THE FARMERS DON'T"

Don't 60 fishing as long as the ak
aud hoe need sharpening.
Don't buy a new farm tool until you
know just how you can pay for it.
Don't 90 eff dissatisfied because you
don't get rich by farming, in year or
two.
Don't discourage your children by
constant complaints about farm bust
ness.
Don't settle down to the belief that
red clover won't grow on the farm.
Tryit
Don't be content with half a crop
when little more LABOR will bring a
full one.
Don't forget that a very few acres
in fruit will often pay all the expenses
of an average family.
Don't forget that if you waste no
time in attending to them, your crops
will grow nights and Sundays.
Don't abolish farm accounts, but
make each cultivated field pay some
thing above expenses annually.
Don't use "cuss words" with any
expectation of making them mend
broken harness.-Southern Cuitiva.

Don't believe that berries and the
larger fruits are not wholesome in the
family, but save health and obtain
pleasure cheaply by planting all that
will grow.
Don't fix the fence partly to-day,
with promise to do it better next
week. That time does not come until
dan age to be regretted has been
done.

plants, cut out all soft watery growth,
