COUNTRY LIFE.
The Change That Has Come From
the Methods of Fifty Years Ago

The Change That Has Come From
the Methods of Fifty Years Ago.
It is not yet fifty years since the
people of our country villages lived by
farming. the men making their own
sleds. shingles, AK handles, scythes,
brooms. OK bows, bread troughs and
mortars; the women carding, spinning
braiding, binding and dyeing. They sat
round great fireplaces with hanging
crane. fredoCs and a spit turned by
hand or by clockwOrk; they made their
own tallow candles and used, even on
festive occasions, wooden blocks or
raw potatoes for candlesticks; they ate
from pewter kept bright by the wild
securing brush; they doctored their
own diseases by a hundred ana one
different wild herbs. all gathered near
home. and all put up in bags for the
winter or hung in rows Of drleu
punches. Soap was made at home; so
were the apple butter, cheese, pearlash,
birch vinegar. cider. beer, basket. Each
farm was a factory of odds and ends
n village store in itself, a laboratory of
applied mechanics.
Now all that period of sturdy individ'
ualism is rs utterly passed as Is the
government of the pharaohs. The ran
roads have killed it all. Every process
on the farm has been revOlutionized by
science or mechanical invention; every
article can now be bought more cheap
" than it can be made at home. Th'
very mending Of clothes now hardl!
marks the good housewife; you ar
told that it is cheaper for the eide
daughter to go to work in the factor!
and buy with her wages new suits o
ready made for the boys. 1t is al
gone. The old life now lives only i
, tender memories.
Estates of 1000 acres and more, OWL
? ed by nonresidents, are rapidly mutt
plying along the coasts Of the seas an
gulf. the shores of the lakes and river'

APPLE DAY AT ST. LOUIS.
Twenty Car Loads OF the Fruit VIII
BE Given Away.


Sept q next will be apple day"
at the worlds fair. This novel and
interesting idea originated with Mr..
John T. Stinson, superintendent of
pomology. department of horticulture
for the worlds fair. lie suggested that
an apple day" be named, on which
every visitor to the worlds fair should
be presented with Il few eating apples.
So it comes about that the 27th of Sep
tember is to be made memorable rs
apple day" Already the mouths Of
many thousands of prospective fair
visitors are beginning to water in
anticipation of treat of the popular
| fruit. Every man, woman and child
who attends the exposition on that day
/ is to be presented with three or four
fine apples, daintily wrapped in tissue
paper, on which will be printed the
local habitation and the name of each
apple The person eating the apple
will enjoy the added pleasure of know
ing what kind of apple it is and where
it came from.
This free apple distribution will not
be so simple an affair as it may seem
on the surface. September is one OF
the golden months for exposition at
tendance. The management confident
ly expects to have about 100000 per
sons in attendance if the day bC
bright. Estimating the attendance al
100000 and allowing three or foul
apples to each guest, we have, II
round numbers, 100000 apples to b'
given away.
There are 300 apples on an average
b to a barrel and 15O barrels to ca
load. A very little figuring will SHOW
that more than twenty car loads OF tn
fruit will be required.
The object of this distribution o
. apples, aside from the temporary de
light which the feast will afford, is
