I ' hose days, w hen so much t.o:, :s 'ivfli !o "civil service form." and the merit system at- in Filing various oiliees and clerkslrps ;n Governmental departments Nat ion. il. State, Municipal, etc.- it may be well to iuquire whether tne ruh atloitetl in these are not ap plicable, at least to some extent, to t he engagement of employes in In dus; rial pursuits, and notably to that ol the leading occupation of tiie country, agriculture. It would be a great benefit and blessing, ti r: am 1 , ;fa system could be in troduced whereby such rural c.ti zeiis as require more or less help could readily secure sober, civil, in dustrious and trustworthy assist ants. Could some feasible plan be ad. iptett to .issure employers in re gard to the industrious and steady habits, competency and moral de pot t meut of t hose they engage for the season, or a longer period, many would be ived much of the disap pointment, vexation and damage occasioned by t he jiecessi tated em ploy meat of men who prove idle, w.istelul. intemperate, or otherwise : n capable . This is not a local question, but one of national importance. In many sections of the country there is abundant occasion for the inaugu ration ui a system which will enable lariners, horticulturists, and stock men, to obtain better help without the trouble and expense to which they are now Irequeutly subjected. How tins can best be brought about is a question worthy the well con- consnlered action of the employing and lalmring classes of rural ists, ' for Uth would Ik? benefited by the adoption of a thorough reform. While farmers would escape the hindrances and losses which result troin the indolence and carelessness of those they sometimes employ either unwittingly or liom necessity really capable farm hands, known to be industrious, skillful and up right onld have little or no trouble . in finding steady employment, at gootl wages. No progessive hus bandman of reputable standing will knowingly or willingly employ a' man of idle and dissolute habits who is not only careless and ueglect- j ful in the discharge of his duties, i but whose example, iu the use of ' vulgar and profane language, and ' disgraceful deportment, must prove injurious to his associates, and es pecially demoralizing to young peo ple. Farmers whose families in ' elude children and youth, cannot be too careful in the selection of those they employ, both male and female, as their influence, for either good or evil, is very likely to prove Itoth powerful and permanent. P.ut how can your suggestions about civil service reform on the farm be carried out (asks the readei especially in Isolated rural neighlKirhoods, where farmers are often obliged to employ strangers ? This is an objection, we admit, but not one which is unsurmountable. H fanners, everywhere, will resolve to employ only industrious, skillful and trustworthy men, or the best that can possibly bo ob tained, and require strangers who apply for work to present strong recommendations as to character and comietency, the diflieulty may be measurably overcome, l'ut in order to render tins plan practicable, and of bene fit to those socially interested, fanners must scrupulously regard each other's interest. Forexample, no one w ho desires to do as he would be done by , should recom mend, either verbally or in writing, a person that lie would not himself employ a thing which is often done by prominent people of various occupations, either from kindness. or to a in ; i iu oi applicants, i ins is tt-r about which tanners be extremely careful, lest injury to other employers, leucing them to engage men o e incompetent, or other ol et tionable.
