got few nice berries. The plants
made a good growth and nearly covered
the ground. They wintered well and
last spring l was rejoicing in the pros
pect of bountiful crop of luscious
berries. A small trench was dug along
the brow of the hill, which could be
filed with water, or rather in which
the water could be allowed TO run when
thought necessary, and as the soil
was loose the water easily penetrated,
moistening the whole slope finely. All
went we'll until about the time for the
berries to ripen, when the plants began
to wilt and dry up. Water would not
revive them, for the grubs were eating
the roots off as fast as they could.
Now 1 knoW the grubs ate them. l
knoU that no COW manure has been
applied to the ground since it was
burned over and l knoo0 that water
was not all that was necessary.

Is the Incubator the Mother!

l noticed in the WATCHMAN of April
II an article, copied from the New
York SIN, entitled " A Chicks Parent
age" l should like to ask the writer
of that piece few questions. First,
would he expect to raise Plymouth
Rock chickens by setting eggs of any
breed under Plymouth Rock hen?
Second, if the chicken is Matched in an
incubator is the incubator or the per-
son who tends it the chickens mother?
Third, l knew of an instance where a
gobbler made a nest beside a sitting
turkey, rolled part of her eggs into his
nest and sat on them until they
Matched. Was the gobbler the mother
of those turkeys? l am interested in
poultry and should like TO know what
the reason is that goslings will grow
until time to hatch, and sometimes pick
the shell, and then die. Is there any
remedy?

The Center of Population.

For one hundred years the point
which represents the center of the re-
public has been steadily moving due
westward along the thirty-ninth paral-
lei of north latitude. Its average rate
of progress has been about five miles
per year. In 1900 its location was
eighteen miles west of Baltimore; in
1910 it had crossed the Potomac; in
1920 it was well on the western side of
the Shenandoah Valley; in 1880 it had
reached the highest ridge of the APP
palachians; in 1850 it had passed the
mountain barriers and was following
the course of the little Kanawha through
West Virginia; within the next ten
years it had, by rapid march of more
than eighty miles, reached point over
half way across the state Of Ohio; in
1870 it was within fifty miles of Gin
cnnati; in 1880 it had entered the val
ley of the Miami; in 1890 it will prop
ably be found well within the boun-
diaries of Indiana. That sooner or later
this central point which represents the
westward course of empire in the
United States will cease to advance, or
otherwise will reach turning-place, is
absolutely certain. Should its progress
continue for another century as during
the past hundred years, it would at the
end of that time be more than half way
across the state of Missouri. But this
is not likely to be the case. Each sue
ceeding census for several coming dec
AIDES will doubtless show Stacking up
in the rate of advancement westward,
and finally the direct forward move
ment must cease. Bearing in mind
the narrow vision and the mistaken
forecasts of our early legislators, it
seems hazardous to conjecture with re-
gard to future probabilities. Yet there
is good reason to believe that not for
many years will the nucleus of the coun-
try's population pass beyond, or even
reach, the Mississippi river.-Jomes
Bold,cin, IN Scribner'S Magazine.

The Hare and the Hat.

Young man." says writer in the
St. Louis Post Dispatch, "when you
put on your derby hat does it ever
occur to you that a poor little bunny
has died that your hat might live? l
don't believe it does. | doubt if you
ever knew that your hat was made of
hare's fur l did not know it until the
other day. OF course if you are pro-
gressive sort of a young American you
believe in evolution of some kind, but
here is chapter which l think will
give you new food for thought. First is
the hare; poor little fellow, he is killed.
Just how does not matter. Enough
that he is killed and his skin cut up
into strips about one-eighth of an inch
wide. The strips 60 through process
something similar to being drawn
through knot-hole. This takes the
fur off. Then comes a queer kind of
machine, by which strong current of
air is made to blow the fur against a
wet revolving copper cone, to which
it sticks, mating together, as it is
in the nature of the fur to do, until
it assumes a shape over the cone like a
short, stumpy, very old-fashioned UNI

brella without any stick; then, by
plunging into very hot water and work
ing with the hands as potter works
his clay, this shape is thickened and
shrunk until it gets to consistency in
which it is held together and might
look on mans head something like a
respectable cabbage-leaf. l believe
bunny is fond of cabbages. You know
the old saying, A man is what he eats"
and this seems to be case in which
bunny almost becomes cabbage-leaf
himself. Then the shape is dyed and
pressed and smoothed and flattened
and curled up and banded, and before
you know it you are wearing bunny on
your head-what is left of him. Don't
forget him now for the good turn he
has done you, will you? And don't
desecrate poor bunny's perennial shade
by wearing underneath that derby any
unseemly object. Remember there
may be good deal in hat. Let yours
contain not bricks but brains"

Why Baking Powders are Best.

Bakingpowders properly compounded,
and containing pure cream of tartar,
are more convenient than yeast, and
bread and pastry made with them are
just as wholesome and far more palata-
BILE. We are in entire sympathy with
the manufacturers of the Royal Baking
Powder, who commenced and are Wig
orously conducting the war against the
use of adulterated baking powders.
Before committing ourselves, however,
we made tests of sufficient number of
baking powders to satisfy ourselves that
the substitution of alum for cream of
tartar in their composition has not been
overestimated, while careful exam
ination of the Royal Baking Powder
confirms our belief that DIR. Mott, the
government chemist, when he singled
out and commended this powder for its
wholesomeness did it wholly in the in
terests of the public. We do not hest
tate to say that the Royal Baking
Powder people deserve the gratitude of
the community whom they are endeav-
oring to protect.-HaWs Journal o,

Mr.. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply William or John-that is to say,
he had merely Christian name with
out any kind of handle" before it or
surname after it. Some means of dis
tinguishing one John or one William
from another John or another William
became necessary. Mechanics derived
from mans trade or from his dwelling
place, or from some personal popularity,
were tackled on to their Christian names,
and plain John became John Smith.
AS yet there were no I" misters " in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fell
lows-became, perhaps, landed pro-
prietor or an employer of hired labor.
Then he began to be called in the Nor
man French of the day the maistre
of this place or of that, of these work
men or of those. In time the "maistre,"
or master,' as it soon became, got
tackled on before his name and he be-
came Master Smith and his wife
was Maistress Smith. But gradually
the sense of possession was lost sight
of and the title was conferred upon
any man who had attained social dis
tinction of any kind, whether by mere
possession of wealth or by holding
some position of more or less consider
alton and Importance. 1t is only within
comparatively modern times that the
term came to be considered an almost
indispensable adjunct to every ones
name when mentioned in ordinary con-
versation or writing. Maistress Smith
soon became Mistress Smith. Exactly
how and when the term got corrupted
can not be said. Master Smith, how
ever, remained Master Smith long
after his wife became Mistress smith

The Jack of All Trades.

He used to be the mechanical oracle
of every community, great and small.
He could patch up machine that the
machinist swore wasn't worth the rivets
required in the patch. He could make
than ever without simmer. He could
repair watch, grind skates, put rivets
into bladeless knives, make humming
tops and botch up good work with a
caution. He was attached to the ma
chine-shop and round-house about the
same as a liveried fool was to the court
of foolish kings, His work is over and
his days numbered. This is not the
stone age, or the iron age, or the age
of steel, nor yet the age of progress
it is the age of specialties.-Locomotire

More About Strawberries.

Since writing my article on straw
berries some kind friend has sent me
copy of the Massachusetts Ploughman
containing the report of An Impor-
tant Discussion on Strawberry Culture"
Mr.. Wood calls the Sharpless a better
berry in size than the Wilson, but very
poor in quality. think he has never
eaten ii fresh from the vines. Mr..
Hill says that they are brought into
market when they are half green. He
says: l think the Sharpless will be of
good color if you let it be long enough"
True; so will the Longfellow and
Miners Prolific; but when they get to
be of good color all 0Cer they are past
their prime. The fact is they ripen
before they color, while the Wilson
colors before it ripens. l was reading
recently an article on " Strawberries in
Midwinter," and the writer made the
statement that instead of ripening first
at the stem and gradually extending
toward the point, they ripen first at
the point. | think that is a difference
in variety. With me the Crescent
ripens first at the point and the Wick
first at the stem. Some catalogues say
that Miners Prolific resembles the
Charles Downing. | can not see any
points of resemblance. The Downing
is light-colored berry of fine flavor,
but rather sour, colors evenly and is a
rather short, small berry. Miners
Prolific is very dark where it is col
ored; very sweet, but lacks flavor. 1t
is large, productive and a rather long,
flattish berry. In the article referred
to Mr.. Sampson says: Il have found
that COW manure produces many grub
worms. When a vine begins to wilt
you will find one of those fellows in
there every time, or else he has got
through with that place and gone to
the next, and there you will find one
of those plaguy things" Colonel

application of water; third, when the
berries begin to color make a thorough

like to give little of my experience
on these two last points. Not far from
the house is steep hillside, sloping
to the south. 1t was grown up to
weeds and bushes, and the goodman
said, e" Wouldn't that be good place

it would" l said; elf you will clear il

course of time the hill was terraced

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while
lying down. to breathe freely, sleep soundly and un-
dsturbed to rise refreshed head clear, brain active
and free from pain ache; to know that poison
putrid matter defiles the breath and rots away
the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing
to feel that the system does not through its veins
and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to
undermine and destroy, is indeed blessing beyond
all other human enjoyments. To purchase inn
munty from such fate should be the object of all
afflicted. But those who have tried many remedies

Fairy bubbles, how you glowedl
Bright and shining each.
Blown from waves of childhood's love,
Caught in webs that Fancy wove,

REMARKS BY EDITOR.-We can give
no counsel or advice in the case. If
the teachings of him who spake as
never man spake, and whose follower
you profess to be-whose whole life and
teachings were love and peace and for
bearance-can not help and guide you
Alright, ,ce must be utterly powerless to
do so. 1t seems curious that such bit
terness and strife should be found
among the disciples of peace; but church
quarrels are the btterest of all, in
spite of all the teachings and example
of the Master, whose followers they
profess to be. What must be the effect
on the mind of the child to see such a
state of things-the very religion which
is being taught him by precept being
made the cause of strife and anger?
Will he think such religion worth the
having?
