as soon as the grass is off. May is the
month in which tillage of the surface by
the harrow and cultivator tells more to
the advantage of the soil and crops than
at any other. Weed seeds start quickly.
and crop after crop may be killed, while
the moisture of the soil and the action of
fermenting manures and the heat of the
sun all contribute to those changes in
the soil which augment the supply of
plant food, and all these are greatly aid
ed by stirring, mellowing and comminut-
ing of the surface of the ground.-Amer-

WASTE THROUGH EXCESSIVE
WORK..

A great many farmers abuse themselves
by excessive labor-too many hours and
close application to field tasks when there
are unfavorable conditions of weather.
Good health is dependent upon good care
of the physical powers. So. when Il man
that endanger health. he incurs risks that
may result in great loss for which there
can be no recovery. There are times, il
j. true. when all resources must be en-
beyond reasonable hours: but these
should be followed always by seasons of
rest prolonged until full recuperation is
had. While health is one of the chiefest
blessings. it is hardly less important that
mental powers should be kept in full Wig
or, inasmuch as they are needed to direct
physical force. The farmer who works
without thinking is not much more likely
to make profit from his labor than anoth-
er who thinks without working. So il is
necessary that physical and mental forces
be wisely conserved, in order that labor
may be endured without waste, and that
it may lead to full rewards. Excessive
labor in any employment dulls the fac
ultes of mind to such an extent often
that the labOrer becomes untitled for any
thing except manual employment; and
for this he is worth not so much as his
fellow who employs mind wisely to di-
rect physical forces and to show when
the proper limit of endurance is reached.
/ Farmers, more than other men, are apt
to waste strength through excuses of la
Dor, forgetting that they invite severe
penalties sure to come, sooner or later, if
the hurtful practice is continued.-HtS-
bdndmdn.
