THE SEASON, 
and two years since. However, some of the more 
able farmers are holding their wheat, hoping (as 
it were) against hope to get a more remunera¬ 
tive price. Our fields have been ice-plated for 
about two months, and fears have been enter¬ 
tained for the (now) growing wheat crop. Tho 
late rains have dissolved the “ plating ” and tho 
wheat, generally, is yet alive but has an un¬ 
favorable appearance. A favorable spring may 
do much for the crop of IBTO.-Pioneek.

THE SPRING WORK, 
No Traveling Agents arc employed by hr, but 
any person so disposed can act as bocal Agent, on 
his or her own authority, and secure premiums, etc. 
“I no not know what to do first this spring— 
.there is so much to do,” said a most enterprising 
farmer to us the other day. We were astonished. 
Not know what, to do first? No farmer has any 
right to say I hat. Tho man who knows Ids busi¬ 
ness will be able to decide tvliul is most impor¬ 
tant and do that very thing first. There is one 
thing wo have found by experience to be profi¬ 
table, invariably, in doing farm work. It is to 
employ all the help necessary to accomplish a 
specific kind of work when it ought to bo done. 
It is better to pay twenty-five cents per day 
above the market price for labor in order to get 
the help necessary to do the right thing at tho 
right time. Delay is often depreciation in tho 
value of the work done because results are not 
what they otherwise would be. Wo have often 
found it profitable l o make a special effort to get 
in grain when the ground is in right condition by 
employing extra teams and hands, even at extra 
expense; while we have lost half a crop by neg¬ 
lecting to incur such extra expense. There is 
no end to farm Work no limit to the amountof 
work which tho intelligent rumor can do or 
have done; hence the employment.of extra labor 
for especial purposes need not cause any fanner 
to lose in tho employment of hands by the 
month.

Early in April (here came a day when that grain 
COUld bo put In, with t he ground in most, excel¬ 
lent condition. He hired all the neighbors neces¬ 
sary to secure the seeding in one day. The price 
lie offered for the labor secured lor him the aid 
of men whose ground was in equally good con¬ 
dition to receive seed. They calculated thill 
good weather would continue. His ground was 
drained and subsoiled. The next day after his 
seeding was done Hi© three days* evaporation 
condensed and came down in torrents. This 
prevented his neighbors seeding for ten days. 
The rain fell upon his soil, went through into

his crop was two weeks iu advance of his neigh¬

Such results are almost invariable, no matter 
what the character of the job to be done. It is 
precisely tho difference bet ween doing and de¬ 
laying. A dollar invested in doing at the right 
time, brings Icn dollars in results—not only in 
a specific crop, but by enabling the farmer to 
keep pace with the demands of bis farm upon 
his labor resources, If it will pay to do a thing 
on it fimu at all, it will pay to do it well and at

myriads of good people who really want the paper,

about it, and, if there is no agent near, receive and
