REVIEW CT TIE pASr.
Now Years is tho traditional timo for
making now resolutions It is a con-
Vonlent timo to "turn over new leaf"
as 1t is commonly expressed. In o1der
TO determine wisely and clearly his plans
and purposes for tho year just entered,
each farmer should look back on the
past year and compare tho results of his
tWelVc months lahors with the plans,
purposes and expectations with which he
began operations last january. He is an
unwlso general who plans and inaugu-
rates now campaign without reference
10 tno conditions, methods and move
ments or previous campaigns which
brought victory and success, or led to
disaster and failure. Experience is said
to be 'dear school," but it is O ycry
valuable school. Patrick Henry said. in
reference to tho ponding troubles Of col
ONES with the British Government, that
he had but ono lamp Ivy which his feet
were 8uldcd-'jho lamp OF experience" ,"
