Driving a great Business. —Dr. Johnson used to 
say, “ He who waits to do a great deal of good at once, 
will never do any.” This is the kind of mistake which 
some farmers commit. In their zeal to do a great busi¬ 
ness, they run in debt for large farms, and debt keeps 
them under water, and they are always working to a 
disadvantage. With a smaller capital, with industry 
and independence, they would be much better off in ten 
years. It is a great deal better to do a little in the best 
manner , than a great deal superficially and with disor¬ 
der and confusion. -— 
As modesty is woman’s greatest ornament, so the 
want of it is her greatest deformity. 
GRAF TING-TOOL FOR ORCHARDS. 
The annexed figure re¬ 
presents a very conve¬ 
nient grafting tool for 
splitting the stocks in 
Orchard grafting— a, the 
handle— b, the blade— c, 
the wedge— d, the head to knock it out with, after the 
grafts are set. The whole need not be more than 9 or 
10 inches long, including the handle. 
A wise man is like a spring lock, always more ready 
to shnt than open.
