~~ HIRED FARM HELP.

why Employees Should Make Their Euz-

In majority OF cases it seems diff
cult for hired help to understand that
they are interested in the success Of
their employers as we'll as themselves.
Yet il is certainly the fact that but few
can afford to hire help unless they can
make that help profitable. Still many
that must depend upon their daily la
Dor for their living work as though
they thought all that was necessary was
TO put in the time, whether it Is profit
able or not On account of this lack OF
interest they fan to make themselves
profitable. and are out OF work. This
applies. to more or less extent, to hired
help of all kinds; and is fully as i'm
portant with the help on the farm as
anywhere else. A good hand will
make himself so generally useful, as to
be profitable to his employers, while a
careless man can easily be steady loss
to his employer from the time he COM
mences to work. There is no question
but that often farmers, as well az
others. go without needed help for nc
other reason than that Of unreliability.
They can not get help that will take
sufficient amount of interest in their
work to try to make themselves profit
able to their employers. And tits often

life; and. instead of making place and
home for himself, he will always be de-
pending upon his daily labor for his
support There is no question but that
too many who are working for Others
get into the habit of waiting for some
thing to turn up, and, instead OF push
ing ahead they keep waiting all their
lives; while, if, at the start, they learn
ed to make themselves profitable to
their employers they would also make
themselves profitable to themselves.
Many a man can lay his first start to-
ward success simply to the fact that he
made it a point to make his employers
interest his own interest In learning
his employers interest he will learn
his own and advance his own.

fessional men, are those that have com.
