SOLVING A PROBLEM.
The Solution of the Farm Labor
Problem = Difficult One, But Ma
chineTy Does 1t Partially.

There IL everywhere complaint OF a
scarcity Of farm labor, and If there
were no scarcity Of labor in the
country there would be . scarcity in
the cities. There is work for every
person who ought to work, and If
there are loafers and shirks and 9TH
ers, who ought to but will not work,
the balance between demand and sup
ply of his great commodity is de-
stroyed and necessarily the demand
exceeda the supply. Labor is scarce
on farms. 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 boys
from the country may be seen digging
sewers, shoveling claT, sweeping
streets, driving garbage wagons, and
many of them ON the rockpile or in
the municipal boarding house, await
ing an assignment. But only few Of
them can be considered az 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
task. 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
! turn pillow, and to secure such labor
higher prices must be paid. Improved
live stock il Tar more profitable than

scrubs; but the handling Of fine stock
calls for greater intelligence and
skill, and better men at better pay
are required here. But this better
paid labor is more profitable to the
employer than the other sort. Scar
city of farm labor will compel farm
ers to do some thinking. They will
have to plan labor-saving convent
ences in every farm operation. Barns,
stables. pens and even crops can be so
arEenged and SO located as to save q
largo amount Of time and many steps.
thus enabling one man to do that
which formerly required two or
more. A little ingenuity will be able
TO save labor at almost every turn.
a farmer was making plank drag.
He wanted it six feet wide and his
boards were IL feet long and the old
hand saw dull. His son. who was
helping him, said, ''pa, let's make It
as long as the planks." It was done
and the result was better work and
clear saving of four days labor Of
man and two mules. Planting a soil
ing crop on three sides Of the feeding
pen was estimated by the farmer who
did it to have saved at least weeks
time in the labor Of feeding. Then la
bor-saving implements for preparing
the Land, planting, cultivating and
harvesting crops are entitled to all
the thought the farmer can bring to
bear on the subject, and if he does
this mental work well, and puts his
conclusion into practice he can be to
a large extent independent of cheap
farm labor, and can make higher
priced labor profitable.-Texas Farm

wife, and she and her children have
accordingly travelled extensively in
deed, 1t is said that Princess Alice has
been nicknamed by some Of her cousins
The Mermaid, because Of her con-
slant and close association with the
sea.
Prince Andrew of Greece, who is his
parents fourth son, has long been a
favorite nephew of Queen Alexandra,
and his portrait occupies prominent
position in her boudoir at Sandringham.
He Is, like all the SONS of the king of
Greece, very fine and cheery-looking
young man. He met his pretty flancee
at the coronation, and it Is said to have
been q case of love at first sight. It Is
an open secret that the course Of true
love did not in this case at first run
smooth, for both the prince and princess
are very young, and not overblessed
with this worlds goods. However, all
has now been arranged satisfactorily,
and the royal family is celebrating the
betrothal in the good old-fashioned way
by giving series of dinner parties In
honor of the happy couple. Prince and
Princess Louis Of Battenberg own the
castle Of Heilgenberg, and there they
often spend Prince Louis leaves Of alb

FARMER AND PL ANTER.
MARKET GARDENING.
inE . Prime Facter In Urban
Economics.

~ Il
The truck farmer is rapidly becom-
Ing . prime factor in the economics
Of q great city, and the nearer he
comes to understanding the art Of
gardening the greater his profits and
the more extended the benefits de-
rived by the community from his in
dustry.
1t is not all Of truck farming to
pillow and plant, to hoe and weed, but
the farmer must know how to main
tain the fertility Of the soil. To this
end, good general knowledge OF the
use of either natural or artificial
manures is essential, and then he
must have full appreciation Of the
rotation OF crops and of the benefits
to be derived from an occasional
green manuring to put the soil il
good filth, and he would be a poor
operator, indeed, did he not know
something of the relation that water
holds to the plant creation and of the
best mears of conserving that rela~
ton.
In market gardening we first have
man himself as the most important
factor, for. upon him rests the re-
sponsibility of the selection of suit
able site, the preparation of the soil,
the seeding, growing and care of the
coming crop, and finally of its mar
keting, with the hundred and one de-
tails that enter into these operations.
The field for market gardening Is
. large ono, and is az yet but partial
~ occupied; this to the man who is
equipped with a good knowledge Of
plants and their requirements, Of
soils and what is needed to keep
them abundantly supplied with plant
food with the slightest outlay Of cap
ital, the field il q very inviting one.
The agricultural colleges of the
land are now equipped to impart this
and their facilities for
are constantly increasing. It |
$ coming to be recognized more and
more that theory and practices sci
.nce and art, must go hand in hand
t we would have strong all-around
men; therefore the prospective gard
'ner should supplement his practical
experience with the scientific train
ng afforded by good agricultural
'ollege.-St. Louis Star.

Dogs VERSUS sheep.

Sheep properly handled were al
ways and in all countries more profit
able that cattle. Therefore 1t IL q
thing to be wondered at that more
farmers do not keep sheep. Some Of
them, possibly, prefer dogs, and dogs
and sheep seldom fraternize, except
when one is within the other. And
then the law discriminates against
sheep and in favor Of dogs, taxing
the one and not taxing the other.
This is because there are more voters
engaged in the dog than In the sheep
business, and it is the voters that
must be placated. Farm and Ranch.

HERE AND THERE.

One advantage the hog grower
has over the horse or COW man IL
that his crop natures, and the re-
turns are all in SO much sooner.
Every farmer is personally inter-
ested in good roads. Everything he
raises must be transported. The cost
Of transportation is large item in
his business.
The head must have good theory
before the hand can do the best work
In actual practice. The more you
read and study agriculture the better
you can farm.
Cow peas planted on wheat stub
BILE, to be mown and followed by lats
sown winter wheat, and repeated,
whenever tested, has proven q good
combination, actually increasing the
yield Of wheat.
About one-haf Of the feed value
OF the corn crop is in the stalks, and
wherever this fact is thoroughly un-
derstood the corn grower considers il
just as important to shred the fodder
as to husk the ears.
Using fertilizers on growing
crops will often pay well. From $50
to 200 pounds per acre OF any am
nominated goods put in the middle
Of rows and narrowed in will greatly
increase the amount Of fruit on cot
ton and the weight Of the ears ON
corn.
1T is not generally known, even
to sheep men, that black leg and an
thrax are almost as common among
sheep as among cattle. Also, that
there is really more danger to men
from anthrax in sheep than in cattle,
for the reason that actual contact
with the diseased animal IS mors
common in the case Of sheep.
If you want to kill out an Or
chard, good way IS to plant corn or
small grain, especially winter sown.

The less foundation there Is for a SLAM
der the longer it lives. How many ideas
are in existence to-day that have been
handed down through the channels OF
literature and verbal tradition and are
firmly believed in by the mass Of man
kind, and yet are absolutely erroneous.
For example, take that common idea Of
woman's garrulity. From the preya-
lence of this mistaken notion one might
imagine that man has lost the power
Of speech and that woman is the sole
medium for verbal communication. The
so-called Comic papers. TEEN with
jokes in which woman's alleged fond
ness for words. words, words,'' az
Hamlet says, is held up for ridicule. The
men who write cynical paragraphs for
the press are continually sharping on
this ancient theme of feminine loquacity
with such remarks as this: "a man
in Missouri hasn't spoken word to
his wife in 16 years. Perhaps he was
to interrupt" Or, at was
said Of certain great man that he
could be silent in seven languages. It
is rarely that woman prefers one-sey-

Is somewhat of conversational calling
