time wasted than in the Fall and Winter
months, when time is absolutely thrown
| away. It has long been the custom Of many
people to spend whole days idling about the
small towns, hearing the news generally,
and wasting much of their hard earnings for
the qualification of imaginary wants.
Market days should be like oil other busi- \
ness days-go as quickly rs you can, sell 7
what you have to sell, buy what you must
have, and then, like an energetic, true man,
return home immediately and go to work at
something else. In other words, keep busy
all the time. The busy farmer is the sue
cessful farmer.
Although times may be hard and money
scarce, the busy farmer can manage to keep
himself clear of debt and in easy circum-
stances.
The old adage "there is more in managing
than making" is true one, and il is equally
true that the managing man is making man.
Energy sharpens the intellect and promotes Z
success.
But it is the wamton waste of time that Is :
foremost in our present article. OF course
the farmer cannot always estimate in money,
the value Of his time spent in the various il,-
significant jobs to be done about n farm;
yet he ought to know that his work amounts
to something, let it be ever so small, and
that something made is better than nothing.
In fact, no right thinking man win deny
that much Of the success of every profess
sion depends upon perseverance in doing
not only that in which there is direct
money reward, but also many things in
which there is no visible pecuniary return. 4
Hence the necessity Of our people becoming
moro saving of time, and in training the mind
not to be satisfied while the hands are idle.
Instead of hunting and going to town ON

An energetic man Of this county during
last Winter aided by his two boys, cut a large
amount Of wood, and sold 1t to neighbo.ina
factory, realizing between $500 and $500 in
money, without any actual cash outlay.
Would that everybody would 90 utilize
their winter months, for. although they
might not realize one-tenth OF the actual
money as the man who cut the w,,J, sill
some actual income would be derived, and &
better still, habits Of industry, thrift and
enterprise would rapidly grow among the
farming classes.
Habits OF thrift, more than anythiag else,
are what wc Southern Farmers need. andi>s.
