THE LABOR QUESTION.

The Long and the Short Way of Set
Ting It-More Machinery.
Referring to the poor quality of labor
In the south, the Southern CuItlyator
says:
We can and should use every effort
to increase the quality Of our labor by
better education and better training.
We should discriminate more in the
wages Of good and sorry hands We
should encourage all such schools as
tend to increase the intelligence of our
labor, both white and colored. We
should do all we can to make farm
life more attractive
But when we have done all that we
can in these directions we find that
they will work slowly. They will not
relieve the present pressing demand
But there is one remedy that we can
and should apply at once.
I've More Farm Machinery.
Use more farm machinery. This will
bring relief ut once TO very many. And
Ii will not cost anything. True, those
machines will cost. but they will not
as much as the human labor would. 1t
will take II little more money to be-
gin with. but one years crop will pay
the bill. You can make the crop for
1903 cheaper with good implements
than with Land labor. With one good
hand and two mules and good ma
chimes you can cultivate as much land
us you can with three mules and four
hands. There will be Il net saving in
the cost OF cultiyating the crop enough
to pay for the machinery, and the ma
chineIy will be on hand ready for
many more years of good work.
Study over. Figure on md Try IL.
Study over this matter. Figure il
out. Try it md see for yourself The
trouble with many farmers Is they
say, MY land is not fixed for machln-
cry" This may be true. But the soon
or you fix it the better for you The
very fixing Will make it produce better
crops. This will increase your profits.
We should not be satisfied to farm for
cost. We should always look for
profit.
With the present unsatisfactory and
insufficient supply Of labor it is dill.
cult to make definite plans and carry
them through. We cannot be sure of a /
profit unless we can do this. SO we will
be compelled to depend less upon labor
and more upon the use Of labor saving |
machinery.

Wnifera' Hands.

Many walters have hands that are
more callous than blacksmith's or
lronworkers The callousness comes
from carrying hot plates, coffeepots
and the like. The heat seems TO fry

to keep them from being burned b,
things that man with ordinary hand
could not stand 1t may have puzzled
people who 30 TO some restaurants to

Little nine-year-old Rachel, whose
falling it was to get stories somewhat
twisted, once heard the conundrum OF
the rat and the thirty ears of corn. II
ran thus: There were thirty ears of
corn I'm bin and rat came along
and carried away three ears every
night. How long did 1t take him to
carry away the thirty cars? The an
swer, of course, was thirty nights,
counting the rats two ears and one ear
of corn.
Rachel thought this wonderfully
good joke and fastened to tell her old
er brother, whom she well knew al
ways appreciated anything along the
line of good joke. Rushing up to him
she said: "Oh, Newman, I've got the
best conundrum you ever heard. See if
you can guess it." And thus she went
on: "There was bag Of potatoes in Il
bin and rat came along and carried
away three potatoes every night. How
long did 1t take him to carry away the
whole bag?"
