Farm Finances and High
Wages.

When this writer was q young
man. the average wage for farm
help was between ten and twelve
dollars per month-that Is, for ma
ture men, who were able to handle
the heaviest work on the farm.
Occasionally one was paid fifteen or
sixteen dollars; and very rarely as
high as eighteen dollars was given,
but this price only went to an ex-
ceptionally good mana frst-class
farmer and competent to take the
lead, a sort of foreman as 1t we're.
and. one on whose shoulders rested
some additional responsibility be-
sides drawing his pay. And we can
recall only one instance where this
higher price vas paid. and that was
for the harvesting and haying sea-
son. In those days farmers rarely
kept a hand" through the fall work
or winter, or ven in spring seeding
time. In those times wheat rarely
brought as much as fifty cents per
bushel. and from the locality where
the writer lived it had to be carted
from eighty to a. hundred miles to
market. and many times the farmer
was caught In a storm on the road
or at the far end of his trip. and had
to part with the last dollar he had
received for his fifty bushels OF
wheat for the expense caused there
by. And then there were other con.
ditions the poor yeoman had to con-
tend with which do not confront him
these days. First, his farm work
was generally done by oxen, there
being very few horses in the country
at that time. The grain had to be
sown by hand-a laborious task
the seeder not having. yet been in.
vented; much Of it was cut with q
sickle or cradle, bound by hand. and
failed out on the barn floor. there
being neither reaper OF threshine
machine In the country: and finally
every kernel Of it had to be win.
moved. or later. when that machine
came into use. I'll through a fan
ming mill before it was at all market.

The clerk Of courts Of Cook county.
ILL.,. has conceived a plan for in

and that county by offering to each
