WISCONSIN FARM
HANDS BEST PAID
PAYS LABoRERs MORE THAN
TWICE AS MUCH AS THE
SOUTHERN STATES.
HIGHER At HARVEST TIME
average Monthly Wage of Hired
Hands in Badger State Was $27.4o
During 1s12-Averase for Entire
United States Only $50. 81.

washington, d. C.-The state of
wisconsin has the highest priced
farm labor in the United States, east
OF the Mississippi river, according to
taDulation made by government sta
tlst1clans. The average monthly
wage of the 'hired hands" in the
state OF Wisconsin during 1912 was
$27.40, with board. The average for
the entire United States was only
SzO.Sl, and this includes the higher
salaries paid in the Rocky Mountain
states, which, owing to local condi-
tlons, are abnormally high. Nevada,
Tor instance. has an average wage of
S4O.2O per month, with board.
The Wisconsin rate is more than
twice that paid in most of the south
ern states. 1t is greater by $40
than the rate paid in Illinois. Michi-
gan pays $24.50, almost So less than
Wisconsin. In Indiana and Ohio the
wage is $21.50, or almost Sc less
than the pay of the Wisconsin work
er. The highest pay in New England
is $3.50 in Vermont, and from this
the wages on the north Atlantic
coast run down to $3.50 in Pennsyl-
vania. On the south Atlantic coast
the wages reach a minimum of
$3.50 in South Carolina and the av-
erage rate for the entire South At
lantic coast from Delaware to Flor
ida is only $1497.
Tho NyiCorrc;v, ~o%o xx,;t1,o,,k I,1o vi
is $3.50 and this is exceeded only
by the rate in Massachusetts with
out board, where it is $500, but the
proportion of wages paid on this
basis is so slight that it does not ma
terially change the government sta
tistics concerning the average rate of
farm pay, and Wisconsin continues to
hold the highest place in this scale.
The government tables also give
the wages per day, both at harvest
times and at times other than har-
vest days. In Wisconsin the rate per
day at harvest, with board, was
$1.61 in 1902, SITS in 1911 and
$1.85 in 1912. The rate without
board was $1.96 in 1902, $2.18 in
1911 and $2.2S in 1912. During
times other than harvest the rate
in 1902, with board, was $1.14, in
1911 $1.37 and in 1912 $1.46. The
rate without board was $3.50 in
1902, SIG in 1911 and $1.S7 in
1912.
The statistics show that through
out the United States the wages of
farm labor increased about 80 per
cent during the last year and per
cent during the last two years. Since
1902 the increase has been about "a
per cent.

CELERY AS DUCK FOOD.
Winter Buds and Root Stocks
Are ReIiShed Best.
Plant ls Wholly Submerged With Long.
Flexible, Ribbon-Like Leaves Of
Light Translucent Green
Flowers Are Peculiar.
(By w. L M.ATEE.)


The names wild celery and canvass
back duck have been closely associat-
ed in the annals of American sport.
To a certain extent this associations
is justified. since the canvas back OBJ
tains about one-fourth of its food from
this plant-a greater proportion than
any other duck. However, the asser-
ton that the flavor of the canvasback.
is superior to that of any other duck
and that it depends on diet Of wild
celery is not proved, to say the least.
The scaups or bluebills and the red
head also are very fond of wild cel-
cry, and are fully as capable of get
ting the delicious buds as the canvas
back. Several other ducks get more
or less of this food, the writer finding
that even the scoters on northern
lake in fall lived almost exclusively on
it for time. All parts of the plant
are eaten by ducks but the tender
winter buds and root stocks are rel
ished best. Wild celery buds can usu.

AVIATOR BEACHEY WILL FLY NO MORE

says he will never fly again profess

cause Of his abandonment of game

Winter Feed for Poultry.

One of the best and most relished
winter feeds for poultry is cabbage,
says a writer in an exchange. Even
though there is an abundance Of
other green vegetable matter, I
should still strive to add some cab
bage to the list.
1t is true that there is nothing
quite as good for the hens as a grow
Ing crop, such as rye, over which they
can range and thus combine exercise
with food getting. and every effort
should be made to provide it, but
often space is too limited for such
crops, and dependence must be had
altogether on substitutes that can be
stored away.

upon the leaves.
Wild celery is wholly submerged

leaves of light translucent green and

fourths of an inch, from root to tip,
This plant may be distinguished from
the eelgrass, which lives in brackish
or salt water, by the fact that It's
leaves grow in bundles from the root
stock, while those of eelgrass arise
singly and alternate on opposite sides
Of the stem.
The flowers of wild celery are pecu-
liar. The staminate flowers attached
at the base of the plants shed pollen
which floats on the surface of the wa
ter and fertilizes the pistillate flower.
The latter is attached to a long slen-
der, round stem, which contracts in
to spiral, drawing the flower under
the water after fertilization. The
seed pod into which the pollenized
flower develops is straight or curved
a little slenderer than common lead
pencil and from 8 to inches long. 1t
contains embedded in a clear jelly,
small dark seeds, in number about 80
to the inch. No such pod is borne by
any other fresh water plant.
