the
Talk to the Farmer Boy
, ... in Hnme and Farm.
Uncle looey. . hmlfc
i c w inirLiiiM
Ithe Iarm that I have always
boy on we ' . , .
,vze this ieeiing u "
ana ;r hut mv efforts have
Lv trnv i "
llajs failea. From seven year
Lid to ten your Uncle Tobey lived
tn Tbe balance of his boy-
that during
iTcanreine"""-
Ue three years I lived in town I
euvied the life of the farmer boy.
t have tried to explain mib pref
erence for the farm boy on account
ofmyaraem -wi
for its fresh air, its snnsmne, ks
preen fields and rippling streams.
Rnt that does not account for it
Lather, for I remember that I
(preferred the country boy as a
Uvmate. And this was not alto
Uher because they were better
'boys, although I think, as a class,
thpv are. But there are some very
'bad boys growj up in the country,
and some very good ones are reared
town ic spite of the many evil
Bat the country boys will not al
ways be country boys, and not all
of them will be farmers. A nd this
leads your Uncle Tobey up to the
point of what he started oat to say.
The country boy, like the town
'toy, should choose a vocation for
life. If the farmer boy could be
satisfied, if his tastes and inclina
tions did not run in a different di
rection it would be better for him
jto remain on the farm. But it
might not be best for humanity.
Many, if not most of the. men who
;have helped to set up the mile-
btoues of progress in the world
Win their youth "boys on "the
iarm. " ; -
If the farmer boy prefers some
other calling than that of agricul
ture in all its phases, he should
'exercise great care choosing what
that vocation should be. There is
no trade or profession in which the
i)eginner can start at the top of the
ladder. The most successful men
:in the world began at the bottom.
Washington, Webster and Lincoln
were farmer boys. The most - in
teresting chapters in the lives of
successful men are those in which
are recounted their most heroic
struggles to win success.
I have often thought that the
jtovn or city boy has the advantage
over the country boy in choosing a
vocation. The farmer hov sees the
litter of euervthino- on dress ta-
I " c?
!rane, or on the staro nf notion. He
hears the blare of trumpets and is
tarried off his feet bv the elow of
"right colors,

;the tent into the dressing rooms.

struggles make the men. Fortu
nate is he who comes out of them
with a pure heart an unsullied
character. Mountain climbers scale
the Alps for the exaltation of tri
umph. How much more glorious
is the struggle to fit one's self for
the good of humanity. There is a
demand for honest men in every
trade and profession. The great
est failure is the man who wins
success in any trade or profession
by the use and practice of dishon-
methods. He not only cheats him
self, but he cheats the. higher law
of his own conscience, and what
ever his outward appearance may
be, however the world may ap
plaud, he isan empfy sepulcher to
himself.
The surroundings of a country
boy fit him for a high position in
any sphere of life. He is full of
hope, and hope inspires courage.
Out-of-door work has developed
his muscles and developed him in
to a fine specimen ofphysical man
hood. Dissipation has not cloud
ed his brain. The whole country
is proud of its farmer boys, and
much is being done, and more will
be done, to induce them to remain
on' the farm. But some will go. A
few words to these: Boys, beware!
The town and city have their at
tractions. They also have their
temptations. The dens of vice are
open to lure you on to destruction.
They appeal to your every sense.
The boy that listens to them is
lost. Competition in all the trades
and professions is fierce. It .is
hard to win at best. But patience,
endurance, courage, hopefulness
and hard work will win if you are
honest and true to your own man-1
hood ; - Use the courage 5fh ich the
free life of the country gave you:
Shun the gilded dens of vice and
sin. Keep good company; Be
courteous to all and familiar with
few. Seek the advice of good men
and women. .- And den't bex in a
hurry about getting married. There
will always be a stock of good girls
on hand. The supply will never
be exhausted. Learn your trade
or profession first and then you
have something tangible to offer
your would-be., wife. Science has
demonstrated that a woman connot
live on love alone. - Don't take out
license to starve a woman. Have
something saved up to start with.
It will save you many a heartache
and your young wife from shedding
many a tear.

Over 200 Busheh to The Acre.
J. F. Batts, in Progressive Farmer. '
As I am receiving many inquir
ies concorning my acre on which I
produced 2261 bushels of coru, I
gladly accept your invitation to
write a short article about it.
The acre was not all that I could
have wished ior. Eight yoars ago
it produced only five bushels. Last
year it produced eight bushels oi
wheat,- . But I began preparing it
last year by planting peas, from
which I cut the hay. On the 12th
of March, 25 2-horse loads of cow
manure were applied. It was then
plowed 12 inches deep and sub
soiled C inches deeper. On the
9th of Aprtl, 20 more loads of ma
nure were spread, and the field
was plowed and sub-soiled again
this time 20 inches deep. Three
days later 800 pounds of acid phos
phate and 2,00Q pounds of cotton
seed meal were SDiead and har-
4-
rowed in. The corn was planted
8 inches apart with the rows 41
inches apart, and 600 pounds of an
8 3 3 fertilizer put in the row.
May 20th, 400 pounds of cotton
seed meal, 400 pounds acid phos
phate, 800 pounds kainit and 200
pounds nitrate of soda were put
along the rows. On the 27th, 200
pounds cotton seed meal, 2C0
pounds acid phosphate, 400 pounds
kainil and 200 pounds nitrate of
soda were broadcasted . and : har
rowed in. June 9th, 200 pounds
cotton seed meal, 200 pounds acid
phosphate, 400 pounds kainit and
200 pounds nitrate were applied.
The yield was 226$ bushels. The
manure applied was worth $56.25;
the fertilizer cost $58 8 D, and the
total costof the crop was $139.02.
I attribute mcclT of m?success
to seed selection. I haveVkept, a
seed patch seven years and on
this patch I have year by year
planted my best seed, selecting the
seed from the best ears with view
to good size and Quality and pro
Jific type.- I do i bt believe that
more than four ears can be., safely
made on a stalk, and this can be
done only under the most favorr
able conditions. But if we make
four ears in the seed patch, and
breed the seed to that type, the
average in the main field will tend
to run above two ears. This was
the plan I worked on, and it has
come out all right. I believe I had
the benefit of the most prolific
seed to be had. And I know the
seed had all the chance that I
could give. '
I am now making plans to show
what can be done profitably on 20
acres. I will make no promises,
but next year I hope to be able to
report on a yield of 20 or 30 acres.
I believe that we can do a great!
deal by increasing our average
yields all along the line, and that
the way to do it is by the use of
prolific seed stock, good manuring
and faithful and intelligent culti
vation, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a very
valuable medicine for throat and lung
troubles, quickly relieves and cures pain
ful breathing and a dangerously sounding
cough which indicates congested lungs.
