“Every farmer should give liis sons two or three 
square rods of ground, well prepared, with the avails of 
which they may buy it. Every mechanic should put 
a receiving box in some conspicuous place in llie house, 
to catch tlie stray pennies for the like purpose.

a better expounder than many which claim to ho ex¬

deemed good property which will clear itself once a year.
