RAISING BOYS.

families of boys, the father in each

boys earn money when they we're
small. AS soon as they had $1.5O
they would buy a calf, fattening and
selling it later at a profit. The boys
worked for their father most Of the
time, doing their trading, oultivating
their patches and hauling wood to
town at odd times. Every one Of
those boys had saved money enough
to partly pay for a home by the time
he was grown. Each bad a home of
his own when married, although not
entirely paid for. But with their
knowledge of business and of the
value of money, they soon paid out.
Mr.. BIS boys were industrious, but
he did all the business. He dressed
the boys we'll, allowed them plenty
of pocket change, when they married
he built houses for them on his
land, and gave each a horse and
other property to begin work with.
Now Mr.. BIS boys were just as smart,
healthy and industrious as were Mr.

The greatest mistake I made last
year was in buying poor seeds. I
deferred sending for them till it was
too late to send away to a good seeds
man for my garden seeds, and so I
had 30 buy them of the nearest
grocer. As a result 1 got poor seeds
and raised about half a crop. I also
bought poor seed again. It being
high in price, I bought where Ioould
get it the cheapest, the result being
a poor stand of grain. While there
has been a loss from planting these
poor seeds, I shall profit by expert,
ence. 1 shall aim to get the very
best seed TO plant, for I realize, in
Decd that in this the best is the
cheapest. I am convinced that il

REPORT OF SWINE EXHIBIT, PAN-AMER-
ICAN EXPOSITION, AND OTHER NOTES.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The last week of August marked
the opening of the live stock show
at the Pan American Exposition the
success of which is even beyond the
expectations of the immediate man
agement.
While the exhibit of swine, num-
bering about 900 animals, is not as
large as was seen at Chicago, or at
the Crystal Palace, London, yet it
was evident in the minds of all peo-
pie who witnessed this exhibit that
in point of individual quality there
never has been a show brought to-
gether in America or in Europe that
can compare with the show of swine
at the Exposition.
Is was thought originally that the
extreme heat of August might per-
haps prevent the breeders from send
ing their stock to the Exposition, but
the ten pavilions devoted to the
swine show, testify that this vas a
mistake.
The Judging of the swine occurred
on Wednesday and Thursday August
28th and 29th. The men employed
for this work were men of national
reputation. The jury was composed
of five members, viz: Prof. g. E
Day, Guelph, Ont, Capt. g.. B. Hood,
Guelph, Ont, Thomas Teasdell, Con
cord, Ont, w. A. Alexander, Scipio-
Vile, N. Y, Aaron Jones, Jr., South
Bend, Ind.
The policy of Superintendent Con-
verse was to have all the work done
by the single judge system, and the
merits of all the animals determined
by comparison, rather than by the
score card. In many instances, how
ever, the high quality of the animals
shown made it necessary to resort to
a committee rather than the single
judge, and in several instances it
was necessary for three men to pass
decision before the awards could ne
made. 1t will be seer by the awards
that some of the most noted herds in
America and Canada were repre-
sented at Buffalo.
Below is given a summary of the
awards in different Glasses as made
by the jury:

VALUABLE FARM BOOKS.

Principles of Agriculture. By Prof.
L. H. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 300 pages.
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1925 to better ad-
vanta &sthan by sending that
amounRee us for a copy of Prof. L..
FL. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the why's and wherefOres"-the
principles-of the business" of
farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has n been issued
which the average reader of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 800
pages. Send US 81. 25 and get a copy

HOW TREES ARE DwARFED.

Japanese Arboriculturists Are Pecu-
linrly Succ sssfui ia the Art.
The dwarf trees of Japan have been a
never-ending source of wonder to Euro.
peans ever since the opening Of the her.
NIT kingdom to inspection by the rest
Of the world. A single pine, perfect in
form and foliage, has recently sold for
1900. 1t is six feet high and alleged
to be $50 years old 1t has long been
supposed that the process by which
Japanese gardeners succeeded in
dwarfing forest trees was a long and
costly one. 1t is now said that it Is a
simple process, and that anyone can do
the trick The following directions are
given for producing a miniature oak
tree:
Take an orange and scoop out the
pulp. Fill the interior with a rich mold
and plant an acorn in the center of 1t,
leaving the hole in the rind for 1t to
sprout through. Put 1t in sunny place
and water 1t frequently. Soon after the
first shoots have appeared the roots be-
gin to break through the orange skin.
Take a sharp knife and shave these off
carefully and keep them shaved. The
tree will grow about five or six inches
high and then stop. In a year 1t will be
a perfect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow the orange skin
should be vanished over and imbedded
in flower pot.
The Japanese dwarf all kinds Of trees
and make them live to a great age.
Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo
Hiba, are well known, and their owners
have documentary evidence attesting
their great age The older they are the
more valuable, of course, they are. In
Japan certain families follow the call
ing, trade. art or what you win Of
growing dwarf trees from generation
to generation, and you can buy q minla-
ture oak 500 years old from descend
ant Of the man who first planted the
acorn. Not only forest trees but fruit
trees and Towering shrubs are dwarfed
by these clever gardeners.

Three months passed slowly away af-

was utterly inconsolable the first few
weeks, fell into all his old maundering,

tentions to every passable woman who

word-that is to say, one who Is generous
and unsel6sh, who considers anothers
happiness and welfare and not merely his
own. A man who is bear to his SIS
ters, diseourteous to his mother and care
less of the feelings of servants and poor
relations is just the man to avoid when
you come to the great question 10 De
answered, yes or no.
A duck of man" generally makes a
goose Of husband so 1t Is wise to choose
for husband one with lasting qualities
Of heart and character. Some women
marry in sort Of missionary spirit, hop
ing to turn the man from the error Of
his ways. This is not wise thing to do.
The poorhouses are full Of women who
thought that they could reform their hus-
bands.
A husband need not be handsome, but
he should be good-ooking, in the sense
Of looking good morally and physically.
When | marry" said a budding school
girl, I'll want fine, tall, broad, hand
some man that everybody will admire"
There's where you are wrong said her
elder and more experienced sister. YOU'D
have much less trouble in watching a less
good-looking man, and would enjoy a
great deal more Of his society"
AS to the age husband should be, we
need say little about this, because men
differ so much Some are more fitted to
take upon themselves the responsibilities
of marriage at 25 years of age than 9TH
ers are at 80. 1t is not natural for
young girl to wish to marry an old man.
but we think that boy husbands are
mistake. They never know what they
are pleased to call their minds, and it is
not easy to discover from day to day
what they are going to do, or into what
they are going to grow.
There are hearts all the better for
keeping; they become mellower and more
worthy woman's acceptance than the
crude, unripe things that are sometimes
gathered-as children gather green fruit
Ito the discomfort of those who obtain
them.

cents to take a bushel of wheat from the
Missouri river to. Liverpool. Within thir-
ty months, by reason Of improved road
beds, lighter grades, fewer curves, heav-
Ter iron and larger locomotives, single

will be loaded from the car direct to the
ships, carrying not 1000, but 2S,OO0 tons.
The saving in expense of transporta-

insure the producer better prices and the
consumer cheaper food. Our people all
understand this and they are both con-
tented and happy. They are building bet

their parlors, more books on their shelves,
more sunshine in their homes, and they
are advancing the prices of their farms.

Swinburne might have had "Sir"
before his name had he chosen to ac-
cept the baronetcy which was offered
him some years ago, but with true
democratic independence he refused to
accept title which, after all, could
do little to enhance his fame.
Similarly, Mr.. Watts. r. A.. whose
pictures are known the wide world
over, could have ranked with Lord
Leighton had not he stoutly asserted
bis objection to titles and elected to
remain as he was.
Lord Tennyson, when first approach
ed on the question of accepting peer
age, was strongly opposed to the idea,
but eventually succumbed to the offer
on the ground that his son would in
herit the title and that he was there
fore justified in taking 1t.
1t is rumored that the late Profes-
sor Huxley was offered a knlghthood
by Mr.. Gladstone-an offer which was
politely but firmly declined. A similar
honor was proposed to his distinguish
ed contemporary, Professor Tyn-
dali, and was also declined without
hesitation.
1t is an open secret that Charles
Dickens might have added the word
bart to his illustrious name had he
chosen to do so.
A few years before the demise Of
Verdi, the illustrlous composer. the late
King Humbert sent for the maestro
and offered him a dukedom in recogni-
ton of his services to music. Verdi re-
fused the gracious offer with dignlhed
courtesy, whereupon the king admitted
that he was quite right.
