Missouri Tin Mines.

The Greenville mo Reporter says:
The reduction and smelling works OF
the Missouri Tin Company, near Fred
ericktown, Madison County, are at last
completed, and are pronounced by
competent experts to be as complete IN
every respect as can be found anywhere
-evin in Cornwall. The machinery
has been tested, and everything works
satisfactory. We understand the Com
pany will in a few days commence the
smelling OF tin Those who have in
vestigated the subject most thoroughly
have no doubt as to the result, and we
hope soon to announce the receipt OF
pigs of tin of Missouri manufacture,
thus adding another important product
of industry to the already long list
which has entitled Missouri to the
name of being the richest mineral
State in the Union. Tin is not an
abundant metal, particularly in the
United States, and it is not strange
that statements respecting the mines IN
Missouri are received by the public
with great deal of allowance. But
those who have satisfied themselves by
careful and thorough investigation,
have shown their faith by their works
by investing nearly $4,000 in the
mines and in the most perfect machin
cry and buildings for manipulating
| the ore. HE# h-s7 ~ 81 1921

A YEARS. Railr0ad Accidents

From record of the railroad d1sas-
tiers in the United States, dating from
| the beginning of November, 1870, to the
end of October, 1871, we CLEAN the fol-
lowing facts. The report in question
Is compiled simply from newspaper re-
cords of casualties by rail, and is thus
only an approximation to the entire
truth. The whole table comprises re-
turns of LOT railroad accidents" the
greater portion of which were, rightly
| speaking, not accidents at all It
shows a total of 81 killed and 254
wounded, as the result of collisions, To-
connective explosions, giving way
of bridges, and trains running off the
track. Were our railroads worked as
they oughtto be, it is perfectly obvious
that collisions at least ought to rank as
impossible occurrences. Of this class
| of accidents, there we're 40 in all dur
ing tae period referred to, showing a
total Of 108 persons killed and oil
wounded. That Is to say, two thirds Of
the killed and nearly one-third of the
wounded were, beyond any doubt, vic

The Westward Movement Of the Center
OF Foundation.

Prof. Hilgard of the Coast Survey
has made some interesting calculations
from the last and previous censuses
which show the steady westward move
meDt OF the center of the population of
the United States. Prof. Hilgard uses
the phrase "center of gravity of the
population" which, imagining the
country to be a plane loaded with inhab-
itants distributed over it in the manner
shown by the census, would be the
point upon which the plane would bal
ance. In 1910 this point was near the
eastern foot of the Cumberland Noun
talns, IN Virginia, upon the 39th par
allel of latitude. In 1850 the census
showed that the point had moved
westward 81 miles to point south
| OF Parkersburg, Virginia. In 1860 it
was 81 miles further west at place
south of Chillicothe, Ohio, not far from
the line between Virginia and Ken
lucky, In 1870 the point was found to
have moved is miles further west, and
| it is now at Wilmington, Clinton coun
ty, Chic. The great progress iii the
period between 1860 and 1860 was
caused, in part, by the rapid settlement
OF Texas and of the Pacific coast. The
Professor thinks that the relative
growth of the West viii not be so great
IN the future as in the past, and that,
therefore, the center Of population will
advance westward at a much slower
rate than heretofore He estimates that
in the year 1900 the center viii be
found to be near Bloomington, Ind,
about 40 miles southwest of Jndlanapo-

ShakesnearesS Likeness.

A Singular phenOmanon

1t IS possible that some portion of
the wealth of Chicago that melted into
thln air on the 9th of October was seen
again before it reached ultimate dis
perslon. A paper recently read before
the royal geological society of Dublin
stated that Capt. Edwards of the Nep-
tune, Id a passage from Quebec to
liverpool, found his vessel enveloped
IN the smoke and ashes, as he believes,
OF the burnt city. His report of the
facts certainly indicates plausible oc-
caslon for his belief On the 18th of
October, at sea, in lat. 46o n, long.

Ing strong from W, he observed a dense
cloud of fog arise on the western hori-
zon, which gradually came up with and
surrounded the vessel, and so contin-
ued until midnight From first COM
ing up with the ship until clearing off,
there prevailed a very strong smell of
burning wood, both the captain and
crew felt their eyes much irritated by
the smoke, and the decks were strewn
with fine dust. At the time, the ship
was more than 1900 miles from CHI
cage. The former owners of frame
houses in that city can therefore have
the consolation which Pat offered to
the shlp-carpenter when he dropped
his hammer overheard 'tSure it's

Sheep are looking up. The tide has
turned. But unless sheep are to be
taken up as a permanent part of the
farm stock and proper care and atten-
ton given to them, it would be better
for the farmer to let them alone. Sheep
prope tly cared for are the most profit
able and least troublesome farm stock !;
bat if neglected and improperly man
aged. none so soon become out of con-
dition, and become diseased and die.
Winter is the most trying time for
them. "Coddling " is the most hurt
ful thing. With good feed flock of

doors in the snow the whole winter,
than to be kept in close, warm stable.

every day It is a mistake to suppose
that sheep will thrive with snow for
drink, and yet many focks are per-
mitted thus to quench their thirst every
Gay through Inc winter.
Clover hay is the best standard feed,
with half a pint of oats, rye, or buck
wheat daily. Sheep do better with
little change in their feed occasionally.
Salt, N which a fourth part of sulphur
is mingled, should be placed where
they can always have free access to it.
Cornstalks may do as a coarse feed to
pick amongst, but as a standard feed it
does not seem palatable enough for
them. They will live on it but do not
thrive.
Separate the hocks into at last two
portions. The lambs, and in-lamb
ewes which may be weakly, should, at
all events, be taken from the strong.
heavy ewes, weathers, and bucks, and
extra care given to them. It is still
better to keep the weathers and bucks
by themselves, and thus make three
divisions. Guard against dogs, which,
at this season, are more than ever mis-
chievous. If dog is kept on the farm,
let him be well acquainted with the
flock and they with him.
Above all things, be patient, quiet,
attentive, and exactly regular IN feed

Warning Words.

The strength and nervous energy of the human
body oeght to be increased during the winter, for
two reasons In the first place, diseases of the most
deadly character may be generated at this season ;
and secondly, it is of the utmost importance that
during the cold weather months the system should
be put in condition to withstand the effects of the
Spring miasna, and the subsequent depressing heat
of Summer 1t is therefore advisable, in fact essen
tia to tone, regulate and invigorate the digestive
and secretye organs at this period of fine year. and
of all the stomachcs and alternatives at present
known, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the most
powerful, the most harmless, and the most agree
able. The temperature of winter would be in itself
glorious tonic, if it did not, unfortunately, bring
with it a volume of chilling moisture and un.
wholesome winds, which have bad effect on the
skin and lungs. These must be guarded against or
there is no security for health. The effect of a
course of the Bitters is to give igor and tone to the
entire organization-the superficial muscles and
nerves, well as the internal viscera A regular
habit of body, healthy and natural flow of bile an
active digestion, good appetite, pure blood and
vigorous circulation of that fluid are among the
blessings derivable from persistent use of Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters, which not only more than
supplies the place of the best tonics cathartics and
antiseptics prescribed in their separate forms by
physicians, but perform the three-fold work of in-

Dear mother Earth
Where is thy aprinr-tide song?
Thy summers featnered throng?
my fowery robe for feast and mirth?
Thou slumberest in strange weed;
No woody flock doth feed
On slope or meadow there.
The sweet birds all are dumb,
flushed is the bees low hum:
Yet cen in winter tholi art fair.
Each branch, each twig doth simmer,
thousand lights do glimmer,
Where'er mine eye is turned.
Who hath prepared thy bed :?
Who Thy white covering spread?
Thee with hoar-frost so fair adorned?
Thy Father good, above,
Thy fair white garment wove,

Too Much Seed

A man pays one dollar for one pound
of some new variety of potatoes: cuts
it, plants one eye in hill, gives extra
care and cultivation, and reports great
yield of an extra quality of potato.
Now, suppose we take the same course
with some old variety, and report the
result.
One of the most successful potato
growers [ ever knew in Ohio says he
finds one eye in hill always enough.
Hon, I. 0. Jones, OF Delaware, Ohio,
/, IN an agricultural essay on Delaware
County, says one of the most success
fuI corn growers instructs his dropper
when he comes to the intersection Of
the furrow or hill "There do YOU
stop, and stand there, till the day o.
judgement if necessary, until yor
there deposit three grains Mark YOU
not three to SIX, but three; no more
no less"
In field of wheat one half sown
short one and half bushels per acre
yielded twenty bushels per acre, th
other half, one and five eighths bush
els of seed per acre, yielded sixteel
bushels per acre.
One field of corn, four 70 six grain
of seed per hill, yielded forty bushel
(by measure) of small ears and nut
bins. Another field, three to fou
grains per hill, yielded forty-fve bush
els, large ears, per acre. W.
