There isa great deal said about thevalm.
of an allowance for children, and it is
certainly a wise phm to train them to
spendi mall sums judiciously that they
may learu the value of money while
young. But perhaps many parepts live
on farms where money comes in slowly
or irregularly, so that an allowance foi
their children is out of the question.
I would suggest to them that tia y give
to Ha ir young people something on the
farm that shall yield an income, though
ever so small, Let them have a hiveof
bei ; or few hens of their own. or per
haps a lamb or calf , bnt insist that any
expenso incurred by their pets shall he
