Show GOOD AMERICAN FARM HANDS Workman Who Does Not A'atch Sun Too Closely and Who Is Industrious Indus-trious Is Appreciated.

The class of American Ameri-can farm workmen is a great deal better than in England now, and as the condition of our farms is steadily improving the quality of workmen will grow better, not worse.
