Show KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM Splendid Practice to Begin Paying Young Fellows Salary and Gradually Gradu-ally Increasing It. (By LEROY CADY.) Has the small boy of the farm a garden or acre of corn all his own to do with as he desires? I recently visited a well-to-do gardener gar-dener all of whose boys were In business busi-ness with him and was interested to learn that he had made it a practice to pay his boys as good a salary as they could get anywhere to work for him. He began when each boy was small and increased it as the boy could earn more. Consequently the boys learned the business and have become a part of It, until now they would not think of leaving it. He has built a business that Ire can turn over to them with little fear of its going to pieces for lack of attention. |
