Agricultural Aphorisms
Don't fnt more land than you well can work ; Don't hope to succeed if you love io shirk ; Don't think you will ever get through learning ; Don't think that saving is less than earning ; Don't starve your stock nor o'erwork your hands; Don't expect good crops if you starve your lands ; Don't use poor tools nor let good ones rust ; Don't ask your neighbours for time or trust; Don't make a debt when you know you can't ray it ; Don't make a poor rule lest none will obey it ; Don't get behind lest you work in haste; Don't let money, time, or manure waste ; Don't stint your home to help swell the : banks ; Don't fail to give for a favour thanks ; Don't spend your time at the corner store ; Don't giye a little expecting more ; Don't hope the Lord will award you pelf, Till you make an effort to help yourself ; Don't hope nor expect a happy life Till jou treat as well as your horse your wife; Don't growl, don't whine, don't cheat, don't lie, And till you have done your part — don't die. ,
