OF FARM NOTE S INTEREST 000000000QQQanor f THE FARM BOY AND HIS CHANCES We need to have more farm boys grow up into farm men. But we musst give them an interest in farm life. All boys look to the future. They expect some day to have a fami'y of their own and they wisely think they can not be too soorf preparing for it. A recent writer says that in one particular point the average farmer is unfair , to his boy. This farmer sets himself up as a standard. If he did not want to do this and to do that to to here and to go there, why should his boy? The farmer remembers when things were harder all around, but the were harder for his father, too. Why do we have generation after gener ation following in the footsteps of their predecessors unless these foot steps lead to higher things and brighter things? The farmers of to day fifty years old have, speaking generally, an easier time physically than their maternal forefathers had. Your boy has a right to look to a like advance in his condition. And you ought not to he satisfied with less. The conditions of life on the farm and in the city have vastly changed from what they were when you were a boy old man, and you must rec ognise the change or else things will gc to smash. haps this discontent may be removed by taking him more into your con fidence, making him a partner with you, giving him special fields on which he can exert his own energy and develop enterprises of his own. M you want to keen the w on th0 farm let him feel that after the year's work is over he has something to show for it not merely in know ledge and experience and in in. ed crops, but in profit and in little money in bank or in a little field of his own. Home and Farm. PROFESSIONAL CARDS Your boy has to complete with ether boys whose fathers have tried to give them all of the advantages they can in the race of life. Your neighbors' sons are the men with whom your son has to compete. They will come to their farm life better prepared in every way than their fathers were. Now see that your son competes with them on equal terms. Get him the best educatiou that you can offord to give him. Lec him iearn of the best farming methods. Supply him with the best tool.; and instill m him the ambition to do Better than you do, and better than you have ever been able to do. He knows more about the soil about the con stituent elements of the soil. j fe knows more about the markets, lie has more tools than you had or than you knew when you were his age We hope it is true that The phy sical hardships of life on the farm are less now than they were when you were a boy. For if they are not, more boys every year will go to torn. Life in town is more attractive now than the town life was fifty years ago, and if the farm life has stood still there is not much hope for the farm future. It has not stood still and it ought cot to stand still on your farm. Give the boy his share in the good things f life that come tnrough the inven tor?, the discoverers, men who have transformed industry. Have him lead a hopeful helpful and vigorous life. Let him have the pleasures of life along with its labors. Do not tell him to postpone happiness until he is your age for if he does he will not know how to be happy. Make him happy today and then the happiness f five, ten and twenty years hence will come to him through his own efforts . t Teach him the habits of life that ttake him a strong, healthful man. Teach him the habits of mind that aake him a strong, good man. Discontent it not a bad quality. On tfie contrary, it is the motive that 'each to he beterment of the condi--0l:s of daily life everywhere Tf vnnr - " :J0 THE PRICE OF LAND AND ITS LESSONS. There has been a remarkable in crease in the price of land farm lands, not simply city lots. Through central Kentucky the price has in creased from 50 to 100 per cent. wOne cause for this increase in the price of farm products-. When a man can get more for his crops he can afford to pay more for that piece of land adjoining his. which he has wanted for years. Let the farmers not be deluded hv high prices of farm products. Food products are not going to maintain their present altitude, because the de mand for food will develop new sources of supply. Already the nrice x of wheat in the American markets has curtailed largely the export of it. bo has the price of cotton checked the port business. The demand for more farm pro ducts can be met by bringing more lands under cultivation, and met by making the lands under cultivation produce more. The world is not yet land poor. There is a great deal of land In the United States and a great deal in Canada, a great deal in Man churia that can be made to minster , to the needs of a hungry world. DR. S. W. GREGORY. DENTIST.

The selection of the seed, the cultivation of the soil, CEe care of the crop generally has result ed in certain quarters in a vast in crease in the yield of corn per acre. If it has not resulted so in your case you are behind the times. Send your sons and daughters to some farmers' institute. Go to the fair. Do a little experimenting on your own account. Be careful about your seed; and in a little while you will realize that you have only been raising a half crop. Until you have gotten out of you land all that it will give you, you ing but the first-class fruit in each package. Keep seconds and culls separate and either use at home for canning or ship separately. In this way the prices can be kept up on the I markets and better average results be secured.

The trouble, esnpciallv in tha 'niVoH -.l c j .-""vi Mav-aagcB, sua nacKaPs nf South, has been too much land for the labor and capital employed. Let us assume that you are rais ing wheat and getting twelve bush els to an acre or raising cotton and getting half a bale to an acre. Your farm is 160 acres. You think that at present prices you can afford to buy your neighbor's farm, have 320 acres and double the crop. If you double the crop that is, if you get as much from your neighbor's farm as you do from your own the cost per bushel of wheat is as great as it was before. You have more bushels and bales to sell, and of course, you have more profit; but you have two farms, and vou have got to get interest on the" capital in- vested in two farms. Now, stick to your own farm with the determination of raising twenty four bushels of wheat to the acre and one bale of cotton to the acre. choice fruits are almost always in demand in local markets. abeth City at 3:15 pm; arrive Suffolk 7:05 pm.
