Farming for Boys (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Farming for Boys

The mass of farmers' boys understand that they must carve out their own fortunes. If their parents would afford them some little Opportunity to begin early, - an equal one with the sharp newsboy of the city, - they too would become so shrewd, so self-reliant, so expert at acquisition, even on the farm, that, educated to moderation, they would be too well sat isfied with small gains to be overcome by the seductions of city life. If it be mere money which makes the latter attrae tive, a certainty of being able to acquire it at home would seem to be potent enough to surround with greater attractions the spot on which the farmer's boy may have been born.
