tanned In his family that there was
any money III hutter-they were
thankful if they had enough to eat
But last spring he told daughter
that if she would 60 to making but,
ter according to the formula given
by the institute workers, all the
money she could get for il that the
family did not need, should be her
own. The little dairymaid went at
it and soon had customers near
home at big prices, but growing a
httle ambitious aud gaining more
confidence, she sent some TO East
ern friends, and forth with came the
order for more, and her butter
market jumped from Is To 25, 35,

FARMERS BOYS AND CITY BOYS.
President Chamberlain made the
closing speech IN trying 60 answer
the question "What Shall We Do
With The Boy" Ii was the ques
ton OF questions; particularly with
parents whose boys are going wrong.
The boys and the girls, are the best
crop on the farm, or in the town =
the crop for which all other crops
are grown. fhe compauionship of
the mother and daughter on the iso-
lated farm is closer, if not more
sacred, than in other homes. He
spoke of the delusion on the part of
couury boys that the city boys had
better time than they. The mo.
notony of city life to boy who is
determined he would not 60 to the
bad is cruelty by the side of the
free enjoyment of the average
country BOY. And in knowing "huw
to do things" that relieve them
trotn helpIeSsness aud aids them to
be useful aud successful farther on
Ia lie, the country boy is incom-
parably ahead. Statistics prove
thls--tor so per cent of the real
BUSINESS success of this land IL
transplanted from the farm and not
more than 20 per cent. Of it came
from the boys of the cities, not
wlthstandlng they had successfuI
fathers country born as examplers.
They set good habits, health, aud a
spirit of selt-rellance that enables
them TO undertake the most gigan
TIC enterprises that are now carried
on. But for this new, strong blood,
we should soon pass our meridian
rs nation and commence to de-
cine, lie drew a pitliul pioturc OF
the dawdllng clerks, who half
starved on low wages, and contrast
ed them with the 80. u.called "greasy
mechanics" who could and dld
command twice aud thrice their
wages because they could do some
thing the world would pay for hay
ing done--that children and girls
could not do.
CLOSE OF THE SESSION N-RESoLuIoNs.
Mr. chamberlain Is loud preach:
er OF the gospel that commands the
earnest boy, If he would be great
and independent, to learn how to
make his living with the skilled
hand aud eye before be trusts the
making of his bread TO the whim Of
some one to hire him TO measure
tape, sell tightening rods, plead AS Il
one-horse lawyer or cheat" pre-
carlous living out of other folks, in
the thousand and Que ways that
"genteel idleness" il busy in in-
venting.
