INSURE your life in the Washington to
the amount your farm is mortgaged for.
ONE should finish whatever is under
taken, else all the labor spent is lost. This
is a common cause of mans failure.
THE great effort of a man should be to
keep his mind by study and daily exer
else to its highest key of activity, so that
it may be effectively engaged at any mo-
ment. This is all-important TO success
in every department of life.
THE author of "Walks and Talks" says
the practice of watering horses at the
pump or pond, as they are brought from
the field, is not to be commended. A
careful farmer may do it with impunity,
because he would not allow them to
drink too much when they are hot or
tired; but many a good horse has died
from careless watering.
IT seldom pays one to leave business
to which he has devoted years of study,
and in which experience has been reaped,
to engage in a new business; because
each kind of business pays equally well
in the long run (for capital always tends
to an equilibrium in profits); and on going
into another business there are for COM
petitors many who have been in 1t
through their lifetime, and the new man
in such a case has but small chance of
success.

front of the pigs nose, and commence
walking away slowly in the direction you
wish him to propel. If his pigship
shows evidence of blighted hopes or
alteration of mind from the singular
conduct of the corn, seduce him into the
belief that it is all right" by letting him
have brief nibble at it, and then resume
your line of march.
