FARM WAGES.
Higures as to Rates Paid In England
and the Unite Statea.

The August Labor Gazette, n govern
ment publication issued monthly by the
British Board of Trade, gives an inter
esting account Of the half-yearly ngri-
cultural hirings at Whitsuntide. 1901, for
the counties OF Cumberland, Westmore-
and and North Lancashire, which affords
an instructive view OF the rates paid
farm hands In England. The official re-
port prepared for the department states
that "the supply OF male farm servants
was fairly plentiful, owing partly to
slackness OF employment in other indus
tries" but that wages showed down
ward tendency in the case OF men. but
women were scarce and their wages
were well maintained"
The following were the rates generally
agreed upon for the half year:
Per six months
with board.
Best men ..................s1J.O TO SlOc 90
Second class men........... JnOpto 1900
Youths and boys ........... 2O.OOto 5O.Oo
Best women ............... 600 to 1900
Second class women and
girls .......... .....-.... 200 10 Op.uo
These rates have been slightly incrcas-
ell in the transcription from English
money into dollars and cents at the ratio
Of So per pound, but they afford clear
and authoritative exhibit OF what British
farm hands are receiving by which every
intelligent American farm hand can COM
part the wages he receives.
Without knowing the number OF men
employed In each class aud at varying
rates therein II is. OF course. impossible
to arrive at an average rate OF compensa-
tion. But with 500 per half year for
the highest and $50 for the lowest OF the
second-class men II is evident that the
yearly average for male farm hands ex-
elusive OF youths and boys In Great
Britain cannot be much. II any. above
$50 year, while the average for wom-
en- would be somewhere around 500.
We have no similar figures for the
United States. but In recent bulletin
entitled Wages OF Farm Labor In the
United States" issued by the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, the figures OF the
average monthly wages Of farm laborers
In this country are given. Multiplied by
six. TO arrive at the half yearly rate,

REcLAIMINe THE ARID WEST
Sentences from President Roosevelt'i
Utterances on Irrigation.)
Successful home making is but another
name for the upbuilding of the Nation.


The products of irrigation will for a
time be consumed chiefly in upbuilding
tries, which would otherwise not come
into existence at all.
No reservoir or canal should ever pe
built to satisfy selfish, personal or local
interests, but only in accordance with
the advice of trained experts, after long
investigation has shown the locality
where all the conditions combine to make
the work most needed, and fraught with
the greatest usefulness to the commu-
nifty as a whole.
The believers in the need OF irrigation
will most benefit their cause by seeing to
it that 1t is free from the least taint
of excessive or reckless expenditure Of
the public moneys.
Whatever the nation does for the ex-
tension of irrigation. should harmonize
with and tend to improve the condition Of
those now living on irrigated lands.
Whoever controls stream practically
controls the land 1t renders productive,
and the doctrine of private ownership of
water, apart from land, cannot prevail
without causing enduring wrong.
The passage Of the National Irriga-
tion Law was one of the greatest steps,
not only in the forward progress Of the
States, but to that of all mankind.
The benefits which have followed un-
aided development in the past, Justify
the nations aid and cooperation in the
more difficult and important work yet to
be accomplished.
The larger development which national
aid insures should, however, awaken in
every arid State the determination to
make its irrigation system equal in JUS
tice and effectiveness to that Of any
country in the civilized world. Nothing
could be more unwise than for Isolated
communities to continue to learn every.
thing experimentally, instead OF profit
ing by what is known elsewhere.
A careful study should be made, both
by the Nation and the States, of the irri.
cation laws and conditions here and else
where.
1t is as right for the national govern.
ment to make the streams and rivers OF
the arid region useful by engineering
works for water storage as to make use
ful the rivers and hlrbors of the humid
region by engineering works Of another
kind.
In his second message to Congress,
December, 1902. President Roosevelt
said: Few subjects OF more importance
have been taken up by Congress in recent
years than the Inauguration of the sys
TEN OF nationally aided irrigation of the
arid regions OF the far West. A good
beginning therein has been made.
So far as they are available for agricul
ture, and to whatever extent they may
be reclaimed under the National Irriga
ton Law, the remaining public land,
should be held rigidly for the home
builder-the settler who lives on his LAND
and no one else"

No Room for Fence Posts in Japan.

No Room for Fence Posts In Japan.
In Japan, when farmer permits
telegraph or telephone pole to be
erected on his land he has made a
great concession to modern reform,
says Harold Boice in the Bookloyers'
Magazine. Only the exceedingly rich
have fences around their farms In ia
pan, not because Of the cost OF the
fence, but because of the value OF
the square inches the posts and pick
cts would consume. If border Is de-
sired around field it is customary to
plant mulberry trees. The total area
of ground in japan thus devoted to
the silkworm tree, which otherwise
would be taken up with fences,
amounts to about 100000 acres. This
has no reference to the mulberry
farms and groves, the area for which
is over three times as much. The
fact that a Japanese farmer is forced
to figure on the amount Of ground a
fence post would occupy and the in
teresting fact that the government, in
its statistical enumeraions, has had
the areas covered by individual null
berry trees on farm boundaries care
fully computed, demonstrates the
great value of arabic land.

here we were, up under the Dome,

chickens without any protecting wing.

I thought l should have to give up
when my shirt waists all got soiled
end had nothing to wear Then we
took to leather skirts, leggins and. at
times, even to boots.
81 don't mind saying" Miss Pickler
went on, that one Of the reasons we
have kept working hard here is to
live down a mean joke. Someone,
perhaps not intending that the thing
should go too far, spread report that
we had struck gold running $4,000 a
ton. Indeed, some Of our samples

sent to the assay Office were loaded
with pure gold by the joker. The as
say was all right, but, sad to say, our
mine was not. Running $4,000 ton!
Think of it! And we're not running
anything yet.
But we will strike 1t If it's here.
We are down 200 feet now and are
hrstling with the help OF the two
hired men. And we will keep at 1t,
regardless of appearances or gossip"
Just then Miss Kepford, in leather
skirt and boots, came up out OF the
shaft and joined in the chat. She
vouched for the determination OF MISS
P.ckler and herself to "see the thing
through" and mot to cry" if the claim
should prove worthless.
Every evening, when sunset tnts
st. Peters Dome, the girls quit the
shaft together and go over to their
CAMP After setting the kettle to boil
they shift clothes and get ready for
supper-bacon and eggs, coffee, jam,
perhaps some biscuit, ofttimes baked
by themselves.
Now and then neighbor or visit
ing prospector chances to blow into
camp" and is INTRODUCED. He's made
welcome right away, even asked to
share luncheon or supper. II the
evening is fair, the little company sits
outside the storage tent-the dining
fQnIQ
covered with a strip Of oil cloth-out
in the open, under great pine trees,
and no more convivial party could be
imagined.
After supper, as the shadows creep
round the camp and the embers OF
the fire sputter and glow, and then
grow DINNER and DINNER, and the
moon comes out of the blackness OF
the night, the girls take up mando-
Inns and pick them tinklingly, the
while softly humming some bits of
opera or lullaby they used to sing
to their own true friends at home.
So much for the "gold mine," and
the singularly strange and plucky ca
reer these girls have chosen. But,
with all the romance of the environ
ment and their lonely vigil and labons,
thew have set themselves against a
rainy day in businesslike manner.
OF course, they know that a line to
their parents at any moment would
bring check, but they wish to make
good with their venture. So they
have taken over lot Of granite prop
erty, and it is said to be a "fnd."
