Farm Help less Extensive.

Farm labor is cheaper than it was
at this time last year and is pretty
sure to continue so for the season
There has been some curtailment in
manufacturing throughout the coun-
try, the result being that great many
men are out of work With this condi-
ton farmers find that they can get
help more readily now than they have
been able to for years.
1t is ascertained that when contracts
have been made in the middle West
and Southwest for farm hands the
rate of wages averages about IS per
month lower than that prevailing a
year ago.
A common rate of pay for farm
hands at this time is $25 per month,
as against $50 last season. Competent
men with experience in special depart
ments of farming will command more
but not as much as in 1905 and 1907
Good live stock hands receive S35 to
$45,l but above this there are few men
hired even for fancy farming or the
specialties who are receiving more.

If you want quick-growing wind

ting out a windbreak. one of the chic
points to have in mind is that it may
be a great nuisance IL located within so

the drifting Of snow onto It. A farm
windbreak should be large enough to
include all the land devoted to farm
buildings. garden, barnyard, paddocks,

rods wide. But windbreak Of these
proportions Is not, always practicable.
although as a rule 1t is practicable on
our Western prairies The common
mistake Of those who start on prai-
rie farms and wish to put up wind
breaks is that they do not inclcse
enough land. and in few years they
