, it is urged, sometimes fail;
and this is unfortunately true of thorn,
as of all others. Some fail in integrity;
others in sobriety; many in capacity;
most in diligence; but not a few in
method or system. Quite a number fail
because they undertake too much at
the outset : that is, they run into debt
for more land than they have capital
to stock or means to fertilize, and are
forced into bankruptcy by the interest
ever-accruing upon land which they
are unable to cultivate. If they should
get ahead a little by active exertion
throughout the day, the interest would
overtake and pass them during the en
suing night.
Few of tho unsuccessful realize the
extent to which their ill-fortune is fair
ly attributable to their own waste of
timo. Men not naturally lazy squand
er hours weekly in the village or at the
railroad station, without a suspicion
that they aro thus destroying their
chances of success in life. To-day is
given up to a monkey-show; half of
to-morrow is lost in attendance on an
auction; part of next day is spent at a
caucus or a jury trial; and so on until
one-third of the year is virtually vast.
ed.
Now, the men who have achieved
eminent success, within my observa
tion, have all been rigid economists of
time. They managed to transact their
business at the county-seat while serv
ing there as grand or petit jurors, or
detained under subpoena as witnesses;
they never attended an auction unless
they really needed something which
was there to be sold, and then they
began their day's work earlier and
ended it later in order to redeem the
time which they borrowed for the sale.
I do not belie've that any American
farmer who could count up three hun
dred full days' work in every year be
tween his twenty-first and his thir
ljeth.over yet failed, except as a result
of speculation, or endorsing, or inordi
nate running into debt.
I would, therefore, urge every farm
er to keep a rigid account current of
the disposal of his time, so as to be able
to see at the year's end exactly bow
many days thereof he had given to
productive labor; how many to such
abiding improvements as fencing and
draining; and how many to objects
which neither increased his crop nor
improved his farm. I am sure many
would be amazed at the extent of this
last category.
If every youth who expects to live
by farming would buy a cheap pocket
book wallet which contains a diary
wherein a page is allotted to each day
of the year, and would, at the close of
the day, or at least while its incidents
were still fresh in his mind, set down
under its proper head whatever inci•
dente were most noteworthy—as, for
instance, a soaking rain; a light or
heavy shower; a slight or killing frost;
a fall of snow; a hurricane; a hail
storm; a gale; a hot or notably cold
temperature ; the turning out of cattle
to pasture or sheltering them against
the severity of Winter; also the plant
ing or sowing of each crop or field,and
whether harm was done to it by frost
in its infancy or when it approached
maturity—ho would thus provide him
self with annual volumes of fact which
wonld prove instructive and valuable
throughout his maturer years.
The good farmer will of course keep
accounts with such of his neighbors as
he sees fit to deal with; and be ought
to charge a lent or credit a borroived
plow, borrow, reaper, log-chain, or oth
er implement, precisely as though it
were meal or meat of an equal value.
I judge that harrowed implements, if
regularly charged at cost, and credited
at actual value when returned, would
generally come home sooner and in
better condition.
But the farmer, like every ono else,
should be most careful to keep debt
and credit with himself and his farm.
If a dollar is spent or lent, his books
should show it; and let items and sum
total stare him in the face when he'
strikes a balance at the close of the
year. If there has been no leakage
either of dimes or of hours, ho will sel
dom be poorer on the 31st of December
than ho was on the Ist of the preced
ing January.
Most farmers fail to koep accounts
with their several fields and crops; yet
what could be more instructive than
these? Here are ten acres of Corn,
with a yield of 20 to 40 bushels per
acre a like area and like yield of
Oats, a smaller or larger of Rye, Buck
wheat, and Beans, as the case may be.
If the produce is sold, most farmers
know how much it brings; but how
many know how it cost? Say the
Corn brings 75 cents per bushel, and
the Oats 50 cents; was either or both
produced at a profit? If so, at what
profit? Here is a. farmer who has grown
from 1000 to 300 bushels of corn per
annum for the last 20 years; ought he
not to know by this time what Corn
costs him in the average, and whether
it could or could not with profit give
place to somthing else? Most farmers
grow some crops at a profit, others at
aloes; ought they not to know, after
an experience of five to ten years,what
crops have put money into their pock
ets, and what have made them poorer
for the {rowing?
Of course, there is complication and
some degree of uncertainty in all such
account—keeping; for every one is
aware that some crops take more from
the soil than others, and so leave it in
a worse condition for those that are to
follow, and that some exact large re
enforcements of fertilizers, whereof a
part only is fairly chargeable to the
first ensuing product, while a largo
share inures to the subsequent harv
ests. Each must judge for himself
how much is to be credited for such
improvement, and how much charged
against other crop for deterioration.—
He, for example, whose meadows will
cut from two to three tons per acre of
good English Hay may generally sell
that Hay for twice if not thrice the
immediate cost of its production, and
so seem to be realizing a large profit;
but, if ho gives nothing to the soil in
return for the heavy draft thus made
upon it, his crop will dwindle year by
year, until it will hardly pay for cut
ting; and the diminution in value of
his meadows will nearly or quite bal
ance the seeming profit accruing from
his Hay. But account-keeping in
every business involves essentially
identical calculations, and the merch
ant who this year makes no net profit
on his goods, but doubles the number
of his customers and the extent of his
trade, has thriven precisely as has the
farmer whose profit on his crops has all
been invested in drains permeating his
bogs, and in Limo, Plaster, and other
fertilizers, applied to and permanently
enriching his dryer fields.
"To make each day a critic on the
last" was the aspiration of a wise man,
if not a great poet. So the farmer who
will keep careful and candid accounts
with himself, annually correcting his
estimates by the light of experience,
will soon learn what crops ho may
reasonably expect to grow at a profit,
and•to reject such as aro likely to in
volve him in loss; and ho who, having
done this, shall blend common sense
with industry, will have no reason to
complain thereafter that there is no
profit in farming.
