] paid visit to farm belonging to an
old friend of mine the other day. He is
what is called a well to do farmer His
farm is located six miles from the near
est town and railroad station. He came
to the station after me with a horse and
wagon and as we logged along over the
road lie said:
My three bows are restless and uneasy
and want to quit the farm. wish you'd
have talk with them and quiet them
down"
When we reached the farm | found
the paint all beaten off the house. while
none of the other buildings had ever
been painted at all. The front yard was
covered with long grass and weeds.
There was a rlS carpet on the paror
floor, but all the others We're bare. Not
avail in the house had ever been papered.
There was no music, no newspapers or
magazines, not Il picture outside of a
family photograph.
Why don't you have some flower beds
in the yard::' | asked.
"llavent time to make 'em."
"Why don't you subscribe to some
reading matter:"
I'VE haven't time to read"
"That dip down there would make q
good fish pond.
Yes, but | don't care for fish ponds"
"Don't any of the boys like music?"
"1es, [ hear 'em talking, but We've
got too much work on hand "
"IIave they been fishing this SUMMER"
"No"
"Becn to circus:"
"No"
"Had any holidays since the Fourth?"
"No"
"Boys go to school in the winter, l sup
pose:"
A little We have wood to chop and
rails to split, you know.
"They go to church"
"lt's too far.
"How much money do you allow them
per week?'
"Ihey don't get anything, except when
l have to buy their clothes"
"What do they do Sundays?"
"Oh, sit around and talk"
"What do they do evenings?"
"Sit around or go to bed"
"How much does each boy earn you a
year,
"Well, $3.50 at least"
"And how much do you actually pay
him.
"Mebby Sa5."
The boys were aged 16, IS, and 20, re-
spectively. None of them had read
line of history. None of them could
write legibly. They knew about as
much about arithmetic as the ordinary
schoolboy of s. They could read little,
but made no pretensions of spelling.
They were born on the farm and had
grown up there. Each one hated farm
work. Each one felt that his father had
done him injustice Each one told me
in confidence that he would run away
within the year.
There are farmers and farmers, but
fear that most of them are alike in those
things which are driving their boys to
hate the country and to determine to
leave the farm at all hazards. The farmer
who began life fifty years ago must
not argue that what was good enough
for him is good enough for his boy. 1t
isn't. The world has changed greatly.
1t is demanded of the humblest that he
be educated. We have come to under
stand that the human machinery must
have a rest now and then from its labors.
The mind must be fed as well as the
body. The days of slavery for white or
black have passed. The parlor organ,
the magazine, and the steel engraving
have as much right in the farmers parlor
as the plow and the drag in his fields If
the farmers boy of to-day is to be kept
at home he must be treated more like
human Icing and less like an ANIMAL
