What to Teach the Boys.

\ philosopher has said that true
education 10 boys is to teach them
what they should know when they
become men
/ To be true and to be genuine
No education is worth anything that
does not include this
. To be pure in thought. language
and lite-pnre in mind and in body.
> To be unselfish. To care for the
feelings and comforts of others. To
be generous. noble and manly This
Will include a genuine reverence for
the aged and for things sacred
{ To be self-reliant and self-help
full. even from childhood To be in.
dustrious always. and self supporting
at the earliest proper age Teach
them that all honest work in honor.
able, that an idle life of dependence
on others is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these four
things. when he has made these ideas
a part of the being-however poor, OF
however richie has learned the
most important things he ought to
know when lie becomes man.

Justice to All.

Truth never contradicts itself
Neither does justice ever come into
conflict with justice Whatever condi-
tions are Just 10 the farmer can be
no less than just TO all men. No man
is wronged. Right is right and
wrongs no man On the other hand,
whatever is less than justice to the
farmer is less than justice to all men
who participate in the inequality
less than justice even to the specula-
tor and the capitalist. who wax fat off
the farmers toll. II is true they 60
not object to the injustiee-they like
it-but it is a fact that people who
submit 10 wrong conditions do injus.
tice 10 their oppressors as well as to
their children What is more TO the
point is the thought that all honest
men-all who want justice, no less.
no more, whether farmer or laboring
man. can Join hands as brothers In
the noble work of accomplishing hu.
manity.s freedom Moreover, one class
unaided is not equal TO the job-each
needs the other. Whatever is JUS.
tice for one is justice for the other.
Injustice the same No man liyeth to
himself-likewise no class. The farm.
er cannot achieve justice for himself

How Farmers Saved a Business
House.

An interesting case where a business
house selling implements 10 farmers
and receiving four and six months
notes in payment, was saved early
this year by the makers of these
notes. came recently 10 the knowledge
of the writer of this That business
house found itself without sufficient
ready cash 10 meet its maturing obi
cations, but was in possession of farm
ers' notes varying from $l00 to $500
and amounting 10 almost s44 eco all
in all. The banks refused at that time
TO discount those notes received in
payment for orders secured by adver.
Using. When the advertising agent
of the firm called for the payment
of his monthly bill he was surprised
to receive an offer of four months
note in payment of II. instead of the
usual check with which the firm used
TO settle its monthly advertising ac-
count for number of years The
advertising agent suggested 10 the
manager of that firm to appeal to the
farmers to take up their notes be-
fore maturity. by offering them a dis
count of per cent. This suggestion
struck the manager as a splendid one
with the result that within twenty
four hours a letter was mailed to the
farmers whose notes the firm held de
seribing the conditions of the larger
cities, the difficulty Of getting even
good notes discounted by banks and
offering a discount Of > percent to all
willing 10 take their notes up before
maturity. Within one week every one
of those notes but Two amounting to
$3.50. We're redeemed b the farmers.
The replies came in quicker than eN-
pected Not only this. but number
of farmers offered 70 buy more imple-
ments for cash i acceptable terms
could be offered Only Two farmers
did NOT reply and the reason OF it
was. as was learned later. that they
had gone with their wives 10 Cali
fornia
This case shows what wealth the
farming population has accumulated;
how eager il is TO take advantage of
conditions and what market there is
now for those seeking patronage for

kind of advertising in desirable agri-
cultural papers.=Guenther journal.

Pig Money in Waste Land.

The woven wire, fence is reyolu-
tionizing the hog industry in the whole
country. and when farmers learn TO
utilize every bit Of waste land for pas
ture for their hogs the herds will be
healthy and the cost of production will
be decreased many dollars. It won't
do 10 allow the pigs to lie in the shade
of the corn cribs or TO allow them
only a run of pasture. Feed lite
corn all OF the time that the pigs are
running in the pasture. The grass
grown pig does not appear so attrac-
tive with his working clothes on, but
when he is we'll developed and ready
TO be fitted he makes the pampered
pets look like 80 cents. He makes a
ane appearance and is a credit 10 his
owner and feeder.

Milk Trust in Trouble.

From evidence obtained by the
states attorney of Chicago, it seems
pretty well settled that the big milk
companies have divided up the eoun-
try in that section and apportioned
each slice to a member of the trust.
Farmers testified that ne TWO eompan-
les operated in the same town and
that prices We're fixed by the milk
companies in every case and never
by the farmers The only consolation
the farmers get out Of it is that there
seems to be a faint possibility that

time be introduced 70 the inside of
