Atlanta. Jau. 1, 1991.
The United States census for 1900
filings to light somo important facts.
One of them is that in overy section of
the Union there is a decided check to
the tremendous growth of tho cities at
the expense of tho country. While the
cities and towns show a healthy in
crease, there has not been within tho
Inst decade that abnormal growth which
caused nlarin to overy thoughtful pa
triot. A large, intelligent and prosper
ous rural population is tho strongest
guarnntuo of our republican institutions.
Successful farmers, who use all tho im
proved methods and by well directed
efforts show tho best side of country
life, arc doing much to niako bright,
energetic ambitious young men and
women understand that there is open to
them a chance for social enjoyment, for
fortuuo aud for famo without flocking
to the citios, so overcrowded with those
seeking employment, as to precludo tho
possibility of remunerative wages. Of
course there will nlways be movements
from the country to the city, but much
has already been done to stop tho general
migration from the farms, which at ono
time threatened seriously the existence
of rural life fn Georgia. Much moro
can bo done. Next to the love of pa
rents and other members of tho homo
circle, a pretty dwelling with beautiful
surroundings and a fair number of con
genial neighbors havo great power to
bind the heart to home.
' Where the country home is made at
tractive fond memory will linger around
the spot consecrated by the recollection
of childish joys and sorrows, and often
it happens that even the wayward boy
with a roving disposition will, after a
taste of the world that lured him away
with its entioements, retnrn to the fam
ily hearthstone and settlo down to tho
task of cultivating his paternal acres.
SOME THINGS THAT ADD TO TnE ATTIIAC-
TIONS of a country home.
Even the farmer of moderate means
can, by the judicious nse of paint, ap
plied by his own hands, transform an
unsightly dwelling into a neat cottago,
which tho skill of his provident wife
and daughters can tastefully adorn with
creeping vines aud blooming flowers.
A flower garden, or a grass lawn with
gravel walks, would form a beautiful
approach to any dwelling. A few well
chosen pictures should graco the walls
aud choice selections from the best au
thors should lie upon the center table,
and adorn tho family library, which,
even though it bo a small ono, will whl
to many a winter evening a charm that
will not fail to attract tho young aud
cause them to remaiu conteutodly in
tho family circlo before the choerful Are
during tho long winter evenings.
what has this subject to do with
agriculture?
But some one may ask: “VVImt has
this subject to do with agriculture?
Mnch every way. For everything that
tends to make the home attractive helps
to put a check on tho dissatisfaction
With country, life, which has caused
many a restless boy to forsake tho form
and seek for happiness and fortune mid
other scenes.
A fence in thorough repair, bright
with paint, or, where that Is not avail
able, with a good coat of whitewash, adds
much to the beauty of the viueclad cot
tage with its grassy lawn, bordered by
bright flowers, amid which wind the
well kept walks. Near by the barn,
well stored with the products of his own
field, makes glad the farmer's heart and
gives bis family the assurance of a suf
ficiency of wholesome food, and of a
surplus with which to purchase articles
of need or luxury. In summer fields of
waving corn, nuituriug cotton or forage
plants and grasses give to the farm the
appwrance of thrift. Now while win

poultry pats and affords employ
ment TO THE CHILDREN.
Most of onr farmers seem to think.that
the poultry industry is too small a thing
for them to spend their tune upon. lot
us consider this for a few moments. Ao-
cordiug to a conservative estimate the
poultry product of this country amount*
to $290,000,000. Georgia is not produc
ing her share of this wealth. She doe*
not even produce enough for home con
sumption. Any inhabitant of our cities
knows that thousands of dollars go.
from them every year to the farmers of
adjoining states for chickens and tur
keys, which coaid be supplied just as
well from Georgia farms aud without
tho cost of auy additional labor npon
the part of the farmer. The ladies and
children of the house can soon learn to
look after the poultry.
THE MARKET FOR POtJLTRT.
We often hear the complaint that
there is no market Yet the farmers of
Tennessee and other states, even as far
north of us as Maryland, raise poultry
and eggs, and after paying the express
companies for shipping them, make fair
profits in Georgia markets. If there 00-
curs at any timo an ovor*production in
Georgia why cannot our farmers find a
market iu the targe winter hotels of
Florida, which now got these supplies
from Baltimore?
One trouble with our Georgia poultry
is that while many farmers reoogniie
the difl'ereuce between a Jersey and
a scrub cow for milk, or a Hereford and
the common stock for beef, they seem to
think that auy thing will do for poultry.
Henco the short weight chickens and
small eggs which cannot compete with
better articles from other states.
BREEDINOOF POULTRY—CAPONIZINO.
Those who raise poultry, whether in
large or small numbers, should breed
from good stock alone. If meat is the
chief desideratum, the Brahma or Co
chin China might be selected; if eggs,
the Leghorn or Minorca; but, for both ,
meat and eggs a Plymouth Rook or Wy
andotte is good. Remember that in-
breeding from year to year deteriorates
any stock. Hence the best authorities
advocate the introduction of new male*
into every flock each year.
Caponizing is producing capon* from
tho young cockerels, just as steers are
produced from the yonng trail*. Capon*
grow much heavier than cocks and sur
pass them greatly in tenderness and
flavor. Capons from good breeds some
times weigh from 12 to 15 ponnds and
bring from 10 to 20 cents a pound.
Eaa PRODUCTION.
There is snch a thing as egg strains in
poultry, as well as milk strains or beef
strains in cattle. But food also has a
great effect on egg production. Every
farmer should havo a ground bone cut*
ter, so that ho can add meat scraps and
ground bone to the poultry feed. The
addition of skim milk to the ration will
greatly increase the production of egg*.
Chickens should also have’ tho run of a
small patch of ryo or other green food
in winter.
Mr. R. L. Pritchard, land and indus
trial agent of tho Central of Georgia
railway, from whoso pamphlet on poul
try wo have here taken many sugges
tions in a condensed form, advise* farm
ers to get somo good work on poultry.
A good poultry yard with well kept
houses for shelter add* much to the sno-
cess of o farm or market garden and
gives to the children profitable employ-
ment aud pleasant diversion.
THINGS THAT BIND THE HEART TO HOME.
A pretty homo with attractive sur-
roundings, wcllbred cattle and horse*,
whether few or many, poultry of the
best breed and field* that are by skilfnll
farming made to produce abundantly
give to the farm an air of comfort and
prosperity that cannot fail to attract and
bind the hearts of the young people ta
their country home.
But a shabby dwelling, tnmble down
fences, poor lands poorly tilled, repel
young people of spirit aud produce in
them a repugnance to country life that
never forsakes them while memory last*.
