To see men, in the midst of harvest, quit 

 their work early on a Satmxlay, when the week's

 they should consider the exigencies that might 

 arise to crops that are cut from threatening

 labour that can be employed on a farm, is 

 that which may be expected, but in value is 

 never realized, at the hands of boys. They 

 cannot be trusted, if there is more than one, 

 with horses, cows, pigs, or poultry ; nor with 

 anything like an economical care of corn or 



food of any • kind.
