188 CONCLUSION 
flocks and herds, improve your surroundings and make 
them more attractive; train your boys and girls to be 
good farmers and housekeepers and enjoy the peaceful, 
restful life of the farm. 
There’s music in the words, “ Back to the Farm,” but 
there is sweeter music in the words, “ Better Stay on the 
Farm a While Longer.” 
“The farm is the safest and surest, 
The orchards are loaded to-day ; 
You’re as free as the air of the mountains, 
And monarch of all you survey. 
“ Better stay on the farm a while longer, 
Tho’ the profits come in rather slow; 
Remember you’ve nothing to risk, boys, ~ 
Don’t be in a hurry to go.”
