the ground Ito keep UPS all that 'hey
endeayor TO do; often leaving as much
Grain uncuta as they cut, aud thus losing to
their employers enough to pay the wages
of day. To reap or cradle well, is an art
that cannot be acquired without long and
laborous effort; and there are some men
who never acquire skill in the business and
who had better be kept to the fork and
rake.
1t is always well, especially for new be-
qiners. to commence moderately, and not
overdo themselves at first. II is much
better to do half days work at the COM
mencement, than to "drive on" and dellb-
crate themselves by over cxcrtion, and by
so doing engender disease andlay perhaps
the foundation of irremediable complaints
which will render them miserable and de-
crenit for life. "a word to the wise"
Even after haying and harvesting com

prime agents of nutrition upon the crop
If time be afforded, the cultivator should
be passed frequently through the corn plot
and every weed craCicated which may
have found footing among the plants. In
