Wages. of Farm Laborers in
the United. States.
An interesting chapter in the forth-
coming report of the Commissioner of
Agrieature will be that relating to the
itgrieultural labor question. The De-
partment has been gathering informa-
tion in every county in the Union
with regard. to the rate of wages paid
to farm laborers and the av9rage cost of
The returns disclose the fact that in
en quarters of the Union (with the ex-
ception of Minnesota, California, Col-
orado, Oregon, New Mexico and Wash-
ington Territory) the average monthly
rate of pay for farm laborers declined
during the year endina°last April from
3 to 15 per cent. At the RAMO time,
the expense of living in the majority of
States declined in equal or greater .pro-
portion, so that the relative condition
of the laborer really improved during
the year.
The average rate of pay in New Eng-
land for farm_ laborers on yearly engage-
ments, -without board, averages $20.31
per month, against $22.60 at the begin-
ning of the year,—a decline of 10 per
cent. The average cost of living has
fallen from •*k 9.13 to $8.02 per month,—
a decline of more than 13 per cent. In
the Middle States the conditions were
reversed.; the ruling monthly pa Y of
the farm laborer being $19.69—a decline
of 7 per oent.—while the average cost of
living had declined only 4 per cent. In
NewYorkalone farm laborers receive
fai per cent less than they did a year
earlier, and pay 10 per cent. less for
their living. The South Atlantic States
reduced. labor.15 per cent. and subsist-
ence 16 per cent., and in the Gulf States
labor fell 5 per cent. and. subsistence
only 3 per cent.; the average pay in the
former being $11.19, and in the latter
$14.80 per month. In the nine inland
States east of tilt Mississippi, the
monthly pay varies trom $15.50 per
month south of the Ohio to $20,90 in
the Nortla—the rate of decline in wages
being a fraction less than that of the
cost of living; while in the six States
west of the Mississippi the present av-
erage pay for farm labor is $23.81
per month,—a slight increase over
that of a year earlier,—and the price
of subsistence falls off about two per
cent.
West of the Mississippi the increase
in the rate of wages is chiefly due to the
extension of mining operations. In this
region a large number of artisans have
appropriated public lands, and seek -to
pay for their claims by working a part
of the time at their trades. Quite a
number of farm laborers have done
likewise, and they work part- of the
time for wages on the farms of others.
The larae inemiabration has enlabraed the
stock of labor, but it is to a greatextent
somewhat inefficient in character. All
who desire work ca.n get it. No sur-
plus is reported from any county in
Colorado. In the two Pacific States
the average monthly pay of farm labor-
ers is $38.22, against 436.62 one year
earlier,—an increase of per cent,—
while the cost of living has increased
fully 18 per cent. In New Ilexico Da-
kota and Washington Territory there is
a demand for skilled and unskilled
American labor at remunerative wages.
In Utah laborers receive $28.87 per
month,—a decline of 7 per cent during
the year,—and a suipl-ns of labor is re-
ported. '
In the New England and Middle
Stale- s there seems to be a surplus of
lab . in certain localities and .a de-
fic.; ^: in others, whioh should render
the _verage demand about equal to the
supp: . The general rate of pay for
skilled labor—shoemakers, blaeksmiths,
carpenters, etc.—is slowly_ rising, and is
believed to mark the return of better
times for the form laborers.
A statement of the average rate of
wages paid to agricultural labor in sev-
eral countries in Europe will be of in-
terest as affording a basis of comparison
between the condition of the American
and European farm. laborer. From the
tables prepared. for the report of. Secre-
tary Evarts upon this subject the fol.
lowing information is gathered, the fig-
ures referring to the year 1878: Agri-
cultural laborers in England. receive,
without board or lodging, an average
per month of $15.60; in Ireland, 14.73;$
in Scotland, 119.42: in Normandy,
$12.41 ; in Italy, $15.19; in Spain,
$14.95 ; in Fraeace, $13.65.
An English FR,-erck;er's Accomats
We publish the following extract
from a statement recently made in the
London Times, and. vouched. for. as a
fair example of English farming, the
figures being a transcript from books
honestly kept by a bona fide tenant -
farmer for his own infornaationin
-
business, and never intended for pub-
lication :
The farm referred to consists of 600
acres chiefly of strong alluvial loam,
with a portion inclining to a peaty na-
ture, and one-fifth of the area may be
characterised as useful though not first-
class grass land. It lies in a level dis-
triet, under the tolerably dry skies of
the eastern counties. It is a mixed
c' husbandry occupation with no peculiar
4 features in the stocking or cropping.
No strict rotation of crops is observed,
the tenant being happily unfettered in
this respect: and in favorable seasons,
when this means of making some profit
is found practicable, extra crops of oats,
barley, aud sometimes of brown and
-white mustard, are grown after wheat.
Neither hay, straw, nor roots are sold
off; dairying is conducted on a very
small scale ;f and the tenant enjoys no
special advantages, such as pertain to a
pedigree herd or Hoek, the exhibition
of animals for prizes, or the breeding of
hunters or other horses at exceptional
prices. He keeps a breeding flock of
about 140 ewes, selling off the lambs in
the summer, as in the district there is
found a difficulty in keeping them alive
during autumn; and about 400 sheep
are bought in dming spring to be fed off
on grass and cole seed. Fifteen to
twenty calves are raised in a year, the.
remainder of the cattle usually being
purehased in the autumn, wintered on
straw, roots and oil -cake, and finished
off for the butcher during the following
summer's grazing. That liberal man-
agement is practised appears from the
expenditure on artificial foods and man-
ures, rangiug from £400 to 2500 per an -
1111M, while large quantities of home-
grown corn are aleo donsunaed. on the
farm. And as to fbe business ability
displayed, and. the economical manipu-
lation of both the horse and. manual la-
bor, it is sufficient to say that the occu-
pier
is well known as one of the leading
farmers of the eastern counties; that
he is highly esteemed, both privately andi
publicly, in his own county—a man of
marked ability in every department of
practidal agriculture, a careful super-
visor ot his laborers, a cleanly manager
of his land, judicious in his treatment
of liv stock, and - a business -like
dealer, alike in the corn and stock,
marke;
What is the present' position of the
farm business thus described ? The ac-
oounts show that the gross returns
available for the payment of all out-
goings nd for tenant's profit, have been
for the last three years as follows: In
1876, he total was 3,j62;2in 1877,
£3,280; and in 1878, 23,158—averag-
ing 2.3 200 per year. For the same
period he average expenditure per year
which his sum had. to meet has been
for rent, tithe, local rates and Imperial
taxes 1,650.2for labor, 21,270; for
artifici 1 foods and. manures and for
seeds, 4L470; and for tradesmen's farm
bills, '150—or, together; £3,540. To
this must be added a considerable
amount for repairs and insurance, the
cost of replacing machinery and imple-
ments, wear_ and tear of the farm
horses, and also market expenses, of
which tems the particulars are not be-
fore us It is plain that the business,
..
instea. of yielding any interest what-
ever onI the capital invested, has incur-
red a dad loss which looks like 2400
per year at the very least, and is appar-
ently ore; and this for three years in
successOn. It will be observed that the
outgoi gs mentioned do not include any
part of the oast of the tenant's living;
and, in fact, in addition to the above
loss on the farming _transactions, the
whole f the tenant's household ' and.
family xpenditure for three years must
have c me out of capital: No matter
whethe the occupier be a man of hand-
some neans or not,this is a processwhich
cannot ong continue. And it is not sur-
prising that he should write, "My
heart i broken aboutfarming, and I do
not car to throw more good money af-
ter bad"
• certainty of Wealth.
A gentleman, who, twelve years ago,
passed on from a series of wiSitS among
the aeistocracy of birth in England to
be the guest of several members of the
aristocracy of. wealth, said that he was
much impressed by the signs of money
in the latter case as compared with the
former: In many of the stately homes
of England faded damask and thread-
bare carpets may be found in conjunc-
tion with beautiful old plate and fine
pictures. Everything is of good quality,
but . it is frequently well worn out;
whereas, in the houses of the great
money magnates the upholstery is new,
fresh and resplendent, for that ready
money w,hich my lord and. the 'squire
so often lack is at hand. The aris-
tocracy of birth have, however, had
hitherto at least one single advantage
as e,ompared to the others—permanency.
The fleeting character of even the most
splendid commercial fortunes is being
painfully exemplified just now in the
North of England. The home of Mr.
Vaughan, of Bolehow and Vaughan—
whose father bequeathed him a palace
in which the smoking -room cost $150,-
000, and a single mantel -piece $10,000
—was in the market last week, and
three weeks later a fruitless attempt
was made ,td sell Grey Towers, the
princely seat of another great Cleveland
iron master. The house has cost $250,-
000, but only $150,000 was bid for it,
inclusive of the estate, 390 acres. Only
those who have seen such placecan
realize how completely they illustrate
the auctioneering phrase, "defiance of
expense." To fancy and to realize were
one. These great Northern commer-
cial persons very rarely have houses in
London, and, unless in Parliament,
seldom make any effort "to get into
society" there, but live in a world of
their own around the seat of their busi-
ness.
• Selecting Horses by Their
• C olor .
Most persons have their choice in re-
gard to the color of horsee, but we pre-
sume few of our readers ever thought
that it had anything to do with their
speed or strength. A correspondent of
the English Farmer, however, seems to
think ;there is no doubt that fashion,
with regard. to color, has been greatly
influenced by the special qualities
•usually found in combination with
special tints or shades; though it Ly
no means follows that a colt unerring-
ly exhibits the same colored hide as its
immediate parents. A writer , at the
close of the last century stated very
broadly that not only among the Turk-
ish horses were many of pure .white
color, but that in Persia there were
studs of them, several thousands in
number, while it is a well-known fact
that until after the death of Prince Al-
bert the Queen's state carriage was
drawn by eight cream -colored horses, of
whom a succession is still kept up at
Hampton Court. Strange to say, how-
ever, while the cream -colored 'horse is
noted. for powers of endurance, the grey
is held to be deficient therein; and,
while black horses are rarely first -Pate
•in point of speed, the. browns, chest-
nuts, and the bays—the last more
especially --are noted for their turf vic-
tories at Epsom and Doncaster.
