Bows on the Farm.

The time was when boys were considered
Of but trifiing account upon the farm
They answered to run Of errands, and to do
the light "ch0res" about house and barn.
TO keep them out of mischief when not at
tending school, they possibly did some SER
vice astride the horse to mark out the corn
ground and cultivate the corn and potatoes.
But if ambitious to join the men in the
field or elsewhere, they we're equipped with
the most worthless, cast aside tools, such
as rusty hoes, dull, worn out scythes, old
fashioned forks, used up shovels, dull axes
battered hammers, unified saws, and so on,
through the whole catalogue of farm imple-
mepts. They grew weary nsing them, and
so would men have done accomplishing on
ly the same amount of labor. It would
not be strange if such treatment first plant
ed dissatisfaction in the heart of many a
farmers boy, which finally ripened into ut
ter disgust, the seeking of employment be-
hind the counter of the village store. or,
perhaps in something less honorable, which
in the end resulted il iniquity or ruin.
But now, boys upon the farm are the
equal Of the men of those days. BY the
aid of the new class of implements they are
equivalent to several men with the best Of
old implements. Boys have indeed won
derfully increased in Importance in these
last few years, and nothing is too good for
the brave, willing, ambitious little fellows.
And they most richly deserve their newly
gained Importance. Two and one-half
millions ofmen taken from the industrial
pursuits of life for the purposes of war
more than one half of these direct from
the farming population, and yetan increas-
cd yield in agricultural productions, save
where the vicissitudes of seasons or the
ravages of insects have interfered How
could this have been accomplished without
the aid of the noble boys who have remain
ed at home Their work has been scarcely
less creditable or important than that of
those older "boys in blue" that have labor
ed in those other fields where the harvest
has been the harvest of death.
We have faith in The farm boys of this
day and generation The nation owes them
it's sincere gratitude. They are deserving
of all the benefits that shall result to them
from the new industrial schools that are
about being established The early life is
a preparatory school that will teach them
to appreciate the benefits and blessings
that the agricultural colleges are intended
to dispense. Honor, encourage and care
for the boys Of the m.-Prairie Farmer.

A Good Time For Generals.

Blessed are they who wear shoulder-straps,
for they shall not be disappointed. After four
years of bloody war, our military champions are
returning TO receive the rewards of grateful
country The politicians are actually coming
down from their high places and escorting the SOL
diers to the seats ofhonor To be General is
to receive a certain nomination for any Office in
the gift of the politicians that has no money in
it, In Pennsylvania, four gallant soldiers are
running for two offices that nobody would take
for the giving. In Philadelphia the rich, fat,
Juicy offices have been given to deserving politi-
cians-to men who have served the country in
many noisy campaign; but, still, Philadelphia
is not the whole country, and elsewhere jnicy
things are set apart for soldiers as well as other
people Here, for instance, we see two Generals
rewarded by the Democratic party The gallant
Slocum is made the candidate for Secretary of
State, and Patrick for Treasurer. Out of seven
Offices three are given to the soldiers In Ohio,
a General heads the Democratic ticket, and
another General opposes him. In New-Jersey
the Republicans came near having General, but
they took civilian and the Democrats have
chosen Gen. Runyon. We first heard of Run
Won al Bull Run, and do not remember to have
heard Of him since in general way. In Iowa,
y Colonel leads the Union column ; in Minneso-
To, General and We presume the example will
he followed elsewhere While we are in the bu-
