Scope and content
Farm account book devised for use by agricultural schools and model farms. Includes labour accounts for each week, indicating casual labourers hired for the farm and the house. Also includes cash accounts, valuations and inventory. Heavily annotated throughout with memoranda columns used on occasion to note local births, marriages and deaths up until 1912.
Some of the labourers hired as servants show outgoings in cash to purchase boots, clothes or to give to parents.
