SOLVING LABOR PROBLEM.
The Difficulty Which Faces Every
Farmer During the Busy
Time of the Year.

The troubleSie with the men who do
the hiring. They will not recognize
in a material way the difference be-
tween a good and poor hand, The
poor hand claims and usually gets as
good pay as the best. All incentive to
work in the interest of the employer is
thus removed.
The solution of the problem Is, be-
lieve, in wages and privileges. Make
the hired mans interest your own and
he will make your interests his.
Treat him well and If he Is worth
keeping on your farm he will show his
appreciation of It,
The most satisfactory man from all
points of view Is, | believe, the man
with a family, says the tarm and
Home. He should be given a com
Portable house with garden spot and
tho privilege of raising poultry and
the use of COW Grant lnese as fa-
vors and not as part of his salary.
Keep on friendly terms with the wife
and children, and be no stranger to
his home and table. Counsel with him
In regard TO the work and listen to
and thank him for suggestions In
hiring extra help, put him over them
with the responsibility of the work
upon him. Don't boss farther than to
show what you wish done. Leave the
details TO him
First, get good man and pay good
wages A cheap man is dear at any
price. Gain his confidence and good
will and make him interested in the
farm, its stock and its crops. Aad
above all, don't forget that he is a
man with thoughts and feelings Of
other men. If he isn't, he is not
profitable hired man.

THING HILLS.
When the Subsoil Is ImperviouS 10
Water the Use of Tiles Will
Prove of Value.

It is a mistake to suppose that hills
never need to be tiled. Where the
soil is sandy 1t Is of course not neces-
sary to go to the expense of tiline
them, that is, provided the upper soil
and the subsoil are both of a porous
nature We have seen sandy lands
that needed tiling, but they are not
common. The writer has in mind a
field where the lime in the soil seems
10 have worked down into the sulisol
and formed an impervious layer about
as hard as cement. through which the
water could pass at any time of year.
In another field of this nature the
drains had to be blasted through a con.
glomerate formation of rotten rock.
But in most cases the sandy soils
will take care of themselves, and only
the clayey soils on hillsides need much
attention. says the Farmers Review,
There are numerous billsides where
the soil Is of such texture that the wa
ter is very slow in drying out in the
spring and at the ends of the out
cropping layers of clay the soil Is so
springy that in some cases small liv
ing springs are found
The hills have one advantage foi
tiling that the level plains do not have
and that is very decided fall II
takes less science to lay tiles that will
carry water down hill than to lay
tiles on level or nearly level plain
The use of drains, whether tie or 9TH
erwise. will make many of our hill
sides and slopes much earlier in the
spring and prevent the coming of the
very early frosts in the fall

is RECEIVED WITH FAVOR.


St. Petersburg, June 5.-President
Rooseyelts tender of his good Offices to
bring about peace is received with
general favor in the press and by the
public. and a desire that some steps
should be taken toward securing an
honorable peace is increasingly mani
fest.
The Russ declares that the presi-
dents offer should be commended as
an act Of friendship tending to bring
out Japan's terms of peace and Rus
sias acceptance of an offer which
would not mean surrender on humiliat-
ing terms. The paper maintains at
the same time that negotiations, If be-
gun. must be direct, and that there
must be no intervention by other pow
ers
The Bourse Gazette says that Rus
sia must make the best possible use OF
the friendly Offices of the United States
and Great Britain. This paper, as well
as the Syno Tchestva and the Ma
sha2hsiu and others advances the idea
that Japan would be disposed to grant
better terms to the Russian people
than to the bureaucrats who began the
war. These papers reiterate the de-
mand for a zemsky sober to settle the
question. Even the Grashdanin de-
clares peremptorily for peace, the
Novo Vremya alone dissenting from
the general chorus.

Great Britain,s Butter Imports.

In 1887 Great Britain was importing
about $4,000 tons of butter per year.
Last year she imported 2l2,000 tons,
This is an increase Of 10000 tohs in
II years, or an average increase per
year of 5000 tons. The population Of
Great Britain has doubled in so years,
but the butter imports have very much
more than kept pace with the increase
of population Denmark is the great
est source of butter supply the United
Kingdom has to-day. Germany used
to send about 5000 tons annually, but
has now practically dropped out of the
race. The Australasian colonies are
becoming year by year bigger factors
