THE CALL OF THE SOIL.

increasing Demand for Small Fa1ms
Near the Cities.
Inere Is not as much heard nova
Gays as formerly about the drift OF
young people from the country to the
city. Yet 1t Is doubtless true that there
are now just as many young men
drawn from the quiet Of the farm and
from rural pursuits by the allurements
OF great cities as there ever were. At
the same time there is a growing and
counterbalancing drift from the cities
to the country.
The inducement which the city Of
Iers TO the average young man on a
farm Is an escape from it's so-called
drudSery, the prospects of making
money rapidly and the benefit Of con-
genial company and environment. AS
rule men Of middle age do not for
sake the country for the city. Their
habits are settled; the metropolis holds
out no special allurements to them.
Years Of discretion enable them to see
the advantages of the health and indie
pendence Of pastoral life. On the 9TH
er hand, it is the men Of middle age
who abandon the city for the country,
or at least for suburban life. They
long for the self-control, the quiet, the
freedom which is part and parcel of
life on farm. The attractions Of the
city have palled and to them rural ex-
istence is the ideal condition.
That this is the fact is evinced in
the constantly increasing demand for
small country places near great cities.
In thousands Of cases 1t is impossible
for men to abandon their means Of
livelihood in the city, but they seek to
escape from it as much as possible by
living in suburban hamlets or rural
homes. One Of the first instincts of the
city man who has made q fortune is to
purchase a country place. It is his
answer to the primeval impulse which
draws men to the soil, to the compan-
ionship Of trees and birds and flowers.
1t is his acknowledgment that the life
Of the city is artificial
The great centers of population will
always draw young men and young
women Of unsettled purpose, full Of
ambition, inexperienced in the world
and eager for change and excitement.
At the same time the call Of the soil
will attract additional thousands every
year from the crowded avenues and the
brick and mortar hives back to the
hush of the country and the companion
ship of nature. And the time will
come when these forces will counterbal-
ance. The immense growth Of rural
trolley lines indicates this and suburb
an life is only one step from the farm.
