While" Goingaroundthehorn last
Monday, Frank Devine, of Brayton.
broke down his barouche, cut on the
ridge west of Hamlin, and came drag
ing into the Station in lumber wag-
on that he borrowed of a farmer. He
had George Burberry along and went
bumpety- bump bump on up to Au
dubon where they arrived at about
midnight's holy hour. We were con.
fidently told that George enjoyed that
ride, hugely.
The question arises: Do we need to
work such long hours on the farm?
Or may we not reduce them bv a
careful planning OF the work: I may
have been lazy but if attempted to
work over eight hours day and do
the milking the extra time put in
did not amount to much. Keeping
the boys OH the farm is question /
believe is, solved by not too long
hours and by having good reading.
Encourage reading and account keep
ing. If the boy knows that by not
milking the very last drop the annu-
al yield will be considerably reduced.
and when the card shows yield Of
more than say 4,000tb he gets GER
tain per cent. in dollars and cents do
you not think he will take more in
terest in the work and be less liable
TO get sick of it?
