men from the fields. and it should ne
planned where possible to get these
things done and still keep the horses
working ten hours a day.
Plan no wet-land work, they say,
when there Is work in the fields that
can be done. By wet-land work is
meant such things as cutting weeds
and brush in the fence rows, repair
ing the fences, repairing buildings and
a great many other necessary things
but things that can be done just as
well when the ground is too wet to
pillow.
Rainy-Day Work.
Leave no rainy-day work, another
rule says, to be done when it is not
raining, for profits are limited by the
amount of outdoor work that gets
done. Rainy-day work is necessary
work and If 1t is not done on rainy
days 1t will have to be done later on
fair days and will Interfere with field
work. 1t includes things that can be
done under shelter, such as shelling
seed corn, mending the harness, and
repairing tools.
lot down In a note book, the special
lists advise, the things that will need
attention the next rainy day. This
will enable you to plan your work
quickly when you get up some morn
ing and find the rain pouring down.
Do first the jobs that are in danger
Of getting In the way Of the next dry
weather work.
Put in long days in rush seasons
with the assurance that you can ease
down on rainy days or when the rush
is over. And then comes that first
rule, "Do nothing today which "a as
well be put off till tomorrow" There
are a great many things that cannot
be put off till tomorrow. If sowing
oats Is delayed until the warm, dry
days Of late spring, there will be a
light harvest. If the corn is not cul-
tivated even for one week after 1t Is
old enough to cultivate, the fields will
be weedy and the crops poor. If
dairy cows are neglected, there will
soon be no milk. This class Of tasks,
therefore, demands immediate atten-
ton. Put off the other things to more
or less remote tomorrow when the
rush work is out Of the way.
Back to Old Proverb.
Then, when the rush work Is over
revert to the proverb in its original
form, "Put off nothing until tomor-
row which can be done today" This
applies to work that may be done any
time within a wide latitude, but the
time comes when it cannot be put off
any longer and it may stop the rush
work. Seed corn, for example, may
be tested and shelled any time after
it is thoroughly cured, but if the
work is neglected until the fields are
ready to plant, then that most profit
able work in the cornfield may be de-
layed. That is a fair Illustration OF
''get-it-out-of-the-way" work.
1t takes more planning, more think
ing, and more force Of character to dc
this work, in seasons when there is nc
rush work than it does to concentrate
on rush work. Only by using his head
can the farmer handle the "get-it-out.
of-the-way" work in advance, but he
must apply the rule methodically and
unfailingly if he is to get ahead very
fast in spite of shortage of labor.

COUNTRY OF BEE KEEPERS
In Liithuania the Production of Honey
Has Become an important Ma
tional industry.

In Lithuania, when a Dee stings a
man he turns the other cheek.
And almost literally, at that. because
it is a sin to kill a bee, and no one
ever commits that sin Intentionally.
AS a result Of their natural fondness
for bees, Lithuanians, with the growth
of their economic system, have devel-
oped bee raising from a general social
custom to an important industry.
Thousands of barrels of honey are ex-
ported from Lithuania annually.
Almost everyone in Lithuania has
at least one bee hive. Sometimes they
have swarms Of thousands. But it is
common ever in the cities to have a
man serve you INDUS that is made
from the honey gathered in his garden
hive. Midus, the national drink of
Lithuania, is made from fermentsd
honey.
