The primary object Of cultivatlng
crops is to keep the soil in good con-
dition, but II 1t were not for the
weeds lots Of farmers would neglect
this important work. Sometimes our
blessings come in disguise.
Expecting the hens to turn out
many and good eggs without shells

to grind good grist without sharp
stones. Keep the mill wheels OF your

Many man who boasts that no

job If 1t had not been for the shap-

The soil is the most humanizing

passion for the soil can ever 60 very

The silo Is the sure signboard Of
prosperity. -.
Nature does not easily give up her
secrets, but when we discover them
she unerringly produces the results
we seek.
The amount digested and not the
amount eaten gives the horse strength.
Among the little things profitable
but neglected on the firm is the
Shetland pony. He grows into money
