HIRING HELP.
Points to Bs Considered before h"g"R"s
Hands for the Farm

Points to he Considered Brfore E"R"R"s
Hands for the Farm
On the farm the hired help become
members of tho farmers family anu
often the association is necessarily mos!
intimate between the sons ana
daughters and the hired man anu hirea
woman. For this reason the utmost
care should be exercised in investigate
ing tho character Of the person VINO IL
to be 10 intimately associated with the
young. who arc just at the age to DO
the most easily led astray and taught
bad habits by vicious and unScrlpu'
lous help. Every farmer owes II 10
his family and to himself to look ~
this moral side of the question lirst,
and let il have the greatest weight in
deciding whom he shall hire. and not
lead his young sons and daughters into
unknown temptations But there are
other considerations. also. which
should be most closely looked into be-
fore hiring any one to help with the
farm or the homework. a realization
of the difference between good and i'll
different or poor help, and also that
good hand is worthy of good wages
while a poor hand is dear il he works
for nothing and boards himself, is nee
,ssary in leading TO n proper con-
sidcration of this question. There
always is u temptation to cm-
ploy the first and cheapest help
that comes along, and to trust to
luck that he turns out good invest
mcnt About nine times oU, of ten We
are disappointed in the efficiency or in
the character Of the hand thus en-
ployed. Such a loose way of doing
business does not pay in any affair,
and would not be followed in any other
except in hiring help. a hand who is
to have charge of farm, or to help in
the care of the stock. should be kind
and careful, and one who will not in
any way abuse an animal under any
circumstances, or neglect to properly
feed and attend to its wants; AMI tho
farmer should inform himself upon
these points concerning the man whom
he is about to hire. The man should
be one who will be faithful to the
farmers interests, steady. and not DO
wanting to run half the time. and.
especially just when work is crowding
the hardest. The success OF the farm
and the crops depends very much upon
the employment Of sober, industrious.
intelligent and faithful hands. and no
others should BE- tolerated on n we'll
regulated farm. Now, we hope that
this question will receive from farmers
generally the attention its Importance
deserves, and that the character. faith
fulness and capabilities of the one
seeking employment will decide the
question either for or against him.

SALT FOR STOCK.
a supply Accessible to Every Animal
should lie Provided Mt All Times

A supply Accessible to Every Animal
should lie Provided Mt All Times.
Salt Is not only the SAVIOR OF the
earth. but of the flesh, and OF every
known organism. 1t is n constant
constituent of the blood, keeping it
limpid and healthful. and is more uni
vcrsally distributed over the globe and
throughout all organized nature than
Guy Other compound known to the
chemist, save water. 1t is also one OF
the most stable OF tho compounds.
The waters of tho earth are charged
with 1t, and traces of it float in the air
we breathe.
BY inference. then, we may conclude
that salt is an essential constituent OF
all things-cspccially of all organized
things. Both observation and expert
mcnt show this to be the fact. All the
animal instincts concur in this conclu-
sion. Wild animals 60 long distances
and take great risks to get it. In
countries where it is not readily &C.
ccssible, men are willing to pay great
prices for it. The relish for it is not
an acquired one. like that for whisky
or tobacco, but n natural instinct or
craving, in response to q demand Of
the human organism.
Animals deprived of salt onot thrive
rs well nor wear rs sleek coats rs those
that have a regular and full supply. II
it is placed where they have access to
It at will. no animal will eat too much.
But IL fed irrcgularly. and allowed to
10 without salt for long periods, there
Is great danger Of animals eating
enough to do them injury. In such
cases, great care should be taken in
feeding it, that an overdose be not
taken. But the better way is to avoid
such danger by keeping a constant
supply of salt within reach fthc stock.
Rock salt in large Jumps for the ami
mails TO lick, is the best form in which
to give It. But 1t should be placed
where il will be sheltered from the rain
Or snow. Sheds for the shelter OF
stock are proper places in which to
provide 1t.
As farmers turn their cattle to grass,
We call their attention to the subject OF
sailing stock. and to its Importance.
Do not depend on throwing them n
handful once week or so. through the
summer. In such case, II you give
enough for the herd, the stronger ones
will get too much and the weaker ones
too little. The better way is to provide
a supply Of salt accessible to all, at all
times. This is the safe and wise plan,
saving caro- and trouble, and securing
the bests results to the stock.-National
Live Stock Journal.

discriminating the Thistle.

The thistle is a biennial plant, matur.
ing its seed and dying the second year;
but as 1t Is propagated from both roots
and seeds Its chances for being obliter-
ated are very slim. The practice OF
moving them down Is good enough 50
far as 1t goes, but tho destruction OF
the thistles by preventing them from
seeding can not be assured. There Is
but one way to kill them entirely and
that Ia not to allow them to grow at
Ill. They must be destroyed as soon
Us tbey put their heads above ground,
and by continuing such method they
may DO smothered to death, and finally
decay. It can not DO done in q single
season, as the thistle is very persistent,
but II can DO done with patience and
the assistance of Q few sheep, which
viii nip them Of when they are young
and tender. and prevent them from
making headway.-Farn. Field aud

LIVE FENCE POSTS.
Suggestions to Farmers Who Are About
to Repalr or Build Fences.

Suggestions to Farmers Who Are About
to Repalr or Build Fences.
On lines where permanent fences arc
to DO desired, say on boundary lines of
permanent pastures, posts that would
not need to be renewed every eight or
ten yeais would be desirable. When
wire is used II is quite practicable to
provide living post Mt a very light
cost. Along the fence row, either boz
fore or after the fence has been made,
cuttings of willow or cottonwood can
be planted from eight to sixteen feet
apart and in four or five years will be
arge enough to fasten the wires to.
After the trees are as large as desired
for posts the top may be cut off SO as
Ito prevent too much shading Of the
land, IL this is an objection. A few
branches left on the post will keep 1t
alive. II there Is no shade in the past
ure it would be we'll to let the tops re-
main, trim up the trunks so that the
wind can sweep under, and thus make
shade for the stock. The trees will
also add beauty to the farm. Instead
Of mailing the wires direct to the trees,
better plan would be to fasten an up
right cleat to the trunk and the wires
to that, otherwise tho wires will be-
come imbedded in the wood.-colman'

CLINGING IVY.

The common belief that ivy train
ed against the walls of dwelling
house produces damp walls and gen
eral unhealthfulness, is fallacious,
says Land and Water. The very 3D.
poslte is the case. If one will care
fully examine an ivy-clad wall after
shower of rain, he will notice that
while the overlapping leaves have
conducted the water from point to
point until it has reached the ground,
the wall beneath is perfectly dry and
dusty. More than this, the thirsty
shoots which force their way into
every crevice of the structure which
will afford firm hold, act like suck
ers in drawing out any particles Of
moisture for their own nourishment.
The ivy, in fact, acts like great
coat, keeping the house from wet and
warm.
