JKH it I should advocate such a law, r For sixty-six days Foreman took than time Stanley Farmer Tells How to Manage The Farmers' Boys. Albemarle Chronicle. There is one other question that is now bothering the farmers of the United States, and that is how to keep the boys on the farm. The Stanly County Farmer has seen all kind of receipes on this, but I'm told that they won't cure. Just as soon as the boys get big enough to light a feneeiail or burst their suspender buttons, thej want some thing lighter and aim to go to the city to get a job shoveling tooth picks or some other featherweight article. Last week I got a letter which states: "My boy is seven: teen years old aud inclined to be a little fast. What would you ad vise!'7 - - '. The first thing to do with the lad, friend, is to shoe him with 'long toe calks and tighten his sus penders. This will teed to curb the speed and also tend materially to regulate his ambition. A young man when first turned loose in .the world is like a bull yearling in fly time, inclined to be speedy and promiscous. Put a pair of wooden shoes on him and let him pull cuckleburs. If be has a desire for recreation, take him to his grandmother's grave. Don't trammel him as to company have him attend the undertak ers convention and teach him to be an embalmer. This will make .him sociable and'give him a cheer fill disposition. A boy must have perfect free dom. Let him ci post holes and clean out hog pens while you go to town with the top buggy. Mar y -m -m a Doy nas oeen spoiled, by com pelling him to ride behind a pair of horses in a carriage. It is not natural for a boy to pull on- the reins. Get yourself a new automobile, and bore a two inch hole through the door of the shed so the boy can look through and see the machine. He will spend hours in this way, and while he is doing this he will not spend the time in riotous liv ing. Don't be stingy with your boy. Give him a dime every six months and tell him how to spend it. So much money is wasted by foolish spending. Then, too, many a boy has gone wrong from worrying over how to spend his money when he has so much given him while 4n the farm. Should a circus come to town be sure to have your boy see the street parade. The contaminating influences of a circus are all on the inside. You should see these your self and tell your boy about them. If yon are afraid to show him the animals in the show let him climb a tree or look through a fence crack at a d istance. He will then come away and go to the barn whistling band music to the rats. Don't ask your boy to wear woo den shoes to the church. Get him a nice pair of cowhide boots with red tops and thick soles. He might meet a snake and want to kill it. Also do not ask your boy to wear stiff high collars, or he would have to jump up or get -on a stump to spit over it, or break his neck when he looks up to see the catter pillaraltz down the lightning rod. You should pick out an old maid wikafarmand a bank account for-your son to marry, and teach him the frivolity of ribbons and bright colors. Build him a log house on the farm and let him spend his Sundays after preaching closing np the worm holes in the logs. This will cultivate his pa tience and make him more obe dient to his wife. Tell his wife to actions will cause the wife to make molasses taffy and paint her checks with pokeberries, thus improving her sweetness and appearance. II you can get the boy to work all night ouce in a while it will tend to shorten his gait, and by'-chang ing teams on him twice a day for a spell when harrowing soft ground you win soon get him so that he i some gentleman would rise up and j only water.

I asked the lady to tell me of her trouble, if she would, as I could see it had something to do with the little lad who was sitting by her side. It seemed that 20 days before, a strange cur dog, passing across their farm had bitten the little fellow not enough to hurt him any, and nothing wa3 thought of the matter, as it was supposed that the boy had ben teasing the dog. That morning, 20 days after the child had been bitten, news came that the dog vvas mad.

He was a fine lad. My State raises thousands of such, and it is certainly a pity that their lives should be menaced, at all times, in order that our gentlemen of leisure, both white and black, may Lave an abundance of "coon dogs " Of course, in our State, there are only about 200 people bitten each year, but this totals quite a tidy little budget of heartache, and ah guish of spirit. And you that aie of a mercenary turn of mind can figure out quite a money loss also, as the cost of treating such cases runs from $50 to $250 each. I could, of course, drift off and tell also of the hundreds of thous auds of eggs that the cur dogs of the State suck annually, and that should have gone to nourish the Door children of the State. Of course, too, a good many valuable sheep that our State can ill alio d to lo?e are killed annually. Then getting back to the mad dog mat ter, it is awell known fact that whenever a mad dog passes thru a section, many valuable domestic animals are bitten and have to be destroyed. But I musn't say that North Carolina and every other Southern State needs a dog law, that will rid the State of the worth less curs that nobody owns,- and others that nobody feeds, and oth- XX 'XX ixy?--3w Vv X vxx -&ic&zhtts fe & lisfe&rss a$k K X(C7) M a Dokes Mixture Umbrella H I REID'S o o ' cQp SALISBURY, N.
