An Old Boy Says So.

How many of our boys are thinking
OF the great things that they would
do If they only had a chance? Now,
boys. don't always walt for this
chance to come.
Do not dream and chafe at the COM
monplace surroundings that the farm
affords you, but strive to make your
own chance.
Do not neglect the homely duties
that are crowding about you in your
everyday life and always be waiting
for something to turn up so that you
may show that you are made of a
little better stuff than ordinary boys.
1t is all in the boy and not in the
chance, and the boy with the right
kind of stuff in him will seize the
first chance that comes to him. Op-
portunity seldom knocks at a boys
door, and when 1t does he should be
ready to grasp it.
Above all. do not feel above the
occupation and calling OF your pa
rents. Perhaps the old farm home
does not have the charm for you that
1t should, but do not be discouraged
and think Of leaving father and moth
er, but stop and think how you can
make it better and how you can make
it more pleasant and attractive and
how you can improve your chances
of finding some profitable occupation.
Above all. do something to improve
your leisure time.
The boys who are spending their
idle time about town are doing it be-
cause they have nothing to interest
them at home. They become lone
some and go to town to find company.
not at first to acquire bad habits, al
though these soon follow.
Try to find some occupation at
home that will prove pleasant and
profitable before you form desire to
spend your time in town. Take the
word Of an old boy for this. Samuel

The roosts for all the large breeds,
such as the American class, viz:
Rocks. Wyandottes, Reds. Brahmas,
Cochins and the like, should be made
low, and especially should this be the
case where you have board floors.
Many valuable fowl has been Sc
riously injured in the feet and legs
by flying down from high perchss.
This seldom occurs in the light or
laying breeds. but with them there is
no real virtue in having the roosts in
the top of the house, except for the
satisfaction the chicken derives in
seeing how high he can mount.
