Mr.. BarrOw's Third Article.

on my plan to make labor better treat,
OF the adjustment Of our farming oper.
ations and the labor that we have Sc.
cured for the year, and Of the method
or rule that we should adopt in hiring
labor. First, we should ascertain how
much crop we can cultivate with the
labor that we have secured for the year,
and govern our crops accordingly.
Second, in having labor we should
be governed by the following rule:
Employ no labOrer that does not have
a written statement from the last man
that he or she worked for, stating the
kind or grade Of laborers they were,
and the character they had. We
should not employ a thief if we know
it. We can't employ thief, knowing
~, without being responsible in mea-
sure for the thieving that he does.
When we employ "A thief we furnish
the base for him to operate upon, and
the thevIng he does from our neigh
bors we are jointly responsible for
This makes it very necessary for
US to have statement from the
party he last worked for in regard to
his or her character. 1t is important
from another view. We are response
bic as citizens to the community at
large to do what we can to make our
citizenship better If we would only
employ laborers that haye good charac.
tiers we would do more TO stop the pet
ty thieving in the country than all the
courts do in Furnishing the thieves for
stealing, and if we would require the
labOrers to bring with them recon-
incubation from the last party they
worked for, we would do more to I'M
prove the quality Of labor and prevent
1t from jumping their contracts when
some little thing goes wrong, than any
thing could be done.

Hard Winter Coming.

"All the signs in the woods" eX-
planned an experienced woodsman
point to a very severe winter, though
it may be short one. The squirrels
have already begun laying away their
winter store Of nuts. The crop of
acorns, hickory and chestnuts is I'M
usually large this fall, some trees that
have come under my observation bear
ing at least double the quantity they
did last year. This is very reliable
sign of a severe winter.
Another sign is, the crop of perslm-
mons, which is also extra heavy. The
few frosts that we have had have not
done much to ripen the persimmon
and many Of them are yet green.
These signs are entitled to some depen-
dence, though, Of course, they are not
recognized a iniallible by the author
tiles on the subject. II the persimmon
ripens and fails early the winter will
be brief, but if it holds on to the tree
late into the fall the winter is very
liable to be late in its wind-up and
severe while it prevails. The animals
are preparing for a cold winter, and
there are some reasons for believing
that they know what they about.
