Farm Help.

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 we'll 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-
cluced that there is no time so auspi
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 year. 1t is that
the average workman having enioyed
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 ebviate this difficulty. He says: The
proper way to surmount this difficulty
is to pay a graduated table of
wages for the months throughout the
year, something as follows: The co.'s
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 $40 and his board, an average of
SEQ 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. l, SIS for April.
$50 for May, $40 for June, S35 for July.
$50 for August, SOS 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 a quart of milk daily, with
garden, is this graduated series, with
rent worth $50, fnel $50 and milk and
garden $50. 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.

Commercial Bean Growing.

A Michigan correspondent of the
American Agriculturist gives the fol-
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-
coed 80 cents per acre, while by hand
1t was about S1.5O. 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. have had three
days hard and steady rain on a crop
lying on the ground without material
injury; in fact, | have seldom raised a
crop without at least part of it get
ting wet after it was pulled. In plant
ing large quantities of beans. it is well
to plant at intervals of a 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 large amount of late
fail pasture, when other pastures are
short, and it is the first to afford a
green bite in the spring. If allowed
to get a start, it becomes almost i'm
possible to keep it fed down. Many
farmers pillow under the fall sewn
rye for corn, or beans again.
and find it an excellent fertil-
lzer. 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-
ially 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 bv
the farmer, the price ranging from
S1.25 to $3.50 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 out the dis
colored beans. The refuse beans are
sold for sheep feed at 25 cents a bushel
1t Is the practice of many seed houses
to furnish the seed and contract to
take crop at a certain price, but in
many cases these houses have furn-
ished the garden varieties, and the
white field bean has, side by side.

the opinion that the vines and pods
from a good crop pay all the cost of

CHECK THE WEEDs.-We never liked
the practice of letting the weeds grow
until their seeds were ripened. which
is often defended by the plea that they
can then be gathered together and
burned. A great many weed seeds are
shelled in cutting Or pulling the weed
and getting it to the heap. Then un-
less some dry wood is used to make an
extremely hot fire, it is by no means
certain that all the weed seeds will be
destroyed. The heat of fire bursts the
seed pods, and they fall to the earth. If
the fire burns slowly without much
heat, the carbonic acid gas which is
thus developed does not rise and be
dissipated into the air, but remains at
the bottom to burn. The weed seeds
are thus protected, and will often
spring up, especially around the edges
OF the fire where q heap of weeds was
burned the previous year.-Ex.

The Commanders Calendar.

THE YOUTHS COMPANION has just
published calendar for 1895 which is
a work of ATTENDED,, three works of
art in one. Scenes typical Of three
seasons of the year, Winter, Summer,
Autumn, are shown. The first picture
represents mother and son pausing
in their walk in snowy field, across
which rabbit is running, much to the
amusement of the boy.
The artist in the summer scene has
pictured three children rowing down a
winding river; and were it not for the
apples which fill the pan in her arms,
one would scarcely imagine that the
graceful girl in the third picture was
typical of Autumn. Around the pic
lures are grouped the monthly calen-
dars, tied together by ribbons.
This attractive calendar and full

upon application, to any one consider
ing subscription to THE COMPANION.
From no other paper can so much en-
tertainment and instruction be OBJ
tanned for so little money (only S1.75 a

voking the Divine favor, asking God to
make them one in Christ. A bounti-
full supper tremendously enjoyed by a
large assembly showed "Hardtimes" a

In the course Of our conversation he
said: "The railroad companies are do
ing more for the cause of temperance
than all the churches in the nation put
together. Take the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, for instance 1 have trav-
eled for years over this road, and have
yet to see the first employee taking a
drink have offered it to them my

er hear of an accident on tn is road, and
though it does a tremendo Us business
the personal habits Of its en- lployees are
such that a man feels safe while in one

that of late years the railroad companies
have become more strict ON their men,
and that the cause of temperance has
been greatly adv anced as result.
