his seeming rudeness in declining to

II mean no uisrespect, john" an
swersd Mr.. Lincoln. "but / promised
my precious mother only a few days
before she died that l would never

"There is great difference between
a child surrounded by a rough class o.
drinkers, and man in home of re-

we never have to send away for a

We quote again from Director Red

tainly not sound policy to expend 50
per acre in preparing, planting. cult,
vating and harvesting crop of eight
or ten bushels Of corn. The true pol
ICY is to concentrate labor, fertiliz RS
and skill, on smaller areas of better
soil. for such crops as require the more
expensive cultivatiom, aud devote {
larger area to small grain (especiail,
