Once upon a time young man just
out of college was sent to help a carr
penter nail sheeting on the rafters Of
a new house. The carpenter noticed
that the young man left his position
frequently and descended the ladder
and hunted among the shavings under-
meath for something. Finally the car.
penter asked tho young man why he
was losing so much time and the res
ply was that he was hunting for the
nails he had dropped. Thereupon the
carpenter read the college graduate a.
lecture on economizing time. He
showed him that the cost OF a pound
OF nails was only cents and that dur
Ing an entire day he would probably
not drop one pound. Then he figured
up about how much time would be lost
in trying to pick up every nail and how
much tho young man was receiving
in wages per hour. The young fellow
was surprised to find that II was much
cheaper to lose the nails than It was
the time. How many farmers are ~
thoughtless about conserving time and
strength as was this young college
graduate? We were at a farm recent
ly where the matter OF doing the chores
consumed five times as much time and
energy as 1t should. Here was the
barn, over FOUNDER was the hog lot,
the cattle were still farther away and
some of the horses were In q lot In an
opposite direction. The feed all had
to be carried from the barn. Then
there was the matter Of watering the
stock, Just as inconvenient as carrying
the feed. Choring both morning and
evening represented covering over
quarter of mile Of territory to say
nothing Of the excess time consumed.
We all laugh at the antics OF the col.
lege young man wasting so much time
hunting for nails that he had dropped,
but there are a lot Of farmers who,
have no room to make light Of him
