Little Things In Farming.

THE whole success of afarmer hinges
upon timely attention to little things.
This mainly makes the difference be-
tween thrift and poverty, and should
ever be borne in mind by the farmer
who would succeed. Remember the
old adage, .'For want of a nail shoe
was lost, for want of shoe horse was
lost, for want of horse man was

other expenditures: 1t is little thing
to keep daily memorandum of every
pecuniary transaction ON the farm, and

evenings in posting the same In a book
would enable farmers at the end of the
year to know just how they stood with
the world. Yet we doubt if there is one
man in ten who cultivates the soil ever
makes an entry in book, and for the
want OF it his account runs up fearfully
at the store, and MANY articles of lux
ury bought (and which miaht lust as
well have been dispensed with) which
such men find themselves unable to pay
for at the end of the year. Debt accu-
mulates. the farm is mortgaged, and
finally lost for want of little paper
and ink.
1t is little thing TO return a tool to
its place after Using, yet many have no
such place, nor even shelter for their
farming implements or tools, but leave
them lying about where last used-the
pillow in the field, the eruhh;ng-hoe in
the swamp, the iog-chain in the woods
-and everything scattered about here
and there, causing as much or more
loss of time in hunting them up than it
would take to DO the required job.
Many do not even house the more ex-
pensive implements on the farm, the
reapers and mowers, and we have even
seen threshing machines being left out
in the weather with no better protee-
ton than so many old plows and har-
rows The consequence is, the parts
