| thought only o. my failure t.
practice economy. The fact that
mad never saved anything fi"n TIL
yearly proceeds OF the farm, no
could show any Increase In my bAni
account, was, thought, suMcien'
reason why Iwss not al "ecohopi-l.
find, however, that economy de
not consist entirely in saving
though this must enter Largely into
the we'll pract,ced principles o
true economy.
Economy means a frugal and ju
dioious use OF what has been made,
but it does not eonfne its work Il
this alone, nor to the least cost o
making, but must enter into every
detail, aid begin with the begin
ing OF our pisnnsDg, our prepara'
tion Tor, and our execution OF farn
work.
We must plan the kind Of work
the manner of work and the time
when this work must be done, and
sill this must be done previously, as
TO economic time snd have every
item on the long sad varied list
come in at its praper season, and
avoid trouble and conflict and 81
that all labor and expense shall ht
.1rotitably employed. Esch day s
weeks and years work mat ba
AID of ahead, so that confusion
and stopping to decide II this oi
that joo shall first be done, be Oh
waited.
Mapping out these plans can EN-
pioy the leisure hours OF the even
iugs or be decided in the unoccu
pied moments OF the days.
If the labor is hired by the
IN nth or year, and we must haisL
em ployment for all days alike, W,
must furnish employment tor al
days alike, we must be ready fo'
TIE rainy days and have orr indoor
Jobs, olling and mend'ng she har
ness, repairing the tools, cutting The
oats uni other 10 ider, shucking anG
selecting tie corn and other works
which can be doae as well wet At
Try days. And here let me cr!u
else the custom some have OF turn
ny loose our hired hands on these
,ai days, to either lose The tim
themselves or profit them nothing
and TO become disorgan'zsd AN,
perhaps out Of pocket for mex
mornings work.
Fac rules OF good farming hav'
,een 80 much discussed, and 81
q my good advices are given by
every theorist and practitioner, tina
lear nothing new can be added t
the Knowledge OF the Intelligent an,
Successful farmers before me.
! The using improved implemets
proper cultivation of crops, keeping
| Otst of all kinds Of stock; the prop
81 attention TO them; good barns
, IL Hces, ami gates; saving and ap
Diving manure to advantage; al
these have been treated sin9ly ant
collectively, and, an essay ON th'
sulj"ct oi "true economy on tn
farm" must necessarily take IN thes'
