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 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 impor-
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, \ number of old
grangers have been much surprised at
what their boys could do under this
plan and have been given very valu-
able object lesson in the possibilities Of
small piece of land well titled. You
farm boys who read this ask for the
use of an acre of land, pay rent for it

A PLAN THAT FAILED.

In an attempt to solve some of the
difficulties incident to the immigration
problem the experiment was tried of
colonizing some OF the Italian element
in certain districts of The south ana
getting them started in the business Of
fruit farming, the originator Of the
plan doubtless thinking that if their
love of the fruit business. as evinced in
their zeal for the push cart fruit ven
der vocation, could only be turned in
the direction of production, instead of
vending, great good might result both
to the cities from which these for
eigners were drawn and TO the waste
districts of the south which their efforts
would turn to some use. The expert
ment didn't work. for the sons of sun
ny italy suffered from nostalgia to
such an extent tina: they HE'D them
selves back to the squald tenementS

Der is becoming a serious problem.
