Fifty years ago nearly every work

most of them raised their potatoes;
now very few have any garden, Now
fresh vegetables are sold in all the
grocery stores; so years ago no
vegetables were sold in that way
To-day every farmer buys large
quantities OF grain and phosphates;
so years ago our farmers sold grain
and did not buy fertilizers except
land plaster and perhaps a little
guano. Nearly every farmer owned
his farm so years ago and to-day
very few farmers are free from debt,

who had a family Of 20 children
He lived on Dorset Hill and worked
on the quarry. Jay said he usually
got $l.25 day and lived fairl!
well. He used to raise $50 bushels
OF potatoes for winter, killed two
big hogs for pork and put down q
beef for home use, hundreds OF cab
bages, bushels Of turnips, beets, car
rots, etc. His cellar was full wher
winter set in. His children as fast
as they grew up helped him and al
made good citizens. But the old
shanty where Billie lived, near the
old Blue Ledge Quarry, has long
since rotted down, and the quarry
has long since stopped producing
marble. The land Billie and his
children used to raise vegetables on
has long since relapsed into It's ma
tive wilderness, and Billie is long
since gathered to his fathers. and
his children scattered far and wide.
The second generation are not as
numerous, neither do they raise po-
tatoes and vegetables, fat pork for
home use or make their own clothes
They buy from hand to mouth, live
in costly hired houses and turn up
their noses at the farmer who smells
OF the barn or the greasy mechanic
who chance TO run against them.

ILLITERACY.

The term "illiterate" includes all
persons at least ten years of age
unable to write their own language,
majority Of them being also unable
to read. In the United States.
including aliens, negroes, Indians
and Mongolians, 106 in every loco
OF population, ten years of age and
over, are illiterate. The latest
reports on illiteracy are not in. but.
according to the last, 46 of every
1,000 of our white native born over
the age Of ten could not read or
write. The great majority of such
illiterates are found along our Appa-
lachian Mountain range and in the
remote piney woods of our Southern
States, where the distances and the
sparcfty of the population make pub
lie schools well-nigh impossible
