HIRING HELP.

On the farm the hired help de-
come members of the farmers fami-
", says the National StOckmda, and
often the association is necessarily
most intimate between the sons
and daughters and the hired man
and the hired woman. For tins
reason the utmost care should be
exercised in investigating the char
acter of the person who is to be so
intimately associated with the
young, who are just at the age to
be the most easily led astray and
taught bad habits by vicious and
unscrupulOus help. Every farmer
owes it to his family and to HIM
self, to look at this moral side of
the question first, and to let it have
the greatest weight in deciding
whom he shall hire, and not lead
his young sons or daughters into
unknown temptations. But there
are other considerations also which
should be most closely looked into
before hiring any one to help with
the farm or the hOuse-wOrk. \
realization of the difference be-
tween good and Indifferent or poor
help, and also that good hand is
worthy of good wages, while apoor
hand is dear if he works for moth
ing and boards himself, if necessa-
ry in leading to a proper considera-
ton of this question. There al
ways is a temptation to employ the
first and cheapest help that comes
along, and to trust TO luck that he
turns out a good investment.
About niue times out of ten we are
disappointed in the efficiency or in
the character Of the hand thus
employed. 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 a
farm, or to help in the care Of the
stock, should he kind and careful,
one who will not IN any way abuse
an animal under any circumstances,
or neglect to properly feed and at
tend to its wants and the 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 interest, steady, and |
not be 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 mach upon the EN-
ployment OF sober, industrious, in
telligent, and faithful hands, and
no others should be tolerated on a
well.regulated farm. Now, we hope
that this question will receive from
farmers generally the attention its
Importance deserves, and that the
character, faithfulness and capa-
bilities of the one seeking employ
ment will decide the question eth
er for or against him.

Farm and Household.
FEEDING POULTRY.


TO feed poultry in the proper
manner, with food best adapted to
their wants, is one of the secrets Of
success in the poultry business.
The MARKETS always well supplied
with great variety of grains, and
different kinds of food for poultry,
that are offered at reduced prices,
because Of a quality that renders
them unfit for other purposes, thus
implying that anything is good
enough to feed to poultry. This is
a great mistake, for while hen
may be forced to eat almost any
thing, very few animals feel the
result of bad food quicker than a
hen, especially laying hen. Bad
food will reduce the number of
eggs at once and if it does not
cause a permanent injury to the
hen, it will require some time, With
the best of care, for her TO recover
her former condition. Even corn
that has been heated so that a
small portion of it is damaged,
should never be fed to laying hens.
Many hens are injured by feeding
them poor scraps, and also partial
1y decayed swill because hens will
eat such things, it is no evidence
that they are of any benefit. What
ever meat is fed out to poultry
should be fed while sweet and fresh;
pure water is also very desirable.
In the care of poultry it should
be the effort Of the keeper to feed
each day no more than will be
eaten up clean before night es-
peeially is this true of food that is
to be moistened with water. While
it is well to feed a great variety of
food, an effort should be made to
furnish the proper proportion of
each variety, so that all shall be
eaten up clean ; if a mistake be
made, and it is found at night that
there is a surplus of any one kind
of food, it should be taken away,
aud the next day less amount
given.
When it is found that the laying
hens are getting too fat, less corn
and more oats and shorts should
be given. Some breeds of hens
takeon fat more readily than others,
therefore IT is best, if possible, TO
keep each breed separate, so that
they can be fed in a manner TO keep
them in proper condition.
In feeding young chicks care
should be taken not to feed very
finely ground meal, and particular
efforts should be made not to let
the food remain before the chicks
long enough to get sour. 1t is the
most natural for chicks to eat seeds
unground, so, as a rule, the food
that is given them should be small
seeds until they are large enough
TO eat whole corn. Millet seed
makes an excellent food for young
chicks. What corn is given should
be only cracked small enough for
the chick to eat it; fine ground
corn-meal should never be given to
young chicks miles mixed with
shorts.-Mdss. PlOughman.
