GREAT SOCIAL PROBLEM.
Drift of Rural Population TO the
cities, IT'S Cause and How IL
Might De Prevented.

No tendency Of modern times has
caused go much uneasiness in the minds
Of social philosophers and reformers as
the drift Of population from the rural
districts to the cities. That this ten
dency Is deplorable Is admitted on all
hands, but there Is no general agree
ment as to what should be done to dis
courage It, Recently, however, public
speakers and writer's have been insist
ing that the way to keep the bright
young men and women on the farms Is
to ameliorate the conditions of country
life The extension of telephone lines
into the country and the rural free mail
delivery are steps in that direction. But
the general improvement of the country
roads would be far more important
step. Bad roads do more than anything
couragement and disgust among the
country people Good roads promote
attendance at school and the church;
they make social gatherings, literary So
cieties. dramatic entertainments and
club and lodge meetings possible during
the winter and spring. With bad roads
the farmer is compelled to hibernate, So
cially, for three or four months In the
year. With good roads, these months
become the most pleasant and in some
respects the most profitable in the year.
The improvement of the country
roads Is now recognized as one of the
greatest questions before the Amer
lean public: and 1t is coming to be rec
ognized as question which concerns
not merely the rural population. but the
whole people. Many public men have
declared their conviction that road i'm
provement is proper subject for ma
tiOnal as well as state legislation
Among the reasons offered in support
Of this view are the following:
First--The improvement Of the
highways Is too great burden for the
rural population to bear alone. If left
TO them the problem will never be
solved.
Second-The Improvement of the
roads would benefit all classes through.
out the entire country hence. the whole
people should share In the necessary ex.
pense.
Third-The improvement OF the roads
Is necessary to the extension of the ru
raj free delivery system and congress
is authorized by the constitution to "es
tablish post-roads."
Fourth-The improvement of tn,
roads Is certainly as fit a subject TO
national legislation as improvement o
rivers and harbors.
Bills are now before both houses o
congress providing for an appropriation
of $24 900 900. to be used during the mex
three years as a fund for national al
to road improvement The fate Of thes
bills depends largely upon the attitud
of the farmers on the question. II the
would unite In a strong demand for ma
tional aid, It would speedily become a
accomplished fact.

SETTING AN ORCHARD.
Rest Time to DO II Il Just as Soon as
the Winter Breaks and Ground
Cen He Handled.

The best season for setting an orchard
is Just as soon as the winter breaks and
the ground can be handled. Be careful
not to freeze the roots. Ground can be
handled wetter in winter and in very
early spring than later in the season, for
1t will not pack or bake them as 1t does
later, but it Is preferable, especially in
clay soil, to have the ground In proper
condition, not too wet, as there is dan
ger of baking the ground around the
roots Of the trees.
It Is best to set the trees as soon as
possible after being taken from the
nursery row. II any of the roots are
badly injured or bruised 1t is best to
trim them and let the tree send out
healthy one; the roots should be care
fully examined. and II they show Jumps
as the result of aphis or other diseases,
do not set the tree.
II you want permanent orchard you
should set healthy trees. Icannot too
strongly emphasize the idea that deep
planting makes root rot" Nature

them the same way.
Place some of the best surface earth
carefully around the roots; and after
hlling the hole pack the earth tight and
closely around the tree to prevent the
winds from shaking It until the roots
get started.
n the roots are trimmed or cut back
the top should be proportionately
trimmed, otherwise the right proportion
established by nature between the top
and the root. being disturbed. the tree
Is apt to become stunted or unhealthy
and make little growth. as the root must

years old transplanted from the nursery

ERATION OF MILK.
To Make II Successful Barns, Yards
and Pastures Must He Kept
in Clean Condition.

The aeration of milk is not new
thing, for It has always taken place
where milk has been exposed to air.
The only new thing about 1t has been
the exposure of milk under conditions
that would prevent anything but pure
air coming in contact with the milk.
1t is Of no value to aerate milk In air
that contains as many bad odors as
does the milk, and 1t Is worse than
useless to expose the milk for aerat-
ing purposes In air that carries foul
odors. There are many locations In
which It Is impossible to aerate milk.
Some of our barnyards are kept In
such condition that they can be
smelled at a long distance, and the
same Is true Of some OF our hog
yards. wallows and pens. Dairy cows
MIXED in such locality produce
their milk under the worst conditions
possible. The odors get into the milk
at the time the milk Is drawn, and
the air outside Is not enough pure to
warrant an attempt at aeration. 1t Is
patent to every man that has had
to do work on the farm that In the
summer time men cannot aerate the
milk because they cannot be induced
TO carry the milk a long distance
from the barn to put 1t through the
aerating process. In the winter there
Is some difference in favor Of pure
milk, as the barnyards and wallows
are under snow or frozen up. But II
Is certain that II man intends to
make a business Of aerating his milk
he will have to place his barns. yards
and pastures adjacent In a cleanly
condition.-Farmers Review.

Government Aid n, Need.d.

The demand Of the national grange
that government give aid in road
building would seem to be we'll based
when 1t Is analysed closely. The gov
ernment has spent over $500. 900. 900 in
river and harbor improvements. and
will probably spend as much more in
digging ditch across Panama. all of
which will benefit principally the
shipping and mercantile interests, and
farmers least Of all. or indirectly at
best. Good roads benefit everybody.

Dor helps only very few. II the gov
ernment can and does spend its money
lavishly on such improvements as are
OF direct benefit to comparatively
small number, how much wiser and
more important would It be to make
our highways better and let everybody
enjoy them.-Farm and Home.

PHILIPPINE HOGS OF USE.
Their Bristles Are Vastly Superior to
All Others for Brush
Making.

At least one good thing has come out
of the Philippines, and the good policy
that dictates the purchase of those is
lands has been vinGicated-in the opin-
ion of the brushmakers of the United
States at least. Useful as the good old
American hog is in the matter of food
supply for this and other nations, he
is all to the bad as a producer of bristles
for American brush manufacturers.
His hair is too short and brittle for
brushes of even the cheapest grade. For
many years France has supplied the best
grades of brist!es to brush manufac-
turers, and in view of the fact that There
is no home competition the duty on them
is not high. Some of the cheaper grades
of bristles come from Germany and from
Russia. They are tied together in
punches and shipped in barrels.
Lately Uncle Sam has begun to i'm
port a fine quality of bristles from his
own possessions. The hogs there fur
nish an excellent and adequate supply.
Agents sent out last September by the
brush manufacturers bring back encour-
aging reports. The Spaniards never
paid much attention to the expectation
of bristles, but when the trade is once
set going under American auspices
brush manufacturers, so one of them in
New York says, will be almost inde-
pendent OF the French supply.
