A BOY AND HIS WORK

No one is thoroughly happy or doing
his best work if he is not doing tbs
work he wants to do or for which lie
has some special talent 1t should be
the parents duty to discover what this
talent is and to develop it all possible
From childhood up, he should oe
watched, and that which he shows
special ability or a preference for
should be encouraged.
The parent should not let his own
wishes in the matter interfere. He
should think of the boy, not of him
self
If the boy shows no decided prefer
ence, then as he grows older, he
should be led to think about the mat
ter. Judicious questioning and discus
sion may arouse an interest And it
is so important that boy find his
true work that no effort should be
spared to help him to do so. Many a
boy drifts from one JOB" TO another,
and finally becomes a e'er-do-well,
simply because he has never found
his right work. Did he once strike
this he would become useful and
happy.
The right of choice is surely the
boys. He is the one who must do ire
work, who must live his life in his
business. Therefore it should be one to
his taste. But there should be on the
part of the parents, wise supervision
and counsel and training, so that re
shall choose wisely. They all should
work together. The boy should not
be left entirely to his own devices
But the right of final decision should
be his.

WOMAN THE
STRONGER SEX
HE SAYS
(By Dorothy Dix

(By Dorothy Dix
: Professor Dudley Sargent, Harry,
ards gymnastic expert. and a we'll
known writer on matters pertaining tc
women's development, asserts thai
woman is, in reality, a great, big
rough, brutal savage instead of the
frail flower that she is popularity sup
posed to be.
| Professor Sergeant declares that w.
man isn't the weaker vessel, but the
stronger; and that she is made 81
tougher material than man. He as
serts that she can undergo many
strains that a man cannot, and that
when it comes to a case of withstand
ing cold hunger or thirst, or any ply
steal priyation, a woman will outlast
a man in nine cases out of ten.
The professor isn't talking about the
tall, large, Amazonian, athletic col
lege girl, either. He is speaking of Just
the plain, ordinary, common or garden
variety of women; and he is dead right
in saying that she's got more staying
powers than the ordinary man, and
that if the average man did half the
things in q day that the average wo-
man does, it would kill him.
Worse Than the Steel Mills.
I To begin with, no man can stand up
under as many hours work d day as
the ordinary woman does. 1t has been
asserted that the men who work from
twelve to fourteen hours a day in the
steel mills are old men at forty, but
every mother of family, in moderate
circumstances, works from sixteen to
eighteen hours a day and is still young
at sixty.

(By Barbara BOyd.)

When the boy is in his cradle-al-
though cradles are quite out of fash
ion now, so he's not likely to be in
One-but anyhow when he is in the
modern substitute for a cradle, the
mother has fond dreams of his some
I day being in the White House. Presi-
dent? Of course; nothing less will do.
And when the boy grows up and shows
10 disposition TO rise above the job he
has in the corner grocery store, she
is sometimes bitterly disappointed. Or,
perhaps, it is the father who has am
billions for the son which he firmly in
sists the son shall realize. And often,
il his ambitions are not positive IN
character, they are negative He may
not insist upon the boy doing certain
things. But he does insist that he
shall not do certain other things
How much of the choice as to what
boy shall do shall rest with the pa
rents? Shall they choose altogether,
shall they choose partly, or shall they
have nothing whatever to do with it
A certain mother is worrying her
self and her son sick in this matter
She wants the boy to be a lawyer. Ev-
identity, she has the White House Wis
ion. But the boy, now 20, really boy
no longer in one sense, has been offer
ed a fine position by an uncle in his
butter and egg business good sal
airy, partnership in a year, with the
possibility, for the uncle is unmarried,
! of the nephew's ultimately getting the
business. The boy is a practical sort
of a fellow, and he wants to take his
uncle's offer But his mother scorns
it. Her son sell butter and eggs,
Perish the thought! And the boy, who
thinks a lot of his mother, yet has
sense enough to have a keen business
eye to the future, is distracted. He IS
! in the West now recovering from a
nervous breakdown brought on by the
family dissension.
Another boy, tall blue-eyed, loking
as if he came of the race of the Vik-
ings, longs for the sea His father
will hear none Of it. He has him
chained, so to speak, to an Office chair.
And the boy is eating his heart out.
On the other hand, there are par
ents, who, so their boys get positions
or Jobs, as the case may be, give no
further thought to the matter All
they are anxious for is that their boys
earn living. How they earn it does
not concern them.
None of these, it owlud seem, is the
wise or just course. 1t is hardly right
to thrust a profession or an occupa-
ton upon boy, as one thrusts him
into long trousers On the other hand
the boys welfare is not being consid-
cred as it should be when no thought
is given by the parents as to the life
work he shall do.

Aroostook Potatoes Look Well.

According to G. Fred Snow, special
agent Of the Bangor & Aroostook rail-
road, who has just returned home from
tour along the line, Aroostook potato
fields never looked better to him than
those of the present season and he is
optimistic of good sized crop this fall if
weather conditions are right. Speaking
of the financial results Of the last sea-
son, Mr.. Snow said that he believed they
would not be as bad as they have been
painted. He stated that potato prices
a last fall were low-fromi5O to 60 cents
barrel-because the western crops turned
out better than at first anticipated and
the market was flooded with potatoes
of all sizes and conditions. Recently,
however, prices for the remainder of the
crop have scared until now they are
around So and $22 barrel. While last
year and the year before will generally
be put down as poor years, Mr.. Snow
said he believed the final wind-up of
last falls crop would tend to bring po-
tato growers out nearer even than at
first expected.

RAISING THE FEED AT HOME.
How Maine Poultryman Makes a Prof
from His Hen Yards.

from His Hen Yards.
[John E. Taylor, Skowhegan, Me, in the
Tribune Farmer.l
W. H. Boynton Of Somerset county,
Me-, is operating with marked success a
real poultry farm. Instead of trying to
operate large plant on little ground,
under sufficiently high pressure to pay
the grain bill, he let's the sale of poultry
and eggs represent the products of his
soil, and consequently makes tidy profit
every year, no matter where the prices
go. There are few cows, some garden
truck, small fruits and other cash crops,
too, but the hens are the mainstay through
it all.
Mr.. Boynton's farm is close to the
kennebec river, and the soil is rich sandy
loan that grows grain of all kinds to
perfection. From field containing only
little over four acres he harvested
four hundred bushels of oats last year,
for which he was awarded prize by the
county agricultural society. He grows
buckwheat and corn, too, and has decid-
ed to try some winter wheat again next
year. These grains, with cabbages and
raw potatoes for green feed in winter.
and the skim milk from the cows, keep
the eggs coming along at satisfactory
rate.
Incubators do all the Matching, and as
result OF last years experience Mr..
Boynton has discarded everything but
five metal mothers. The little fellows
are all raised with fireless brooders, and
the combination coops and yards that &c
with them give good results that give
good accounts of themselves later. The
coops are 2 by IL feet, while the yards
are 3 IL by 6 feet, giving ample space
for from thirty to fifty chicks each. One
of the best features of the outfit is the
wind shield of builders's paper on one
side and end.
Mr.. Boynton grows sweet corn for the
canning factory, and the late Matched
chicks have the field to run in, and the
May and June pullets do so well there
that Mr.. Boynton hardly cares whether
they come off in April or not. By pro-
longing the Matching season he finds il
easier to carry along the other farm
work and also to breed only from CLOSELY
selected stock.
AS charter member and director in the
Somerset Poultry Producers '.,Associatior
the markets his eggs comparatively. Quo
tations have been rather low this spring,
but with the coming of hot weather anc
the seasonal check in production better
figures are expected.
Small fruits on this farm have proved
to be satisfactory side line, and the
trees are all given the mulch system Of
cultivation. Mr.. Boynton takes the ole
litter from the hen houses, and aftel
cultivating between the rows of shrubs
few times, puts on deep layer. The
yields and quality of the currants ant
raspberries resulting from this treatmen
have marked effect upon the cash in
come. Mr.. Boynton keeps no books t.
show what his profits are, but he Away
pays cash for everything he buys, own
his farm free and clear, and has steadi
ly growing balance in the bank.
