naturally under Improvement account. At the 

 end of the year this account will usually show 

 that more has been paid out than has been 

 received, unless there is timber, stone or cord 

 wood to sell. But suppose it is so. After the 

 accounts are closed and gain and loss determined, 

 it will not be difficult for the proprietor to inspect 

 the gain and loss statement, and, being conver- 

 sant with all the facts, he will be able to determine 

 approximately the true amount of gain or loss.
