ouently through the use of little
paint. It is said that the we'll
groomed man or woman has a feel
ing of superiority. 1t is natural
that this should be the case. The
very fact that one is well dressed ex-
erts an inspiring influence, and helps
to insure the maintenance OF an
equilibrium and degree OF dignity
which otherwise might not apper-
tain. 1t is equally certain that If we
paint up and decorate the exterior
of the home we create an interest
and pride in it which did not pre-
iously exist. It makes an impress
sion not only on the neighborhood
but on all who come in contact with
it. 1t creates new impulses and de.
sires on the part of the boys and
girls who live in it and the adult
members of the family as well who
happen to be associated with its en-
terprises.
These are but a few Of the minor
benefits which accrue from the I'M
provement of the homeA but surely
they are worth while and should
stimulate us to q degree of effort
along this line that has hitherto
been lacking. Some of the processes
we should employ, and some of the
materials we can use to advantage
are outlined below. If we can not
undertake to re-paint the home we
can often maybe use a creosote oil
on it that will at least preserve the
exposed timbers and add much to
the general appearance Of the home
as we'll. We can often stain the
IL. tho outlaw
of a comparatively small sum OF
money. Most assuredly we can
whitewash the fences and outbuild-
ings at a relatively small cost.
Those associated with the work of
our home economics division consid-
err this = tier of the exterior decora-
ton and Improvement of the home
of fundamental Importance to our
people. They are the ones, because
of their constant association with
this problem and their study of rural
conditions, to whom this study
makes the greatest appeal. They
have assembled the data, which fol-
lows. I trust that hundreds of peo-
pie may be stimulated by these sug-
ges+i~ns to make a definite effort
this year towards the Improvement
of the general exterior of their
homes.
The exterior woodwork Of house
needs repainting once in five to ten
years, according to climate and 9TH
er conditions, although if not done
with proper material or sufficient
care it will not last as long as this.
The interior should, with good care,
stand from fifteen to twenty years,
and then may not require complete
renewal. Exterior paint sometimes
loses its luster, while the body of
the paint is still good, and in cases
of this kind it is sufficient to wash
the surface and then give it coat
Of oil. This replaces the oil which
has specifically persisted, imparts
a gloss and brings out the color. If

one handful of salt to the bucketful
of whitewash. Stir thoroughly and
apply evenly. 1t is necessary to keep
the above mixture thoroughly stirred
to get the best results.
Drying Fruit and Vegetables at
Home.
r. D. Bladenboro, N. c.
writes I would like to dry
peaches like those on the mar
ket. Are they sun dried or dried
some other way?
Fruits and vegetables can be
dried in various ways. Most of the
fruit put up commercially in the
eastern states is dried artificially
and on a commercial scale. These
DRYERS are specially constructed and
operate on the basis of a draft Of
hot air being driven through them,
which carries off the surplus mois'
ture the fruit contains. Homemade
dryers of various kinds can be Sc
cured without much difficulty
through the agency of any of your
local hardware stores. There are
two types which may be used, the
sun-dryer and the stove-dryer. The
one is used out of doors and the
other is used on top of the kitchen
stove or range.
A sun-dryer can be easily made
at home. It consists of wooden
trays, which can be supported on
a table or any sort Of satisfactory
rack. These trays may be made of
any size that can be conveniently
handled. They need not be over
two or three inches in depth. They
should have wire screening on the
bottom and over the top, The top
screen should be removable so as
to permit the ready emptying or
filling of the trays. The screen on
top is used, of course, to keep flies
from getting into the fruit.
Peaches may be dried with tho
skins on, or they may be pared. 1t
is desirable to take the skins off
whenever this Is practicable. The
peaches should then be put in lay
ers in the trays. A relatively thin
layer is the most desirable for SUM-
drying, and in no event should the
tray be filled to a depth of more
than two inches. AS soon as some
of the water has dried out stir the
fruit from time to time. You can
tell when 1t is sufficiently dry by
equeezing it between the fingers. If
it is spongy and falls apart 1t is
dry enough.
When this operation has been
completed the fruit should be put
up in clean paper sacks which have
been made as insect-proof as pos
sible.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

Atlanta, Ca, October 20, 1884.
"Hon. w. H. FELTON,,
Gainesville, Ga.
"Dear Sir: Your letter Of recent
date came duly to hand. A press of
official work has prevented reply
before this time.
II have given much thought to
the subject mentioned by you, a
reformatory for juvenile criminals,
before your letter came. In my
message to the legislature I will call
attention to the Importance Of the
subject, and the legislature in it's
wisdom will doubtless pursue a
course for the best interests of the
class mentioned, and of society and
of the commonwealth.
Permit me to say feel sure that
your experience in legislation
will be of great service to the state
during your service in the general
assembly. Should you visit the city
before the assembly conVenes, 1
would be pleased to discuss with you
several matters of Importance that
will come before the legislature, and
which are of interest to the state.
For your kind expression upon
my reelection. accept my thanks.
Very respectfully,
(SigneD "HENRY D. M'DANIEL.'
DR.. FELTON, presented a bill and de-
Tended it heroically during his six
years after 1884.
He did not care a copper what the
| opposition said in reply to his bill,
| but when representation from
| Sumter county decided to attack me
as the political she" of Georgia, he
work up an "old lion" Ito use the
words Of Charles A. Dana, in the
columns of the New York Sum, who
! did not permit such an attack on his
| wife to pass.
I went from home that day, had
time of it to procure a seat high
up in the gallery, and my husband
| had no notice that ] was in the
building at the time. He was speak
| ing on the floor Of the house when
| contrived to secure place to
stand or sit in the tremendous eX'
element Of the hour. I could hear
his wonderful clarion voice down on
the street as I was trying to get up
the steps of the old capitol building
on Marietta street to hear better
The story is too long to copy ii
down at this time. All the papers
were full Of it next day, and it was
an impromptu speech, and will
mark a day in Georgia history, long
after the actors stalwart frame has
passed into dust.
To him belongs the credit of the
reform movement for reforming jul
venile criminals) in the state OF
Georgia.
The lessees were strongly in
trenched by reason Of political in
fluence and plenty Of money. They
fought to the limit to hold on to the
vast profits of the convict lease
They employed lawyers and influ
enced ambitious legislators by meth
DDS generally employed to hold then
to their support, but the faithful ole
member from Barlow county not
only influenced public opinion or
juvenile criminals, but saved to the
state the Western and Atlantic rail
road, the best paying property any
state ever owned.

Who Began the Reformation Move
ment in Georgia?

In the years to come there may
be some discussion as to the begin
ners or originators Of various re-
form movements in Georgia or in
other states of the federal union.
There is likely to be conflict in
testimony.
While some of us aged persons
are still living it may be we'll to
furnish our recollections. It is the
safe thing to do. Also the proper
thing to do, as one old body sees it..
In the year 1884, my husband, the
late DR., William H, FELTON,, was
elected to represent Barlow county
in the Georgia legislature. He had
previously served in the United
States congress- for six years. l
take no risk when I say he was,
therefore, one of the best equipped
Of legislators when he took his seat
as representative from Barlow coun'
ty in the year 1884. 49,
It is also a matter Of proof that
he was urged to go to the Georgia
legislature to oppose the sale OF the
Western and Atlantic railroad. He
had represented Cass county (noW
Bartow), in the state legislature ten
years before the Civil war, and l
have an old letter written to him by
Hon. Francis Barlow showing the
latter's confidence and regard for
the Cass county legislator in 1872,
Long before he was elected in 1854
I had been writing for newspapers,
and urging the lawmakers OF the
state to abate the horrors OF the
convict lease system, then in force
in this state and other southern
states. Also the necessity for re-
moving females, Of both colors, from
the chaingangs, wnere they were
permitted to associate with male
prisoners and lustful guards. AT
one time there were twenty-odd lit
tie children running around in Geor-
eia's prison camps under three years
Of age. Measuring my words as
now write them down, consider my
service on this line as perhaps the
most effective and the most daring
Il will not say heroic), Of all my
many struggles for better civil gov
ernment.
When DR.. Felton was elected to
the Georgia legislature in 1884, I
was in the chick of the fight" He
made pledge to me that he would
introduce a bill to remove these un'
happy females; also bill to create
reformatory for the young criml'
nails, who were kept in constant con
tact with hardened veterans in
crime. I was selected by a resolu
ton, adopted in state w. C. T. U
convention at Macon, Ga, to pre-
pare a memorial on these matters
urging the big men Of the state tc
secure these needed reforms. DR.
FELTON, introduced by memorial al
of which is a matter Of public rec
ord. While the canvass was going
on in Barlow county DR.. FELTON, re
ceived the following letter from Gov
ernor Henry D. Mcdaniel, which Will

Beautifying the Home

institution that is most fundamental
10 The welfare of society. In fact,
without the home civilization on its
present basis cannot be preserved or
successfully maintained. May we all
nave beautiful home? Yes, indeed.
AZ depends entirely on what our idea
VI beauty and attractiveness may be.
mere are those who think that great
stone battlsnlents and iron gates of
magnificent proportions make
non lnoIlle. In this they are mistaken.
Ahere is fine prospect, indeed, that
lnere will be not as much real hap

MOST humble artisan, yet tn artisans
cottage, though it occupies but
small bit of ground, may be set in
beautiful environment of trees and
snrubbery that will grow but for
the setting out, and certainly in this
oay and generation the inside of the
nome may be made attractive for
nodlcum of expense. Surly the eX-
'terlor may be kept in a pleasing con-
oltlon through the rational use OF
paint from time to time. What we
t1cular direction in adding to the at
! tractlveness and beauty of our home
Is sometimes, I think, not generally
appreciated. Otherwise I think
many more rural homes would be
painted.
In order that the Importance Of
TINS matter may be more generally
understood and appreciated, the
nf Wv ioIo oh
be Instituted for the attainment of
these ends is outlined below. The
recommendations made have been
slmplified as much as possible. They
represent the views of experienced
workers. Let us put on campaign
Of home Improvement in which the
paint brush may be made to func-
ton to the greatest possible adj
vantage. Have you ever ridden
across the country? If SO you must
have been impressed with the drab
nature of most of the farm homes
with which you came in contact.
Where is no visible evidence of eX-
terror decoration. Many Of the homes
have apparently not been painted at
all. Irrespective of any other re-
suit, this is a mistake because in
this day when wood has become so
scarce and costly the preservation
Of the home from decay becomes a
matter of Importance. We can do so
much along this line at such rela-
lively small expense that we ought
to direct attention more frequently
to this matter and try to emphasize
1t with such force as to make our
people throw aside the lethargy
which possesses them relative to this
matter and go to work to paint up
their homes. The comparative iso-
lation and the unattractive setting
of a home may be transformed fire.
