The Farm Labor Problem.
(Lucknow Set tine). J'
On Saturday a young Iran less than
four years out from Bulgaria came up
from Toronto, to Lucknow, expecting
to get employ niinsit on a farm near
Lanes.
On Monday morning this sante
young man was back in: town pre-
pared to take the first train hack
to the city. Asked why Inc didn't
stay on the farm he said "Not
money enough." Ile had been offered
$20 per month for the summer. On
the suggestion being made that that
was fair pay for an inexperienced
man, he replied, 'Burt -1 would work
sixteen hours a day" -up about five
o'clock' in the morning to milk cows,
feed hogs and botsem before break-
fast arid then start in to do e
day's work, and chores again at
night.
That looked like,a pretty ,hard pr -o -
position, though many men in this
country have worked that wa3i, for
inuc11 less • than $20 per month.
That 16 -hour day is tie bug -bear
which scareo men away ' from the
farm, and it looks as though one way
or ,another it will have to "reline to
an end. As a matter of fact men
inthis day and country should not
be under the necessity of working a
10 -hour days for., a living—and, in the
long run, that's. all a man gets, If
the farmer . finds than 115 really
must work, those long hours, and
have his men ,work that; away too, lie
is not getting a square deal' and he
oeight to look for some other rem-
edy
eareely thanlonger hours aiird harder
work. This snipIy will have to be
done, for so long as men must work'
10 hours per day (but we don't be -
',have they all do it) there will be a,

Ed Patey of Wawanosh Tried
to Strangle His Wife.
Wingham, June 20.—After he had
first tried to strangle this `wife, and
then attempted to ado away with, his
own life, Ed. Patey,, of Wawauosh
township, was taken into custody late
today by Provincial Officer George
Phippen, and now awaits a Treating
before 1llagistrate Morton on t tate
charge of atteylipting to take ]his
.wife's life.
Patey was frustrated in his design
by Wm. Ward and 'Andrew Everett, of
the 12th line, Wawanoslt, who were -ln
Ward's house when the at'bair started,
Mrs. Patsy had until lately been tak-
ing care of Mrs. Ward,, who was ill,
A few days ago, however, site ware
taken to Wiugbara hospital, and Mrs,
Patey continued to remain at the
Ward home. 1t is said that she re-
fused to go home at the request of
her husband, and that this aroused
his anger,
He visited the ,Ward home, and on
Ids wire's refusal to accompany him
made an attempt to strangle her.
Everett and Ward, who were near by,
dragged him from the .woman. Paley
then drew a razor and threatened his
captors. Vater Inc got away from
them and left the house. Alarmed by
Ms actions they followed him and
found his apparently lifeless body
hanging from ci high post by a. sur-
s:ngle which he had taken' from the
harness of his horse, Quickly nutting
him down, the two men applied re-
storative measures and had the sat,
fsfaction of seeing Paley come back
to life,
Officer Phipren was then sena; for
and Pater was taken into custody
without any trouble. He will have
a hearing im police court to -morrow.
MANURE AND le RTIL'rzrns,
The Division of Chemistry of the
Doan inion Departeen b of Agriculture
has issued another of that useful
series of circulars by Dr, Frank T.
Shutt, Dominion Chemist, This one,
circular. No. 8, deals with "Manures
and .Fertilizers" and, like all the
work of the Doctor, is at once ex-
plicit and practical, The, first section
is devoted to a desetiption of exper-
iences at the Central and other .f%x-
perimental Farms, and the second is
devoted to a summary and to advice
that if followed cannot help but ben-
efit the farm and profit the follower.
Here area few sentences given in
sententious form that illustrate the
conclusions arrived at and the come -
set given by Dr. Shutt :
Rational farming is "Mixed" farm-
ing.
Barnyard loaners is the most et
fectivc of all fertilizers,
The liquid portion of the manure is
the, most valuable,
Use sufficient litter in the stables
to absorb the liquid.
The amount of maniac on a farm
being insufficient, fiequeut light dress-
ings are advisable instead of larger
ones at Longer intervals;
The manure is most advantageouslyr
applied for the root or corn crop in
the rotation.
I:1 is not wise to "bury" the man•
'nre, a shallow plougining under is
more advisable.
Manure is worth most when first
voided.
Rational farminginvolves a rota,
tion of. crops,
Investigation has proven tlie, high
manurial value' of clover, alfalfa, and
other legumes:
The 1e idon, is : grow a leguminous,•
crop in the rotation, as all other
crops, save, the legumes, leave the,
soil poorer for theilr;gtowth, 1
Conineyccial fertilizers 'cannot be
depended upon profitably to maintain
the soil ; hence their, exclusive use 'is
discounteuancett,
By ]tome mixing fertilizers a sassing
of 25 to 35 percent. can be ,effected.
Such in brief aro a few of the'
conclusions arrived at by Dr. Shutt,''
