There's only one life than to drive, and it saves a deal to lead on earth and it doesn't pay to get in a stew about nothing. Let the cattle chew the cud and the pigs snore when you go into the barn. It is the quiet strokes that tell. A sour-tempered man can't keep his help long, and the boys are glad to leave the farm as soon as they can get away. There's a little time now to look after the tools, and do any little mending they may need before the hurry of spring work begins. It is best to be ready to go ahead when you get at it. The stock must be well fed now, and the pigs and the hens well taken care of. Sheep and cows that are soon to come in, need extra care, and the mangolds are just what they want.
