ing this, it SO wrought up the old

We wish every boy who con
templates leaving the farm TO
the towns could read and diges
the article in TIE ARGUS heade,
Sensible Advice" and you
most excellent comments On tn
clipping. We have always con
tended that the country woul
have been infinitely better if tn
boys had not been taken fror
the farms and crowded into til
stores and professions. Educat
them, and put them back on tn
farm. Successful farming require
more brain than Drawn, just a
any other business. We hav
| tried both, and we would nc
: give the quiet, solid comfort an
, enjoyment Of a country life com
muning with Nature from NOR
9 till night, aud then seeking OF
repose with no fear of anythin
, Except a mad dog to "molest {
l make afraid" for all the electr
glare, hurrying and %scurryins
: hustle and commotion of a city
