GREAT SOCIAL PROBLEM.
Drift of Rural Population to the
Cities, It's Cause and How 1t
Might BE Prevented.

No tendency Of modern times has
caused so 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 de%plorable 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
70 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 a far more important
step. Bad roads do more than anything
else to promote ignorance, isolation, dis
c-ouragement and disgust among the
country people. Good roads promote
attendance at school and the church;
they make social gatherings, literary So
c~ieties, 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 it is coming to be rec
ognized as a 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 a proper subject for ma
tional as we'll as state legislation.
Among the reasons offered in support
of this view are the following:
First-The improvement of the
highways is too great a 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 the
roads is certainly as fit a subject for
national legislation as improvement of
rivers and harbors.
Bills are now before both houses Of
congress providing for an appropriation
of $24, 000, 900, to be used during the next
three years as a fund for national aid
to road improvement. The fate of these
bills depends largely upon the attitude
of the farmers on the question. If they
would unite in a strong demand for ma
tional aid, it would speedily become an
accomplished fact.

GRAFTON OF l L
To Make 1t successful Barns, Yards
and Pastures Must Be Kept
I'm Clean Condition.

The aeration of milk is not a 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 it 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 b~arnyards are kept in
such a 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 a locality produce
their milk under the worst conditions
possible. The doors 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 it
is certain that if a man intends to
make a business of aerating his milk
will have to place his barns, yards
and pastures adjacent in a clearly
condition.-Farmers' Review.

NOT MUCH IMPRESSED.
George Thought There Was Much
Sound and Very Little of
the Solids.

If New York has a word to say to the
stranger within its gates, says a CORE
spondent of the New Orleans Times-Denl-
ocrat, it is this: Have you succeeded at
home! If not, why do you think you will
succeed where conditions are more com
pick and difficult" But in New York, as
IN other large cities, those who are not
to be "bluffed" or discouraged and who go
~resolutely about their business are reason
ably sure of success. Sometimes, perhaps.
q little success makes more of a noise N
the world than it should.
One evening IN a restaurant, says the
correspondent, we were waited on by a
real southern darby. He was so unmis-
taxable that at last L said to him:
George"
"Yas'm," was the grateful rejoinder.
You're from the south, aren't your
"Yas'm. Abs from de south"
How did you get up here?"
"Ah don know, ma'am, how All come"
And what do you think of New York,
George?"
He hesitated, and then summing it up
in his mind, he salu:

Barley in This Country.

The production of barley in the United
States has increased greatly within the
past few years. 1t is estimated, in a
general way, that about two-thirds of
the product is good enough for mailing
purposes, the remainder being used for
feeding. Only a small proportion of the
crop is exported; in the record year
1889 the exports amounted to 1861
662 bushels. but this was exceptional.

The Most Common Disease.

Yorktown, Ark, Feb. 29th.-Leland
Williamson, NJ. D., a successful and clever
local physician, says:
There is scarcely another form of dis
ease a physician is called upon so often
to treat as Kidney Disease. 1 invariably
prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills and am not
disappointed in their effect for they are
always reliable. l could mention many
cases in which 1 nave used this medicine
with splendid success, for example, L
might refer to the case of Mr.. A. H. Cole.
Age 81, greatly emaciated, some fever,
great pain and pressure over region of
Kidneys, urine filed with pus or corrup-
ton and very foul smelling and passed
some blood. Directed to drink a great
deal of water, gave brisk purgative and
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The pills were con-
tihued regularly for three weeks and then
a few doses every week, especially if pa
tient felt any pain in region of Kidneys.
Cured completely and patient performed
his duties as farm laborer in four weeks"
DR.. Williamson has been a regular prac-
titioner for over twenty years, and his
unqualified endorsement of Dodd's Kidney
Pills is certainly a wonderful tribute to
this remedy.

themselves by pains n the back, often extending to other parts of the
