Brain work, and that of the clear
est kind, comes into profitable play quit
as well on the farm as anywhere else
Look ahead, get Just view of the po
sition; have plowing, sowing, harvest
ing and selling all done at the prope
time. Never hurry, but always driv
work ahead. Know in the evenin,
what you intend to do the next day
Have your rainy-day and your clear
day occupation designed beforehand
Always bring into requisition the full
means for comprising the desired end
In short, study and understand you
business, and you will enjoy it, AM
thrive at it. Cincinnati Gazette.
