of this eountiy has fnereasad 30 per cont since the last ° census was taken in 1500 and ..‘fh‘(?m'e{%'!’\g to.conservative puesses Ly men who are gunlified "W! HKnow, the number of Jersons should tatal in the neighbor hood “of 90000000, As a conse guones statisticians have arrived at the decision that {n 1920 the populaticin Will touch the 100000000 mark The cousus of 1910 is to cost the people Httle more than that of 1900 for the reason that machines, which are wonderful'in thetr makeup, have Loon invented By members. of tha

census bureau and ghese do far greater work 13..\’ the old style counting devices in use whvn the job was started nine years 2 _There are two styles of machines—one {g the eard punching device and the other the tabulator The first punches the holes in the census cards, which are arranged much as in the conventional card index. The wonderful tabulating machine then takes the pasteboards and solely by mechanfeal means adds, classifies and makes up totals fromm the cards, which pass through the: device faster®than the eye can follow them. Hoth machines are essential and each s ‘dependent upon the other for success. : e The new card punching machine, which is a: great improvement upon the old system, is an alectrical contrivance. Hitherto the operator was -compelied to play upon it like a typist, but to-day all that Is necessary Is to touch the key desired, press a lever and the niachine keeps on punching cards as long as the power is Kept on. The old Nand puncher was capable ef sending out 900 cards each day while the new automaton attains & speed of 3,500 and saves the operators’ nerves. * Another feature of these new machines {s that the United States will soon know, after the cards bave been turned in by the great army of statis-‘Ues-gatherers, just where it stands on population. Classification is also a great feature, divisions belng made of whites, blacks, and other races, along . with females, males, natives, foreigners, married and single persons. ' One hundred and fifty of these new machines are in the process of construction for the census taking of 1910. Three thousand persons will do the clerical work- in the government offices at aVashington.: So you see there is something to this census taking business.. - = o

Director North of the census declares that as soon as the incoming cards are punched he will be able to give to the country the total. The tabulating machines are now a closely guarded peoret in a little machine shop at the census bureau offices in Washington and at last aceounts the experts at work upon it were perfecting the details of its construction. It is a government fnvention and no one person gets the credit for it, but it will revolutionize the business of counting noses. :

and trying to make good. The conditions each ten Years weore so much dif ferent from those of the decade previous that

even though the same persotis were given the care of the offices connected therewith, they found themselved nt sea within a few davs. Now, howover, the permanent census borean makes: the counting of the popuiation a business for all time with Unéle Sam ind this gigantic job will be given the attention of hls weather eye from day to day, though the fruits of the work will be thrust info the public gaze only cnce in ten years, Men who are experts on taking the census of countries declare that the sysiem by which the governtent. will take the count in 1910 is admittedly a model which the whole world should fol low, if it would be as up-todate as this corner. Another project {s on foot to-day whick will greatly facilitate this census program. That s the erection of a permanent home for the populationcounters. If congress allows Director -North to erect such an ‘edifice, it will be a specially constructed statistics manufacturing plant. In a communication to congress Director North sets forth his plans. He plans to expend the sum of $675,000 for the purchase of a sité and for the sixstory fireproof building upon which he is laying his program. This, he says, will provide ample accommodations for the 3,000 persons who are ‘engaged in this work fsom yéar to year.

To-day, {f you were te visit Washington, and wistied to see the census bureau, you would he led to a onestory brick stricture Wwhich was erected for the tabulation of statistics in 1900. One: great space problem which the government faces is the storing of census reports and this took up just about. all the room of the old stryc ture, so that most of the clerks and other help had to be accommodated elsewhere. It was recently estimated that it would -house just about one-fourth of the clerks needed -for the census next year. ; ’ . The great army of house-to-house canvassers who will count you and your family in 1910 are not as yet even estimated by Director North, but #t is recorded that one man counts only about 10,000 persons, many of them counting less in the small space of time allotted to the tabulation. Thousands upon thousands of extra men will

The establishment of a per manent bureau will also bring about the perfection of more accurate, faster and far better ideas at later dates. Each decade will see changes for the best, it {s declared by those in power at Washington. ' : : - Caltivate the Open Mind. President Eliot says the open mind is a fruit of culture. 'And it is likewise, a Christian virtue:. The jman with an open mind i{s an agreeable person, He is just and kindly, One can talk with him with pleasure, for one can be quite sure, if the mind is open, there is no prejudice, envy or ill-will there. The open mind is where the truth is welcomed, snd where it is not tainted with meanness of any kiad. -As .a general thing, the more ignorant a perwon is the tighter is his mind closed. He thus beconies exceedingly absurd,.and -consequently pitiful. He loses influence and in time, respect. He likes to say his mind is made up, which means that the doors and windows of his soul are shut 20d no more light will be let in. : - : ~ That i 3 a bad sftvation for a person to get in.

What Are You Feeding For?

Peeding fowls for eggs 18 pot like feeding fowls for market. Eggs are complete In the elements that supply all the requisities for growth, as. is clearly ‘proven by the application of a certain degree of warmth for a certain length of time, when a chick comes forth as proof that these essential elements were present. This is & fact that should not be overlooked, for it teaches that fowls that lay eggs must have food that contains appropriate elements to produce eggs. Good health, early moulting, age, breed, appetite, cleanliness, are also factors to be considered in winter egg production. : ; : .

A Blind Policy.

The breeding of pure bred stdck of any kind is regarded by many people as simply a hobby. Some people say a mongrel hen is good enough for them. It may be, but they are certainIy blind to their best interests,.

Give a little of each kind often, and it will be found pretty hard to féed the hens so much that they will get overfat ‘With all the ‘talk about overfeeding hens, one fact has been impressed upon us. It is almost impossible to get a hen fat while she is laying regularly. This applles to all thé non-sitting breeds and to the American class. It would probably apply @o the Langshans also. The ‘wefght of evidence indicates that lack of variety is the principal cause of nonproduction: of eggs in any flock. -

Remember.

vln planning the feed lots for the feeding of lambs it should be remembered that sheep can withstand a very Jow. température when kept dry and sheltered from storms, but if they are allowed to stay in damp quarters even though "the temperature may never be very low you need not expect good satisfactory/ results. A plentiful supply of good pure water, and some salt should be given at all times.

} . The Poultry House.

Poultry- houses do not need gingerbread work. Such ornaments are expensive and sometimes are not even artistic. Square eorners, straight, plain walls give less chance for vermin to congregate and breed, and are more .easily cleaned. A house that is neat without and clean within will make a pléasant home for the heus. -

Today the system -he fnaugurated i 8 recog- : : nized by the law of the state and a probation officer-takes in hand all such cases and deals with them as he thinks best.» Judge Gould was his own_probation officer. He exacted a pledge from every man who he thought might, try to live up to {t. Often-he knew, and he did not hesitate (0 say soo 1o the men themselves, that it was only one chance out of a thousand that they would live up to their pledge for more ‘han a few days. By giving such offendérs a chance he-claimed that he alded them in over-. coming their appetite for liquor, and as their will power increased Judge Gould found. that their appearance before him came.to be less frequent, andin® many - cases -ceased alogether. Judge Pollard of St. Louis, who began a similar system, was invited to England to explain it to parilament, and it was largely due’'to his efforts that the system was recognized by the English law. In Portland Judge Gould established his card pledge system years ago, and co-operated with the families of the men, with their clergymen and friends In aiding them to reform. e e - Opportunity. , The automobilist had run over a calt * and was settling with the farmer, who happened to have a shotgun. : . “But look here,” he protested, “to ask me to give you $35 for killing a - common’ scrub calf is outrageous! it's; extortion!
