Useless Waste.

IL is not so much what VIC receive az it is
what we save that gives us a firm financial
footing. There is perhaps nc class of peo-
pie on earth that practices so poor econ.
omy as we Americans. VIZ are hurry
and bluster, ever intent on making money,
but giving all too little heed to saving what
we have. We toll from morning till night
to earn o dollar or two, when in many
cases an hours time properly occupied
would have saved us five times the
amount.
During the intolsrably hot weather Of the
present season many 0 farmer will work
from early morn till late at night, to culti-
vate his farm crops, and what will be the
result? With a few the task will be faith
fully carried out, but there is a much larger
class of men with whom it will be different.
The hay will be so poorly cured and stack
ed that winter will find much of it entirely
worthless. Much wheat will be Tor has
beenl neglected and allowed to grow in the
bundle.
Many tons of hay will be left standing
In the fence corners, for the one reason that
1t is often not cut at the right time, A
goodly number of our farmers leave the
fence-corners, patches around stumps and
other obstacles, which so often stand in the
way Of mowing-machines, thinking they
will cut it after a while, but this after q
while time never arrives.
And then there are the apples already
beginning to fall from the trees. Of course
we would advise no one to take them into
the cellar, but cider presses will grind them
and the juice makes first-rate vinegar.
In small orchards the value Of the product
might not compensate for the time, but If
large oues the loss is considerable.
