freely exercise keep your spirits rlicerfnl ' lot no dread of sickness ever make you i fearful eat the simplest food drink the pure cold i water then you will be well — or at least you : on-lit to the farmer is free from many of the temptations which beset the workingmen whose occupations bring many men into close association ihe seductions of the dram-shop and of fast society do wot appeal to him as they do to the townsman he can choose his associates instead of having them forced upon him lie is not compelled to listen to the idle story or the profitless gossip if he does not choose to hear it statistics show that farmers live longer than men in any other pursuit — except washington's body-servants the farmer can look forward to an earthly existence longer by several years than that of the black smith the carpenter the machinist | the mason the printer or any other artisan and as long as that of the av erage professional man third the farmer has the means of obtaining mental culture if he lias the will the dissatisfaction with which many farmers ami farmers bovs look upon their lot in life comes from their having too much hard work and too little spare time they have not yet learned to adapt them selves to the modern ten-hour law of labor they toil fourteen hours a dav and come home exhausted and lit for nothing but supper and bed they feel discouraged and dishearten ed at such a prospect through life overwork is the thief hat steals the farmer's happiness j'ut it ought not to be so a farm enn be made to pay on the ten-hour plan i have in mind a farmer who makes his farm pay a good dividend takes an active interest in tiie world's work has a fair library keeps abreast of thought of the age spends his evenings in reading and writing is teaching his sons the value of study and work com bined and docs all this on ten hours daily work it is not the amount of labor that we put into a thing that determines the result it is the intel ligence the king of spain you have no doubt read spent a day in trying to stand an egg on end ; col umbusdid h for him in a second an hour spent in thinking out a new way will often accomplish more than fif teen spent in working in the old way farming requires enterprise and thought quite as much as any other business and fresh plans cannot come from a weary brain ten hours spent in work and two hours spent in study by a mind quickened by moderate physical exercise instead of exhausted by over-exertion will achieve vastly more than twelve hours of unceasing manual labor make no mistake \\ hen a farm is managed in this way the farmer can devote his evenings to study and to rational enjoyment far more effective ly than the mechanic for he isolated from the distractions which usually surround the latter much of the farmer's work too does no require the constant straining of the atten tion which many mechanical pursuits demand and he has opportunity for reflection while promoting his busi ness interests so my boy if yon wish to be man ly self-reliant and independent if you wish to be your own employer and your own master ; if you wish to make a fair living independently of another's caprice ; if you wish to lay a solid foundation of health on which to build your career if you wish i to avoid tiie temptation into wliicli so j many artisans sink year after year if you whisli to elevate your mind broaden your empathies and deepen \ your understanding by study reflee j tion and association with tlio.se who | will help not hinder you in these these things in a word if you wish | to be healthy wealthy and wise my advice to you is stick to the " farm h ii a r . in the christian j u,iiou a i kkctric shoe-blacks professor aryton in delivering a lec ture at tlu london institution dwelt on j the future uses of electricity as a means j of transmitting power work tug tools and ( machines and propeling trains carriages j cars and tricycles lie remarked at present much household work is done by !
