| Show counsel from the first presidency GLEANING AND SAVING the continued drouth the failure of the streams the destruction by insects and hy by cattle allowed to run at random or miserably herded will compel the strenuous efforts of all to secure sustenance for the present and coming incoming in population until a harvest in 1857 to accomplish so desirable a result and prevent unnecessary privation and bum suf fiering suffering we ave have heretofore counseled and now repeat it that both the owners of fields and garden gardea and aud those who have none should be extremely careful that not noti a daf dar particle of food be lost wasted or made en n use of when am small all ail grain is cut and the owners have seasonably secured that portion they inte intend nd to 7 let them permit the destitute to go 0 in and glean either elther without charge or at a reasonable rate as may be agreed upon lian ilan hundreds I 1 can in this way secure their breadstuff bread stuff from grain that will otherwise be lost and the same course pursued with V corn po tatos beets turnips and every other description of produce will make a material difference in in the amount that will be saved but much of all the industry and skill in our I 1 power will be expended for naught nauL lit iii unless I 1 stock owner owners stake take great pains that thit th A their animals 1 do not trespass ss unfortunately this is not and has not been the case and animals are feeding more or less upon the growing grower wheat and corn and that too often by cattles catties catt leis break ing z through good fences or by the fences bein being thrown down by those having C herds in charge i S ach conduct is so obviously improvident and outrageously wrong mat that everyone every one will admit it should forthwith be but all are not I 1 careful to look after their stock nor to see I 1 that those do who have them in ID charge for this reason all ail 11 officers are called upon to assist tha tho field owners in securing their crops against de destruction st ruction by animals ani mals mais and to use sich alch sich necessarily stringent measures as the circumstances may lawfully require while the

be easily avol avoided demi deAl if those thos who have will at once sell or otherwise dispo dispose se of their surplus to those who lack and thus also aiso avoid the ex expense pense care and loss consequent upon storage and feed laborers for makin making useful improvements and let not I 1 the poor waste their time in hiwing hiding bizz bicz ling about abo ut prices for labor but but all go to with their might to produce and save sustenance for themselves and families some may be fearful that their forethought and wise wiss obedience to co insel ansel will be thwarted by the improvidence gluttony and waste of I 1 those whom they may befriend which doubtless 1 would be the case in many instances were they left entirely to their own guidance y obviate the misuse of the earthly bom bourl leg les ites so kindly bestowed upon us the bisha in each ward are required to see that having a surplus make a wise disposition thereof and that the poor are not improvident in using it ft for people are arc not ond fond of practising practicing a industry I 1 and self denial and then seeing the fruits 0 of f their eco economy noray extravagantly squandered if the bishops learn that any of the poor in ili til their air wards are improvident in the use of provisions let them lake charge of their provis proviso ions and deal them boutas out as necee necessity necessity sity anda and a fair
