Tho domestic servant difficulty has hocomc so acute (says the Manawatu Standard) that married couples are now often engaged for farms when it is r«nllv the wife's services alone that are required. A good domestic in a farm "household can command at the present timo £62 (and found) a year, whereas married couples can he got for as low o^ £72 (and found) per annum. An efficient ploughman and farm laborer, with a wife who is an efficient general servant, will not accept under £120 a yr»ar. These details cast an interesting pidnliprht on tho question of emigration", and snow that while children are regnrded as sofio disqualification against employment, little actual hardship is caused thereby, and certainly the posit'on is not po serious as writers in England hiivr^alleKcd.
