How to Get Work Done on Farm.

Every farmer is at times oppressed with
a sense of the overwhelming number Of
things that requires to be done We have
seen a nervous man in such circumstances
commence one job, and before he had got
fairly started abandon it for something
that seemed more pressing, merely to
leave this in the same unfinished state !;
and when night came he had accomplish
ed little or nothing, and passed hours tos
sing about on sleepleSs bed thinking
what he should do on the morrow. A
young farmer could not adopt better
rule than to repeat himself every morn
ing, "Whatsoever thy hand fndeth to do,
do it with thy might" aud act upon it
When a job is commenced, finish it before
be ginning another but at the same time
attend to the little things But il you
happen to get behind, strike lively gait.
do one thing at time, and when it is
done, take a little rest by Immediately
commencing another, and in this way YOU
will pull through in good time.
