THE „„ 



GARDEN YARD ^ 



should not be repeated. It is of such great 

 importance, that the average farmer would 

 make no mistake if he had it made into a motto 

 printed in large and striking type, and hung 

 it where he could see it a dozen times a day. 

 It is part of the " How to Work," and a mighty 

 big part, as you will learn, whether you practice 

 it or neglect it. 



Use your brains; that's what they are for. 

 After you get your farm started, you can get 

 cheap and unintelligent labor, to keep it going, 

 if you wish; but you can only reap a profit from 

 intelligent labor, and you must furnish the in- 

 telligence yourself. Plan your work, and make 

 the most of your soil, your climate and your 

 market. Things that everybody grows bring 

 low prices, but things that you alone grow, or 

 that you grow better than your neighbors, bring 

 good returns all the year round. 



We have to learn, you know, and if we won't 

 learn by doing right and profiting by it, then we 

 shall have to learn by doing wrong and suffering 

 for it — " the way of transgressors is hard." 



If you have very little time or very little land, 

 you will probably get the best return for your 

 time and money by growing radishes early in 

 the season with lettuce, followed by bush-beans 

 or tomatoes and then sweet corn.
