GARDEN YARD oF 
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.
