wELL-PAvED STREETS.

One improvement must be commended,
and that is the paving of Centre street from
Union to Minersville streets with Belgian
blocks, distance of seven squares. The
work was well done by Mr.. Louis Grant, the
efficient and popular contractor, whose sue
cess in many enterprising improvements, here
and elsewhere, has been well earned and de-
served. The only thing lacking now is
patent street sweeper well manned or the
employment of permanent street hands to
keep this beautiful and substantially repaired
space clean. But while the main business
street of the town has been so well cared for,
what can be said of the other thoroughfares.
such as Market, Mahantongo, Norwegian,
Minersville, George Jackson and the cross

nothing, because they are for the most part
in wretched condition and a disgrace to the
authorities whose business it is to care for
them and keep them in repair and fit for use.

was laid out in 1916. The county was or
ganized and formed March II, 1911, and
Orwigsburg was made the county seat and re-
mained such until 1851. The county was
formed of parts of Berks and Northampton
counties and in 1870 had a population of
16,42S; in 1880, 1894, and in 1890, 154, ,l63,
an increase in ten years of 24lS9, and in
twenty years of 37,735. Pottsville's popula-
tion in 1880 was IS, ,253 and in 1890, 14,117,
an increase of only S64. Shenandoah in
1880 contained within its boundaries 1O,347
souls and in 1890 the census report made its
figures 1894, an increase in ten years of
5,597; 1927 more than Pottsville and an in
crease over Pottsville's increase of 4733.
Possibly these figures have been published
before in your columns, but they will bear
repetition to show the slow growth of the
county seat, as compared with Schuylkills
largest borough, your own Shenandoah, and
to illustrate my present inquiry and solution
into the possible future of the present Potts
vile. Doubtless the last census was i'm
perfectly taken and Pottsville may have
contained over $1,000 in 1890 and Shenan-
doah most likely had nearer 1900 in 1880
than 1894. But no matter we are con-
fronted with the obstinate and undeniable
fact that the county seat is progressing at a

POULTRY PICkINGS.

GUINEAs are great layers and their
eggs are rich.
EARLY Matched chickens bring the
best prices and the most money.
WHEN the fowls get too fat an exclu-
sive feed of oats will reduce them.
THOROUGH whitewashing inside and
out will aid in killing out the lice.
DAMP quarters and stagnant water
often prove fatal to turkeys and chick
ems
THERE is no advantage in Matching
out goslings until grass gets a good
start
PROPERLY fed duck at nine or ten
weeks old should weigh four pounds, a
chicken two pounds.
BANTAMs may be a thing of beauty,
but for practical poultry keeping for
profit generally they are a nuisance.
THE best cross for sitting hens is a
vigorous pet game cock with good part
ridge Cochin hens; this also makes a
good table fowl.
THE early chicken is the largest and
strongest, and will never be overtaken
by the ones that are hatched out late;
