A Hint to Farmers’ Boys. Quite often we hear the remark from some bright farmer boy thst there is no fu- ture for is smart boy on the farm ; thst the work is all drudgery, and no reward, either social or finsntiul, to compensate. Looked at from one side there is some truth in this View of the situation. But FOREST AND FAB! wants to say to these boys that if they will go at work to improve their understand- ing, and try to make themselves competent for the upper shelf of good farming, they need not wait long for the rewards that go to the product of good brains. It is a. lack of knowledge and well trained skill that ails the fsrmers boy. They have been groun- lng about the drudgery of the farm, and there they have stayed, never caring to be sny better farmer than an ordinary hired man, and so they take a. hired men's view of the whole business. Boys, don’t you know that drudgery lies at the bottom of every culling in life? If a boy starts to mske a printer or a merchant, a. mecuanic or a doctor, 3. lawyer or a. preacher of him- self, he must always commence at the cheap and of the business where the drudgery lies. After 9 long time, if he has brains and perseverance, he grown more and more intelligent concerning the principles he is dealing with and more skiliul in handling them, and then Comes the reward that lies on the upper shelf. But hard work will never leave him ; not a minute. The pre- clouu gold, from nhetime it is dug out of the mine to the time it is paid for servwe rendered, in tlwavs, in all honesl callinga, the price of toll and sacrifice. u..- I...__ V. a. There are a. thousand farmers working like slaves and competing with each other to make low priced butter, where there is one who ham become intelligent on this ques- tion, :0 that he can nuke a better article nugget better pay for his time and labor. The producta‘of fine thinking are always high priced and always will be. Fine but- ter in the product of fine thinking and in- telligence. and it always will bring good prices. Poor butter is the product oi ig- norance and stupidity, and it punishes the prgducer constantly. There are a thousand farmer-3’ boys con- tent to fill the place of an ordinary hired man and become that sort of a. farmer all their lives where there in one who tries to educate himself in the higher branches of farming, so that he may be able to produce something that will reward him better for his time and labor. Now, boys, instead of grumbling at the farm go to reading and studving. Try to make yourselves intelligent. Educate your- selvel thoroughly as you can in animal farm- ing. If you become competent and skilful in this direction you need non worry about eating good pay for your services. There s a loud call for well educated farmers who are able to take another man’s capital and makea success of it in the production of fine stock. Think it over, boys. Why don t some of the smart'farmer boys see that there is an upper shelf in farming just as well as in any other business? Why don’t they see that cheap brains and half heartedness are crowding the lower shelf in every other business ".3 they are in farm- ing? Every town has its full supply of these people. Down at the lower round of the ladder there is a tremendous big crowd, all competing for the drudgery that’s to be done, and the competition makes low prices. As you go up the crowd gets thinner and prices increase. He Needed More. It must sometimes puzzle the physician to understand how the human system can en- dure the effects of patent medicines which many people make almost a part of their dlily food and drink. A sickly looking man came into the office of a. village physician and said he “wa'n’t feeling very smart,” and wanted something to “ kinder straight- en him out." After he had described his symptoms, which 'did not indicate anything at. all seri- ous, the physician asked. “ Have you been taking medicines of any kind ?" “Well, noâ€"at least none to speak of,” Wu the reply. “ I heard that the Extract of Dnndyline was good for troubles like mine, so I took three pint bottles of that, but it, didn’t. seem to do me much good. Then I got me two bottles of Smith’s Heal- ing Compound and a box of Green’s Sure- Cure pills and took ’em, and I kinder think they helped me some.” “ Yes; In} 'wife fixed me up a. mess of poke-berry and calamus and mullen and rue and boneeet and tansy and a few other yarbs, and I took that for a. while, until one 01 my neighbors sent me over something he’d bought the recipe of from a gypsy woman. It helped me for a while. “'Did‘you take anything else ?" asked theggxused phys_i_cia.1.:n_. " Then I didn‘t feel so well, so I changed ofl'to some atqu I bought of a. pedler, and a. lit.th qgipinefiyvice a. dgy. “ I ain’t taking anything now but a little of the Elixir of & Hundred Roots and some bitten. I aim: gaining very fast, so I thought I’d come in and see if you thought I needed anything else.” No other term than the above would apply to the woman who could see her youthful beauty fading away without a. pang of re gret. Many a. woman becomes prematurely old and haggard because of functional de- nngement. What a. pity that all such do not know that Dr. Pierce‘s Favorite Pre- scription will restore their organs to a. nor- mal state and make them youthful and beautiful once more, For the ills to which the daughters of Eve are peculiarly liable the “ Prescription” is a. sovereign remedy.
