turned up in Toronto during- . the
past two days. The face of the, note
is a cleverly executed pen and water

er green than the genuine. The num
bers are larger and. heavier. The
imprint of `American Bank Note Co.,

Relatives residing in this vicinity
have been notified by wire that Mr
Mary Henderson, for many years a

I-IORSEM13N ..
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.

these men are able to send back to
