The BOY md the Farm.

How often we hear parents discern.
age the boys who wish to stay on the
farm! They refer to farm worI. as
drudgery and that which tends to make
them slaves to work rather than indie
pendent men. The biggest boys are
educated for professional men and in
many instances excel, but the vast ma.
jority OF these. with a good practical
education such as canbe gained in our
schools of agriculture, would become
wealthy, progressive farmers. with fine
farms and beautiful homes, IL they had
been encouraged and advised to stay
by the old farm and make it success.
