You FARM LABOR SCARCE. Friends. November (;rop Bulletin Repeats Old Complaint. The November crop report, issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, has the following to say iu regard to labor and w,lges:—"I.1 most iusiances correspondents repore a scarcity of farm laborers, more especially of thou who have beth ficuess and experieuce, While Soule of the British irniigrauts who have come iu recently have Riven good satisfaction, ninny of thein are wittiout previous knowledge of farm work, and are slowly adapting themselves to Cana- dian rural conditions. Regarding wages, correspondents differ as to whether they will rise or fall. The general opinion, however, appears to be nkat white skilled farm labor may command increased wages, the rate paid to green or un- skilled men will remain about the same. Iu fact farmers seem to he lo eking more to improved machinery to help them out than to immigratiou, unless old coun- try farm laborers of experiruce can be had. Domestic servants on the farm are scarcer than ever, and, judging by the remarks of correspoudents, the pro- blem of their supply is still an unsolved one-" Pastures, the report says, were in from fair to good condition during the sum- mer and fall, and favored all olasses of live stock. Cattle are reported rather thin but healthy. There are more beef animals on hand than is usual ut this time of year owing to the comparatively low prices offered and the abundance of fodder on hand. Sheep are scarce ani in good demand. It has been a goof year for hog -raisers, and there are said to be a lesser number of hogs available than is general at this season. The dairying season was a most suc- cessful one. Prices for both butter and cheese were good. Fruit trees generally are reported in good condition. There was a surplus of apple, pears, plums and peaches. There would have been more first-class hand picked apples on the market but for the damage done to a considerable quantity of excellent fruit which was shaken down by the heavy wind- storms of October. Grapes yielded largely, and the vines are in good con- dition for the winter. Small fruits were a good crop. Reports regarding the tobacco crop are favorable. Considerable detailed information is given respecting grain and root crops. The report also includes the following; estimated crop acreages ane yields for 1005, computed from returns of actual yields, made by threshers acd au extra staff of correspondents:— Fall wheat -796,213 acres,yie]diog 17,• 933,961 bushels, or 22 5 bushels per acre, as against 9,160,023 and 15 1 in 1904. Spring wheat -190,1113 acres, yielding 3,382,627 bushels, or 15.5 per acre, as against 3,471.103 and 15.4 in 1904. Barley -772,633 acres, yielding 24,265,- 301 )1 bushels or 31 4 per acre, as against 24,567,825 and 21.5 iu 1904.

Friendships that have stood the test Of time and change are surely best; uroty may wrinkle, hair grow gray, Friendehip true knows no decay. For, 'mid friend the tried and true, We ouee more our youth renew. But, alas! old frieuds may die, New friends must their place supply. Cherish friendship in your breast, New is good, but old is best; Make new friends, but keep the old, Moose are silver, these are gold, —Anon DORN.
