COMPLETING PLANS.
The trouble with farmers is that they do not plan wisely, and when they have laid out their work for a week, they go through with it according to programme, no matter what changes there are in the conditions. This neighbour of mine devoted a week to hauling manure when the land was in the best condition to plough. He could have done this more easily a week or two later, when the land was too dry to plough ; but when he began hauling manure there were five or six weeks before he would want to sow, and he thought there would be time enough for ploughing ; and so, after ploughing half the field, he went to top-dressing it, and now the other half of the field is unploughed. — Rural New Yorker.
