How to Anchor the Boys.

Many suggestions are given to farmers
about anchoring the boys on the farm, but
none seem to fit the case better than the
direction to give him some share in the prof
it's. Something that he can call his own,
and which he can improve by industry.
Sometimes the "bent" may be very pro-
nounced, but ordinarily it is what you make
it. 1t is easy to interest the little boy In
small fruit culture, or in the care of young
stock, whose growth he watches with keen
interest because the proceeds are to be his
very own. AS you value your good name
with your boy, deal as uprightly with him
as you would with your neighbours son.
"Don't let it be boys calf, but fathers
cow" When he has gained some money
by hard work and the means you have Civ
en- him to use for himself, don't say to him
as another father did: sDan, you may
lend me that money and 1 will give you my
note for it." The money was handed over
most reluctantly, and that was the last the
boy ever saw of it. That boy concluded to
quit farm life at the earliest day he could.
Two boys knew, had by the hardest
earned money, selling apples around the
village from bag carried on an old horse
back, bought a calf. 1t grew well and was
watched and tended with pride, and there
were various calculations over the way the
money should be invested. But one day a
cattle-dealer came along and they saw their
pet sold with the rest Of the young cattle;
and one of those boys remembered when he
was gray-bearded that they never saw any
| thing of the money.
Very different did another farmer man.
age. He gave his boy any acre on the farm
he was mind to pick out, with leave to
use all the fertilizers he pleased, and vari-
GUS other facilities for making his small
| farm success. The boy chose to set it in
small fruits, for which there was good
market, and every year saw him more OF an
enthusiast in this culture, and very soon
they brought him in most handsome re-
turn. City life had no charms for that
youth as he grew up.
There is a delight in watching the growth
of trees and plants of ones own setting
that is of a most elevating. refining charac-
ter. 1t is foil to many Of the temptations
of life, which are to be found in the country
as well as the city. A good paper on the
subject, and personal interest in the cul-
ture will cause an intelligent lad to take
hold of it with vigor, and will invest coun-
try life with new charm. No wonder
Oliver Wendell Holmes said that the best
poems he had ever made were the trees he
had planted along the winding river.
Would that every s'waste place. about our
farmers homes might this year be planted
with vine, a bush, or tree. What a
change it would make in the face OF the
landscape, and in the lives of the jewellers
in these homes. GREEN'S Fruit GROCER.

If we wish, says the Lynchburg Advance,
to carry this State by a handsome majority
in November next, this must be a working
campaign. Eloquent speeches will not
elect our men, although they help to keep
the energies stirred up and point men to
the proper path of duty. We shall need
hard, earnest work by men who are inform
ed and know how to work. Place the
young men in the front rank as workers
and let them be instructed by old and wise
political heads. From The present prospect
this will be one of the hottest campaigns in
Virginia's history. The opposition is nu-
merous, composed of Straightout Republi-
cans, and Mahoneite Republicans, and indie
pendents, and we might with propriety say
temperance fanatics, who will throw away
their suffrages upon ST. John. We are
thankful that in the South these men who
will cast half vote for Blaine while voting
for St. John, are seldom seen. We say to
the Democracy: Take no part in this fight
with outside issues, stand squarely upon
the platform adopted by your National
Convention at Chicago. Organize into
clubs, circulate campaign matter to those
who need information, talk with those who
are lukewarm and need to be braced up,
have your clubs in thorough working order
at the earliest possible moment, and when
the election comes off, see that every Dem
ocrat votes. If this is done we can safely
count upon Cleveland and Hendricks as the
next President and Vice President of this
country. Then measures of reform will be
enacted, the thieves will be turned out, and
honesty will once more reign in high places.
The election of Blaine means a continuation
of the Republican party in power without
any reform measures, without retrench-
ment, economy, or honesty. The honest
Republicans are in such helpless minority
that the time has passed when we have
right to expect any improvement. They
have continued for the last twenty years to
make promises before the election which
were broken with impunity. Nothing
good can be expected until there is Clean
ing out of all departments, from the high
est to the lowest-a general settling of ac-
counts between the people and dishonest to
officials.

The Election of Cleveland.

AS the Alex. Gazette says, the election of
Governor Cleveland to the Presidency of
the United States would mean something
more than the mere elevation of the man
to the Office; it would mean more than
mere change of parties; it would mean the
restoration of Democratic ideas in this Re-
public; it would mean that the flag of the
country shall be respected abroad, that
American citizens shall be protected in for
eign lands; it would mean that commerce
shall be carried on in American ships. that
American products shall find markets all
over the world, that American labor shall
be well paid, that invested capital shall re-
alize legitimate return, and that the hun
dreds of mills now standing with idle loom
and noiseless machinery shall awake and
again give voice to the busy hum of indus
trious toll. 1t would mean progress, sound
financial standing, pure administration of
the affairs of the general government. the
conviction of crime in high places, and a
helping hand to. the charities OF life. 1t
would mean that this country, which is en-
titled, from her boundless territory, her
enormous wealth, and her great resources,
to be the equal of any other ON the globe,
shall take the place that nature has destin-
ed her to occupy. 1t would mean return
to the simplicity of the olden times, when
patriotism, not pelf, was the ruling passion
of American manhood, and when love of
country and not of gain was the inspiration
of duty. 1t would mean that honest work
shall receive honest pay, that integrity
shall be at a premium, and that the wreck
ers of corporate fortunes and the spoilers of
the public purse shall be disgraceful
memory. 1t would mean liberty not IL
cense, honor not fraud, and economy not
waste. BIT beyond and above all, it would
mean, the restoration of united country,
the burial of animosity, hate and sectional
ism, the raising up of a patriotic and vigor-
GUS sentiment that will know no Colt nor
Saxon, no North and no South, but will
judge men and parties by the good they ac-
complish and the result of their principles,
their policy and their labor.

&c, which would add small per cent.
more. I merely make this statement to go
before my neighbor farmers to start them
to thinking little on the subject. Now,
the question is often asked: "Can farmer
afford to pay $40 per ton for fertilizers and
sell his wheat for So cents per bushel?"
answer: "He cannot.' say that farmer
might afford to pay $40 per ton for fertilizer
when he can make an average of 20 bushels
of wheat per acre and sell it for one dollar
per bushel.
Now, Mr.. Editor, would be glad if
some of our best informed and experienced
farmers would take this question up and
discuss it through your columns. l think
that much good might result from it. And

What it Costs to Cultivate One Acre OF
Wheat,
From the Greenville Banner. I

From the Greenville Banner.]
To get at the exact cost we must first
get the cost or value of the land, and to do
this correctly, we must first count what
our land is worth by the acre, including
timber lands; or, rather, value the farm as
a whole. Then deduct from the whole
number of acres the number of acres that
are untenable. This will make nearly all
the tillable land worth fifty dollars per acre.
Taking this as the value of the land, we
