Most any farmer know,; Holy to
plow, plaint, cultivate and harvest,
but few seem capable of cheeping
the ravages of a great many thieves
about the farm,
In the ltllrnfnertinlO the farmers
allow the flies .and the impure water
supply to afetal a big 31e1' cent. of
their dairy profit,; then they Won-
der why dair ing doesn't, make

Weeds filch away the beauty and
neat appearance of the fal'n111au56
and retard the growth of crops ill
the field by stepping away 1.13e life-
gil-ieg components of the soil. Per-
sistence in fighting them down is all
that will subdhlh these noxious
15 -cede.
The kicky cow, 1110 breaehy cow,
the balk,}' horse, the ehicketeeating
hog, and the drew) hens are thiel ea
that many flatters keep and then
seem to expect satiafartory results
from farming, with such trouble-
some and unprofitable pest:; on the
premises. Sell the thieves and turn
their rations 'into, something that
will give you a 1u•ofit.
A poor or weak stanch of corn
steals a good part of the hula con-
sumed in tending anti gathering it,
since one must devote both time and
labor to all thin spots the' sante as
though there were a full and heavy

grading of frrst•elass seed corn is
the great initial : tep to be taken in
