MANAGING ENGLISH FARMS.
The Results of an Intelligent and Capable
Land Owner in England.

z
Land Owner in England.
Mr. W. J. Harris gives a most helpful
Ind interesting account of the Halwill
manor estate. This was poor land and
much of it was untouched for long peri
DDS, being treated as summer run for
cattle The investor, Mr.. Harris, was
tempted at first to do what at that time
was generally done by landlords-con-
tolidate farms, pull down old cottages
ind in fact generally reduce the avail
able population and labor on the land.
Several farms fell in soon after Mr..
Harris purchase of the estate, but he
was converted by observing that,
where the landlord or the farming ten
ant had allowed the cottagers to Guilt
vate the land Immediately around them,
the value of the land had been doubled
by the laborer without indeed any guar
antee of permanent residence.
Instead of destroying. the new landlord
built and repaired, and having farms on
his hands was enabled to cut off certain
fields and allot them to cottagers. Small
farms grew up and the larger ones were
reduced Thus land was let that other
wise would not have been-moorland in
closures, for instance-anditw it was on these
that the value of the system made itself
at once apparent.
Land not valued at more than five
shillings per acre in its rough state be-
came, when meadow land, worth from
thirty to fifty shillings, and as the cot
tages were in demand the population
increased, and farmers knowing that
labor could always be obtained took the
large farms, reduced though they were.
Wages have risen from ten and eleven
shillings to twelve and fourteen shillings
per week.
Mr.. Harris says he made the mistake
of working his vacant farms with bail
ifs, thinking, as the land was in low
condition, he might do it better than a
tenant But, as he says, it is the laborer
who knows best and who succeeds, pro-
vided he has not more land than he can
manage. One of these small holders now
has fifty acres and gives occasional en-
ployment.
One secret of the small farmers sue
cess is that one man works ON his farm
for no wages at all, and that is the farm
er himself. The small farmers help each
other, and they seldom let crop stand
too late or get behindhand, as is the fash
ion with some misguided men, who un-
derman their large farms and depend on
outside labor for chronic emergencies.
The harm that large landowner can do
by farming meanly is incalculable.-
London Saturday Review.

Badness Among Young People.

If the unsatisfactory statistics that
have been able to collect can be relied
on, the proportion of badness in boys
and girls under twenty is about eighty
to seven. AS the majority of girls at
the age under consideration wear their
hair loose, or in simple Marguerite
braids, so that there is little likelihood
of deception, while unwholesome head
gear or other individual practices can
hardly as yet have had time to produce
any material effect upon either sex. we
may regard the differences indicated by
the figures as practically due to the
working of heredity alone.-Miss E. F..
Andrews in POPULAR Science Monthly.

When We look wrong we cannot walk

A man with prejudice is man with
chain.
People who think too little are sure to
talk too much.
Life has no joy that is not based on
some kind of a hope.
The man who borrows trouble always
has to pay big interest.
The best friends are those who stim-
ulate each other TO good.
A man with pure heart ought to be
a man with a clean mouth.
People with empty heads most gener-
ally have tongues that rattle.
Do nothing in thy passion: it is like
putting to sea in a violent storm.
About the easiest way to make man
mad is to tell him the truth about him
self.
Many people mistake stubbornness for
bravery, meanness for economy, and
vileness for wit.
People would rather pardon the de-
fects you have than the affectation of
virtues you have not.

The men who take your advice never
give you chance to forget that it was
your advice if it turns out to be bad for
them.

An Enterprfsiiig burglar,

America is said to be the home of en-.
terprise, but an English burglar has gone
a little ahead of anything that ever orig
mated in the Yankee mind He conceived
the idea of increasing his rec eipts by fur
nishing to newspaper beats on his
exploits. After each burglary he sent a
full account to the paper and collected
pay for the articles in the usual way.
The fact that he was finally detected and
is now in Jail does net detract from his
distinction as a man of resources
