ENCOURAGING FACTS.
London's Increase of Population and
Decrease of Criminals.

London's Increase of Population ard
Decrease of Criminals.
tFull schools mean empty prisons, -
is the motto of the writer of an articl,
in the current number of the School
master, and it must be confessed, saws
the London News, that the array of
facts and figures, with which he fur
nishes his readers, yields abundant
support to this eminently encouraging
doctrine.
Far and wide we can see, that pris-
ons are, to considerable extent, dis
appearing, their sites being for tho
most part taken for the erection of
model lodging-houses for the poorer
classes. '.Ihe jails have failed,'' as
some one tersely put it, ''for want OF
adequate support from the criminal
claeses,' and it is significant that they
began to be in a bad way when the
school-board act came into active oper-
atom, and have gone on declining step
by step as the number of children on
the roll of the primary schools has in
creased.
In 1870, with population under
$4,000, 900, we had in England and
Wales $4,000 primary schools. Then
the number of prisons reached 112.
In 1890 the population had increased
to nearly 26,000,000, and the primary
schools to $4,000, while the number of
prisons had fallen to less than sixty.
Roughly speaking, while the number
of children in the primary schools had
increased in the period referred to
about threefold, the number of thieves
or suspected persons on the roll of
the police records had diminished by
nearly one-third, and this in the face
of a large increase in the population.
Well may the writer ask, who in 1870
would not have looked on the man as
a dreamer who had ventured to pre-
dict that in the short space of quar-
ter of a century, within a radius of
little more than a mile from West
minister palace, jails should be trans
formed into play places for the work
ers' children; into art palaces for the
improvement of the workers leisure;
Or into schools for the workers little
ones.

EArm Holm.

The help problem is one of the great
est difficulties which stare farmers in
the face. 1t is, moreover, a problem
which refuses to remain still, but is
ever rising up and surrounding them
with some new phase of character.
The great difficulty besides that of get
ting help at all is to obtain reliable
help, faithful employees as well as
capable, and those who will adhere to
an agreement. A New England farm
er, who has had long and varied ex-
perience in hiring farm help, has con-
cluded that there is no TINE so :uspi-
cious for obtaining good hands and
making agreements as in the autumn.
Now, as most farmers know who have
tried it, there is one serious difficulty
at this season of the yea. 1t is tAat
the average workman having enjoyed
more than common compensation dur
ing the winter, will desert his employer
in the spring, because the wages for
the following six months are out of
proportion to the pay received by those
who hire for the summer. The farmer
quoted tells in the Farm Journal how
to obviate this difficulty. He says: The
proper way to surmount this difficulty
is to pay graduated table of
wages for the months throrS hout the
year, something as follows: The Som-
pensation to be made proportionate to
the labor season and the amount of
work to be done. Beginning, we will
say, with October, the man agrees to
take $240 and his board, an average of
$50 per month. This contract in this
region would call for $50 per month
throughout October and November, SIS
for December, $40 through the three
months beginning Jan. /, SIS for April,
$50 for May, $40 for June, $35 for July,
$40 for August, S25 for September.
Here is graduated system of wages
which will give the faithful worker
enough for all needs during the months
of comparative leisure and first class
pay when the days are long and the
labor rigorous. A satisfactory system
of payment of $3.50, including rent,
board and quart of milk daily, with
garden, is this graduated series, with
rent worth $50, fuel $50 and milk and
garden $40. These things, if properly
shown to the hired man, will convince
him they are worth so much, for which
he would have to lay out cash other
wise.

LAND SHARKS IN AUSTRALIA There
are in South Australia about 1850, 900
acres of the IL 100000 acres purchased
of the government out of the total area
of the colony of SIS, 361, 600 acres, which
are held in farms or estates exceeding
5000 acres each. The returns show
that tfty-four estates range from 5000
to 1000 each, nineteen from 10000 to
$4,000, nine from $1,000 to 10000.
thirteen from 10000 to 25, 900, ten from
$4,000 to 10000, eight from 10000 to
10000, three from 5000 to sc, 900, four
from $4,000 to 10000, two from so, 900
to 10000, and one from 9o,OOO to 1Oo.-
35s acres. So it will be seen that
about one fourth of the public land
bought of the government is in the
hands of the so called LANDED pro-
prietors, who can and do gobble up
the small owners almost whenever it
suits their pleasure.

A Michigan correspondent of the
4 American Agriculturist gives the fol-
4 lowing interesting information about
! the business of commercial bean grow
ing. The draught on the planter and
harvester is very light. The cost of
harvesting by machinery does not ex-
I coed so cents per acre. while by hand
IT was about S1.50 The puller leaves
the ground cut up loose, and saves one
narrowing for wheat or rye. If the
beans when hauled to the barn are
ripe and dry, they may be put in mows
the same as wheat. l have had three
Gays lizard and steady rain on a crop
lyinsr on the ground without material
iipjnry; in fact, have seldom "a :sed
crop without at least part of it get
ting wet after it was pulled. In plant
Eng large quantities of beans, it is we'll
to plant at intervals of few days.
Then with the machinery they can be
handled without any hurrying. After
the beans are off the ground it is gen.
orally fitted for wheat. Where it is
intended to plant the ground to crops
the next spring, rye is generally sown.
This will afford a large amount of late
fall pasture, when other pastures are
short, and it is the first to affoxl
green bite in the spring. If allowed
to get start, it becomes almost i'm
( possible to keep it fed down. Many
farmers pillow under the fall sown
rye for corn, or beans again,
and find it an excellent fertil-
izer. The beans are ready to be
threshed at any time after pulling
This is done by steam power in much
the same manner as wheat, although
the separator must be one made espec-
iially for bean threshing The large
wholesale houses send out their buy
ers, and the greater part of the crop is
bought in the barns and delivered by
che farmer, the price ranging from
$1.25 to 81. so per bushel, according to
the condition of the market and the
quality of the crop. The hand picking
is done by the wholesale houses. These
houses employ a large number of
women to aid in the work The beans
are first run through large tanning
mills run by steam, which takes out all
the dirt and damaged beans. The
beans are then carried by an endless
belt, on each side of which the women
are arranged, who pick at the dis
colorcd beans. The refuse beans are
sold for sheep feed at % cents bushel.,
1t is the practice of many seed houses
to furnish the seed and contract to
take crop at certain price, but in
many cases these houses have furn-
ished the garden varieties, and thel
white field bean has, side by side,i
yielded four times the quantity and
brought more per bushel. The vines
and pods are fed to sheep and cattle,
and a ton of them will go further than
a ton of hay. Many farmers are of
the opinion that the vines and pods
from good crop pay all the cost of
producing it.
