A Boys Motives

A boy is more apt to have fairly
good motives than false ones. He
starts out in life with something IN
him that win grow into sense of
right, and, if he gets tangled, it will
be because he is taught it, through the
eye OF the ear or in both ways. II
a boys motives are entirely bad, he
is seldom, if ever, entirely to blame
for it. There is reason. It may be,
in fact, a case of atavism, in which
he has gone back and appropriated
the fetid tastes of some vile ancestor
and his parents were not wise enough
to protect him against the ravages OF
the atavistic beast.
At the outset, we must concede the
difficulty of knowing exactly what a
boys motives are, for his deepest,
most dominant motive is often tangled
with superficial, secondary and tenn
porar'y ones; and these may be so
complex and active as to discourage
us. How we can ever detach the real
motive from this tangle of impulses
and make 1t the dominant thing Is
the problem II he asks you ques-
ton, you are never sure Of his pur-
pose. 1T may be fun or fancy or an
evasion of duty
Two Things encourage us. One Is
that these surface motives are not the
deepest things about him. They are
not the symptoms of anything bad,
but of a new stage that he has
reached, when new forces of the body
and faculties of the mind are being
released He hardly knows what hurts
him, but something is keeping his eyes
wide open and his nerves all jumping
The other encouragement is that
these are the curious ways in which
his very deepest and truest nature is
finding itself His devotion o the
gang is the spirit Of loyalty start
ing toward universal brotherhood; his
fondness for contests is the first exh1-
bition of the warrior instinct getting
ready to fight the good fight Of faith;
his Bohemianism, an incipient cosmo-
pclitanisn; his local attachments. the
prelude to patriotism; his battles for
hts partners, the forerunners of his
battles In the higher interest OF his
fellow men.
His motives will need several things.
First of all they must be discovered
and recognized by the older people.

He and His Habits
~ DR. .kJRTLH

A boy needs quite number Of hab-
Its, and he must have them, if he
ever expects to be much of a boy,
or to become man. His body needs
the habit of turning food into blood
and then blood into boy. His mind
needs the habit of turning sights and
sounds into truth and character. His
memory is to be merely the good hab-
1t OF holding on to what he has
learned. His morals, at any time,
are very largely the sum of his hab-
Its in learning and practising truth
and right. When nature equipped
him with the power of forming hab-
Its, she did him great kindness. for,
without the reinforcement they bring,
he would be no farther along the day
he dies than he was the day he was
born, 7 i that power which makes
1t easier to do Z thing the second
than the first time, still easier each
subsequent time, till. by and by. the
thing almost does itself
1t really may have a deterrent eff
feet on him to know that he can get
used to lying and stealing and drink
ing and doing every kind of badness
and become more and more skillful at
1t and more Injured to 1t, through the
help of habit. Then he will keep his
eye on the dangerous thing And he
can more grow lazy and shiftless and
cruel and selfish, or avaricious, when
he once starts at it, till he becomes a
bundle Of vicious habits. Let him
know this and also know that he can
start in the right lines and form hab-
its that will be a propeller and a pro-
lection and form his most valuable
asset The great DR.. Broadus used to
say to his students practise makes
perfect-bad practise makes perfect
ly bad"
A boy has to have help, at first, in
initiating his habits for he is likely
to start some wrong ones. He gets
the muscular habit Of walking from
seeing others walk and from the
guidance and support Of hands that
show him how to take the first step
He will need some habits, after
awhile, that he does not ROW know
he will need and Will not start, I'M
less some one gets him at it in di-
receive way. And he VIII get some
to going that he will find "a great in
jury to him, but he does not know
it now; and the most serious thing
about it is that he will find 1t diff
cult to ever get rid of them, at ALL
Yet it does seem easy sometimes to
give up good habits, while the cor
rection of bad ones is one Of the
hardest things ever attempted. It
seems no task to grow crooked teeth

and l acted like one" That discloses
reason why aaboy's best must be
recognized. Tos r1bute bad motive
for the freakisE land prankish ways
of boy is one way of making them
bad, while the surest way to make
them good is to consider them SO
and let him know that you do.
His motives will also need protec-
ton. Those that are temporary, like
temporary teeth, may be treated in q
way to disfigure him for life; in fact,
the temporary may be made the per
manent by false treatment A brutal
attempt to suppress the outflow OF his
tumultuous nature may make it I'M
growing, may bottle it up to be emit
ter, all his life, in inopportune ways.
The war-whoop may become ma1ig-
nant, If It is not allowed to come out
in all its innocence. The genuine good
will must be allowed to effervesce In
its own way, as a protection to his
whole nature.
His motives will also need infection
from without, so as to correct and
complete them. Our growth is al
ways by expansion from within and
infection from without. II one wants
to get yellow fever, he only needs to
let some ambitious mosquito bore into
his cuticae, with a bill that has been
dipped in a cauldron Of germs, and
crawl over him with feet that have a
good assortment of germs clinging to
them Then the victim is ready for
the worst One can also have health
infection, as in antitoxin and in the
infusion of pure fresh blood from
some one. Judge Baldwin of Oak
Park gave his invalid daughter some

Importance that boys motives be
frequently purified by fresh infusions
of motives Of the highest kind.
When he is thus assisted, direction
will be needed more than correction.

reformation; 6 the former is right.
the latter will not be necessary. To
discover his best motives, to dfscrim-
mate them from the secondary and
temporary, to direct them in righteous
and rational ways-this In some ones
high and inescapable duty.
One thing more, and it cannot be
said too frequently and forcibly, he
must have concrete instance of the
very best motives that can be pro
duced and must find them in those
people who. because Of their natural
relationship to him and their personal
attractions for him, are charged with
sacred responsibilities for hfm-thosa

FEW RATlONs FOR FATTENING
Agricultural Experiment. Station OF
Pennsylvania Gives Combinations
Worked Successfully.

The agricultural experiment station
Of the Pennsylvania State college sug-
gests the following grain rations for
fattening poultry, as having been used
with success by them. Where yellow
flesh is wanted, ration should be
made of cornmeal, five parts; ground
oats (hulls removed) two parts; ami
NAL meal, one part. Mixed with sour
milk Where a whittier flesh is want
ed, the following rations are recon-
mended. Cornmeal, two parts, ground
buckwheat, two parts; ground oats,
two parts. Mixed with sour milk. An
other, barley meal, two parts; mid
dlfngs, TWO parts, buckwheat, two
parts; cornmeal, one part. Mixed
with sour milk Another, the refuse
from shredded wheat and sour milk.
When birds are confined for fatten-
lng sour milk aids digestion and
keeps the system from getting fever
lsh, If no milk is available, some
form of animal or green food must be
supplied to make the best gains.
Should a chicken, for any reason, get
off its food, a good plan is to turn 1t
out in the yard. It will usually re-
cover in short time. Water should
be given once a day and grit twice a
week. The rations should be fed rath-
er soft, about like porridge. The food
should never remain before them from
one meal to another. Take it away
20 minutes after feeding.

Keep the young chicks out of the

Corn, with nothing else, is the
greatest cause of no eggs.
Artificial incubation in recent years
haas assumed large proportions.
Overlooking causes chicks to be in

The very best rule Is to watch the
fowls and feed about all they will

The material used in preparing the

Ducks are very dirty about the wa

unfit for chickens.
If you cannot get one this year, get

Fowls require the equivalent Of
about q pounds of dry feed for each

Hens require plenty of green food.
as well as room for exercise, in addi-
ton to liberal grain feeding.
A hen that is laying an egg every
other day will consume considerably
more food than one that is not laying

Chickens and ducklings bred from
immature stock have not the same
vigor as those whose parents were
full grown.
The unsanitary conditions of the
coops is the cause Of the mortality Of
thousands upon thousands of chicks
every season.
Apply kerosene to the roosts with q
cloth or swab twice week during the
summer or warm weather to kill the
red spider lice.
There are almost as many ways and
methods of feeding and caring for tur-
keys are there are localities where
they are grown.
Frequently cleaning and disinfect-
ing OF all the poultry quarters means
less trouble and more profits Use
carbolated whitewash freely.

To Make Fruit Jar Rubbers Last.
To have fruit jar rubhers last, keep
them well covered in a jar full OF
-four until used, and as soon as re-
moved from empty jars. One can
then afford good quality of rubbers,
as kept thus they will safely last sew
eral seasons. When there is doubt OF
old rubbers, they may often be made
to exc out one more season by using
two of the rubbers to each jar and
screwing down tight. Always stand
newly filled jars upside down until
cool, to test the tops and ruhhers. -
