INCUKATORS tfOR BOYS.
By appealing to a child's pride in
ownership character is developed. Give
him something to own , something that
shall be bis. His pride is tbns aroused
and he in encouraged to become an
owner rather than a borrower. In
gratifying a boys desires in this direc
tion it may be done in a practical man
ner. Give him something of use ,
or something that will be of educational
advantage.
The Sure Hatch Incubator Journal of
Olay Center , Nebraska , makes the fol
lowing suggestion that is worthy of the
consideration of parents :
"These schools of training are com-
mendab'e , but the large per cent of
the farmers in the future will come from
the farms without the advantages of
science as developed at these schools. It
therefore stands us in hand to make the
best use of our home schools , the farms.
Every boy and girl likes to own some
thing , and for the educational purposes
alone they should own something.
Nothing fills the bill better than an
incubator and a flock of poultry. It
cultivates a sense of care and business
management that would be lacking
when they were called on to do busi
ness with a competing public. It is in
their time of life that impressions are
permanent , good or bad. The writer of
this was a boy once , raised on a farm ;
owned every colt or rather owned a
new colt each spring owned it until it
became real valuable , then he had the
privilege of trading it for the youngest
again and was educated to think the
young colt more valuable for a boy than
a colt old enough to bring a good price.
The result of this line of training and
encouragement , he landed in business at
twenty-one a regular pumpkin-head to
do business. The farm had no attrac
tions for him , he could see nothing in it
but plow and harrow and doing without
money from crop to crop. Am. not
blaming Dad , he simply did not know
how to educate a boy. Had there been
an agricultural college or other school
that occurred to him to be a good thing
for a boy , money would not hava stood
in the way. As above stated , he was
not aware that he run the best school on
earth , right at home among realities
Of course , we would rather the farmer
wonld buy his boy an incubator , but
I rather than see the boys grow up with
out ideas of business care and manage
meut , it would certainly pay to really
give them a start , even if it was nothing
more valuable than a hen and chicks
Boys and girls like to own something
as soon as they are old enough to play
marbles or jump the rope , they will wan
to own the marbles and rope at least. '
An appeal is being circulated in
Massachusetts for contributions towaid
the erection of a suitable memorial to
Roger Wolcott in Boston.
