KEEP THE BOY THIS WAY.

To keep boy on the farm first of all
work should be made as pleasant and
attractive to him as possible. He will
never like the farm if he realizes that
he is nothing but 4 chore boy to have
to work with the poorest team, the old
est tools. Then giving him a small
financial interest in the work which he
does is matter of the highest irnpor-
lance. There are far more boys driven
from the farm than ever leave it volun.
tarily. A very good way is to give the
boy an acre Of land and let him have
all he can raise on it. A number Of old
grangers have been much surprised at
what their boys could do under this
plan and have been given a very valu-
able object lesson in the possibilities OF
a small piece of land well titled. You

rune Now According to the Purpose
You Have In View.
DR.. Huey, authority upon outdoor
roses, says: Pruning of dwarf grow
ing roses may be begun in March and
can be regulated by the quantity and
quality of the blooms desired. If the
erect of large masses Is wanted four
or i've canes can be left three feet In
height and all laterals and very old
and weak wood removed. This will
give a large tot of flowers, effective in
the mass, but small tn size and with
short, weak stems, scarcely able to sup
port the weight of the heads and not
effective for cut flowers. This sort of
pruning Is entirely for outside show
After the bloom IS over the long shoots
should be shortened, that the plant
may make vigorous growth OF wood
Tor the next seasons bloom.
II quality Of bloom is desired, all
weak growth should be removed, every
remaining healthy cane retained and all
cut back to six or eight inches, always
cutting just above an outside bud to
open the head and admit light and air.
Roses pruned in this way do not need
stakes, but are sufficiently strong and
! stocky to hold erect any weight they
may be called upon to bear. OF course
the number Of blooms will be greatly
reduced, but the fine specimens OBJ
tanned will amply repay the lack of
| abundance. Do not condemn this Sc
we're system Of pruning without giving
it fair trial. It is this that is adopted
by the best rosarians Of Europe and
we will come to it when we know it's
| merits.

The soil of the strawberry patch

this spring should be allowed to fruit

long since ridiculing the remarks Of a
professor In certain agricultural meet

didn't believe the fellow had ever lived

row mindedness. Each day brings
proof that the man who follows most

The recent act prohibiting the fenc-

resulted in some Of the largest Of these
enterprises going out Of business, a

crowding out the smaller landowner
from what was rightfully his own and
guilty Of actual bloodshed and violence
in some instances in the attempt to
maintain their unlawful possessions.

We knew Of a farmer once who got
the idea In his head that he would like
to hold a county Office, which Is per-.
fectly laudable ambition for the man
who can afford it The gentleman in
question was popular about the county
and would undoubtedly have secured
the Office had he not thought better Of
the matter and withdrawn his name
giving as Q reason that during the next
eight years it was up to him to make
his stake and that that time was too
potent for good for him to waste 1t in
filing an office which when his term
was over would leave him unfit for
anything else. This man was wise be-
yond his generation.

The time Is not far distant when the
new lands, irrigated or otherwise, will
be all taken up, and instead Of going
west the farmer will have to turn his
attention to more economical method
of farming the land he has. This will
mean that the roadsides will grow hay
instead Of weeds, that straw and hay
will be more carefully stacked, that
machinery will be put under some
more protective cover than the heavens
and that the general air Of thrift and
care so noticeable to one travelling In
the agricultural districts Of foreign
lands will be more in evidence.

The cooperative ownership Of regis

not little grief to many Of those who
have made the experiment This trou-

individual liability of the stockholders,
with the result that some have been
