! time he had to buy new rakcs, because the
old ones had gone to rack and ruin. Perhaps
they had started with the loss of IL few teeth,
or the breaking of Il bow, or perhaps even the
head might have got broken, and thus, instead
of saving good handle, etc, and making the
other parts that were needed, for the want of
proper tools he was obliged to buy new rakcs
entire. So in all the departments of his bus-
ness he was constantly meeting Obstacles that
retarded his progress, and all for the want
Of II few simple tools.
One rainy day in the fall, after harvesting
was completed, Mr.. Thompson was in his
tool chamber, making some apple boxes.
when his neighbor Holmes appeared.
Thompson, said the latter, after he had
watched the movements of his ncighbor 5

have me one this winter

during some of those rainy days we had before
harvesting got my timber out when hauled

easy

and am sure you don't work so hard as | do
Your wife does not make any better butter or
cheese than mine does; your sheep don't bear
any better wool; your bees don't make any
better honey. You raise more fruit than | do
to be sure
But have no more trees said Thomson.
sNo. but then vour fruit Is of a better ouali-
ty. and finds more ready market
Certainly. because | have rroficd in tho
best species My trees were the same as
yours we're twelve years ago, and with regard
TO other matters. I think if Won will look ubou,
