jaw hanging down and your mouth
open, ready to catch all the dust,
and make you look like a green
hawk, while if you keep it shut
you will be able to take deeper in
fations of air into your lungs, you
will greatly improve your looks, and
in cold weather especially, better
preserve your health, by breathing
entirely through your nose, thus
not suffering the cold air to come
directly into your lungs?
Why pass through the world
looking like an ignoramus. when
the means of obtaining knowledge
and of becoming intelligent are so
abundant and of so easy access,
and when intelligence Will brighten
your looks, fit you for the best So
ciety, and better prepare your for
business?
Why SOW wild oats when the seed
will always terminate (never known
to fail), and is certain to bring a
harvest of regret and sorrow2
Why not be good, when goodness
always pays heavy per cent. in
happiness?
Why raise scrub stock when
good stock yields !much better
profits?
Why suffer your fowls to become
diseased, when cleaning and
flying your hennery will insure
their health?
Why suffer rotten rails in your
fences to let pigs and even hogs in
to your grain fields, thus taking you
ten times longer to get themback,
besides the damage done, than il
would take to keep your fences
sound?
Why let elders and bushes of va
rious kinds grow along your fence
rows, thus by keeping them damp
long after rain, rotting them the
sooner, when a removal of the fence
would enable you to plow up the
old bed, which would yield you 6
splendid crop, and your farm would
look much improved?
Why not cultivate more small
fruits and berries when their plen
tiful use would greatly aid in pre-
serving the health of your family
and save doctors bills?
Why attribute sickness to some
mysterious visitation of Providence
when nearly always it is the result
of violating the laws of nature?
Why cultivate very poor land
merely because it is part of a field
when it does not half pay for thu
labor, when letting it lie in grass
would pay You better and finally
make it worth till?
Why let your buildings go with
out good coat of whitewash OIL
paint when it would not only max,
them look better, but add to theil
durability?
Why, when the felloes of your
old wagon wheels are losing paint
do you not make q long shallow
box, pour in faxseed oil, and turn
ing the felloes in it, saturate then
with the oil? 1t will prevent wate1
from penetrating and thus rottins
them, and will make them more du
rable.
Why pay high prices for plows
harrows and machinery, and ther
leave them out to the weather wher
done using them? You well know
you are losing money by doing so
Why live beyond your means IN
striving to initiate the rich? The
elephant of credit will ere long
crush you to financial death.
Why not cultivate your corr
cleaD, when all the strength of the
soil taken up by grass and weeds
is taken up from the corn?
Why injure your reputation as a
butter maker by taking inferior but
ter to market, and then be offended
because you cannot get the highest
priceP
Why let your wet ground go
undrained when no labor on the
farm will pay better than draining
it?
Why not pillow your wheat ground
early after harvest, that it may set
tie, get the sun and air, and be in
better condition for the crop?
Why not pulverize it well with
roller and harrow that the surface
may be fined for the spread of its
tiny roots, and that by their growth
and strenth they may better resist
the action of frost2 Certainly Il
you had only a pint Of seed to ex
pertinent with you would do so.
Why think you have play spell
Immediately after corn planting and
so go hunting or fishing, when the
best time to kill weeds is before
they come up? Commence har-
rowing your corn as soon as plant
ed. This will not disturb the corn
but will kill the weeds.
