Current Comment.

CoRN.-The market has worked yet high
er during the week, but this has been due
to the increase in the cost to ship.
BEANs.-Receipts have been moderate
but trade has been quiet and there is no
further advance in prices of white beans
OATs.-The market has worked higher
during the week, while the spot demand has
been only fair. The tone is firm at the
close.
msnd for the past week but receipts have
increased good deal and the tone has been
only fairly steady.
BUTTER.-Receipts show further con-
siderable increase this week but there has
been very fair demand, and so far there
has been no surplus of really fine butter
Low grades are also we'll sold up, hardly
anything here under lac.
FLoUR.-The price of flour has ruled high
during the week, but at the advance asked
buyers have not been disposed to do much.
There has been considerable flonr changed
hands from second hands however, and the
demand from mill agents has also shown
some business.
CHEEsE.-Recepts for export Alb boxes
The market has ruled steady but not very
active for the past week. Stocks are being
| gradually reduced however and there is a
generally confident feeling. Fine fall north
ern are seldom offered at anything under &c
and some are held higher. Medium and
low grades steady at quotations.
LUMBER The conditions that exist in
| Northern and Eastern lumber are rather
| undefinable. There is much caution shown
by both buyer and seller, and the result is
| light volume of business. The mills in
Maine are not running very full, and are
| afraid to ship their customary amount,
knowing that our markets are not in condi-
| ton to take it.
Wool. - Sales for the week, 1,010,500
pounds. The easing OF money and the stir
in manufacturing circles, occasioned by
Government demands, have had a reviving
| influence for the moment on the languid
money rates and greater willingness on
the part of banks to place loans have to
gether served to relieve in measure the
high tension Of feeling.

The Farm Help Question.

There seems to be no question of
more importance to the farmer, espe-
cially at this season of the year, than
the hired-help question. Doubtless
there are two sides to the question and
the farm hand would have something
to say about the farm employer had he
the opportunity and courage. There
are farmers who are 80 difficult to suit
that no man can stay with them very
long, but they are very rare exceptions.
As rule the farmer is working man
himself and one who knows how to do
the work required of the hired man will
be much less likely to be unreasonable
in his requirements, A writer in the
Indiana Farmer says:
"Having been raised on large farm,
necessitstiug hired labor, has given me
some opportunity to observe the best
management of farm labor. Whether
the hand is boarded or lives in tene-
ment house, it is best to speak kindly
in moderate tone, in directing work,
making your plans plain, remember
ing always that what you have thought
over in regard to special piece of
work may be very obscure to man
who has not ever had hint of your
plans. Having used this precaution
you will gain the confidence of your
man and you are in fair way to have
work done as you want it. If occas-
ionally something done falls short of
expectations in the manner or amount
done, do not fly into passion and give
him off, but say nothing till you have
calmly studied the matter over, and
nine to one you will conclude that had
you no more experience in this special
kind of work than he has you would
not do better, remembering too that he
may have worked for some other man
whose ideas were very different from
yours. With us when hand boards
with us he is made to feel that this is
home and joins in the chores as well as
the day work. Sometimes man is
picked up who is rather careless about
his toilet, but by having place with
convenient scrapers and room for
cleaning dirty boots and wash basin al
ways in place at the cistern, with hint
thrown in by way of example, we have
little trouble along this line.
We have man now who began with
US three years ago at sixty cents pei
day and board. We also pastured his
horse, he doing his own Cor having
done) washing. After six months he
took himself a wife, bought house
and lot adjoining our farm. Wages
were now raised to seventy-fve cents
per day and dinner. This arrange
ment still prevails agreeable to all con
cerned, as at night we have our homes
to ourselves. We require nothing of 6
hired man Sundays, yet if our man ant
wife find we are going to be away theil
services are invariably rendered to care
for anything that may need attention
such as young chickens, watering stock
on hot days, etc. mirror and Farmer.

Large or Small Breeds.

A small hen will Icy as many eggs in
a year as one that is large. She is also
a more active forager, and if given an
opportunity on the range, will pick up
the larger share of her food and keep
in good health from the exercise.
Those who have limited facilities, such
as small poultry house, should prefer
the small breeds, as fifteen Legherns
will require no greater space on the
roost than twelve large Brahmas, and
will consume no greater amount of
food, while the larger number of hens
should result in more eggs than from
fewer fowls.
