The e.Farm-HeIpv Problem.

Cleveland Herald.
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" unless he can find chance employ
ment for a month or two at greatly reduced
wages, and at the beginning of winter he
finds himself with chopping wood as about
his only prospective means of getting through
the winter. This young man looks about,
finds that the men who seek other employ
ments, as rule. get continuous work, and
with no particular fluctuations in the price
of labor. True, the employers of such labor
occasionally 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 i'll manu-
featuring establishments and those occupa-
tions that give steady and continuous labor
and wages. To get a hired man for six
months the farmer offers from $120 to even
$3.50, q sum nearly equal to that paid for a
years man, the real difference being the
board, and this, in reality, is not high wages
LOT WINTER. Work.
This has had the effect of driving married
men to seek other employment than that Of
fered by the farm, and leaves single men to
be possibly obtained, and SO large proper
ton are actually ''hoaters," who can only
be depended upon when they choose, not the
will of the employer.
1t may be urged, and with 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-dairving has become
very profitable, and does not make up the
sum total of the possibilities of winter farm
ing. The rush of our foreign citizens, ''as-
sisted" and by their own assistance, to the
far West does not afford the farmer a chance
to obtain cheap help, aud, together with the
high price of the labor remaining is not ia
vorable to a great increase in the amount of
the productions of Ohio. The effects of this
lack of help are visible on every hand in over
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 ques-
ton.

race Gandaur was the favorite The men
drew positions in the following order, Hanlan

Lee, Plaisted and Parker. The course was
one-and-a-quarter mile, straight away and

Teemer to the two-mile flag was close. the
former slowly drawing to the front and cross
ing the line in 1873. Teemer two lengths be-
hind, and Lee a good close third. followed
by Gandaur, Parker. Riley and Plasted in
the order named. Teemer made the turn in

second race was rowed in Crystal bay,
near the Hotel Lafayette, for another purse
of $500, divided, the entries being the same
as in the first race. Hosmer was the favorite
at 800 to $40, with few takers. At the turn
Gandaur, Hosmer and Teemer turned their
respective buoys on even terms in 1890, fol-
lowed by Lee, Riley, Parker and Plaisted.
For dozen lengths no one had perceptible
advantage, but Teemer, who was pulling in
fine form, soon drew ahead two lengths and

Destroying Weeds.



This is an excellent season for weeds, if for
no other kind of vegetation Many persons
are troubled with very large weeds-such as
bnrdocks and mulleins. They cannot be
eradicated by any ordinary treatment. If
simply cut off with hoe they will spring up
again and make a large growth in a few
weeks. The best instrument to employ in
destroying them is sharp spade. 1t should
be thrust into the ground so that it will cut
off the stalk some inches below the crown.
1t is we'll to throw a small handful of salt in
the space that was occupied by the stalk.
The stalks should be removed to some conve-
nient piece of ground where they can be
dried aud then burned. If allowed to re-
main where they grew the seed will
drop out and in time germinate.
The seeds of large weeds pos
sess great vitality and will ordinarily
remain in the soil all winter without injury.
The seeds of many kinds OF weeds are suffi-
GENTLY mature to germinate when the plants
on which thev grow present none of the APP
pearance of ripeness On this account farm
ers and gardeners are often deceived in the
| appearance OF weeds, and do not resort to
the proper means to destroy them. Ii they
| are allowed to get possession of land they
should be cut before blossoms appear, so as
to prevent their propagation by means of
seeds. They should be raked or thrown into
piles while they are green, and when they
become dry they should be burned. Unless
considerable care is exercised weeds are
likely to spring mp and attain large size in
the vicinity of the farm buildings, and if
they are not destroyed in time their seeds
whi find their way TO every part OF the farm
or garden !.
