decided to purchase a sprinkling cart.

Farming as a Makeshift.

Australia has perSiStently turned
down various schemes for developing,
her territory with the aid of assisted
immigrants. Her objection seems to
be based on the action that the upshot
of such a movement by philanthropists
would be to turn loose upon her a
horde of paupers. Canada, however,
has decided to welcome 200 families
of the unemployed which a generous
banker will send out from England at
his own expense.
People who have the misfortune to be
unemployed and who are willing to be
assisted to new homes are not neces-
sarily paupers in the usual sense Of
the word. But there is prospect Of
their becoming helpless if transplanted
from native environment to conditions
for which they are in every way IN
suited by habit and training. An in
competent person in the country is in
a most hopeless and distressing situa-
ton. Men who can turn their hands
70 farm work and who will take all the
rough knocks of the land toiler's life
can thrive in Australia or Canada OK
anywhere else. Factory hands and
those of desultory employments do not
break into the agricultural harness
readily or if they do will not stick to
the pillow long enough to make the ef-
fort worth while. Now and then q
town bred immigrant who has the en-
ergy to strike out for himself succeeds
as a tiller of the soil, but the chances
are heavily against a man who Is as
sisted to the land simply because he
cannot get along where nature planted
him.
