The d" Farm. Help" Problem.

While the writer of this paragraph
accepts in part the coat that he prepares
for others, it is no use to deny that the
scarcity of labor results more from the
practice of not hiring permanent farm
help than from any other, or several
other causes. The farmer, as a rule,
does not employ help enough, nor does
he, from this very reason, work his farm
to its even average capacity. The
young man seeks labor upon farm,
and is informed that his labor is only
wanted 'until after haying," when the
young man is left high and dry I'M
less he can find chance employment for
a month or two at greatly reduced
wages, and at the beginning of winter he
finds himself with chOppng wood as
about his only prospective means of
getting through the winter. This young
man looks about, finds that the men
who seek other emplOyments, as a rule,
get continuous work, and with no par
ticular fluctuations in the price of
labor. True, the employers of such
labor occasionally g shut down." but,
in the main, infrequently, and then
scarcely longer than the time he is not
wanted by the farmer, and so the drift is
toward employment in manufacturing
establishments and those occupations
that gives steady and continuous labor
and wages. To get a hired man for
six months, the farmer offers from 1920
to even $3.50, a sum nearly equal to
that paid for years man, the real
difference being the board, and this, in
reality, is not high wages for winter
work.
This has had the effect of driving
married men to seek other employment
than that offered by the farm, and
leaves single men to be possibly OBJ
tanned, and 50 large a proportion are
actually "ilOaters,' who can only be de-
pended upon when they choose, not the
will of the employer.
It may be urged, and with a good
showing, that upon the smaller farms
winter labor, now that rails are no
longer split, logs drawn for lumber and
cord-wood sold in the village is not
profitable, but changed times offer new
avenues for the performance of labor,
and winter-dairying has become very
profitable, and does not make up the
sum total of the possibilities of winter
farming The rush of our foreign citi-
zens, assisted and by their own as
sistance, to the far West, does not afford
the farmer chance to obtain cheap
help, and, together with the high price
of the labor remaining, is not favorable
to a great increase in production. The
effects of this lack of help are visible
on every hand, in oyer-worked farmers,
crops neglected to a certain extent, and
"many things left for tomorrow that
should have been done this afternoon"
Permanent labor with continuous wages
is the partial solution of the farm labor
question. - CeUeldqd Herald.

trees and leave the branches where the
cattle can get them, for, strange though
it seem, they will abandon good grass
to eat them. CultiUdtor.

A Legend of Cologne.

Adelheid RichmOdus, wife of one of
the medieval senators who swayed the
destinies of Cologne, died, to all appear
ance, and was buried in the vaults of
the neighbOring Apostelkirche. 1t was
said that valuable ring could not be
removed from her hand, and was con-
sequently inferred with her. This ex-
cited the cupidity of the sexton, who
came at night to steal, and falling in his
efforts to loosen the ring, tried to sever
the finger. Blood flowed; the lady re-
vived and sat up in her coffin, to the
horror of the thief. After the first para
lying shock of finding where she was she
passed through the gates he left open in
his fight, and, still wrapped in her wind
ing-sheet, knocked at her husbands
door. The servants, on looking out,
recognized her, and rushed terrified to
their master to say they had seen her
ghost; but on calmer reflection, Adel-
held continuing to knock and beg plain
lively for admission, they concluded she
was alive, and said so. RichmOdus de-
clared the whole a trick of their mag
inatiOn, and said he would as soon be-
heve his horses were transported to the
attics as that his wife lived. AS he
spoke, the clatter of hoofs above proved
his incredulity rebuked by miracle.
The door was opened to the shivering
lady, who told her story and was affec-
tiOnately received, becoming 1.-The joy

THE OLD VILLAGE.

1t lies among the greenest hills
New England depths can show;
About their base the river fills
And Cmptics as the distant mills
Control its ebb and flow;
II had quick life OF its own,
But that was long ago.
Two centuries have rolled away
Since a small, hardy band
Turned their sad faces from the bay,
The dim sky line where England lay,
And boldly marched inland.
Before them lay the wilderness;
Behind them lay the strand.
Bravely they plunged into the waste
BY white foot never tFOd;
Bravcly and busly they traced
Their shares in virgin sod;
Built huts, and then "A Westinghouse
Where man might worship God
The huts gave place to houses white;
The ax-afrighted woods
Shrank back to left shrank back TO right;
The valleys laughed with harvest light;
The river Yagrant moods
Were curbcd by Gathering wheels, which
shook
The once green s5litudes.
And years flowed on and life flowed by,
The hills were named and known;
The young looked out with eager eye
From the ''Old'' village. BY and by
They stole forth one by one,
Leaving the old folks in their homes
To labor on alone.
And one by one the old folks died,
Each in his lonely way.
The doors which once stood open wide
To let a busy human tide
Sweep in and out all day
Were closed; the unseeing windows stared
just as blind man may.
The mills abandoned, ceased to whirr:
Tho unchecked river ran
It's old time courses, merrter
And glad in spirit, as it were,
For its escape from man,
IeQECQ the dumb WnceiS ana UOCked ana
played
AS only a river can.
Looking to-day across the space,
Beyond the tOwer-fringed track
Which once was road, the eye can trace
The outlines of ccllar-place,
A halfburned chimney-back.
They mark the ruins of home
Now empty, cold and black.
And here and there an old dame stands
Some farmhouse window nigh,
Or, dark against the pasture lands,
A plOwman old, with trembling hands
Checks his team suddenly,
And turns q gray head to the road
To watch the paSScr-by.
Above the empty village lies
One thickly-peopled spot,
Whore gray stones in gray silence rise
And tell to sunset and sunrise
of past lives that are not
The lives that fought and strOve and toiled
And builded. And for what?
IT'S Natures law in everything.
The river seeks the sea;
But not one drOplet wandering
Goes ever back to feed the spring.
Such things are and must be.
The gone is gone, the lost is lost,
Fled irrevOcably.
Old village on the lonely hill
Deserted by your own,
Your spcnded life-likc mountain rill
Has gone to swell the tide and fill
Some sea unseen, unknown.
Let this brave thought your comfort be
AS thus you die alone.

Effect Of Heat on Hogs.

Pigs generally gain very little during
the summer on account of the neglect
on the part of the owners to provide
for their comfort. In some cases their
skin cracks open by the influence of the
direct RAYS of the sun, and sores are
formed which are infested by insects.
The large amount of fat contained in
the body of the hog renders it impa-
tent of heat, and means should be pro-
vided for rendering the animal as cool
as possible. The pasture in which hogs
are kept should be well supplied with
water, not only for drinking, but for
cooling purposes. If there are no
natural streams or ponds there should
be pools made in which they can
wallOw when they desire. They shoulS
have plenty OF grass and other grseh
food, as well as sour milk and slOpS.
Corn and other heating articles of food
should be fed sparingly. Cooling
shade is essential to the comfort and
well-being OF hogs during the hot days
of the summer. Farmers who have the
advantage of groves and forests located
on the banks of streams and rivers. or
on the shores of lakes, generally have
little trouble during the summer. The
ground protected by trees and bushes
rema rs cool and moist even when that
exposed to the sun is parched and hot.
The streams and ponds afford water for
drinking and bathing. The hog is a
clearly animal when it is allowed a fair
chance. If a hogs pasture contains no
natural shade and water they should be
provided. Water can be conducted
through pipes from spring and wells at
a small expense, and made to supply
pools and watering troughs. Shade
can be afforded BY planting trees or
erecting sheds covered with straw or
running vines.-AgrjculturaJ Epiton1jst.
