IT is better to wear out than to rust out, you know, and it is well to bear this in mind now that the work begins to press. Ilard work doesn't kill men very often, but a lazy lout might as well die as not, so far as any loss to the world goes. Activity, mental and physical, is the great source of happiness and usefulness to the world. Some lands are dry enough to plough now, but if the soil doesn't crumble it is of no use. To plough wet or stiff lands is apt to do more harm than good. The plough ought to leave a mealy furrow, so as to make a good seed bed. Clover seed ought to be sown now at the rate of fifteen pounds to the acre. It is a good thing to have, and it helps the land, and so is one of We must not forget the kitchen the very best crops we can grow. of all the roots and herbs which garden near the door, and full come so handy in the house. Dig it deep and keep out the weeds. A fine garden is the of the farm. gem The more pride we take in it the better. If you set two hens the same day the broods can often be put into one, and so save time and labor. Isn't a hen's time worth something? Little pains bring great gains, you know.

Better stick to what you can do well. It is of no use to spread time and labor and manure too thin. Concentration is wiser than expansion, just as union is strength. It is the quality of work that tells in the end, just as brain work tells better than muscle. What is the use of a brain if we're not to use it?

Some folks try to do more by hand than there is any need of, and let the weeds get ahead of them. The true way is to nip them in the bud. A stitch in time, you know, saves nine. June grass comes into bloom this month, and it must be cut early to be good for anything. It is not too late to plant corn, and the squash, the melon, and other It is a seeds may go in now. good plan to plant sweet corn for the table once a week or so, and have it for use some weeks. Green corn, fresh from the field, is sweet and toothsome. Sow corn in drills to cut up for the COWS. The last of the month is the time to sow the seeds of the Swede as a field crop. It can follow a lot of oats, cut for hay, but you ought to give it a little start with some fertilizer. Sow Hungarian grass from the middle to the end of the month. It is a right good crop to have, either to cut and feed out green, or to cure for hay, and it doesn't cost a great deal to raise it. The year is half gone, make the most of what is left. |
