Every spring the fernier starts out with some misgivings as to what the otitcome, or his seeding and harvest- ing operations will be, The most un- certain element is the labor question I-I'el he must have oil some kind, and considerableanxiet is evinced until the "hired man" is on: the job But the seeming of the help does not always end the anxiety, The farmer does not know just how the man' is goine to pan out. The new man may turn out to be all, he is expected to be, and then again he may not. There isso much=.uncert ainty about the whole business of hiring help that the farmer cannot plan his farming oper- ations in the most effective way to set the best results. The statement often heard that if the fanner would pay higher wages and treat his help better he would get all the help necessary. Perhaps he would. It is well; to remember, however, that the farmer is dependent largely upon inexperienced help. This help ,may. be -willing enough to learn, but anti) it has learned, it must be classed as inexperienced and not in the class that should command the highest wages. The manufacturer in a city does not: pay the highest wages to an apprentice, It is only the full-fle- dged tnechanic the man wild has; learn ed his trade who can command the highest wages. The farmer is inrnuch the same, position as the>.manufact urer in this regard. He cannot afford to pay the highest wages ,going for farm help to the apprentice. In one respect the farmer is in a . much worse position than the manufactur- er. There are few experienced men seeking jobs as farm laborers. The majority-, of farmers have to break in a new man every year. One remedy, would of course, be, to engage: by the year and endeavor to keep the same man for it few years, but this is not always ;possible. The Advocate has succeeded in bringing out several more emigrants this year and they are all likely -looking men, who should make good. More will follow: We hope the farmers and these ` helpers will get along well, and a special ef- fort should be made to do so, as to a large extent the success of the emits grant agent, C. H. Sanders, in bring- ing out men, dpends upon the way. they are used and the reports that these men are able to send back to the Old Land. There is no better publicity campaign possible for Old Huron tiyi fair and proper treatment. o the men that are being placed on. the farms here. - NEW MONEY ORDER RATES Notice has been sent to all Post- masters thatcomnierloing with April 1st the following new tariff will govern the issuing of Money Orders to all British possessions and places on this side the Atlantic, including the United States and their posses- eions For sums under $10. 5 Over $10 and up to 30 Over 30 and:.np to • 50 Over 50 and up to 60 Over 60 and up to 100 cents, 10 cents 15 cents 20 cents 25 cents.
