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

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.

the planting of successional crops.
The work of cultivating and push

quire constant attention and the har
vesting and shipping of all sown and
early spring planted crops will crowd
upon this work. Successional crops
of all the different vegetables should
be planted every week or ten days

the fall as possible.
Gather and ship small fruits and
early peaches and apples as soon as

cent years especially in connection
with corn. 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

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.

Let us assume that you are rais

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.

WHAT A SUMMER COLD MAY DO
A. summer cold if neglected is just
as apt to develop into bronchitis or
pneumonia as at any other season. Do
not neglect it. Take Foley's Honey

cough, soothes and heals the inflamed
air passages, and expels the cold from
the system. Brown's Pharmacy
