VOLUMN UNCLE TOBEY'S LECTURE TO THE FARMER BOYS. UbJ Toty Talk to tbe Frm Boy I of the Grand Old Country Life Says its Time for Beys to Have an Object in Life; Bat Don't be in too Big Hurry to Leave tbe Farm. Uncle Tobey in Home and Farm. Come, boys, and sit down here on the grass beside this beautiful gfreara. Tbe sun shines brightly, the birds su e singing their glad ness, ami you can hear the murmur of the waters as they come rippling over tbe white rocks. In the eddy below you can catch glimpses of the little shiners as they dart about in the water. It is an ideal spring day in the country, and-on every band you can see the evidence and feel the presence of an all-wise and all powermi oeueucieni supreme beiug, whose hand has wrought this wond( xfnl change from cold bleak winter to happy, ex hilerating and life giviDg spring. It is a fitting time to impiesa upon your mind the freedom and beau ties of a glorious country life. In the country it seems as though God is everywhere, and his handi woik surrounds you on every side. It is about this grand old count ry life that your Uncle Tobey, wants to talk tj you, as he has often talk-' ed to his own boys, for your Uncle Tobey has two boys or had. One of them passed over into the Great Beyond hut s ircmer. How often have I talked to those two boys of the grandeur of country life, and how often have I enjoyed it with them in work ond play. And they never ceased to be "my boya,'1' and never shall. And your Uncle Tobey has beeu a boy onre and j hasn't foiott??. At, . 4&n&&!&& t hoy's heart in him, and a boyNi urcefor boys. His love for boys sports has never left him. When is oivn boys had grown up to be men we worked together and hunt ed and fished together. As I talk ed to tnose boys l would talk to the boys who read the Home and mm. The life of a farm boy is sometimes a hard one. There is a good deal of drudgery, or routine work, which the boy or boys are expected to do. There is little to appeal to a boy's ambition in clean ing the stable or turning the grind stone. Come, Johnny, take your feet ont of the water aud listen to what I am saying. Do you know what you are oine to h whpn vnn o - - -. J grow np to be a man I You don't! Well. you ought to bethinking. ery one of yon bovs ontrht to be thinking about it. Yon one-nt to tegin now to have ' some object in Jjfe. A boy without an object in is losing time. He nnvht in lIink what he wonld Hire rrwfn best when he sroes out into the orld as a man moi-n for himself. Jt is better to have w object in life eveu if yon change it after growmg up to manhood, than it is to have no object at all. The first resolution a boy ought to Juaice is tr, n father and mother, and broth rs, sisters and friends, will be Proud of. if he is "fcely to make a vrmA n-.o - .J.wu Ullli useful citizen. boy who is good; to his mother, his fath and brothers and sisters ost certain to be a good boy. 0a 1 frget these word fm nCIpTrvV, , . - uCJ, ana ao all you can to Auoey and do so In JUU Will K l nappier yourself. 1 Mi Int.

The skies are place in which to grow air is fresher and the bluer. And mother is there to guide and direct her darling boy. And God is there. These influ ences will strengthen you to with stand the temptations that will be set you on every hand when you go out in the world to fight your own battles. Besides, the days you spend on the larm will be the happiest you will ever see. Count ry life may appear lonesome to you, my boys, but it is the best life a boy or man ever lived. The city, with its magnificent build ings, its show windows of glitter ing baubles, is too often a delusion and a snare. Its -pamblinfr !pii o e --j brothels, club rooms, dens of in- famy and vice are pi?f;,lls which wreck the lives of thousands of young men every year. The devil lurks on every corner, and master hands join in the mad race for inoney I am not advising all young farmer boys to persue the calling oarming. I know that some are better adapted to a com- j mercial life. I am simply point ing out to you boys the tempta tions and dangers of city life as compared with that in the country. Your Uncle Tobey knows. He has spent about half of his life in cities aud towns and the other day iu the country. The happiest days of his life were those spent in the country. Now, my boys, your Uncle Tobey does not mean to say that there are no good people living in the cities and towns. It is a wonder that, more do sot go to the bad than do. The battle for bread is fierce Thousand s 1 i ye f roni h a ml to 'mouth. Most are" in debt. Bat few become very wealthy, and some of these fortunes are wrung from the toiling poor by methods which you farmer boys would cill wrong. Your Uncle Tobey knowsa num ber of men who have , grown weal thy in a few years, but I would rather be a beggar than to have their fortune the way, they got it. Now, boys, listen to me; the world calls these men successful. But, boys, you listen to what your Uncle Tobey is saying; a man who makes money by dishonest methods is not a success. The man who is dis donest and is out of jail is no bet ter than the one who is dishonest and i n jail, and quite often not so good. - ; Merely making money will not be carrying out the Master's will. The Bible says: "The love of money is the root of all evil." The man whose sole object is to make money and pile it up beyond his necessities in this life is a failure. He simply lives, eats ai d "rots,1' and the world is no better off for his having been born. . 1 When you boys choose a calling, in life, that is when you decide what you want to do, when you start out in life for yourselves, choose something useful and hon est, arid something that will be most helpful to the world and those around you and jlependent upon you. Some inen succeed by rob bing others of opportunities. Don't be one or that kind. In almost any honest occupation you can suc ceed and open the way for others to follow you.

As fSt as land is broken each half day's breaking should be harrowed, to pulverize any clods that may be present before they dry an(l become hard. Pul verizing : is easily done at the proper time, but if clods are left to become hard they may bein therway in planting and cultivating for a considerable time. The harrowing also helps to keep the moisture in the soil", arid makes it mellow, u The thoughtful and observant far mer m this section of the Coun try knows that we almost invar iably have a drought during the summer so they begin thus ear ly to keep the moisture in the S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND I -v.
