KEEPING THE YoUNa Folks CONTENT
ED.-How shall farmers manage to keep
their children near them? How can We
discourage influx of unnecessary nay,
burdensome population into tho cities ?
Weanswer: by making agricultural soce-
ty attractive. Fill the rarm house with
books and periodicals. Establish central
reading rooms, or neighborboOd clubs.
Encourage the social meetings OF the
young. Have concerts, lectures, improve
menl associations. Establish bright, ac-
tive, social life, that shall give some sig
niticance TO labor. Above all, build as far
possible in villages. 1t is better 10 70 a
mile 10 ones daily labor than to place ones
self mile away from neighbor. The is
olation of American farm life is the great
curse Of that life, and it falls upon the wo-
men with hardship that the men cannot
appreciate, and drives the educated young
away. -ScIibner's Monthly.

diminishing the size Of the tumor, and in a sickly,
feeble condition. 1 consulted another physician in
Eatick, who, after considerable time, succeeded in
healing the without reducing the size. At this
point commenced to use Vegetine, through the ear
nest persuasion Of friend. After had taken this
medicine about week experienced wonderful
sensations My whole body seemed to be undergoing
radical change, until finally, the tumor broke and
discharged frghtful quantities From this time it
decreased in size until the bunch disappeared, but
my neck still bears the ugly scars Of the sore and
lance. am now healthy and strong and able to work
every day.
