Oh exhibition, and he can apply many OF them
TO his own work without any further aid.
we will go but little further. Our readers
see what we are at. We hope they will them
selves be, and bring up their sons to be, men
who will have some skill in everything.
Here are some reasons for this recommends
ton which We will give at the risk of making
this article little longer. =. -,
!. Almost every farmer will need this kind
uf skill. Not one in a Thousand will live so
near village where there are skilled mechanics,
AS to be able to use their aid at all times. Few
er still will farm on so large scale as to en-
b:ace all these trades in the force employed on
their own grounds. He will need some skill

cent The sense of such independence is a
great comfort. Its exercise is sometimes a
great advantage.
3. 1t saves great amount of time aud mo.
pey. We knew Il man who lost whole day s
time and .severa! doarsin money in the follow
ing way: A part of the harness was taken
away. 'He had not eu,ugh tact and skill to
repair it with piece of rein or halter.
4. 1t will deyelop, talent in many persons,
where it now slumbrrs useless and powerIess.- :
The exercises in mechanical skill furnished By
the farm has awakened the mind Of many n
youth. who has rpencd into noJle aud skill
ful mechanic and Artist.
But We have said enough. Give the boys
and girls good chance to cultivate their pew
ers in practical way. You can never predict
what treasures you will find.
