They are not active and industrious. They are slothf ui in ererything. They do not keep up their improvementa. They are wedded to old methods. They gire no attention to details. They think sroall things not important. , , They take no pleasure in their woric. They regard labor as a misfortune. They weigh and measure stingily. They are waatef nl and improvident. They are fretful and impatient. They ruin stock by low fencing. They let their gates sag and fall down. They will not make compost. They let their fowls roost in trees. They have no shelter for stock. They do not curry their horses. They leave their plows in the field. They hang the harneas in the dust. They put off greasing the wagon. They starve the calf and milk the cow. They let tbeir pigs thump in the duat. They go to town without business. They are penny wise and pound foolish. . They don't know the best is cheapest. They have no method or system. They go two often to "see a man." They have no ear for home enterpriae They see no good in a new thing. They never use paint on the farm. They plant very late in the spring. They stack fodder in the üeld. They prop the barn door with a rail. They let the horsss stand in the rain. They let the clothes dry on the fence. They let the hoeps fall irom the tubs. They neglect to trim up the trees. They hare uo shelter fer vvotxl. They milk the cows late in the day. They burn out the store with a blaze. They have no time to do a thing1 well. They hare no garden in the fall. They don't believe in rotation of crops. ïhey see no use in yariety. They see no difference in seeds. -
