by making country homes more

Many farmers hoot at the idea of
their sons spending their lime in
what they called “frivolous pleas-
I 11 res,” such as football, indoor
games, picnic, etc., but experience
teaches that young men will have
such pleasures, if not at home,
then somewhere else. It is their
! nature to crave such en joyments,
and a repression of such desires
only intensities them and disgusts
tlm bovs with environments that
will not permit them. The best
investment a father can make who

that of the 1,418,000 cotton farms
reported in 1900, 849,000 were
operated by whites. Wbito ta

across toy friend, Grant Woody,
who was down after some govern
ment fish (of which I will speak
later) who, of course, with true
mountain hospitality, ask ed me
up to spend a few days with him.
Well, if any of tho readers of
this letter have ever been fortu-
I natc enough to enjoy Grant’s hos
pitality as I had some few sum
mers ago, why I am pofitivo they
! will know how readily and gladly
■ I took him up, even though we
had to drive in the teeth of a forly-
miie gale.
After a cold trip, which I could
only stand on account of the
pleasant anticipation of what was
to come, we arrived safely.
Mr. Woody is one of the most
progressive citizens I have ever
I had the pleasure of meeting.
1 Realizing the advantages of “Can-
| ada” as a summer resort', he has
taken the opportunity and bnilt a
■ summer hotel, and at a little later,
I seeing the interest and enjoyment
that eveiy one took in fishing for
mountain trout, helms had in-
genuilv and energy t<> send to
i ° ,
: Washington after a better va
riety of trout than native, which
is considered very fine. The
“Rainbow troute” is the name of
the fish that the government slop
pod tho Fish Commission car
at Gainesville to put off for Mr.
Woody, and I venture to say this
is the first stop it has over made in
North Georgia. So I think Mr.
Woody deserves a great deal , of
credit for his interest in the well-
fare of his district. He has
put the fish in several creeks up
hero and they all seem to be doing
well.

elusions. It is far better for a
young man to make an error in
judgment while his father is liv
ing, and so have him to assist in
repairing the error, than to wait
until he is dead. A certain amount
of genuine expcricnco should be
made possible with every boy on
the farm.early in life. Nothing
so much depresses a young far
mer as the fact that he is nobody
and must go to bis father-for ev
ery suggestion. Give the boys a
free hand in many things and
they will come out all right in the
end. They will also learn to love
their vocation and stay on the
farm. Farmers should treat their
boys as companions, consult with
them, get them to offer suggestions
and to commend those that are
wise and practical. Many a boy
so treated will strive with all his
mental power to work out the host j
solution of any problem arising on ;
the farm. Boys should also be |
treated like gentlemen —not order- j
ed. but requested to do tilings.
I Politeness on the farm probably
pays better than in the drawing
room, not only in the direction
given to farmers’sons, but in the
management of servants. A
coarse, uncivil, rough manner re
pels; a gentle, polite but firm man
ner attracts and calls for the best
endeavors of both sons and ser
vants. In all these things there
is in this age a movement for the
better. The coarse, unsympathet
ic manager, whether in a manu
facturing establishment, a railroad
or on a farm, is not now the most
successful. —Southern Farm Maga

I Bat and Mike were discussing
socialism, and Pat said :
“Mike, I've turned socialist.”
“And why are you a socialist?”
says Mike.
“Well,” says Bat, I’m tired of
seeing men like Rockfellor and
Carnegie sporting their hundreds
of millions. A hundred thousand
dollars is enough for any man,
and they ought to be compelled
to divide that with anybody who
needs it worse than they do.”
j| lc i Mike—Well, if you hud a hun
dred thousand and I bad none,
would you divide with me?
Bat—1 would.
Mike—And if you bad ten thou
sand would you giyo inc half of
licit?
Pat—I would.
Mike And if you had iv.ohorse-
es would ) ou gi vo me one of l luun?
Pat I would. Sliure one horse
i is enough for any man.
i Mike—And if you ha I two pigs,
liu»- | would you give me one of them?
