Problems of Farm Labor

As employers of labor farmers
are at great disadvantage. The
laborer must know exactly what
he is to receive betose the work is
performed, and it is right that he
should, and the farmer employer
is usually liberal and would gladly
pay all the labor is worth to him,
but that important matter he must
take, as the boys say, "unsight, un-
seen." He cannot know what the
result of the laborer's toll may
bring him. He does not know
what his own wages or remunera-
tion is TO be. 1t all depends upon
the price he shall receive for his
stuff, and that is one of the things
unknowable. If he is ordinarily
intelligent, the farmer knows it
does not depend altogether upon
whether much or little is produced,
but upon what the market "bears"
can make it bring at selling time,"
and that the custom then is to rush
it in at "sacritice SALE" The
farmer cannot know how much la
Dor he may employ, nor what
wage he dares to pay. II Is all
guess work with him, Under such
circumstances it is no wonder that
farm labor Is scarce; that labcrers
gravitate to the public works where
organization throws its protecting
arms around them, or that farmers
sons are so prone to DRIFT toward
the cities where at least certainty
of remuneration awaits them.

No. 1858, made August 6, 1901, for NE x SW u

Something's We Cannot Unde rstand

In the course of over fifty years
of observation, we have never yet
seen the farmer, who was liberal
feeder of his cows and heifers, b ut
what made money by ii, no matter
what was the price of grain We
cannot understand why the great
mass of farmers believe in practice
the very opposite course.
Again, the evidence is over
whelmingly in favor OF the state,
ment that no man can afford to
keep COW that will not produce
200 or 240 pounds of butterfat u
year, that it requires, at present
prices, at least l5O pounds of but
ter to pay the cost of keeping u
COW 10 good producing condition,
saying nothing of the expense of
labor. We cannot understand why
the great mass Of farmers, who
keep cows, do not comprehend
these facts and act accordingly.
1t is universally admitted that a
farmer cannot afford TO hinder his
cows from doing iheir best for him
by providing dark, damp, badly
ventilated stables. Yet, from the
Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains,
a great majority of COW stables are
too dark, too damp, and badly
ventilated. In view of the fact that
any farmer may know, If he will,
what constitutes profitable sta
BILE, we cannot understand why the
great majority prefer to have such
Improbable conditions for their
cows to live in.
We cannot understand why so
many farmers seem to desire to
keep their cows in stables that
promote tuberculosis rather than
hinder it; why they are so strange
ly opposed to Il vigorous policy OF
exterminating this disease from
their herds; why, they had rather
disbelieve in the tuberculin test
than believe iu it. All this in face
OF the fact that any man who has
tried to acquaint himself with
truthful knowledge about this dis
ease, must see that his only safety
is in u vigorous policy against it.
And lastly, among host of 9th
or things just as strange, we can,
not understand why, when knowl-
edge of these things is vastly cheap
er and safer not to know, so many
farmers, who keep cows, prefer to
know as little as they possibly can
about them.
Why should dairy farming make
men so oontented in knowing as
little as they possibly can about
their lite business? What is there
about it that should cause so many
who follow il to believe that they
cannot afford to read and become
we'll informed men, "knowing good
from evIl?"
These are strange things to us.
They arc facts which we daily
meet. Every cow census we take
show them to exist in abundance.
And yet we can furnish no good
and sufficient reason why they
should exist as they do.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

Farming News

English and French farmers and
horse owners have been clipping
for years and the American owner
ot horses is not slow to apprecla te
its advantages. A clipped horse
dries out rapidly after hard day
and will rest comfortably and come
out refreshed for the work Of the
following day. An unclipped horse
is likely to catch the hcaves, p neu-
monia and all sorts of colds and
rheumatism. This is especially so
in the spring, when his hair is long
and he is "soft". If worked hard
he will perspire freely and the
moisture will be held by his long
hair and the food that should go
to nourlsh him will be used to re-
plenish the heat that is continual
ly taken from his body by the mass
of cold wet hair. If clipped the
perspiration evaporates almost as
soon as secreted, and when put in
the stable the horse rests comtorta-
bly, and his food does him good
If a man did hard manual work
clothed in heavy underwear,
thick SUIT and fur overcoat and
after perspiring freely, as he natu-
rally would, go to sleep without
removing his wet clothes be could
not expect to enjoy good health.
1t is just as preposterous to expect
u horse to be in perfect health if
worked under the same conditions.
Your horse is valuable asset.
If you would get the best returns
from your investment in him, treat
him right and be sure to clip him
this sprlng.--The Stockman.
