New York, Dec ga driving snow
storm, accompanied by furious squalls
that at times rose to almost hurricane
force, struck the city early today. Low
ering black clouds pressing down on a
bank of sea fog and the dense character
of the snowfall combined to produce for
nearly half an hour so deep darkness
that light were lit in all the downtown
streets and along the river fronts.
During this period many ferry boats
and other craft lost their bearings COM
pletely and the harbor resounded with the
whistles of vessels cautiously cropping
their way through the gloom. One
Brooklyn boat, heading for the Manhat-
tan side found herself off the Battery
several blocks away from her slip. Ocean
steamers bound IL ana out were compelled
TO stop and lie to until the darkness lifted

SOLVING A PROBLEM.
Problem "A DifiicuIt One, But Ma
chin"ry Does II Partially.

There IL everywhere complaint of a
s"arrify Of farm labor, and if there
wrre no scarcity Of labor in the
rgIuiry there would be scarcity in
The cities There Is work for every
pfrfoH who ought to work, and If
there 3rc lOnicrg and shirks and 9th
rfa, "hO ought 10 but will not work,
me balance between demand and sup
ply " his great commodity is de-
firpycd and necessarily the demand
eScccdr ihc supply. Labor is scarce
on farmr, because much of the coun-
try muscle goes to the cities where
wages are higher and the means for
spending wages everywhere abound.
True many Of these men and bows
from the country may be seen digging
sewers, shOyeling clay, sweeping
ttrcetst driving garbage wagons, and
many Of them on the rockple or in
the municipal boarding house, await
ing an assignment But only few of
them can be considered as having bet
tered their condition, unless in their
own estimation decorated vice is to
be preferred rather than plain virtue.
The solution Of the farm labor prob
lem Is difficult but not hopeless
fash. Already improved implements
have enabled one man to do as much
farm work as three or four men
could do before. But the profitable
use OF such implements requires q
higher order Of intelligence than is
required TO drive mule and guide
n turn plow, and 10 secure such labor
higher prices must be paid. Improved
live stock IL far more profitable than
scrubs; but the handling of fine stock
calls for greater intelligence and
skill, and better men Mt better pay
are required here. But this better
paid labor tx more profitable TO the
employer than the other sort. Scar
city OF farm labor will compel farm
ers TO do some thinking. They win
have TO plan labor-saving convent
enees In every farm operation. Barns,
stables, pens and even crops can be so
arranged and so located as to save a
large amount Of time and many steps,
thus enabling one man 10 do that
which formerly required two or
more. A little ingenuity viii be able

LUCK VERSUS SCIENCE.
There are Many Farmers Yet Who
VIII Not Admit that Science Can
Teach Them Anything.

Men are not as scarce MS they
ought to he who ridicule any idea of
germs as the cause of diseases in
men, animals or plants. If ignoraDce
is not bliss in such cases. it affords
the ignoramus a large amount Of sat
isfaction to sheer at book farming,
and with loud mouth proclaim that
science has nothing to do with farm
ingwhich is merely a matter of plow-
ing and hoeing, and land and rain.
Numerous writers on poultry dis
eases proclaim that filth causes
cholera" 'lice causes cholera and
roup,' and other similar nonsense.
Some say that anthrax and blacleg
are caused by cattle eating weeds,
and that luck and the moon have
more to do with the success and
failure in farming than bacteria, or
anything learned at colleges or from
books And yet many of these OBJ
