roundly abased all over the omuntry, lons the men,
knowing the value of '• gritting" and "fuel"—we all
end it out this weather—ere loth to give up what is to
them snob a canymienoe and comfort. A good *oder-

it is to be hoped that farmers will not be deterred by
senseless declamation from continuing whet is of such

As to wages some alvanoo will, no doubt, be readily
conceded; and this year, al before, good nisEers will
be able to hire good mee at fair wages; but the few
who are elitc-r indifferent masters or bad workmen may
And the altered stets of Vlings emaiderably interfere
with them. We believe Otero Is a general feeling
ameogst the agriculturists not to attend the hiring
fair at all, but to mak., private engagements with Lb.

they can arrange meetings with the men, sal have fall
