The Huron Expositor, 1876-01-07, Page 66 Where = hall the :'' Farm Hand I k Live ? There hats been some interesting d mission by our correspondents of t " hired man question," especially as whether ornot he shall be made one the farmer's: family.t seems to us tb a satisfactory solution of the question hindered by a failure on either side recognizethe fact that the circumstan vary so greatly that no positive anew: r, -applicable to all cases, can be given ; a d also by the assumption that those w o suggest tha it is not best to mako fa laborers m inhere of the family, do : of caste, andbecause they set themselv:s up as beton ing to a higher grade, of b ings than are those a ployed by the e+ . TThh c very consldera i le he employer ow :s ed by him beyot d their wages. : o an to make the „ �yy ; to surrou , d hick will tend o her than wore :. he to of at is e uestioln is one of practical du culty. duties to th se# employ the mere p ment of ought to do what he comfortable " and hapl them with influences }' make them better ra He also owes duties to his family whi he ought not to ne ect. He oug, t to look to their happiness and comfo and see that too great physical burde ' s are not placed upon his wife, and th t the influence. surroun ling his childre are not such as will .ted to injure thei morals or 'manners ; th t his home she be as truly a home as ssible. The duties may conflict. hat is best f the laborer may not be best for the fa ily. In cities the pr oticta solution the question is almost invariably in on way.. The einplover a pects to have hi workmen at. his store or shop durin working hours ; where or how they Liv he does not make hi. 'special business Those employed abou the house, as rule, form nopart of he family, so fa as companionship is oncerned. Tha this course often lead to unhappiness loneliness, and dissipat e's, and crime o the part of the employed is certainl . true. That a general a option of a di' . crena plan is impract cable is squall tr:�e. In the ideal` ho a there are n • boarders. The _bestexpression of th idea of a family is that in which fathe and mother and children, with perhap the grand -parents, are a only members. These, baund together y the laws of Gor and man, live alone and r their own roof. This is the ideal. Th introduction of a stranger into the home circle 'nay work good or it may work ha m. If a, farmer chooses to so arrange tl at at his table, and during the evenin hours he shall have only his wife a d children with him, surely it does no follow that he feels himself 'superior to those employed by him.. To take a .. more " practical " view of the case, it should be borne in mind that that average' farmer's wife has enough to do in caring for her own fam- ily, and discharging he many duties which cannot be avoid - s .., To introduce into the family one, two or a half dozen men, adds largely to he care and oftetf to her labor. [In a large number of cases. there is again eve way by the employing of married a en as laborers, and furnishing them a h me on the farm. It is an advantage to h ve experienced help on the faun ; to hav a man who has learned the wishes of t o employer and something of he system pursued on the farm, and who has, as fa as may be, a personal inte est - in th : work. To be poor is no crii e : to wor : is no disgrace. On a large farad there is often need of a man of so mu intellig ce and ability than he ought receive wages as much as, or more t n he coul probably make as a renter or by running in -debt for a farm of his owl]. If the opportunity to have a home given in uch a case is it not better the that ,on y a single man shall have sun _ a positio : , and that mar- 1 riage and a ho a should be out of the i question for a arm labor. r ? There are many eases w re all the circumstances make [it best that the borer should board in . his a ployer's: amily. Many farmers'need t employ h :red labor only daring a few m nths of t e year, or need only ia'boy mos of whos duties are di. rectly about t e house. In such cases naturally the help " would- board with the farmer, and his comfort should be carefully looked after, an in such cases it is just as pros er for the armer to satis- fy himself that morally a d physically the applicant.plicant fo work m • ets his ideas as of his ability and willin nese to work. If he prefers th t his children . shall not hear oaths, or b come accustomed to the use of tobacco, it is clearly his right to see that one coming into his family ac. cords : with his views. On the ether hand, : there are very many eases it/ which the comfortand convenience of both parties would be! advanced if the prac- tice of having married hired laborers live on the farm and board the ether laborers were much more common than it now is. Western Rural. 11 11 Clear tip the Ru bish. When the used up and at , andoned im- plements and articles, and he fag ends of every thingrequircd about the farmer's premises are left to lieabout, occupying the ground year after year, wherever they happened tcl be left last, it is im- possible to keep such premises free of burdocks and other weeds. There is no excuse for these nuisances a : out the farm building, of the" ccumulat d Lumber of a thousand yea s" occup ing ground which should be ade the dost sightly and productive of the farm It is, no doubt, unprofltabl also in every instance. I will mention only one. A man, not having any wood lot on hie farm, and buying his firewood] by the c rd, sold bis premises, and talc the parch ser, among other things, that a had his man work two days to cuts d carry o the bur- docks from the house lot, o that he could turn his .sheep into it. The new. comer found firewood enough by clear - int; up the grounds of the re sins of old wagons arid sheds, haystacks a d timbers, old cherry trees that were breeding worms, and from the dilapidated fences and outbuildings, for a family to use for half a dozen years.; And after clearing this ground he found it theichest and best on the farm. 'l,'ho best] thing one can do with worn out implements is to put the wood of them in the wood} shed for fuel, and the old iron into the Work- shop to repair other tools with. But for the rubbish that is constantly coming to hand about every farm hour , I would have three places where I wo ld dispose of every thing of the kind. An out-of- the-way corner, between the shed and the barn, .will receive all broke crockery and glass -ware, t to " old tin nd sheet iron, and all castaways. Ever thing of wood, little- or big, if sound enough goes to the wood pile, but if decaying must go to the compost heap in the barnyard with all the refuse from the garden,from cleaning up the yards, theeller, the wood -shed, barn floor sweepings, the goal ashes, frozen potatoes, and all such Ise, Which" the dreeain ly, would yie orth more' th g the year in emiises=C ontrollin It is a fact w mplative ini ies is anim met but are i it familiar wit • iowever painf Lent may be a t becomes so e thout our a j o w difficult it et, to write, sinal instru ' 8c� ifficult mo =tition is the e mind; is foil rain, although able to obliter a' h repetition establiahe t generation, rat ter it is sti ceable. ,It o g farmers t poor, fences gained fora "the habit in obably kept i s them' to see the fence, a closure the in is made de and the habi propensity o ad of buildi thereby pre by habits i ers and pokes e money tha hie fences i same time to le.
