If tools and books are not to
YOUR liking, get interested in pigs
or calves or colts. 1t is worth
something to boy to know how
to feed pig or calf or colt or
sheep right. How to know all
their likes and dislikes, TO know
what makes them thrive and grow
and to have them know you by
your voice. After while you will
be so skillful in caring for them
and the dollars and cents you have
saved, one by one, have grown to a
neat little sum and you invest
in some stock of pure breeding.
This should be the ambition OF
every far mers' boY-to own some
pure blooded stock. This hobby
pays not only in satisfaction, but
las money value.
1t is worth something to a boy
to know the best varities of fruit
of all kinds. There is so much TO
know and learn about strawberries
that you can make hobby of it
and put in lite time studying
them. We have known boys who
have put their faith and spare
time into bees and they are still at
it as men.
Now, about whiting. We al
most said, don't put in your spare
time at whiting But, if you can
whittle and think,-and some very
few can do that-it may be all
right. Some men have whitfield

not think great, connect ed

better not do it, as 1T makes litter

is the worst way to kill time.

he spends his spare hours. Out

every boy and every young man
has few hours every day outside

truly call his own. Now these
spare hours are a great gift. What
do you do with them? Do you
use them for yourself or against
yourself9 The days of youth are
numbered There are exactly so
many and no more. You cannot
afford to waste one day; not one
hour.
Your spare time is your most
valuable possession, because it g
the time during which you make
most of your mental and moral
growth. Put your best efforts into

think of che thing you would like

NUMBER so
OLD SOLDIERS.

Our ranks are growing thinner every year,
And death is still winner, every year;
Yet we still must stick together
Like the toughest kind Of leather
And in any kind Of weather. every year.
Our comrades have departed, every year,
And leave us broken. hearted. every years
But their spirits fondly greet us
And constantly entreat Us
To come that they might meet us. every year.
our steps are growing slower, every year;
Pale death is still mower, every year;
Yet We faced him in the battle.
Amid the musket's rattle
And dehed his final edict every year.
we are growing old and lonely, every year;
We have recollection only, every year:
And we bled for this grand nation
ON many field and station
And with any kind Of ration, every year
Many people may forget Us, every year,
And our enemies may fret us. every year;
But while onward we are drifting
Our soul, with hopes are lifting
TO heavenly scenes stll shifting every year.
In the maytme Of the flowers, every year,
We shall live in golden hours every year:
And our deed, be sung in story
Down the ages growing hoary
With blaze Of living glory, every year

ENGLAND Has Meat Scandal.

English meat sellers and packers
have not been slow to make capital
out of the American meat agita-
tion, and there is concentrated
effort on their part to drive Ameri-
can meat and canned goods from
the British market. On the other
hand, an official statement made by
DIR. F. Cooper, one of the foremost
authorities on foods in England,
asserted that English butchers and
packers decidedly are not in pc.
sitfon to criticise Americans. He
SAYS in England there is practical
ly no inspection of meat at all. DR..
Cooper claims there are hundreds
of tons of rotten meat sold in Lon
don every year. altogether,
think 1t is about time that this cry
in England about American goods
should be shown to come largely
from interested home dealers, who
are dishonest enough to take quick
advantage of the psychological
moment to run down and smash the
American legitimate trade"

Success may at times follow luck
OF chance; but it is sure to always
follow after faithful work. All
boys look toward their twenty
first birthday with longing eyes,
telling themselves what they are
going to do after that eventful
date. Yet many do not know that
what determines their success is
not what they will do after they
are twenty-ene, so much as what
they have done during their spare
hours before twenty one.
AS work goes on the farm, there
is always some work one likes, and
some which one dislikes. In the
end there is no choice as all must
be done during the days task.
But during the spare hours one
works for himself. Then one can
be himself and follow ones own
inclination. To do this best fol-
low a hobby. Have hobby. 1t
is a great mental stimulant. 1t
sets your mind to thinking and
working along one certain line.
You get interested in that one
thing more than anything else.
You begin to know more about it..
Tools are good company for a
boy. The boy who spends his spare
time with his tools spends it in
good company. Besides that boy
is building out of himself the sta :
ture of usefu! man. If you like
tools, work, save and plan for tools,
until you have them. The harder
you must work in order to get them
tue higher you will prize them and
the more you will like to use them.
On the farm the boy with a me-
chanical turn of mind daily has
opportunity to use his skill and
knowledge.
If it is books you like, and read
ing, save up for books. Read and
think about books. Soon your
judgment will be educst ted to val,
ne books according to their worth.
Never were good books cheaper
tnan at the present time. From
the day that Gutenberg, the first
printer, set into words his clumsy
type carved out of blocks of beech
wood, printing has become cheaper
and cheaper and more widely dis
tributed. Good books and maya
zines and papers have become &C.
cesslble to all men the world over.
The boy who perfers books in
quiet corner lie in good or in bad
company, depending on who wrote
the book. Yet book of any find
is better company than the congre-
gated wisdom at the store, the
station, or postoffice. Reading is
like someone talking to you. Why
should you not be as particular
about the quality of your reading
as about the kind of company you
keep. So in good reading you can
have the company OF the worlds
best writer's, teachers, travellers,
men successful in politics and in
medicine, law, farming, manu-
