No man suffers so much from rns- cality as the rascal.
 Young Stock for Children.
 Every boy on the farm should be given young animal to raise for him. self. he to attend to 1t and be induced to take m interest in its progress. He will thus early become fond of animals and of farming. and will be more recon cllcd 10 farm life when he is grown. The boy who leaves the farm for the city is tho one who has never had any oppor- tunities and looks upon farming as drndgcry. Labor becomes pleasure when there is something to strive fo-, ard the early education of the boy on the farm should be by giving him an interest in something. All llchildren love young stock and pet them. Farmers Voice.
