and to give him definite purposes IA,
an important period in his life.'
z. To furnish to the aggressive, pro-
gressive rural schoolteacher an oppor-
tunity to vitalize the work of the
school by correlating the teaching of
agriculture with actual practice.
The aim Of the boys club work is
the same as that among men-viz, to
secure the adoption Of better methods
of farming and greater yields at less
cost. Many of the boys in the clubs
who begin to study agriculture in this
way will continue the study in the az
ricultural colleges; others will con-
tinue such efforts on their farms. and
all OF them will make more useful and
more efficient citizens. From the pleas
ant and profitable experience Of own
ing and managing their small plats.

telligent farmers.

ARE ALL MEN "MATEABLEw

These violent delights have violent ends.
And in their triumph die like fire and
powder,
Which. as they kiss, consume. The sweet
est honey
Is Ioathsome in its own deliciousness,
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore. love moderately; long love
doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
Because you see a man is single,
don't jump at the conclusion that he is
waiting to fall in love with some sweet
woman. He may not be mate for
one reason or another.
He may have a heart like an omni-
bus, always room for one more in it.
Therefore he's not to be appropriated
by any particular one. Business may
absorb him to such an extent that he
finds more pleasure in looking over
his books and accounts from early
morning until the wee sma' hours than
he would in having wife to claim
part of his attention. Then, again, he
may be a man subject to attacks of
old love dreams; forswearing love of
all womankind because he had loved
and lost in his early youth or had been
the victim of an unwise affection.
Few men have to run the gamut of
youth to their middle thirties without
coming in contact with some one wom-
an whom they could love had they con-
sidered it advisable after long and
earnest thought.
The single man who will not WOO or
wed, be he bachelor or widower,
knows what he is about, having his
own good reasons. Hence, let him
alone if you would not incur his secret
enmity by inviting him to call, if you
are a manageable woman and taking
an interest in him.
No man is so busy that he hasn't
time to think of some fair-faced wom-
an. If his heart is touched, that di-
ciety. The most bashful country youth
that ever lived knows how to tell his
love to the girl who has struck his
fancy. No man is too diffident to ask
a woman to marry him if ne really
wants her Most women think that
the wealthy single man should marry
when they see poor young men taking
wives unto themselves, though it costs
them an effort to stretch out their in
come to cover the expenses of two.
The rich man, more often than not,
imagines that every woman who looks
at him has an eye to his fortune His
belligerent nature is aroused, and he
filings to the winds all temptation to
love and wed.
Nine times out of ten the man who
is considered unmateable has loved
too we'll some tickle sweetheart, who
has welded another. This is the Sc
cret of many a mans keeping single
who the world believes was born
heartless.
If the unmateable men have their
heart trouble and secret romances, it
is better not to attempt to pry into
them. Gentleness, womanliness and
sympathy will be much more of a mag
net to draw him toward a woman than
for her to attempt to make target of
his heart, interesting Cupid to dart his
arrows his way in her behalf. Few
women are clever enough to discern
the men that are mateable and those
who are not. Those who seek wom-
ems society can always be charmed
into matrimony.

CITY VERSUS COUNTRY BOYS
Prizes of City Life Hold No Allure.
ments for Metropolitan Lad
Not Worth Striving For.

Speaking of the curious fact that
city boys seem to have greater phys
ical stamina than country boys, there
is also the Civil war tradition that it
was the city boys who stood priva-
tions, long marches and other physical
strains better than the country boys.
What makes the country boy out
strip his city competitor must be his
ambition to win the prizes of city
life which dangle so alluringly before
his eyes, whereas to the familiar vi
sion of the city boy they appear as
mere matters of course, hardly worth
having and certainly not worth ex-
ceeding strife and self,sacrifice.

The principal objects to be attained
through the promotion of boys agri-
cultural clubs in the South, as defined
by those in charge of this work, are:
1. To encourage and train boys
along the lines of the activities of
country life.
2. To put into practice the facts of
scientific agriculture obtained from
books, bulletins, etc.
3. To bring the school life of the
boy into closer relationship to his
home life.
I. To assist in the development Of
the spirit of cooperation in the fami-
ly and in the community.
5. To dignity and magnify the yoca-
ton of the farmer by demonstrating
the returns which may be secured
from farming when it is properly con-

USE OF A MANURE SPREADER
When Used JudiciousIy Increased
Yield in Crops Will Pay for De-
vice Within Short Time.

If you haven't time to haul out the
manure from the barns and corrals
and spread it in the old-fashioned way
with pitchfork, buy a manure spread
er and do it right.
If you will use it judiciously the in
creased yield in crops will more than
pay the cost within two seasons, and
the spreader, well cared for, will last
for many years.
You cannot become an efficient farm
er and realize the maximum returns
from your time and labor without
good implements.
