And there are other things you must look up IOr yourself. DON'T DO IT, MR. FARMER. Don't do it, Mr. Farmer don't do it. What we mean is, Don't try to go through this year planting scrub seed or raising scrub poul try.. ' : The time is short, there is little time to lose, but if you have an ambition for better things, .you can certainly order even now a bushel of im proved corn, a few bushels of improved cotton &ed, or a setting of thoroughbred eggs. The time is short, we say, but.; it is not yet too late. Seize the fleeting chance and do it now. And there is nothing that will pay you better. You can't make money cutting wheat with a sickle or plowing; with a wooden plough; neither can you succeed with seed and stock that have h ad no improvement since your grandfather's day. The same labor and the same foresight and the same expense spent upon improved seed and improved stock will give you from 15 to 75 per cent greater returns than from scrub seed and scrub stock.
