The Boy Who Wins at Farming Must
Know His Business.
This is an age of ? lucation.
The uiau who was must- have an
educated tuiud, or baud, or both.
Education means equipment for
life's work. A carpenter cauuot
do good won; without good
sharp tools. No merchant or
manufacturer woul i thiok of en
gaging in business without first
educating himself alon^' Uie liuee
he wishes to follow, nor would a
progressive merchant or manu
facturer think of conducting hi>
business without taking and
reading ail the papers which ^
purdished in the interest of bis
business.
BETTER LEAHX WHY AS WELL AS
HOW .
The business of f vrming re
quires some study to pr isecute
successfully, and the young men
who have an inclination along
this line should look carefully in
to the advantages offered for
trained men. Much training can
be gained by working on the farm
unaer a good manager, but in
this case one learns only the
"how" and not the "why." It
does not enable him to work out
problems which may be present
ed to him from another stand
point or with other complica
tions. The skilled engineer is
not paid so much for what he
does as for what he knows. His
problem is not how to get out of
a difficulty, but to avoid them.
We wish to make good citizens
and good home-makers as well
as bread-earners, so that some
other training should be given
than that of training the hand
only. The mind should be ex
panded. This can be done as
tne student btudies about the
soil, crops or any other subject,
provided the student is taught
and not lectured.
how intensive cultivation ok
the brain pays.
The young man who takes a
course in agriculture tits him
self to better enjoy life. He in
creases his earning capacity
whether he works on a salary or
works his own farm. It he can
earn $1,500 a year working for
someone else, he could do as well
for himself. Let us take an ex
ample of a boy who has a good
common school education to
start on. Suppose he starts out
for himself and has no capital to
work on. He starts at eighteen
years old to work in a store, cot
ton mill, or on a farm. He will
command in a few years say a
salary of $500 per year. This
would be perhaps his maximum
unless he should be a very bright
boy. Suppose on the other hand
he spends four years in college.
He cau make his way d he wish
es to, plenty of boys do, and at
the end of four years he can com
maud a salary if he proves
worthy, of say $1,000 for the
first five years and $1,800 there
after. He has lost only four
years of time as compared with
starting at once into active life,
but he has increased his earning
capacity from two to four times,
at a very conservative estimate.
From this one cau see that an
education pays from a tiuancial
standpoint. Aside from this,
his sphere of life is enlarged. He
enjoys life more and becomes
something more than a cog iu
the wheel.

Intensive Farming.
There is do question about the
wisdom of intensive farming,
even with good labor conditions;
and with labor so unreliable and
uncertain as it is now, there is
no other successful plan open to
the farmers of this region.
Making land rich makes its
cultivation easier, less expensive
aud doubles the yield for the
same amount of labor. We
have heard of a book, by
some author, whose tittle was.
'Ten Acres Enough,"and there is
more wisdom or logic in it than
many will admit or realize.?

Take a Vacation.
With increasing years people
are paying more attention to
vacation Aud every man and
woman who works ought to
take some vacation. Without
it life grows monotonous and
our common tasks very tiresome.
I'lan an outing; go for a few
days rest; get somehow a few]
da*e recreation It gives one a ;
fresh hold on affairs, a new 1 rise
on labor, a bright, outlook on]
I business and a greater love for.
home and the tolks who live
j there. The summertime with,
its lung weary days is here,]
aud no uian or woman can work
throuph tbem all ami remain;
hopeful a id happy.
In this respect our govern
i meut sets a good example. It is
estimated that the summer vaca- j
tiou of Uncle Sam's employee's ;
costs annually $0,000,000.
The ordinary government em
ployee gets thirty days vacation
with pay. And the heads of de- ]
pertinents scatter in all direc
tions for summer iest and recrea
tion. All of us are not blessed
vitii government jobs, but most
are blessed with the privilege of
labor, aud should therefore in
dulge sometime in the pleasure
of rest. Take a week off, and the
burdens of life will be borne more
I easily afterwards. Alt work
and no play makes both Jaek
and his father very dull and
tired.?Christian 8uu.

This man bought a supply of tobacco with
out acquainting himself with the distinctive taste
of SCHNAPPS Tobacco, which has the cheering
qualities that gratify his desire to chew, and at
less expense than cheap tobacco.
SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this
paper so that every chewer has had an
opportunity to get acquainted with the
facts and know that drugs are not used
to produce the cheering quality found in
the famous Piedmont country flue-cured
tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he
ought to chew. Still there are chewers
who accept other and cheaper tobaccos
that do not give the same pleasure.
Some day they'll get a taste of the real
Schnapps?they'll realize what enjoyment
they've missed by not getting SCHNAPPS
long ago?then they'll feel like kicking
themselves.
SCHNAPPS is sold everywhere in 5
cent cuts, and 10 and 15 cent plugs. Be
sure you get the genuine.
