kept on doing their work, and the college-bred 
and book-made farmer kept on doing wonderful 
things with soils and crops, and now there is 
scarcely a farming community that does not 
number among its leading members a farmer 
of one or both sorts. So does time work changes. 
Boys who intend to be farmers are now sent 
to agricultural colleges, and the wise farmer 
takes in good agricultural papers and reads 
agricultural books. He has organized himself 
into granges and other associations and is fast 
learning the value of co-operation. All this 
tends to elevate his calling, a calling which is 
naturally more dignified than any other, and to 
make himself and his labor of more real value 
to himself and to his fellows. 
But even yet there is too much haphazard 
arrangement of the farmer’s work, and for this 
reason he is always struggling and finding little 
leisure. It is partly due to the lack of organiza- 
tion in his work. If he has not too much 
land, and if every month has its appointed 
tasks, the farmer will move along from task to 
task, with at least as much leisure as his city 
brother. So get your work mapped out, and 
attend to things as they need attention, instead 
of leaving a lot of small things to pile up and in 
the end cause hurry and confusion.
