MAKE LIFE ATTRACTIVE
Otherwise Children Cannot Be Kept
Upon the Farm.

We often hear it deplored that so
many farmers boys and girls leave the
farm SO early, but it is all in their bring
ing up, and nine times out of ten the
parents are responsible. They do not
make farm life attractive enough. They
forget that God designed every farm for
an Eden. and stalk through life as I'M
concerned TO the beauties around them
as the dumb brutes under their care do.
heard a young man Of % say the
other day that he wouldn't leave home
for anything-that he considered it the
prettiest spot on earth. Come TO find
out, that boy never had to get up at
three o'clock in the morning and work
until sunset. He was blessed with
parents who considered their children
OF more importance than overwork or
money. Pleasures were furnished at
home to keep the boys out of danger.
Even Fourth OF July was celebrated so
splendidly at home that the boys had no
desire to go anywhere. Invent to one of
| those farm entertainments, and there
was picnic all day in the orchard, with
swings and boat rides on the mill pond,
ice cream and fireworks. The farmer
was not a rich man, either; lie only
looked out for the good and enjoyment
of his boys.
Some farmers and their wives take
time to interest their children in beau
ties around them. and set them to work
making collections of flowers, leaves
| and grasses, with names written neat
~ under each. They let their children
bring MOSES and stones into the house
and form little cabinets of their own.
They encourage them to draw and paint
pictures of ali the birds and insects they
see, TO learn their names and become ac-
guainted with their habits. Such chill
dren win not want to leave the farm.
But the average farm Of to-day is so
dTeary and monotonous, with Its end
less routine of duties, oftentimes ac-
companied with hurry and harsh words.
no wonder the young people want to
leave the farm and hunt up something
more cheerful.
There is nothing in the world so
sweet, so healthful, as farm life when
carried on right. and there's love at
home" Let parents look to it that their
children are entertained. and so many
of them will not want to leave the farm,
but will be satisfied to remain at home
with papa and mamma as long as they
live, and then take their places after

FACTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

The queen is the life of the colony.
Always set bcehives close to the
ground
Keep the hives well painted, espe-
cially the roofs.
Hives should be set with entrances
facing south or east.
Smoke is the only thing that win sub
due or control bees.
Thorough ripening of honey is more
important than color.
Do not winter bees in a house unless
it is frost-proof and dark.
Put good layer of sawdust around
the hive, especially in front.
The air should always circulate be-
tween the ground and the hive.
Never smoke bees at any time more
than is necessary TO quiet them.
Wind breaks on the north and west
sides of the apiary are beneficial.
Heavy canvas or duck is good ma
terial TO cover the frames in winter.
Very late swarming out is good evil
dence that the bees are starved out
Bees Matched during the summer
months almost all die before spring.
Hives should not be set fat on the
ground, but be raised about two inches.
Roofs of hives of every kind should
have good coat of paint every fall;
lealy roofs are very 6amaging.-St.

STRAIGHT FARMING.
More Popular Now Than 1t Has Been
for n Long Time.


The past five or six years have been a
period of shifting, experimenting and
trial with a large number of farmers.
Urged by low prices of staple products
they left the old and yentCred into new
fields of live stock production, cropping
and methods of farming. These eA-
periments have not been satisfactory
10 the vast majority, for no sooner did
they get into a new field than it was
overrun with their competitors. But
the experience has been valuable. The
result is general tendency to return
TO the production of the staples in a
system OF mixed farming as being the
most satisfactory il the long run. Most
of the so-called ''specialties" which
were to do so much for the average
farmer have failed TO enrich him. Most
of the new crops which We're SO loudly
praised in the beginning have been
found no Improvement over the old. But
In methods of farming, which involved
cheaper production and a better prod
uct, there has been considerable ad-
vance. For these reasons straight
farming is now more popular as well
as more promising than for long time
and this is for the greatest good to the
greatest number OF demonstration

said: ''You see those hands-the skin is now
