COUNTRY HYGIENE.
in comparing the health of country
people and city dwellers, one is often
impressed by the very slight difference
between the two.
One would naturally suppose that the
inhabitants of large cities, subject to
overcrowding, dirt and dust and smoke,
and the severity of the struggle for existence
inseparable from life in such communities,
would fall ready victims to disease;
and that their country brethren,
enjoying the isolation, the pure air and
br'ght sun, and the more simple life,
would'escape the germ-diseases at least,
Consumption, especially, to which pure
air is sucn a fee, ought to be a disease
of the city only?as purely a town disease
as yellow fever is a disease of the
tropics. The farmer spends much of his
time in the open rai, and his house stands
by itself, exposed to the air on all sides
and usua'ly bathed in sunl'ght the greater
part of the day; yet tuberculosis prevails
alarmingly in many rural districts,
and scourges the family of the farmer as
relentlessly as it does the dwellers In
city tenements.
The evident reason for this Is that
there is many a farmhouse which, although
it has pure air all about it is a
sealed box. The men of the family are
outdoors in summer from sunrise to sunset,
but from sunset to sunrise many
families sleep in a house from which air
is excluded as carefully as if it were poison?as,
indeed, the night air is believed
by many to be.
The women are housed most of the
time, hnd many of them being "good oldfashioned
housekeepers." they are at
pains to keep the windows closed to exclude
dust, and the shades drawn to keep
out the sunlight, which fades their carpets.
Many a farmhouse is indeed a germs'
paradise. Once a case of consumption
starts, it is a miracle if any member escapes.
Things are improving in the country,
for modern farmers are good readers,
and are learning of the wonderful properties
of fresh air; but there is still need
of hygienic missionaries to preach open
windows day and night.
The water-sunnlv U nnnthon
disease too often ignored in the country.
Typhoid fever is as much a disease of
the country, in its inception as consumption
is a disease of the city. If proper
care were exercised by country dwellers
to secure a pure water-supply, and to prevent
the pollution of soil and streams,
the mortality statistics of the cities would
show a remarkable improvement, as city
people must get water from rivers and
streams fed by the drainings of rural
communities.?Youth's Companion.
The "Agricultural 8pecial" of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, which
toured Georgia so successfully in the interests
of agricultural education last February
and March, will not run again this
year, contrary to general expectation, and
the hopes of the trustees of the college.
This decision was reached at the meeting
of the board of trustees in Athens, on
-V ? ?
mc Huuwmg oi ur. Andrew M. Soule,
president of tbe college, that he could
not possibly get ready In time to run the
train.
