Profitable FNrm Labor.

II is only labor that is well applied
that is profitable A farmer must al
ways be an employer of labor, more or
less, and it is most important for him
to be able TO direct his labor to the best
effect Every motion of his hand or
foot should tell, every hour should rep
resent so much money. One great
drawback to success in farming is the
absence of executive ability in the
farmer. lie employees no help at the
very season when labor tends to the
most profit, which is in the win
ter-at which season the preparatory
work for the next crops is to be
perforined-for the reason that he is
unable to direct the work so as to
make it effective as a help TO that which
is to follow. With many farmers the
winter is season for spending instead
of making, The produce of the sum-
mer is consumed in large part in the
mere maintenance of animals which
make no profit, while in the busiest
season in the field all the labor making
them profitable is spent at the worst
time both for cost and income. The
cost is the greatest and the returns are
the least. There is not one day in the
year, the winter included, when farm
work may not be done with protit.-N,

THE LABOR QUESTION.
Sharing will, Hired Help an the Farm Dis
cussed.

Sharing will, Hired Help an the Farm Dis
cussed.
Nearly all farmers at one time or
another complain that their hired help
takes far too large share of the profits
often leaving them at the end of the
year less for labor and invested capital
than they would have earned if they
had sought other employment and
given it equal skill and care. 1t is u
surprise to us that the system of condi-
tional hiring of farm help is not much
more in vogue than it is. Practically
the farmer now gives the hired man all
the advantages that could accrue to him
from the division of profits, as the
competition for labor secures to most
of those hiring nearly all, and some
lines more, than they could secure by
working on their own account. If the
farmer hired his help conditionally,
giving stated sum in any event, and
more if the crops and markets proved
favorable, he would thereby secure bet
Ter service, and probably in most cases
pay little if any more than now.
The principal cause of failure of farm
help is in lack of intelligent interest in
making farming a success. Paying a
higher wage for effective service is the
best method of overcoming this DIFF
iculty. II is also far better for
the workingman himself. Scarcely
any thing is more democrat
izing and destructive of future useful
ness than eye service or trying to pass
away time so as to do as little as pos
sible. A man trained to do this few
wears, as many are when working on
farms, become fit tor nothing else than
tramping, and getting precarious liv-
ing without giving an equivalent there
for. 1t should be the care of employers
to get as good service from those they
hire as they are capable of giving. To
do this they must sharply discriminate
between the Industrious and intelligent
on one hand, and those who are lazy and
indifferent on the other. Where many
men are employed a sharp lookout must
be kept on instances of carelessness
and waste. But when only one man is
EMPLOYED, as is ususually the case on
moderate-sized farms, his wages may
be made to depend in part, at least, on
what he does to make the years bust
ness success. If there is any good in
the man such stimulus viii bring out
his best efforts.
The difference between the best and
poorest help on the taFp is much more
