HOW ERENcH FARMS APE
WORKED.
HOW
From the Rich Landowner to the Hall
Share Man.

Share Man.
In France there is a hierarchy Of
farmers.
The great landowners we need not
consider. They are not in their fields.
They are idling, gaming, talking poll
tics in Paris. They number their acres
by the thousands. Take the French
Rothschilds, for instance-they own
100000 acres of land Other barons
Of finance and many gentlemen of an.
cient house are masters of similar es.
tates.
Such farmers" as these are at the
head of the hierarchy, the farming ba.
ron. the gentleman farmer. Their
lands are exploited in the broad, bust
nesslike way that rules the syndicate
wheat farms Of the great Northwest
Let us go down the scale. Next in
order come the farmer generals. They
are middlemen. They are the CAPT.
talists who stand between the owner.
from whom they rent hundred farms,
and the tenants to whom they subet.
Few Of them have ever turned a fur.
row. The farmer general is an inter.
mediary parasite,
At this point in the agricultural
hierarchy comes the man who cult
Yates his fields. The largest class is
made up of those who rent their farms
as in England-from some great
land owner; If the lease be long and
the terms be good he fares not Ill.
He owns his stock and implements.
Usually he is we'll to do. He employs
dozen men, laborers, shepherds.
More and more he is becoming the
type Of the French farmer, for the
small owner-he who ploughed his
own acres-is giving way before the
universal tendency toward concentra-
ton; even so the little shopkeeper is
being destroyed by the all absorbing
department store.
In a great measure this man is indie.
pendent. Twice a year he pays his
rent; probably he rents his farm on
a lease Of three, six and nine years.
He is master in his domain. He may
sell, buy, SOW and garner as he will.
Perhaps his greatest difficulty is in
procuring laborers, for the young men
go TO the cities, to the factories; so
he works from dawn to dusk and with
him in the field his women work.
Lower in the scale is the farmer
who works his LAND on shares, receiv.
ing one.half Of the product. His farm.
ing is done under the direction of the
owner or farmeT.general. This is the
method in vogue at Ferrieres, the
great estate of the Baron Rothschild
in the Seine.et.Marne. Usually but a
small farm is allotted to the half
shares man." In reality ne is the
serf of the new regime, for financial
feudality has preserved many OF the
old servitudes of the soil.
In the first place he may at any
time be called away to work in the
owners fields. He must make all re-
pairs. He must dig trenches wherever
the owner sees fit. He must supply
all the straw and hay the owner re-
Quires and send to his kitchen eggs
and butter and vegetables in season
He must allow all or any of the own
er's laborers to cook their food in his
kitchen whenever such laborers are
employed near by. And lastly If the
owner finds the work i'll done he may
hire outside laborers and send them
into the fields, for which the half
shares, man" must pay.-From the
Outing Magazine.
