    (continued from previous page)
    plesent, and so is the frost.
    A penny wise and a pound foolish.
    Two things you will not fret at if you are a wise man, the thing you can't help and the thing which you can.
    Spray your potatoes early before the blight comes on.
    Is your potatoes any good or are they worth a digging put in your spade and try them now. Says wide awake Mc.Guigan.
    A green Christmas leaves a fat church yard.
    Put in your potatoes early, and fill your drills with manure, put ribbons on her bonnet and marry her when she is young.
