that when real small teach them to
work. even if You have to do the work
over after them, and teach them to be-
come interested in helping for there is
no child that has too much ambition.
Taking Boys in Partnership on the
Farm" First, from fathers stand
point, Mr.. Kentfeld said he thinks, first
find out what occupation his boy likes
and is interested in When quite small

own. Give him the proceeds when
sold. If he likes farming, take him in
as partner and help him all you can.

ly dealt with and grows up around the
small stock he will most generally stick
on the farm. q. B. Cook that If boy
stays on the farm one should give him
deed of some land They are more
interested and work better. but not all
boys want to be farmers.

Wallace said he thought the topic had
been pretty we'll talked over, although
he read a very nice paper with lots of
good ideas, which we all enjoyed.

Would College Education be of
Any Advantage to the Boy on the

make better children and they think
more OF you.

ular.

ter, and could be better yet, providing

quor. Others thought it whole lot
better.
''How to Train Horse to Drive or
Work. G. B. Cook said best let some
good horse breaker take the driver and
break it 30 that his wife and family can
drive it. and would break the work
horse himself by teaching it a few
things at time. then hitch it up with
some good work horse and seldom
would there be any trouble.

doubt will be elected.
