THE TENANT FARMER.
md His Tenant Farmers
should BE Mutual.
The last census informs us that the

The last census informs MS that the
percentage Of American farms uperat-
ed by tenants is thirty-hye, or more
than OHe-Jbird The increase in TWEEN
~ years amounts 10 10 per cent, and
since 1880, Of Z per cent, showing that
The rate Of increase is growing high
or as time passes. This shows that we
are drifting toward a system of land
lordism. It is not denied that tenant
farming is bad for the farm, and thai
farms worked by tenants not only do
not increase in value, but often de-
crease in value compared with farms
worked by owners. The common GUS
tom Of landlords is to spend as little
Of money or labor as possible 10 make
the farm attractive to the bette, class
OF tenants, What is wanted is the
cash where money rent is stipulated,
or the lions share Of the crop when
that is the agreed rental. Therefore
the less the landlord spends in making
the farm a good one, the greater his
net profit at the end Of the lease
Some landlords provide all needed
conyeniences for their tenants, such
as comfortable houses, vegetable gar
dens, fruit trees, poultry houses, lots,
stables and pens for live stock, with
a little ornamentation about the tene-
ment thereon to please the wife and
children, On farms thus managed the
best tenants will DO found, and they
remain until ready to move into a
home Of their own and cultivate their
own acres. The tenant of the skin
flint landlord has to change his place
and his landlord before he will be able
to buy a home There are many ways
in which the landlord may benefit his
tenant while benefiting himself He
can counsel with him, unselfishly ad-
wise Aim. He can furnish him reading
matte, that will increase his crops, for
farmers as well as farms need fertiliz-
ing He should advise the tenant to
take good agricultural papers, to at
tend and participate in farmers insti-
tutes, and In every way he can en-
courage him to do better farming For
between landlord and tenant there
| should be such community Of inter-
est that what is for the benefit of one
is also for the benefit of the other

What becomes of the child actors
Too often a few months or years Of
stage experience convince both mother
and child that there are other callfnes
equally honorable, and perhaps more
lucrative, than the actors profession.
Marriage takes many young girls from
the stage they have known all their
lives, and the sure returns of business
management is apt to tempt boy actors
to step across the footlights to a posi-
ton nearer the box-oficc, but the ay-
erage stage children, attractive because
Of their youngness, grow up into sheen

whose gambols amused, and unable to
secure legitimate dramatic ENGAGEMENTS.
