CAN A. BOY RUN A FARM (?

Can boy run a farm-JuSt pain,
average farm and make it pay real
dividends after deducting every item
of cost and expenditure?
A boy, aged 10 years, tried the ex-
pertinent four years ago and succeeded
so brilliantly that his neighbors and
farm authorities no longer doubt the
possibility.
The father of Alfred Carlsbad had
not made a fortune out of his farm.
He saw, too late, the reason why, and
determined that his son should not
make the same mistake.
The boy was sent to the agricultural
school of the University of Minnesota.
Just as he had about completed his
course in agriculture the elder Carl
stead died. He left his son only the
farm and the implements that he had
employed for years in its cultivation,
and a few debts.
Most boys at the age of 10 would
have felt discouraged. They would
have left the farm and fought their
battle of life in the city.
In fact, the friends of the boy had
advised him to do this. They smiled
when he spoke of the things he. had
learned at the agricultural school. His
friends smiled and argued with him.
Technical knowledge was of little val
ne when practically applied, they told
him.
But Alfred Carlsbad was not to
be discouraged. His mind had been
sbroadened. He had seen the light and
knew why so many of his neighbors
struggled to make both ends meet. He
knew the limitations of his farm. He
realized the difficulties confronting
him, but his mind was we'll stored with
knowledge that he intended to make
his great future asset in life. He saw
the golden possibilities that lay before
him. Nature opened the door of op-
portunity and invited him to enter He
did so. The first year was filled with
disbursement and again his friends
advised him to sell the farm and try
his hand at something else. The boy
pursued his purpose; he would not
give up. Little by little he crept for
ward.
|, Last year this boy and his two
younger brothers, after four years,
cleared $4,000 on the farm after pay
ing off every debt contracted by their
father in his lifetime.
This year they face the world not
owing a man dollar, with more than
$4,000 in the bank.
Can boy run a farm? If anyone
doubts this let him verify the facts by
writing to the University of Minnesota.
Encourage your boys to become farm
ers, you men and women who live on
the farm.

A PROPHECY

From "LincOlns Grave"
Old soldiers true, all, them all men
can trust,
Who fought, with conscience clear,
on either side;
Who bearded death and thought their
cause was just;
Their stainless honor cannot be de-
MED;
All patriots they beyond the farthest
doubt;
Ring it and sing it up and down the
land,
And let no voice, dare answer it with
sneers,
Ring it and sing it, we go hand in
hand,
Old infantry, old cavalry, old can
noneers.
And if Virginias Wales shall ring
again
To battle-yell of Moseby or Malone,
Or shut it's meaning out;
II Wilder's wild brigade Or Morgan's
Once more wheel into line; or all
A Sheridan shall ride, Cleburne
There will not be two flags above them
flying,
But both in one, welded in that pure
fame
Upflaring in us all,
When kindred unto kindred, loudly
crying,
Rally and cheer in freedoms holy
name!
Maurice Thompson.

THE FARM AND GARDEN BRIGADE

THE FARM AND GARDEN BRIGADE
The spring drive is started, hard-hand-
ed, stout-hearted,
The eager ranks charge on the soil
With seed for potatoes and beans and
tomatoes
To conquer the land with their toll;
They're serving the nation by fighting
starvation
With all the tools of their trade,
So here is song for the gang we are
strong for,
The farm and the garden brigade.
It's their job to battle for feed for the
cattle
So armies may not lack for meat,
By labor and sweating they see that
we're getting
The corn and the rye and the wheakel
Though insects come swarming in
hordes most alarming
And weeds in an endless parade,
And droughts that are blighting, they
keep right on fighting,
The farm and the garden brigade.
The boys in the trenches, the men on
the benches
Who're making the powder and shell,
The lads in the navy who sail where
it's wavy
Are doing their duty right we'll,
But back of their labOrs we find our
good neighbors
Without whom no war could be
made,
The plowers and growers, the reapers
and sewers,
The farm and the garden brigade.
