ACCOUNTING 



It is an excellent plan to keep a written record of all that 

 you buy and all that you sell. 



Begin with a simple notebook. Keep the record so that 

 it will show when, for what, and how much you have spent. 



Your accounts should show also how much you have re- 

 ceived in money, when it was received, and for what. 



It is well to keep a record of your labor in hours and also 

 to note the vegetables used at home. Write down the 

 market value in dollars and cents in both cases. In this . 

 way you can tell what the profit or loss on your garden is, 

 and you will be able to determine which vegetables are 

 most profitable for you to raise. 



Always keep your records as neatly as possible, using pen 

 and ink. When you have bought or sold anything, enter 

 it on your book at once. 



Open an account at the savings bank, and see how much 

 you can save. It will be of Uttle profit to you to earn 

 money unless you learn to keep it.
