what i Don't know of Farming.
AFTER HORACE GREELEY.


In selling stock by live weight it is
good plan to feed each one about three
pals Of water aud what other stuff can
be got down EN- just before driving on
the scales II the buyer has ever invest
ed much money on Change he will know
what .'watered stock means
In holding the plow always prefer to
hold it In the house, seated in rocklng~
chair, with my family clustered around
me.
In planting hay I always plant the
longest | can fnd as short hay bends
persons back too much in cutting it.
In the matter Of wheat, [ always raise
it by the barrel, at mill not far away,
as it saves buying seed, plowing, sowing,
grading and thrcshirg. | generally raise
it on a note
In travelling through the country, I
have often noticed that farmers do not
sufficiently regard the health of their
animals. My barn is arranged on a plan
of my owa. 1t is open On all sides, SO
that no creature may have to stand cut
in storm because | am asleep or away.
! This also saves lanibcr. \ Il around the
bafu are benehes GA which any animal
can SIT down when tired of standing on
when waiting for something or other to
! turn up. Tie Sheriff says my cattle
always sell when ny neighbo"s don't,
and he thinks it IS all owning to my econ
| umy, and do not doubt it.
! Io subsoiling Il piece Of ground I
always plant mortgage on it the
/ Winter previous. Ii raises the biggest
! kind of crop, especially when you let
the interest 50 behind. l hardly ever
knew such a sowing that didn't turn out
full as well as the holder expected, and
very often it turns ont the man who gives
it.
Ia raising hogs. think thai many far
mcrs are altogether 200 slack for their
interests. Now S0PIasc that | so at il
in Il carful. scientific way. good many
/ farmers raise their haas with the first
club that ce.atcs handy, but this has a
tendency to make the auitaal discouraged
