earnings. They are like cats and mice,
or other vermin in your granary. They
consume your hard earnings invisibly,

and weigh its necessity. Thought costs
nothing, and hence il is not expensive to
think, and thinking to advantage saves

CUTE ADVICE. .re
"Instead, as is generally the case, of
selling the best fillies, the best male colts,
! the best bull calves, or the best heiters,
keep the best to breed from and sell the
poorest. If the stock-grower wishes to
make the most money, he will accom-
plish his end in this way. If he fails to
do this, he'will find in few years that
| instead of having good stock all the
while to sell, he will fall back on very
poor grade ofstock, or at best he will
have the poorest of its kind. The first
great principle, then, is to look at every
field, animal and tree upon your farm,
and see to it that they earn their living
by increase. Crowd on to every single
thing all your energies to make them
work to advantage for you, and never
take business step that does not point
i'm this direction. The great principle,
in raising or growing, il to select such
grains, fruits, or animals, as will produce
the greatest value with the least expen-
diture OF labor.n
The ensuing, however, are just and
timely as
