to be known as the Gregorian calen

that "mankind has labored under its

further tells us that “this illogical

say, “offers a way for better plan

which is pointed out is that "cum

take an isolated case—we allow the
potato bug to destroy that crop for
a number of years in succession, we
would have no seed potatoes to con

lacking his accustomed food, would
be compelled to, attack other plants
which would spell more trouble for
the farmer and gardener.
