greatest mistakes the farmers.

their grain in the shock too long.
This is often done to save stack

are often heavy storms, as has
been the case this season, and
the grain becomes injured. TG

Save.

Save something, no matter
how little it may be, always
save something. Never turn
away your head from small saw
ings; they are the foundation
of all great ones. A penny is
not much. Many a man would
rather throw away a penny
than pick it up, if it lay before
him. Yet a penny day is
nearly eight dollars a year,
eight dollars is the interest of
between one and two hundred
dollars capital. aWaSte not,
want not" is an old saying;
and he who is extravagant
enough to cast idly away what
can be made useful, though it
be but a trifle, may expect to
see the day when even that
trifie would be acceptable.

OF the Bible by inserting in
Macklin's folio edition above a
thousand original drawings
and photographs, and nearly
ten thousand engravings, with
three hundred and sixty speci

was sixty-three handsomely
