for the way in which plants
spread from one country to
another, and yet no such emigra-
ton has taken place but the
botanists have been able to adj
vance some theory to account for
it. In the early seventies of the
last century the scientists in
France were puzzled by finding
that many new plants hitherto
unknown in that country had
mysteriously sprung up. In the
summer of 1872 noted botanists
went carefully to work to find
the cause of this strange emf
grafton, and they succeeded adj
mirably. They found no fewer
than two hundred plants natural
to Germany and the countries
south of her; these plants were
mostly of the grass, pea and
bean families and found only in
the territory occupied by the
Germans in the seige of Paris.
This is a good example of the
strange way in which plants
travel from place to place."

THEY KEEP BOYS ON
THE FARMS OF N

In the current issue of Farm
and Preside John Leslie Simp-
son writes an article about the
cooperation between parents
and sons-particularly in Kan
sas, where the Importance of
keeping boys on the farms is
well recognized. Following is
extract from the article:
THE Kansas boy sees to it
that the boy has a certain
amount of recreation and pleas
ure scattered through his days
of toll.
The son of the Krnsas farm
er is trained along financial lines
from childhood up, SO when he
is ready to start the serious road
of manhood and responsibility
he doesn't have to plunge in the
water, so to speak, without
knowing how to swim a stroke.
"A Kansas farmer who had
become fairly well off by his
own efforts trained his boy
along these lines. When the
was twelve years old he
gave him a pair of colts, the boy
to take care Of them, and help
with the other work to pay for
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-04-04

their feed. When the boy was
sixteen the colts had grown into
fine team of work horses. The
boy now had some pigs, calves,
ETC., besides the team, and took
a real interest in the farm and
the work. By the time he was
nineteen years old he had nearly
enough equipment to farm for
himself. He bought another
horse with money he had made
working for neighbors, got some
tools and sets of harness, and
rented twenty-five acres of land
from a neighbor. He helped
with the work at home, and
farmed a little for himself.
Later he rented a quarter sec
ton of land. At twenty-one he
has a full set of farming tools,
horses, etc., and has landed
squareIy on his feet. Next
year he will farm the home place
on shares. Here is a good ex-
ample Of how Kansas farmers
save their boys"

Are they feverish, restless,
nervous, irritable, dizzy or con-

pick their nose or grind their

of worms. Worms not only
cause your child suffering. but
stunt its mind and growth. Give

worms, improves your child's

WHY FARMERS OUGHT TO
BE COMMENTED.

In the current issue of Farm
and Fireside a contributor, writ
ing about the bulletins which the
experimental stations are send
ing out all the time, says:
What gives farming its worst
black eye is 80 many farmers be-
ing disconnected with their lot,
especially young farmers. What
they need is to be shown that
they've got a good thing-a
mighty sight better thing than
most men. Why can't we have
some bulletins along that line?
I don't mean so much bulletins
full of figures as bulletins with
pictures In them. And by pic
lures / don't mean SO much draw
ing and photographs as writing
that is alive with sympathy and
feeling, all about the conditions
in cities, what people put up
with there, how they have to
pinch and scrape and do without
so much that a man was never
made to do without. It seems to
me one of your clever pen-push-
ers might go down into almost
any city and by reporting only
what he sees there get up a bull
letin that would make the aver
age farmer think he was just
about in heaven after ALL

Farm and Fireside says:
The good-roads movement

Of a greater amount of money on
the roads in the last year than
ever before. In 1904 the to-
tai sum expended on public roads
in the United States was about
$50, 900, 600. In 1918 it was
more than $3.50, O00, 900. The
greatest progress in road-build-

which a part or all of the money

now on is to see that the money
