PETS FOR THE GROWING BOY
Rabbits, Pigeons and Especially Ban
tam Chickens Are Dear to
Heart of Developing Lad.

tBy PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE3
Farming might be defined as the
art Of producing valuable crops from
the soil and disposing Of these soil
products in profitable manner. This
definition Is lame, accidentally, but
it carries our idea.
The backyard farmer must include
erations. as the pecuniary profits he
derives are of much less Importance
than the identifying of his surround
ings and Of the lives of his entire fam
lily. No intelligent person can live
amid beautiful ennobling scenes with
out being Influenced for the better,
even though it be unconsciously. In
the same manner, bare, sterile, unin-
terestlng homes tend to have an ad.
veres effect upon their Inhabitants,
which will affect them throughout
their entire lives.
Thoughtful people are realizing
more and more that unless the mind
Is IN sympathy with nature, unless
the garden Of each persons inner self
Is fertile and responsive to cultiva-
don, there is small hope of better
1nent from outside influence. The
adult mind which has been denied
helpful influences may become imper-
vious to them in time, but the hope Of
the race lies in his children.
The child's mind is fertile gar
den, which cannot produce Its own
flowers and fruit, but which responds
readily to the treatment 1t receives,
and bears fruit or evil weeds accord
ing to what we plant therein and how
it is cultivated.
One of the most beautiful and hope
full things about the whole scheme o.
creation is. to our mind, the fact that
every normal child Is born square
with the world He inherits neither
his parents bodily or mental diseases.
But from the instant he first cries,
his future depends almost absolutely
upon the care he receives.
Parents Of children have wonderful
opportunity to better themselves and
the entire world by making their own
children better than their parents.
physically and mentally. This is the
only way we have OF repaying to our
parents their sufferings and depriva-
tons in bringing us to manhood and
womanhood.
There comes time In every boys
life when the childish amusements no
longer suffice, and he seeks interests
out of doors. This Is the time when
the mother ceases to have an eye on
his every movement and he begins AZ
associate with other boys of his own
age. but of totally different bringing
up. in many cases.
AS far as possible, your boy should
be kept under observation at this
time, as he is at the crucial stage
Make his home more interesting ana
have his playmates there. SO that you
can see that he is associating with
helpful children, rather than harmful
ones.
Nothing serves to make home inter.
esting to boys at this age SO much IS
pets Of their own. 1t Is calamity ao
have a boy grow up without having
owned q dog Of his own.
Rabbits, pigeons and especially ban
tam chickens. are dear to the Heart
of the developing lad, and he is just
as much entitled to the helpful com.

HOW A GARDEN MOLE LIVES
Appetite, Feeding Entirely on
Earthworms, Grubs and Insects.

Moles feed entirely on earth worms,
burrowing grubs, and on insects, and
have remarkable appetite, together
with love, passion and hatred in en-.
ergy and voracity.
They are built particularly strong,
full of muscle, and have a hand, spade
like, supplied with claws, making a
capital digging machine.
In observing a mole when put on
the ground after being caught, it will
Immediately plunge its sharp snout in

The dipping should be thorough and

FEW PRACTICAL FARM HINTS

Crops That Are Profitable.

Did you ever realize that the field
that will grow an immense crop OF
big strong weeds will likewise grow a
good crop Of farm produce IL the soil
is rightly taken care Of? Weeds use
plant food just as much rs corn or
small grain.
Tho weed is the one crop that
never stops growing. IL Is right on
the job from spring until fall and it
doesn't need much cultivation either.
Potatoes should never be handled
with iron forks or shovels. II any
tools are used they should be made of
wood, because the least abrasion of
the skin will often start decay.
