There was bitter hard frost, the clouds

Hints about Farm Lahorers.

One OF the sorest troubles IN farming, Just |
now, aries from the scarcity Of help'-a scar
city which must continue as long as the war |
las e, unless an unusual foreign migration
supplies the want. Were it not for labor
saving machinery, multitudes of crops would
90 unharvested, and other farm work go un-
performed. Along with this scarcity. the
quail y of the workmen left is also poor
Not all, indeed, bat many Of our hired men
are eye-servants, working Justify while watch
ed, but lounging, dawdling, and, perhaps
drinking when alone. Tools are not taken
care of, the work done is slurred over, the
horses and cattle are neglected, many things
are waste6-;n short, the real interest Of the
farmer are not cared for. 1t is raxatioua to
try to carry on farm with such "heip."
0ne must be always present with his men
must work hard himself, and do the worst
jobs with his own hands. A slaves life is it
to be bound to such a task, and the money
gained by it is earned at hard rate.-But
here are a few helping thoughts. If far
mer can contrive to get young men into his
employ and can manage to keep them for a
few years, he can train them into good work.
men. Yet much depends on the employer
himself. Many of our bad laborers have
been made such by the unkindness, dishon'
esty, or shiftlessness of their masters. If
good farmer can get young unspoiled men
fresh from the "ould countrie," and can keel
them long enough to teach and train them
he will generally have good and faithful
workmen. Hence, one way to improve you
farm laborers would be for the agriculturist
of a neighborhood to employ some trust
agent say at New York or Boston, to 81
lect companies of likely young foreigners wh
prefer country life, and then to send them d
rectly on to the farmers wanting them. A
SO, let the farmers of each neighborhco
pledge themselves not to hire laborer con
ng from another farmer unless he brings
certificate of honorable discharge from HI
last employer. If the Agricultural Soci
ties of town and county would form SON
system of this kind to provide steady su
