everyday bol only in us to direct our work to the best abc vantage but in giving us iho ability to keep account of everything and know whether a certain practice pays us or not A luau said to mo you aro the best hand at I 1 ever sawia I 1 had told him would bo over six loads of hay to gel up but not quite seven ho made alio llio remark when we were going to alio barn willi the seventh load not quite f ill now there was no guc is work about it I 1 knew alic width ut the cut from tho number of swaths each ono of which was si feet I 1 know liow wide thu rako was and how many wo could put on a load so after raking down through the piece a mental arithmetic told how many loads there would be one can lall how much i man ought to plow cultivate or harrow in a da I 1 remember bucu that I 1 went away day leaving a new hind to harrow a piece of land for wheat at night I 1 found ho had got over only six acrea with a harrow si feet wide aiu insisted that ho had done all ho could hut after ho had seen tho figures on a board and found ho had traveled less than one ruila an hour ho was quite ashamed and said ita no use trying to fool you on a days work and he never tried it again you have a big compost heap which you wish to put on twelve acre acres s of ground you w alk around alio heap it it is a round ono 3 feel nt a step it is fit paces around it you look at it and that if it was leveled down to where suii walked it would araga about feet high therefore say r yards tho multiplied by 1 half tho radius will give the number of cubic yards in alio llio pile you know that your lua spreader will hold just about 1 cubic yard at a load so 3 set it to spread 20 load per and come out all right no guess work about it some years ago 1 and a heavy piece of corn to cut A faithful man was act at iho job and ho only madu about of an aero a day I 1 compared tho grain he had to handle with what lie would have to do on an average piece and was that he was doing well ono one of those blowing men caino alon why said he adam isn t doin anything I 1 cau go in tharo and cut an acre a daymut as easy as fitlin sit lin on i fence very well said I 1 como tomorrow to morrow anil cut an acre 1 will pay you and can have alic fun of showing adam how he knows about cutting corn ho camo before I 1 was un and U noon beginning to realize that lie had something to dia ho navor stopped for his hours but took a bite ind ran but it was three alio second day before lio haj liia aero cut ahrn lie was laughed at about it lie used to sav tho catle i boy was too much for nib suppose you ar a dalry ilian and
