Thursday, September 30, 1909. THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. 3 .p. GhQ Homc-MftRer's Moot Important Work Some Thoughts on the Trainin g of the Children Teach Them to Obey and to Yield to Others, but Always Treat Them as You Would Expect if in Their Places. BUYING AND SELLING. With Our Advertisers. I think the. most difficult task we home-makers have is to bring up the children in the way that they should go. . So many times we un thoughtedly lose our patience and say things that they should never hear. For the simplest words, used in the wrong place, and by parents, have the deepest impression on the children. We can many times watch and listen to them when at play, and judge from their play and conversa tion what their home training is. They generally use the language they hear at homeland when they see their parents give way to their tempers and perhaps treat innocent creatures angrily, it is reasonable to believe that k they think they have the same privilege. And really they have, for we should never do that which we would not have them to do. So the most "difficult task is to live the life we want our children to live. Teach them first of all obedience, and to do this we must be obedient ourselves. They have their little wants and desires the same as we do, and it costs us little a great many times nothing but a few kind words to grant them, and the pleasure and satisfaction we give them by doing so repays us doubly for the little ef fort we make. And then we must never forget to show them our ap preciation of their obedience to us. The next thing is to teach them self-control, and to. begin this is to control ourselves. They are sure to have bad days, when everything they come in contact with worries them. Then is when they need the most patient and loving hand to guide them. Do we not all have bad days when everything goes wrong? How would you like to have some one, who is so much stronger and wiser than yourself, add to this mis erable feeling . by harsh words and a spanking occasionally or a switch ing? The best thing for us to do is to try to get their minds on some thing they have not thought of. Tell them little funny stories, or take them with you if you are at work and give them something to do. If it is of no use or no real help, it will occupy' their minds. Why, my little girls have had needle and thread and would sit for a long time and sew scraps when they could do noth ing but pucker it up into a hard ball. I double the thread so the needle will not come off and put in more as they need it. I think the most healthful play for both girls and boys is the out door playhouse. The girls do the cooking and housekeeping, the boys can play the part of men: get wood, do the plowing, hoeing, etc. And if they soil their clothes and them selves, don't worry. It will not hurt them. On rainy .days, give them a foonv or corner somewhere out of the way where they can have things as they like, and always learn them to replace everything when they are through. Another important duty is to do our best to keep them in good com pany, for when in Rome they are likely to do as Rome does. If we allow them while young to associate with children who use bad language and do bad things, we can't expect them to do otherwise. I know some do all in their power to bring up their children right, and at last they go astray. But how comforting It must be to them to have a clear con science and feel like it is no thought of theirs. NELLIE. Live our Stock. Keep your eye on our "Live Stock Department" and 'Breeders Directory. We are - b; laying plans to give more reading matter on this subject. We are also going to have a larger number and better variety of the different breeds of live stock represented In the "Breeders' Directory." The different breeds of hogs, cows, horses, etc., will be written up and letters from The Progressive Farmer readers will be published telling of the good profits they have received! from rais ing improved stock rather than com mon scrub stock. We shall continue to make our special advertising rate to farmers who have improved live stock to sell, making it possible for the man who has only a s few to sell them cheaply through an advertise ment ia. The Progressive Farmer. Of all the papers in the country we do not believe there is another that pays this class of advertisers r so well for what It costs to run the advertise ment. We receive scores of letters every season that back up this state ment. One reason is because we do not take any but reliably advertisers and when a Progressive Farmer reader wants to buy something, the first thing he does is to look in his paper for an advertiser -who he knows will give him a square deal. So don't fail to read our live stock page every week. j RICHMOND TOBAOOO. Richmond, Va., Sept. 25, 1909. Receipts of new primings have been small during this week. It is evident that the bulk of the prici ngs have already come to market. Business in old tobaccos continues to be quiet. The market is firm for all grades, with very small transact ions.
