worse off than they are, because they
keep no accounts, and yet, paradoxical
as it may seem, the man who keeps
strict accounts, although sensible OF
what he is making, generally goes on to
make more, while the man who through
failure to keep any accounts, imagines
himself worse off than he is, often goes
from bad to worse, until he really al
most comes to realize his grayest fore
bodings Montreal Witness.
The value of many varieties, or, in
fact of all squashes that are calculated
for winter use, depends very much upon
their being thoroughly ripened. The
squash is very susceptible to cold, and a
slight frost will considerably injure some
varieties. 1t is, therefore, safe to gath}
them before there is any serious DANCE
and place them in some sunny pladE
where they can fully ripen and cure OF
and where they can be covered up d
easily removed in case of danger of s.
we're cold. A slight chill viii hasten thI
decay of squashes. San FrGnciSd
