The expenses of tbe (essinn were 13,
840.07. As there Is only $2,925.70 on

Ths Futubb Maw. The email boy
on the farm haa a great future before
him. utt services and efforts are not
very highly appreciated by the older
members of the farm. As a rule be
wears ont everything except a bar of
soap, eats everything except tbe dishes
and outlery, and then makes frequent
visit to the orchard between mealt.
Heis reqnired to bold the baby half
the time, build fires, carry water, mind
gap and gates, find fuel, run errands
and keep employed doing varioua odd
jobs between time. Boys may be a
trouble, but tbe trouble only begins
when we have lost their help and tbe
enjoyment of their mitchievious
pranks. . To see mud ballt iticktng on
the barn, bird bouse out everywhere
and "whirligig!" galore, it ia but a
straw indicating what they may be
taught ii properly educated. The
melon patch would not grow, bird's
nests would not be properly made, the
eggs would not be found and the di
minutive ox yoke would sink into
innocous deteutnde were it not for the
tmall boy on the farm. They are in
bett products and should be well bred,
Tbe future man is the small boy on
tne farm.
