Take care of the farm implements

Take care of the farm implements
and machinery. 1t would seem that
no word or suggestion or warning is
necessary on this point, but it would
surprise the general reader if he were
travelling over the country to note the
evidences of carelessness which are so
often seen. The provident and pains
taking farmer has place for his i'm
plements, where he sees to it that they
are housed and properly cared for
when they are no louger required in
the cultivation of crops. His improv-
ident neighbor sometimes leaves his
implements where they were used last,
or about his premises without shelter.
Even his harvester or moving machine
is left in the field long after it has been
used, subjected to all kinds Of weather
and inevitable injury.
The cost for repairs is necessarily
increased under such ineXcusable neg
lect, and the period when q new ma
chine will be necessary in much short
ened. The care of tools is an impor-
tant factor in farm economy, and a
word in season, while not necessary for
the provident, may be serviceable to
such as are too remiss in this direction.

Not to love the good is a proof that
you are bad.
An ounce of encouragement is worth
a pound of fault finding.
Make your long prayers in private
and your short ones in public.
We never get more happiness than
we try to secure for other people.
The biggest coward in all the earth
is the man who is afraid to do right.
If you want your life to be a
success, never be found opposing
truth.
Abuse is one of the few things man
can get without earning or deserving

Suppose every body should stay
away from church as much as you do,
what would he the result?
There is no one so innocent as not
to be evil spoken of; there is no one so
wicked as to merit all condemnation.
He who seldom thinks Of heaven is
not likely to get there; the way to
hit a mark is to keep the eye fixed on
it.
1t is so much easier and better to
keep the harsh word unspoken than to
explain and apologize for it after is is
out.
Kind words prevent great deal Of
that perversement which rough and
imperious usage often produce In gen.
erOus minds.
