DepopuIatiOn of English villages

With a view to placing a check
upon the depopulation of Kentish vii
lagos, which is reaching alarming pro-
portions, several large land owners
have decided upon a system OF pront
sharing with their agricultural labor
ers, hoping by this means to stimulate
Hodge" to take a greater interest In
his employment
The system of sharing farm profits
was initiated by e. W. HuSsey, a
large estate owner, Of Scotney Castle.
Every year the hands are called to
gether and each receives a share Of
the profits made ON the years work
Ing of the farms. On the last occasion
of the profit-sharing each man re-
ceived $1313, while a youths share
amounted to $S.75. In cases where
several members of family are en-
gagged on a farm sums approaching
$4888 have been taken home.
The system has had such success
full results that Mr.. Hussey has re
ceived numerous inquiries asking fol
details as to the working of tho
scheme, with the consequence tina
other farmers In the county have ex
pressed their intention of working OF
similar lines.

keen interest in their work that the,
