There is nothing SO bad in a
pocket as hole, and the same obser-
walton may be made of bag. A tear
may be sewed up and be as good as
ever, but a bag that has had years
use and has holes worn in it will very
quickly waste grain enough to pay for
a new one. 1t was the remark of a
careful farmer that the only thing on
his farm he was on principle opposed
to lending was bags. He always knew
those he had in use were whole, but
could never be sure of this after they
had been borrowed by neighbor.
