An Agricultural A Greed.

According to the Canada Farmer"
the agriculturIsts of Canada met In con-
vention not long ago, and adopted for
themselves the following creed:
We believe In small farms and thor
ough cultivation.
We believe that the soil loves to eat
as well as the owner, and ought there
fore to be well manured.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things, and therefore deep plowing and
enough of it. All the better If 1t be
sup-soil plow.
We believe in large crops, which leave
land better than they found it, making
both the farm and farmer rich at once.
We believe that every farm should
own good farmer.
We believe that the fertilizer of any
soil is spirit of industry, enterprise and
intelligence; without these lime, gyp-
sum and guano, will be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good farm
houses, good orchards and good children
enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen, neat
wife, clean cupboard, a clean dairy and
clear conscience.
We believe that to ask mans advice
is not STOPPING, but of much benefit.
We believe that to keep a place for
everything and everything in its place
saves many a step, and is pretty sure to
lead to good tools and to keeping them
in order.
We believe that kindness to stock,
like good shelter, is saving of fodder.
We believe that it is good thing to
keep an eye on experiment and note all,
good and bad.
We believe that it good rule to sell
grain when it is ready.
