The young man today is just
what he makes himself. Good and
evil speaks out before him. He
may choose the evil, and be pest
to creation. Ancestors. wealth and
education counts for but little.
There are no heirs to the throne in
America The great men today
were the poor boys fifty years
ago. No pri ident bad direct
decendent to be president. Few
senators have seen their sons hold
positions Of honors and trust.
The boy that will be president forty
years from now may be plowing
corn today. The boy that is hon
est, energetic and determined, gets
there. The boy who is dishonest,
dissipated, slothful and without
purpose is worse than a failure
The possibilities for good or evil
of the American boy is unlimited.

(. Under the head "Abandonlng
Dalrying," Farm, Stock and
Home comments on a noticeable
situation as follows:
"There is an inclination ON the
part of farmers who are not pros
porous to do less dairylng. This
is among farmers who are well to
do," or ''wealthv" as the term is
understood when applied to far
mers. While Farm. Stock and
Home is intensely interested in
the development of the dairy in
dustry, yet it is disposed to accept
the foregoing situation philosophi
cally. Why may not the farmer
who has all the comforts of life
provided. discontinue the hard and
exacting work of dairying? 1t is
easy for the business Or profession
al man, and even the wise sclibller
to rail against such a course. Iut
had they been in the same harness
for many years they would be
more charitable i'll their opinion
of abandoning the dairy. Dairy
iny or milk production is and al
ways will be profitable, but it's
both confningan exactine. and
makes those engaged in it look for
relief in some kind Of a change.
The relief is merited and should
lie enjoyed. But the farmer who
is net so situated is reluctant to
put himself where he must milk.
and he will shirk it while he can.
A good wheat crop causes him TO

how much she has helped him out

the industry will never be over
done. IL a young man desires to
buy farm and paw for it from the
farm he knows THAT the COW In tf1le
dairy will do it. Anl attention is
directed to the fact that we do not
even say "dairy COW" but ''the"
COW. If dairying was not so irk-
some it would be overdone, but IS
it is, each in turn has an oppor-
tunity to let bossy pull him out Of

answer 10 the question docs it

out the acres OF land, the nice
