You Can Not Get Something For Nothing, Did you ever see one of those darkies who when he went to do a hard job would play a little on one side of it and then fool a little on the ether side, doing this and that and the other, and concerned ohiefly with keeping out of the real work jaat as long as possible? It von have, yon know how much he is really worth when downright hard labor is demanded. Well, we have often seen farm.. . who seemed to us to think just like suon darkies work. Tbey would wonder and debate over and plan- for u peanut or a potato patch, but they ever did a good half-hoar's really honest, concentrated thinking about their farming aa a whole?never Considered the various lines of work in relation-to each other or to their own substantial and permanent -welfare. They farmed without plan or system with no definite goal in view and, therefore, ne certain oourse "it* any direction. Towsucoesd at farming a farmer lias got to think, honestly, earnestly, persistently and bravely. He must, when- he finds a problem that needs solving, put his mind to work on it and keep ft there nuril he has mastered it, jyt as he puts his team in- ' to a flelT and ke <pn. it there bntil' the field Is plowed.
