Let the chicks have plenty of free
range.
The young chicks should be kept
growing.
The first requisite in fattening fowls
is a good coop.
To make chicks grow first give
plenty of good fresh air; don't allow
them to crowd.
Keep plenty Of water fresh and
clean for your poultry, and fight for
lice and mites.
Much loss is suffered by poulterers
from failure to properly fatten their
stock for market.
Fowls, to fatten well, should be con-
fined in small space in perfect dark
ness, and kept perfectly quiet.
Fine gravel is not the proper grit for
poultry. They want a sharp material
with which to grind their feed.
Charcoal pounded fine and kept in
the drinking pans will keep the young
and old birds in good condition.
Swelling of the head Is frequently
caused by sharp draft on the fowl,
from some small knothole or crack.
Grit must be provided for fowls. but
the substance should be sharp and of
size for poultry as for man or animals.
To keep a hen in good health she
needs nearly seven times more fresh
air in proportion to her size than does
the horse.
If the hens are expected to lay
heavily during the winter, they must
be cared for every month of the year,
and fed more heavily as the fall
months come on.
If you are in the thoroughbred poul.
try business, do not sell your Gull
stock alive. Dress it and see that the
culls are not worked onto the markets
as your particular grain.

ter is in a deep ravine, the banks
of which are difficult to climb.
AS soon as the announcement was
made at Washington, Prot. William
A. Cogshall, professor of astronomy
in Indiana university, located in this
city, began the work of establishing
the center according to the figures
given, in order that monument may
mark the spot, as has heretofore been
done in Indiana, which state has been
honored with the distinction of hay
ing the center of population within
it's confines since the census of 1890.
Prof. Cogshall had a difficult trip
on his preliminary survey and de-
scribed it as follows: with the data
furnished | drove east of Bloomington
six and one-half miles, nearly to the
Brown county line. | found the
neighborhOOd of the center to be in
an unbrOken second growth forest,
thick with brush for about two miles.
The road up there is perhaps the
worst in the state of Indiana. The
center itself lies off about a half a
mile from the road in a deep gully.
1t is covered with second growth tim
Der from twelve to fifteen feet high
The growth is so thick that it is al
most impossible for man to make
his way through it. Before the CEN
ter is definitely and finally fixed, it
will be necessary to make a night
trip to the place so that observations
may be taken from the stars
The ravine in which the center is
located is typical of Monroe county
and Brown county ravines and anyone
who has hunted in gully in this part
of the state knows the difficulties to
be overcome. Young trees are so close
together that sometimes the hunter
can hardly squeeze through.
The ravine containing the center is
noted for game. Rabbits, squirrels
and pheasants abound and at the same
time rattlesnakes and spreading vipers
are not scarce. In the spring the ra-
vines in this part of the county are
aglow with the bloom of the red bud
and the dogwood and birds sing and
multiply undisturbed.

The Wreck.

Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow, the eastern
golf champion, was talking at the
Cape May Golf club about the benefits
of sea air, ''To look at the cottagers

quently than l could do. How pale
and wan seem city people beside these
brown, supple, vigorous men and
women. An excursionist from the
city said to fisherman on the beach
the other morning:
DO you have many wrecks here?'
"The fisherman looked contemptu-
ously at the city man, who was in
bathing dress. He looked contempt
uously at his hollow chest and white,
thin legs and arms, and then he re-
piled: You're the fust I've saw this

of flexible percolating material hangs
down from each tube to a point close

liquid insecticide, which keeps this

chicken wants a drink it has to push
its head under the flap and both in

done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the

and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfgured infants

firmly in the extended position by
clips at the four corners. When the
coop is collapsed, pins lock the fold

chickens to market or to a poultry
store After the live fowls have been
disposed of a dozen of these improved
receptacles can be folded up, tied in
one bundle and shipped back to the
place where they came from at small
expense and no trouble. They are
equally handy on the chicken farm.

POPULATION CENTER

Bloomington, Ind.-The center of
population of the United States as
figured out by the bureau of census at
Washington, is one of the widest
spots in Indiana. The center is about
four and one-half miles south Of I'm
ionville and seven miles east of
Bloomington
According to the census of 1900 the
center was six miles southeast of Co
lumbus, Ind, and thus, during the last
10 years it has moved seven-tenths
Of mile north and approximately
81 miles westward, more than twice
the distance westward over the move
ment of the preceding decade.
The westward movement of our
population center during the past 1870
years Is shown as follows:

OF the Gazette's way Of thinking, all
OF the old party hostilitIes will be

The Gazette will gain no such end

ter is that most Of those who have
heretofore opposed Mr.. Dawson are
and always have been, in favor Of
nominations that actually reflect the
wishes Of the people. Such a state Of
affairs will be most quickly returned
by a strict, honest and efficient pri

There has been little speculation, by
comparison with the boom years, and
