MODERN ENGLISH SERVANTS
Have Higher Pay, More Holidays and
Finer Clothes Than in
Former Times.

Times change, aud our servants
change with them. The results OF the
Lincolnshire MAY Hiring Fairs, which
extend over about ten days. and lately
came to an end, show that the old-fash-
Toned servant maid no longer exists,
says the London Chronicle.
Each succeeding year recently serv-
ants have demanded and obtained high
er wages, and in the case OF domestics
the wages paid for their services are
twice as high as those which prevailed
20 or 30 years ago.
Another direction in which change is
Indicated Is the stipulation for a regular
weekly holiday as part Of the hiring bar
gain. Very few servants will go out to
situations now without the concession
of an afternoon or evening once a week,
and in one case a girl asked for a special
weekly holiday SO that she might take
her music lesson.
Again, there IS the cycling habit. So
many servants on bicycles have never
been seen before as during the recent
vacation. They flocked into East Ang-
liam towns in considerable numbers,
most of them on prettily equipped up-to-
date machines.
The contrast with the "old hands" who
remember the May weeks of 80 years
ago has been very marked. The agricul-
tural laborer is as well dressed now as
his employer, and the dress of each do
nestle would have provoked the x
cIamati0n that she was "a fine lady"
in her grandmother's time.
Another Of the many noticeable
changes which the servant problem
has undergone is that of securing q
girl who will undertake the duties OF
milking. In SO cases out of every 100
this branch of farmhouse work is now
delegated to the menservants.
Such changes as these, which make
the lives of servants more enjoyable
than formerly, and mark their enamel.

The South Carolina farmers are fac
ing a grave crisis this season OF ac
count of the unprecedented scarcity OF
negro farm labor. This Is the case
not only locally, but all over the state,
Tho farmers are facing a situation
which they have not been called upon
to face for many years.
Where the negro labor has gone Is
difficult to tell. One theory IS mat the
10, 900 men employed in railroad worr
in Virginia partly accounts for the
scarcity. Another is that so many
negroes have gone north that the
south has been depleted. Things have
come to such a pass that many whltc
mill operatives are returning to their
former homes in the county, owing to
the big advance in farm labor wages.
There is considerable land lying idlc
in this section by reason or scarcity
of labor.-N. o. Picayune.

Intensive farming is just the oppo-
site OF the ordinary method, 1t is ac-
complished by the free use Of stable
manure, supplemented by the use OF
the right kind of commercial fertil-
izcrs, applied to a soil the particles OF
which are made as fine as possible
before planting, so that the fertilizins
materials will be readily asiimilated
by the soil, and then by the plants,
BY intensive farming the yield can be
so Increased that enough viii be re-
allied from each acre to make the
post of the commercial fertilizers a
most satisfactory investment. 1t is
tho kind of farming that yields the

of others to-day; thought | could not
live without drinking strong coffee
every morning for breakfast and | had
sick headaches that kept me in bed
several days every month. Could hard

would vomit as long as | could throw
anything UP and when | could set hot
coffee TO stay on my stomach ! thought

TO breakfast, not to eat anything, but
to force down some more coffee, Then
