The Use Of A Diary For Farm Accounts

"This bulletin tells how a diary may be used for keeping certain farm records. Farmers have need of two kinds of accounts -- first, those in which are recorded items of a financial nature, such as receipts and expenditures, and second, those in which are kept records of farm work and production, such as dates of planting and of harvesting, crop yields, feed fed to live stock, etc. On the average farm, where the business is not too large, a diary is a very convenient means of keeping all these records. The farm home and the farm business are intimately associated; the one is indeed the headquarters of the other. A carefully kept diary embodies a chronicle of the affairs of both which is of permanent value, not only from a personal and sentimental standpoint, but also as a continuous record of the farm business. In the following pages several different kinds of such diaries are described with suggestions as to how various farm accounts may be kept in diary form."--Page [2].

This volume contains a guide to running a successful and profitable farm, focusing on account keeping. The management of money is one of the most important factors of farming, and this volume aims to walk the reader through what must be done and avoided to ensure fiscal success. “Farm Accounts and Farm Management” will be of considerable utility to prospective and existing farmers alike, and it not to be missed by collectors of vintage farming literature. Contents include: “Agriculture Follows Nature Study”, “Not Enough Bookkeeping on the Farm”, “The Inventory”, “Characteristics of a Good Set of Books”, “Teach Children to Make Inventories”, “Farm Records”, “Milk Records”, “Teach Girls Household Accounting”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.
