DON'T BURN HlJMUS.

The reckless distraction ofhumus and soil fertility now going on all over the South is nothing less than appalling. Years ago pr. Knapp in writing The Progressive Farmer said our people must use less fire and more sense" in dealing with their fields. A wise God spends a y sar growing coating of leaves and vegetation to rot and enrich e soil, and then fool man comes al ong and in few minutes brings to naught all natures efforts to keep the land productive. Fools and Fire" make good alliteration. No matter whether it be in field or forest, humus-destroying fire ad- vsftises the fact that a neighbor- hood has in it man who is either a fool or criminally careless.

KEEP YOUR BOY ON THE FARM.

Give your boy COW and calf, a hog or a few chickens. Let him make something for himself and then let him use what he makes. TAke him into your confidence; tell him of your plans, and he will re- pay you by unfolding to you his 7n plans and ambitions. Are you merely the old man" or are you your boys partner and adviser?
 This does not mean that no dis cipline is to be exercised. The wori discipline" is misunderstood by many people. It is not merely the frequent use of the rod. Don't make your boy fear you, but re- spect and honor you. Be firm but not unkind.
 Don't try to fool him. A boys ssase of injustice is very great. If you promise him a pig and then sell the pig he will become suspicious. Ii you make him work for nothing you will find that he will begin to dread work.
 Don't make him work all through tn long summer days without any form of pleasure or recreation. Give him at least a part of Satur- day afternoon for playing baseball. Let him go on a picnic or fishing trip with other boys and go with him yourself. Be his companion as we'll as partner.-The Progress sge Farmer.
