 May Go To Africa

Present Center of Population

Washington, August 27.-According to census bureau announcement, the center of population of the United States is four miles and a half south of Unionville, Monroe county, Indiana. Since 1900, when it was SIX miles south- east of Columbus, Ind, it has moved thirty-one miles westward and seven tenths of a mile northward. The west ward movement was more than twice that of the l89O-19Oo decade. This ac- celeration is attributed by the census officials principally to the growth of the Pacific and Southwestern states.
 The geographical center of the United States is in northern Kansas. so that the center of population is about 500 miles east of the geographical center.

THE WORKERS.

They're giving all manner of knowledge, the teachers infesting this vale; you store up your head in college, or gain erudition by mail. Alas, but in all our questing the thing that's most useful is mis- sed; the beautiful science of resting is never put down on the list. The people who rustic around me pur- suing the kopeck and yen, astonish, disgust and confound me, they're such industrious men. They never let up for a second, all day they are working for gain; at night, when their profits are reckoned they're planning another campaign. They're planning some skirmiSh or SOrtie, some ambush they think may be sprung; they're older than Noah at forty, and die of old age while they're young. The thought of a let-up is funny, suggest it, and get d rebuff: "We'll rest when we have enough money, and money is surely the stuff" All through the coun- try you'll find 'em, for money they labor and grub, as though the Old Nick were behind lem, a-touching lem up with a club. All this may look good to the miser who lives by his big money chest, but some who are calmer and wiser insist on the beauties of resU.-Walt Mason.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR HENS LAY.

Poultrymen must remember that chickens require a mixed diet of grain. animal food and green or sue culent materials The food must al- So supply the lime and other mineral matter needed for good, firm egg shells, and an abundance of grit is required to aid digestion.
 Always provide plenty of fresh. clean water. Where only small flock is kept, chiefly to provide the family with eggs, it is a common mis- take to feed them too much corn. Corn is too fattensag for laying hens when kept in close confinement Wheat is better.
 Oats Is one of the best grain foods although rather expensive. The best way to force your hens to lay is to give them a we'll balanced diet of mixed grain and a little Pratts Pou,- try Regulator with every meal. Use two pounds of Pratts Poultry Regula- tor with every 100 pounds of mixed grains or mash. This we'll known Regulator insures good digestion and the hens relish the feed better. the proportion digested is larger and they lay more regularly.
 The flavor and odor of eggs is o:- ten affected by the food. Onions. for example, when fed for a considerable tune, produce noticeable flavor in the eggs. Ground food or soft food must form part of da-ly ration. Soft food is best fed in the mornine and it is easier to digest
 Whenever hens show a tendency 10 stop laying and their appetites are poor. Pratts Poultry Regulator is ab- soiutely necessary. A good standard ration is an equal mixture by weight. Of conn meal and ground oats added to an equal quantity of wheat. bran and fine middsings. This should be we'll mixed with water or milk. enough to wet it thoroughly without being sloppy.

CTS When "slackina Up.'
 The popular impression as to the ap- plication Of burnt cork by minstrel performers and actors in general is that it is rubbed on the face and hands Of the player from cork whose end B charred in convenient gas jet. This impression is. however, incorrect The burnt cork used bE minstrels and others is the product of the theatrical paint factories" just as is any other cosmetic or pigment employed by the profession.
 One house makes it in the following Ilanner: The corks are placed in three tin vessels. resembling wash boilers. with holes punched in their sides and bottom Alcohol is sprinkled over the c0rks. and they they are fired" When the corks have been properly charred they are placed in muslin sacks. which are kneaded in barrels of water. This operation forces the powdered charcoal through the sacks into the water.
 When all the charred corks have been worked through the sacks into the water in this way the water is drained through close canvas sack. and what remains in that sack is ready for the performers. The stuff is put up in cans. from which. wheD the minstrel is ready to .'black up.' he takes Httie Of the black paste in his hands and applies it to his face. neck and sometimes his hands.-New York Herald

\ FEW SUGGESTIONS
 TO kEC.NNCRS

TO BEGINNERS.
 Cleanliness is the keynote in the poultry business.
 If you start at all. sta-ss with good stock. You can keep a gol her as cheap as mongrel.
 When your hens stop laying thav may often be started again by change of feed.
 Never feed your chickens corn meal dough or sloppy food.
 Always be sure to keep your poul- try house dry. Chickens can stand cold to extremes if t is dry, but combined with dampness, they are sure to have roup and bad results will follow.
 NeVer expect your hens to do well 1T they are roasting in trees. Give them good house. regular feed and water and rest assured they will do their part.
 Most beginners make mistake try ing to breed too many varieties If you are going to start Tn the chicken business. first find out what breef you like, get some good birds of that breed and stick to it.
 Don't feed conn alone. Give the hens some wheat, oats-in fact, va riety If you want plenty of eggs
 Eggs for matching should not pc kept longer than two weeks. For the fresher and more uniform tn! are in size. age and color. the better they VIII hatch.
 Always keep your eggs in a cool place, They will keep better an1 hatch stronger chicks.
