WHICH IS IT? 



The Lure of the City or the Slavery of the Farm 



Is YOUR boy being LURED TO THE CITY because you have been 

 short sighted and because you are making his home work drudgery 

 instead of a scientific schooling and a pleasure? Don't forget that 

 the bright lights and the attractive appearance of the city CALLS 

 him, and that the drudgery of the farm at the same time DRIVES 

 him away. You may have but little to do with the bright lights in 

 the city, but you have a whole lot to do with the drudgery or OTH- 

 ERWISE of the farm, especially so when this DRUDGERY is 

 unnecessary. 



Won't your son build up mentally as well as physically and see big- 



ger and better and nobler things if he has a chance to use his head 

 as well as his hands ? Ask yourself these questions and let us help 

 you to solve them. 



Of all examples of useless farm toil, the most unwise, from all view- 

 points, is that of SPREADING MANURE BY HAND. You can 

 pump by hand and eventually get results, or milk by hand and get 

 your large cream check, but you can't spread manure by hand and 

 get your money's worth from the next crop. 



Spreading manure by hand wastes the manure, wastes the land, and 

 wastes the energy of the man who does it. More boys have seen 

 the bigger and better and brighter side of farm life because of the 

 Modern Manure Spreader than because of any other farm tool.
