CHANCE FOR AMBITIOUS BOY
Farming Offers Great Advantage for

Boys, do you know that you all wifi
be men some day? We hope you Will
grow up to be good men; that is, men
that will be worth something to your.
self and to others.
Men that are worth something to
themselves and to others are those
who have learned to do something
and to do it we'll In order to learn
to do things we'll one must get knowl-
edge through actual experience, not
by seeing other people do things.
I should like to see every farmer
boy become good farmer. There is
no better occupation. The farm offers
great advantages for success, and
farm life is 8 splendid life.
And 1t Is. growing better as the
years go by The boy who learns to
farm right today will be a big man
tomorrow. He will have more ad-
vantages than the average business or
professional man.
Begin to farm on your own hook
while you are still a boy. Take up
some line Of farming and work it
out. Make it pay. You can do it.
Your parents will help you to start
If you show them that you mean bust
ness, and are going to stick to it. Tell
them your plans and begin.
The writer began farming when he
was twelve years old!!f Ee started with
chickens and made a failure at first.
He then took up gardening and made
it pay.
He shipped choice vegetables to a
city and got good money for them.
Then he took up poultry again and
added 1t to his gardening and made
both pay. Nobody helped him.
Choose something you like and be-
gin. Raise chickens or pigs or sheep.
If you like to work with plants, grow
vegetables or small fruit.

On a little patch of strawberries one
summer. ANY boy can grow string or
lima beans and there is always good
market for them.

MEMORY A MATTER OF HABIT
Forsetfulness Arises Largely From
Special Kind of Laziness-Mental
Training Needed.

Memory, according to psychologists.
Is a good deal matter Of habit, and
lack of it arises largely from a spe-
cial kind Of laziness. We see the truth
OF this, remarks too Bellman, when
we observe the proRsyious memories
Of some OF the men o. letters a CEN
fury ago. and then compare their edu-
cation with the system OF teaching
which now prevails. When we won
der at their ability to quote offhand
at almost any length, we must remem-
Der from their earliest days they were
taught to memorize. They had to
learn things by heart, and learn them
exactly, with the result that in child
hood they formed, perfogs,s, the habit
of remembering with absolute pre-
cision.
What we need no. adays is a sort of
mental training analogous to this old
er schooling. Let us by all means
keep our filing cases and memoran-
dunn pads, but let us at the same time
keep our memories active by making
them work. The simple process of
committing poetry to memory, futile
as 1t may seem to some, is one Of the
most useful kinds of intellectual ex-
ercise. And If we do not before long
make general use Of some such stimu-
lus, it begins to look as though our
memories would join our appendices
as now useless relics of an earlier
stage of existence.

novel Of that name. When twelve
years old Earl became lncapacitated
with necrosis Of the bone, for which
there is no specific, and both his legs
were amputated at the hips. He lay
in bed six weeks and then he began
the laborious task of learning to walk
by means of his hands. In less than
three weeks he was doing farm work,
and today he can hook or unlock a
team, ride horse, drive gang plow,
cultivator, or binder, and do almost
any other farm work except gather
corn. Recently he built and rooted a
henhouse without assistance.
