Farmers' Children

■Every girl and boy should have the care of something belonging to them, to grow, or cultívate, or improve. When there is plenty of room, as on a farm, boys should own a hor8e, or a cow, or have a portion of the garden to cultívate. Girls should be allowed to possess a bee-hive, or a certain number of hens, or fruit-bearing yines. Something of value, that by care and proper cultivation increases and returns a vilue for itself. Children will acquire an interest in and derive a happiness from this form of industry that will repay the ffort and trial.
