regularly, without regard to the wealth
err. But what is the use Of stopping
of good hay day TO chun, when you
can do it on a rainy day, when you
could not do much else!
In packing butter, do it as you are
a mind to; have no regard for general
rules in this matter. Follow these di-
rections, and if YOU fail of getting sat
isfactory prices, don't ever think there
is any fault in the manufacture of the
article, or the style of putting up, but
it is all notion of the buyer. 1t is
strange what peculiar tastes some peo-
pie have, when they can detect several
cents difference per pound in different
packages of butter, but there is no ac-
counting for it.
In tilling your land do it extensive
ly. If you fail of raising good crops
don't let it be said that you did not
pillow enough. BE economical; make
little manure go great ways. In
fact, spread yourself out in farming
although you spread thin. There is
nothing like making the most of your
self and informing people of your i'm
portance.
If you cultivate large fields you will
naturally be behind your neighbors,
perhaps, in beginning haying. But
what's the odds? You will get more
hay by cutting late, and that is what
you want. Hay is hay, cut late or
early, and it is wonderful how it will
fill up the barns and well-tilled barns
makes the farmer happy. Stock win
tered on such hay seldom fail to come
out in the spring in running order.
One thing / should have spoken of
before, and that is the care of farming
implements. We hear much about
taking care of things, of having 4
place for everything, and everything
in its place. Now what better place
to have a pillow than where you want
to use it, and what better place to look
for anything than where you left
it; and isn't the place for a pillow
in the field, and other things the same
way? What is the use of building
sheds for such things? They are ex-
pensive, besides taking Il considerable
time to put everything in Il particular
place. 1t is handy to have the pillow,
harrow, moving machines, wagons and
sleds out, already to hitch on TO, with
out the trouble Of getting out and put
ting together. It is poosible that tools
kept in this way may not last quite as
long, But when they fail all you have
to do is to get them repaired or pur.
chase new.
Set out an orchard if you have moi
one already. Believe all tree vendors
tell you. OF course they know wha
is for their interest, fthey don't yours
and are supposed to be men Of truth
When you get your trees set then
most anywhere in the grass land, thel
consider your obligation to the tree
cancelled and look for fruit, bu
don't be disappointed or discouraged
if you have to look some time. You
trees may need pruning. If so, don
be fussing with them all the while, bu

you will have something you can ex
ercise your skill and muscle on, and
