Map is a gregarious crea. ture and loves company. Few like to'work alone, and until we-can make country: con, ditions more like the civies' conditions, things will not improve Zé The European Small Fann Our furms must be made larger, gr small: er, as are the conditions in Europe. In Den. By "Vim" 'mark: the farms average 13 acres, and ae cording to Mr, Haghart these farms are so skillfully managed that the people are pros | pering e conditions, I expect, prevail in most of Europe ' On, my to England 'I visited one | such farmer 'who rented three acres paying $100 per year rent. He was.making a good living, und saving little; two, actes of this wus permanent pasture, and one in gurden. | He kept two cows, a 'brood sow, and around 100 fowl. 'The two ueres pastured-the two cows, in bis garden he grew principally po- | tatoes, carrots, antl mangels. He raised two | litters'of pigs which were sold at $5 each.at 6 weeks old. His two cows gave 10 Ibs; | butter each, weekly, which sold ut' 36c. Ib. ; |he had plenty of-skim-milk for the pigs, which when not fed was' sold to -poor people st two cents a-pint; he purchased the grass on the government drain's banks, and made |hay for wint'r feed, The potatoes"he grew and some barley meal cheaply fed what pork he required. "He and bis wife and two one.a dressmaker, constituted They appeared happy and pros- farmers, | Land divided in this manner, puts /neighbors close together the feeling of: is- olation is done 'away with; children, play together 'and are neir:school. - The church and chapel and public hause are. meeting places for-social intercourse after the day's work, where men's socitl yearnings afe grat- ified 'éach after his own tastes. The larger farms, from 500 to 1,000 acres {and upward, employ a number of servants, "who 'are "boarded by the foreman, and thus form a pleasant company of themsel- ves. Then the day laborer class live in. the villages and go back and forth to the farms to work. The village system of living, "I -under- stand is gesieral in Europe, end until we can furnish stinilar social conditioris here work ployment to country work. It is all folly-to chide city workers)for refusing to come out to the country, Bot few comparatively eni- have accommodations for a married man Onty One by the Year In this wealthy: locality' "T'know! of bit one farmer who employs-by the.year, and T doubt if there are more than half » dozen -|in the township who doso. Farmers have the notion that 'they cannot make it pay. 'They hire s'man or two for.as short a per- iod as possible, and then toil and. slave through, the rest of the year. If Our chief aim in: hfe is t0-accumulste money this is bad policy. -A weary body means s jaded mind, and a jaded' mind means defective planning and system; thus our aims are thwarted and -we fail in our purpose. | Tt is a'mistaken idea that to get. money you must love it and sacrifice everything else for it. I observe that the successful men are those who love their. busibess for its own sake,-and give its rewards second place. Money as a servant is good, but as a master is he@rtless.and cruel, and curses at its, slaves. © ' Only Half Farming I feariessly state that, taking the province over, we are only half farming." Téking- the Government reports, the average: yields for ¥ | tsbor, || miérs were getting' as good a living as any. || this amount. Of course these are not nor- 7 Turnips, 444 Hay, 1% tons. , Compare these yields with the yields of 'our -best farms, which -are propérly mén- aged; you will find that they are little more then half. . -The true cause shiva espital and improper cultivation, too little stock kept, and too little manure made, a want of a suitable rotation, and sowing inferior seed of inferior i :; Added to these is. jition 'to win success. }/ just make s living' and.) fay to get it. Such fgr- y_ cannot afford to hire 'along in the same old-rut.. { Half 'Are 50-Acre Farms In 'this locality about half the farms are of 50-acre size. | These are fairly well ma- aged without outside help. The larger farms from 100 ecres 'up, employ help for from two to six months. To'do justice to these |. farms two jen the year-round and an extra one during haying and harvest are required. I suspect that there are but few so equip- ped, This suggests. 'the question "Could |' such a farm pay interest on capital invested and pay. present scale of wages?" Most of. my. readers will answer "No!" What then must be déne? None will wish-to. buy or rent our farms, and if they would ~what could we do to better our condition? In on article published some years ago on the subject, I think that I proved that far- Lother class of workers. The best 100-scre farms here are valued wt $8,000. This at 5 per cent. ix $400; the stock and. imple- ments wre worth $3,000, or $150; taxes $100; yéarly wages for two men $700; one for harvest help $100; female, help $200; threshing, twine, repairs; etc, $100. Ten por cent. shrinkage in value of implements } $100. This makes: a total of 850. The question then srises: of such a form umount to this.sum?" © At the: present time, in this locality they will he double--and in some cases threé* times | 'nal, times, but if we cut the prices in two, we jre still able to make our accounts bal- ance. We should demand to know the truth and should cultivate it,-even if it appears to work against. out interest. With all the diseourngement and trials of farm life, but few become insolvent. The many are able in the evening of their lives'to "Lay down the shovel und the hoe," and to "take up the fiddle and the bow" and: bid good-bye | to ull their worries, and end their days in | pence. , | T see no present prospect of _improve- ment in labor conditions on the farm. The, war has taken so many from us and 'many of those who return will be, incapacitated for farm work, while immigration will not be revived to any extent for some years. So we may as.well decide to make the best of the situation and "carry on" as-usual ° mmer-fallow more; seed down more; keep more stock (especially sheep and hogs) also more poultry; cultivate no moré that , can be 'well done? Don't overwork and don't worry; live one day at a 'time and leave the future in God's keeping. as ANNA CASE singing in direct comparison with The New Edison' Re: 'Creation of her voice.
