THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED,

Horses should never be put 10 work on
a full stomach. More horses are hur bv
hard driving after full feed, than by full
feed after hard driving.
If the farmer wishes 10 have his pork
barrel and meal chest hold out let him
look well TO his kitchen garden. Plenty
OF vegetables conduce not more 10 health
thanto profit.
AS you treat your land, SO i, will treat
you. Feed it with manures literally, and
it will yield you bread bountifulv.
Avoid debts as you would the leprosv.
If you are ever tempted TO purchase on
credit, put it of for three days. You need
time Tor reflection.
Never beg fruit. or anything you can
produce by the expenditure Of little time
or labor. Il is as reasonable 10 expect
man 10 give away The produce of his wheat
field as of his orchard or fruit garden.
II you keep your sheep and cattle in
your meadows unit June don't complaio
next winter because you are compelled to
pGEchase, hay for your stock.
