SCOTCH FARM WORKERS.
The Class That Has Furnished Many Emil
nent Men.

nent Men.
The agricultural laborers of Scot
land are, as a class, healthy and tenn
perate; they receive small wages. The
Scottish peasantry have played an i'm
portant part in the development of
their nation. They are thrifty. re-
ligious, and well Observation-Disclosures to
the facilities for education provided
for them through the liberality Of the
church of Scotland. 1t is from this
class that many Of Scotia's eminent
sons have arisen. They are, however,
very poor, and when their children are
young, they are unable to provide for
sickness or death. They work twelve
hours day, receive fourteen shillings
or fifteen shillings a week. have a free
house, with n small garden. AS the
children grow up they are sent into
service to relieve the burden that rests
upon the parents. From their we'll
stocked gardens, the Scottish agricul-
tural laborers obtain potatoes, green
vegetables. and fruit
Many of them get their milk either
free or at nominal cost from the
farm. The family breakfast consists
of porridge and milk; dinner of broth,
meat and potatoes and tea; at six p. m.
they have porridge and milk, followed
by tea, with bread, butter and jam.
The wife of one of the cottars, who
furnished the facts through DR.. Wylie,
Stewarton, Ayrshire, for me, states
that her husband receives fifteen shil-
lings week and the allowances al
ready alluded to, and that she is able
to keep the household Ii. c., her hus-
band, self and five children) on twelve
shillings to thirteen shillings week,
the remainder being required for
clothing, boots, etc. The cottar, prac-
tically, can make no provision what
ever for sickness and death, unless in
q few cases only, where he pays PEN
ny or two-pence week into burial
society. 1t Is when his children grow
mp and enter service that he may DO
able to save a little money. Fortnight
