TIE NAPOLEONS OF FARMING.

Attorney General Charles ]. Bona
parte, owns several farms in Mary
land aggregating about three thousand
acres. Besides attending to the duties
of his Office as Acknowledgement at
Washington, D. c., and his law prac-
tice in Baltimore he thoroughly sup
cruises these various farms in the
most successful manner.
To read of the success with which
Mr.. Bonaparte has met is an inspira-
ton to any farmer. His principal farm
is the one on which he resides four
months each year and consists of three
hundred acres known as Bella Vista"
Here he has splendid buildings, and
magnificent residence in which his
family lives during the summer months
and every Saturday, no matter what
the weather conditions may be he goes
over the entire farm with his manager,
consulting, suggesting and comment
ing in Connection with every detail of
the work.
He is deeply interested in stock and
keeps only the best and drives horses
only in their prime, for when they
become too slow to suit his taste for
driving he puts them to some other
use for which they are better adapted
and when horse becomes old and
broken down he places it in a fine
pasture and lets it live retired life.
This is but one instance of many
successful farmers, but it serves to
show that the most successful farm
ers are not those who break down their
health by hard physical labor. Farm
ing like every other occupation re-
quires "born leader" Every detail
must receive the closest attention.
One must have time to closely inspect
and look into everything to see that
there is noewaste to consume profits.
To more fully illustrate the point
in view we quote an instance that
came under our own observation. A
very strong young man who up to the
age of nineteen had not laid up
dollar, because he had not stopped to
consider that some time he would he
too old to work, was demonstrating his
great strength one day by lifting the
hind end of separator when he in
jured his spine and was crippled for
life. He had occasion to halt and re-
fleet He bought farm on crop pay
ment plan and employed laborers to
perform the work. He inspected and
directed the work and at thirty-five
years of age owned nice half-section
with fine buildings, fine stock and
lived In luxury. He had his horse
hitched to his private ,run-about every
morning the first chore after break
fast and tied to hitching post in a
shed provided for this purpose. II he
wanted to drive out to inspect any
part of the farm or to go to town on

schooling begins and, if old enough,
! he spends portion of his time in the
shops where trades are taught.
This bad boy problem is one that
many parents and teachers have tried
to solve for years and We think all
will agree that there are comparatively
few boys who will not walk straight
after getting the right direction, and
parents and teachers, too often, are
the ones who fail to put them on the
right path.
We are too apt to give the boy,
who has two good turns to one bad
one, the worst of it. If he accidently
stumhles few times, by playing
hockey, or some other trivial offence,
he is expelled from school by the
teacher. The unsympathetic parent
has forgotten his own youthful pranks
and brands him "ungovernable," so
he is sent off to the reform school for
a year to bring him to his senses. Is
he an obedient child or even a good
boy when he returns? We all know
the usual outcomeN
True, this is not a common every
day occurrence, but if the Juvenile
Asylum can make good men out of
such boys by pleasant home. confluence,
good associations and strict rules of
instructions, why then should it not
be the duty of every parent to do
likewise, at home?
The public is so firmly convinced of
the good work done at this asylum
| that each year many private contribu-
parents of hayward boys. Words of
| praise and appreciation are continual
| ly sent in and many well-to-do par
ents gladly pay the full cost for the
privilege of having their mischiev-
ious sons subjected to the methodical
reformation at Chauncey.
But this institution is intended
for the less fortunate children who
comprise the greater part of prisoners
found in the childeren's court, who
need new start in life under bet
ter guiding hand that they may be-
come honest, self-respecting men.
While the cost of making good men
out of hayward boys has increased be-
cause of the new system of surround
ing them with home influences, the
valuable results cannot be measured
in dollars and cents and though we
all have not access to the Chauncey
school, it would be we'll and easy to
practice Chauncey principles in our
homes and public schools.

eral public is directly interested, be-
lieves the matter of good roads should
be thoroughly discussed before any
definite action be taken and to this
end is seeking information from every
available source and will endeavor to
create public discussion of the plans
for future pavement Of our city streets.
That the block system has proved ex-
pensive and quite unsatisfactory we
believe no one will deny. What
course we should pursue in the future
should not be experimental for there
are cities with good substantial sani-
tary pavements and careful investi-
cation of such should put our pave
ment committee in possession of suf-
ficient data to proceed reasonably
safe in this natter In conclusion
this distinguished Scotchman says:
A good road must be smooth, easily
kept clean, free from railway lines,
durable, having surface contributing
as little as possible to noiseiness, free
from dust and mud and of such make
that it can be repaired piecemeal so as
to be kept in good repair at all times
and not, as at present to be repaired
either by compelling the vehicles to
go over bed of sharp stones or by
blocking the traffic for weeks at a
time at place where block is most
convenient.
Permenacy should be specific con-
sideration. The possibility of using
local material to avoid excessive
freight rates in shipping in, should
be wisely considered. The city now
owns its own sand pit from which it
gets sand for liberation purposes and
as large amount of sand is hauled
in each year to replace the sand taken
out the feasibility of using the sand
removed from the filter each year in
the construction OF new pavement
should be matter worthy of some
consideration.
The Evening Times favors the
building of good roads, believing this
a matter of prime Importance to the
surrounding county as we'll as to every
citizen of Grand Forks. The beautiful
streets of Spokane are the admiration
of every person who goes there and
nothing contributes more to the build.

this city should pay royalty on some

crete making who could be en-
ployed to oversee the construction of

to be the best for Grand Forks.
