CONSERVATION OF LABOR.
Thinking and Planning Now to Do
Things With the Least Labor
is Not Laziness.

There is much in heredity. The
leopard will be spotted, the bear
black, and the sheep white, because
they are born that way. \ man will
be tall, or short, or dark, or light or
conscientious, or constituencies, or
energetic or lazy, as result of
hcredity, and that much he can not
help. But in mental and moral CON
stitution, and to some extent in ply
steal form, one may overcome heredi-
~ to large extent And even where
but little impression can be made on
natures handicap, it may be counter
acted, and the result be the same as
if the hereditary obstacle had never
existed. One of the best farmers we
have known was the champion lazy
man Of the neighborhood. His body
loved case, but his mind was active
and energetic. His neighbors were
solicitious lest his family starve, and
much sympathy was laYished upon
the wife and four children. But when
they found that his crops were better
and more varied aud his horses, cattle
and sheep and hogs fatter than any
Others in the neighborhood, they said
unto each other: GLOW is this thus"
The true explanation appeared after
awhile, when it was found that our
neighbor, Andrews, lay awake at
night, thinking and planning and
scheming, how he might do a large
