It: Managementâ€"Snth of the Coiidl'tlenl Necruarv Before 13 II Brought .lnto am Ideal State. Unquestionably there is nothing connected with the business of farm- ing which gives us [as much annoy- ance, or which is as difllcult to get on a satisfactory basis as farm lab- or. There are various causes which tend to bring about this state of things, and perhaps none more so ""‘fthan the unreasonableness of employ- ers. Socialists tell us that the world-«could produce enough for its ineedsi“ if: ever}I man worked but half the number of hours that is new con- sid‘e'r'ed a, working day,- but unfor- tunately on our Canadian farms it {£31115 necesSary’ for the farmer and‘ his men to put in each day a solid day’s work all the year around,- and even then it is difllclilt to hold one’s own among the keen competition. In these days when the competition beâ€" tween capital and labor have become so tense that a little extra strain at any time may bring about the most serious results, it is a matter bf no small importance for farmers to con= sider whether something more Can- not ,he done to put the labor ques-' tion, as it affects the farm, on a bet- ter basis. .13 gm ideal condition of affairs, the employer Would never ask or expect his men to do more work than Was right or reasonable, and when hiring would in all cases be ready and will- ing to give a fair and just remuner- -.-ati0n for services to be performed, .and would endeavor to carry out a system of farming that would give '- epiployment to his men in the slack part of the year. The employed also would not. take undue advantage of the employer because of a temporary scarcity of labor; would never Shirk his work, but would be faithful in‘ doing his duty, whether his employ-i cr were with him or not, and would in all cases be ready to put forth an extra effort at a busy time. It is scarcer to be expected, how'- ever, that such an Utopian state of affairs will ever exist,- while frail human nature remains as it is, but by the exercise of a little thought: fulness and mutual forbearance, the relations between employer and em- ployed may be much improved. In considering ' the question of {and labor as it effects the operations and profits of the'larm, and the heme life of the dwellers there, morally and socially, it will generally be found on large and moderately large farms, that the employment of mar- ried men boarding themselves, is al-. together preferable to boarding men in the house. Outside the question ’vof profits, there is the. all-important ‘ consideration of home l‘ife,-â€"the home 'life cannot by any possibility be what home life ought to be, when the farm house is nothing better than a boarding house. It is not too much to say that the future life of \‘ma'ny a bright boy or girl in this ‘scountry has been a failure through too little attention having been paid telthe'ir yeayning for home cbmforts. one of thb first things to be aimed. “at, in operating a farm in this way is'to employ none but good men, ' and then to do everything in reason to make their lives comfortable. Farmers have no right, even' if they have the power, to make. their men work from early morning until after dark at night, and looked at from. no standpoint than that of personal gain, it is a very decided mistake. Incidentally it may not be amiss to say that the farmer ought not to ask his sons to do what no reasonâ€" able man would expect his hired men to do. Then again it is a matter of the first importance that the men serv- ing shall be well treated. Their houses if not large.should at least the made comfortable. The gardens attached should be large enough to enable, them to grow vegetables for their own use, but not so large as to take up too much of their time, and if a few apples and small fruits can be grown on the ground, they would be more appreciated than by those who can afford to buy them. A cow is almost a necessity to a family on the farm, and an arrangement should he made to have it pastured, but. on no account wintercd by the farmer. it is too srévcre a trial of human naâ€" ture to allow a hired man to feed his cow from his employer's meal box, and is almost sure to cause trouble. The faculty of getting on well with hired men on the farm is well worth cultivating. My own experience leads me to know that if you engage good men, there is little trouble in keeping them, if we, as employers, do our part. It is our duty to try to make them comfortable as circum- stances will permit. If we do so we may expect faithful service and from good men We will get. it. Let the rulass be strictly laid doom and adâ€" hered to, and on no consideration keep a man after his time is out. if he has at any time given a word of imperlzincnce. liowevor, owing to the conditions in which most farmers are placed, the larger number of farm hands are unmarried men who are boarded in the house, and this is most likely the state of affairs that will continue for some time to come. It is a difficult question to deal with, and as far as both employer and employed are concerned, it is a most unsatisfac- tory state, largely arising from the fact that in many sections there is comparativey little employment for one half the year: and just so long as the farmer has to look out for new men every spring, and good men find themselves discharged at the first sign of winter or before, it will re- main so, and no amO' nt of philoso- Jihizing will put it right.
