DON'T DISCOURSE THE BoYs.- Have Won
stopped to consider the effect Of your com
plants and discomfort upon the boys on ,b,
farm. Everybody seems to be out Of ioinl
IN agricultural matters, nobody seems salts
nsd on the farC. Dsy AMI night are spent
IN murmuripes and complaints at special
aMeuons thst come to farmcrs, while the
Ismefs themselves seem mp in arms and
ready t. do harm to ali opposing forces. l.
there not some plan by which we can gain
cur ends aud readjust matters that see n
ont OF joint, without so much complaint and
eiuernessf Such conditions have mos
nui,ini effect upon the younger members OF
the household, to say nothing of the damag-
ing tn'ct upon our temper aui morals.
HOW can ,s sexlect The boys 10 cultivate
any degree Of foniness for farm life when
J they Never hear anything pleasant in its
pursuits! How can we censure them as
: ihey grow up to manhood for abandoning the
ola homestead, when every zephyr that
P!ayed among its flowers was turned to n
sign and al its blight cheer into sadness
and tears.
We must hold on to good spirits. nj least
In the presence Of the boys, nntil We can
whip the terrible fight ueon which we have
entered.
No man was ever made better by having
the blues, nor better fitted for n conflict
: because Of feeling sure tha, ho wou d be
WHIPPED in the fight.
foung spirits are much easier broken th an
those who have weathered the storms Of
years. Just as young mules are ruined
Tor lie by overtaxing their strength the
nrs' year. SO young boys are made
prematurely old by putting upon them the
burden Of cares beyond Tn iv years.
The farmer makes grevous mistake
who discusses his cares and his troubles
IN complaining spirit in the presence of
MS boys, and he puts their young minds on
search for brighter surroundings aui mors
pleasant prosl ects.
Under all the complaints thai now burden
the land what must be the grievous con-
sequence upon the young in bring nr about n
generalization that will bring a failure to
our agriculture.
Make the future of your children brigh,
ana happy by keeping them young in years
and as far from cure as possible. e.-.Sou,hern
