robes having been received from their

Whatever the Indian may have been in

Wastes on the Farm.


Journal OF Agriculture
The largest wastes on the farm come from
not using our brains: the largest, because at
the top and bottom OF all other wastes. A
very little thought often saves much labor.
Who is the nan that can say II never made
a mistake by acting without thought"
Wastes on the farm come in different ways.

Then, again, a wafer pipe is put down too
near the surface, the winters frost upsets

to be done over, here is more waste. An
other very serious waste is letting the weeds
grow and their seeds be scattered by the
wind over the entire premises. St it goes.

coming from not thinking. The ordinary
wastes from neglect, from leziness, from
want of clesnliness-the waste from stock.
from the manure pile, from the household
and from innumerable other sources we omit
to mention. Verify, q little thinking will
save to the farmer much, and the saving
through this means will ofttimes represent
the interest on a no inconsiderable capital.
The farmer as we'll as the merchant or
banker must use business principles TO secure
the largest success, aud the one should be as
careful Of the outgoes as the other. Bust.
ness is business, anywhere and everywhere.

He wss an excellent specimen of the

working q great deal harder tor his living
than most OF those who call themselves the
lsboring classes-ss il none bnt those whose
bands were hardened by the use of
farming or mechanical implements

that ssgscity without which learning is
a mere iDcumbrance, and he had also a fair
share of that learning without which sagsci-
ty is like a traveller with a good horse, but
who can not read the directions on the guide
boards. He was a man not to be taken in
by names. He well knew that often
times very lnnocent-soundiDg words mean
very grave disorders; that all degrees
of disorder sre frequently COMPOUNDED under
the same term that run down. may stand
for a fatigue of mind or body from which a
week or a month of rest will completely re.

vsnced stage of q moral illness; that 'iseedy''
may signify the mornings state of feeling
after an evenings over indulgence, which
calls for q glass of sada water and a cup of
coffee, or q dangerous mslady which will
pack off the subject of it at the shortest no.
tice to the south OF France. He knew too
well that what is spoken lightly of as a "ner-
vous disturbance may imply that the whole
machinery of life is in a dangerous condi-
ton, and that every individual organ would
eron aloud if it had any other language than
the terribly inarticulste one of pain by
which to communicate with the conscious
ness.

There is . man in Florida that we never

the finest pulpit orator of the South. His
tongue dropped diamonds, aud his. Thoughts
were pearl. No congregation ever tired OF
his eloquence. BE held attention breath
less, and thousands hung upon his words.
Ii he had followed one good purpose with
uniagging zeal through all his life; If he
had kept his eye single and his heart set in
one direction; if to all his radiant gifts had
been added stable purpose and sincere con-
sistency, he might have been among the
most famous and the most useful men of all
bis time. But he followed all things, hs
sought to give God and Mamon equal service
he sought to sail on everv sea, and his mel.
ancholy shipwreck points the solemn moral
of his plan of life. The story of this man is
more eloquent of warning than the best ser.
