ENGLISH FARMING.


Not an OYerdrawn Picture But a State
ment of an Actual Fact.
From a careful study of the cost of
preparing the ground and putting in and
harvesting crops in this country L am
fully satisfied that farm expenses are
fully one hundred per cent. dearer, in
many cases. here than they are in Amer
lea, Notwithstanding the much higher
wages paid with us. The fact is that
the employment of labOr-saving agricul-
tural machinery is much more general
and varied in our country than it is in
this. In the matter of hay gathering,
saw field of some ten acres in extent,
the crop of which was being secured.
The following was the modus operandi:
Two horses attached to a cart, ''tan-
DEM" boy to lead the horses; one man
to pitch up the hay; two men to load
with their hands; boy to rake after,
and there were three sets of wOrkpeOple
after this fashion on this one field. Now.
in America, with one man to load and
drive his span of horses, and one man
to pitch on the hay--with a horse hay
fork to unload-more hay would be Sc
cured in one day than the three sets Of
workers were able to manage! The
'Taking after" would have been done
by boy with a horse-rake, after the
field had been cleared of hay

would do the same work equally well,
thus saving the wages Of five men, two
women, and three boys These in
stances clearly show that English farm
ers are very unequally handicapped in
the cost of handling crops alone. An
