BY J. n. ARNOLD,
Scientific Assistant, Office Of Farm
Management, v. S. Agrieul-
turai Department.

The city family had some very
praiseworthy ideas about the labor
problem on the farm. On every farm
the economical use OF labor is one
of the most serious problems in farm
ing. and the direct cause of many
failures.
To begin with, the occupations and
labors OF the family were not ar,
ranged from the standpoint OF eco
nomic results, but to train the chill
dren properly and to make the home
pleasant. The children, from the
time they were old enough TO per
form any service have been required
Ito do something for the profit or well
fare OF the family before having any
breakfast"
The work done by the family in
the house was systematized in such
way that each member when old
enough assumed responsibility for
some of the work At the present
time, one son makes the apple or
chard his speciality; daughter is
responsible for the poultry; another
takes charge of the marketing and
bookkeeping. The latter is, by the
way, an important duty on this farm
where everything is accounted for,
from the buying OF a new monkey
wrench TO the selling OF a herd OF
fattened cattle. The farmer can tell
Just how he stands. where he loses,
how, and what on.
The mother does the cooking and
superintends the dairy; the father
looks after the whole farm, sees that
the crops are properly put in and cul-
tivated, and the stock well cared for.
Cooking arrangements are planned to
economize labor and make IL as easy
as possible Only the family live in
the farmhouse, as all laborers hired
are married men, employed by the
year, and who live In houses built
especially for their use.
Each laborer has one acre of ground
for garden, upon which he can land
most OF them do) grow enough to sup
ply his own table and leave some over
to sell. They may keep as many
chickens as they wish. II inclosed.
Barn room and the necessary out
buildings for stock belonging to the
laborers are also furnished.
AS a rule these men have been re-
cruited from the factories, railroads
and mines. They may have been
drawn from the city by inducements
not usually given on farms. Ten
hours of labor is all that is required;
for overtime work extra pay is given.

TEACH CHILD TO PUT TOYS
AWAY.

The child that is old enough to
play with toys is old enough to put
those toys away when through with
them. IN
II is a simple matter to provide n
box or a large drawer for toys-and
II may require several battles to
force little miss OF small mister to
put them back. but IL should be done.
For II a child is allowed TO walk
away from a scatter Of toys, the
chances are that this child, grown up,
will walk away from scattered things
all of its life.
Putting the toys back into the box
or drawer lays the foundation for
habits OF orderliness and system
which will prove simply invaluable
In later life.
And scattered toys all over house
DO not tend to make for peace and
comfort in the house for the grown
ups. either!

1srchandise Worth Thousands Disap,

CHICAGO, April 25.-Merchandise
worth perhaps hundreds OF thousands
u dollars has been stolen from Chi
caeo shippers within the past rev
months stolen so neatly that II was
only recently that the shippers woke
10 the fact that they were being rob
bsd.
Now, however, the system has been
exposed. and shippers and railway
freight oficials stand aghast. For II
begins to look as though the whole
nystem of handling freight en- route

After weeks OF Investigation four
men have been arrested to answer to
the charge OF having engineered these
robberies. One of these - Louis

Two of his alleged confederates have
confessed.
The sysaem Is amazingly simple.

IA some outside town, and ships the
consignment
The only difficulty to be met Is the
bill Of lading question. The receipt
"a bill given to the teamster by the
railway bears the name Of the man

consigning company must be SIP
piled with a bill showing the name If
the original consignee. So the rob-
bers steal blanks and forge bills 70
turn back to the concerns they have
victimized.
The name of the original consignee
never appears on the books or the
railway, and efforts to trace the lost
consignment are thus made very diff
cult BY long investigation, however,
the system was finally exposed.
There Is no telling how much stun
has been stolen thus, but shippers
believe that the aggregate value or
the lost merchandise will run into the
hundreds of thousands. One concern

10000 In one lot. Five thousand dol.
