It is a pity that every farmer is not pro¬ 
vided with scales. Without them, he does not 
know what gain the feeding animals are mak¬ 
ing, or the value of the rations they are con¬ 
suming, hence he does notknow whether feed¬ 
ing is profitable or not. Without them he can 
not keep correct farm accounts, as fully half 
the items will be mere guess-work. 
Ta k e the corn crop fo r instance. When corn 
is gathered, the ears are fed directly to stock 
or cribbed to bo fed. The fodder is cut and 
hauled in to be fed as forage. The man with¬ 
out scales does not know how many bushels of 
corn or pounds of fodder the field produced, 
cr what the proceeds are. Ho may know the 
cost of production, but he cannot know 
whether the balance is loss or profit. The 
man with scales, knows whether he gained or 
lost by the crop, and just how much. 
Hay is hauled to the mow or stack, and the 
scaleless man guesses how many tons there are 
upon tho field. He may know the cost of pro¬ 
duction, but he does not know tho quantity 
produced, and can not know whether the hay 
has been a profitable or unprofitable crop. The 
man with scales weighs each load as it is 
brought in, and knowing the cost, knows 
whether profit or loss resulted from its pro¬ 
duction. What is true of these crops, is equally 
true of all others. 
1 ho man who foods corn and hay, which he 
has weighed, to animals which ho weighs be¬ 
fore and after feeding, knows just what he 
has fed and what he has to show for it. He 
doesn’t guess—he knows. 
The man who uses scales knows what he is 
doing every time; the man who does not, 
guesses. 
We complain that the profits of farming 
lutvo become very small. The truth of the 
matter is, that circumstances have put farm¬ 
ing upon a basis of business principles, and the 
fanner who is a business man, makes money; 
the one who is not, makes none. The farmer 
without scales is hurdly a businessman. To 
obtain the highest profits from his business 
the farmer must use his brains more than be 
did SO years ago, Land is higher, and compe¬ 
tition is sharper. The best farmer ought to 
know just what each erop, each field, and each 
animal has put in or taken out of his pocket. 
Tf ho knows this, he can know what crops aro 
most profitable upon his farm, what crop is 
most profitable upon each particular field, and 
what class, breed and ago of animals are most 
profitable; and this knowledge can bo obtained 
by using scales. 
Scales would often save the farmers from 
being cheated by dishonest buyers. Buyers 
ure as honest ns the rest of humanity, but 
there are scamps among them; ami it is to 
such men he is most apt to sell, for they wilj 
give a good price and more than make up

farmer protects himself against such, by 
weighing every thiug he has to sell. Scales are 
cheap. Huy good ones, and take good care of 
them. If you can not buy alone, get your 
nearest neighbor to go into partnership with 
you iu the purchase. I am sure you will find 
it a good investment. Iu short, weigh your 
farming in the buluuco, and if it is found 
wanting, see that you correct your errors; 
weighing will reveal them.
