IIauoiian, Jit., Stake Suit, SOME THINGS IT WON'T PAY ' The following arc somo of tho things it is not profitable for tho farmer to do: He should not try to farm without .H manure, and should not plant moro jH acres than ho van tako good caro of. , Ho should not work with old and poor H tools nor sow unclean seed. lie must not keep poor stock, as a poor cow , 'H cats as much as a good ono. He jf shouldnot buy at public sales what Is H not needed simply because it sells 1 cheap. Hogs, sheep and cattlo i jH should not bo allowed to wander jH at tnclr will over their owner's and ; .H the neighbor's premises. The barn- ' 'H yard should not drain Into tho public H road nor Into a stream, as Is often tho iH caso. Cattlo should not be allowed ifH to cat fodder from the stack; it saves jB a little labor but waste will mako iD tho farmer poor. To leavo tools of IH any kind lying out in tho weather or jH to put them away uucleaned Is a bad il practice. Cattlo must not Do turned tH out onto bare fields lu cold weather. jH An orchard should not bo planted ' M and the cattlo allowed to browse tho , trees. Vacant places should not bo : ifl left in a young orchard, nor should a f liiiH young orchard remain In grass too V M long. Of course, all farmers know i JH weeds should not be allowed to occupy , jH any portion of the farm, and bushes lH should not occupy several rods of h groung along tho fence and road. IBj It Is a thoughtless and very danger- , H ous thing for a farmer to put his name . j MM on any paper presented by a stranger. ( IH II is careless to buy trees of a perfect .11 stranger, also groceries and such itjH articles as are easily adulterated. ftH Nine times out of ten one will bo ''-f lal cheated by so doing. Buy of -iJjiB your homo merchant. (1. VT. Clark, TwH hi l'rairlo Farmer. '''I 'il |
