WHY SOME FARMERS FAIL.

They will not make comport. They breed to ami from scrubbers. They do not curry their horses. They have no shelter f<>r stock. They put off greasing the waggon. The y are wedded to old methods. They give no attention to details. They have no method or system. They sec no good in a new thing. They let their fowls roost in trees. They weigh and measure stingily. They leave their ploughs in the field. They hang their haniei-s in the dust. They take no pleasure in their worl>. They use no ]uint atiout the farm. They prop the front door with a rail. They milk the cows late in the day. They starve the calf and milk the cow. They think small things not important. They do not keep up with improvement*. They don't know the best are the cheapest. They don't read the best books and newspapers. They think the buyer of a successful neighbor's stock at good prices is a fool, and the seller very "lucky." They sell hay, grain and straw off the farm, instead of turning them into meat, cheese and butter and increasing the supply of manure.
