Percentage In Different Parti of the Country In the Lail Decade. Washington, Jnn. 15. Tho director of tho census announced today the percentage of Increase of population in different parts of the country, show ing for the InBt deendo n rapid do crease from provInuB rate of growth of population In tho wcHt, a less marked but decided decrease In the north, and n slight Increnso In tho south. For tho first tlmo In tho his tory of this country, tho population of tho south has Increased somowhat more rapidly than that of tho north. Tho cast, geographically, Is Included In tho turm north. Tho rnto for tho growth In tho north, west and south Is far more nearly tho same than it over has been. Tho otllclnl announce ment divides tho country as follows: West, from tho Pacific to tho eastern boundary of Montnnn, Wyoming, Col orado anil Now Mexico; north nnd south, tho respective Hides of a lino formed hy tho Ohio nnd Potomac riv ers nnd tho southern boundaries of Missouri mid Kansas. Tho per cent of IncrenHO from 1800 to 1880 was G1.9 In tho north, 48. t In tho south nnd isri.fi In tho west, whllo In tho last twenty years, 1880-1900, It was 48.7 in tho north, 48.5 south nnd 131.5 west. Prior to tho civil war, the northern states nearly doubled In population with ench twenty years, while In tho southern states tho Increase of popu lation was only nbout two-thirds as great. Since 1800, tho rato of growth In both parts of tho country has been much less, but whilo tho rato of growth In tho north has decreased steadily, that In tho south during the twenty years from 1800 to 1880 has been slightly less. During tho last twenty years thero has been no sub stantial differences In tho rato of growth of theso two sections. The per cent of increnso of growth of theso regions during each of tho last two tcn-yonr periods fol lows: 1880-1890, north, 24.8; south. 20.1; west. 71.3. 1890-1900, north, 19; south, 2.4; west. 31.9. If tho comparison Ih limited to tho states cast of tho Mississippi river, classing Minnesota and Louisiana with tho wostom ijtntes, tho result Is slightly different. It would show the Increnso to bo: 1880-1890, north. 20.1; south, 1G; 1890-1900, north. 19.9; south, 17.7. When tho trmiB-Mlssls-BlppI states aro omitted, tho rato of growth In tho north Is slightly greater than that In tho south, but tho prosont ilKToronco botweon tho two sections In this rospont Is nbout half what It was between 1880 nnd 1890, nnd loss than ono-soventh of what It wns be tween 1850 nnd 1800. $275,000 Grain Elevator Fire, Chlcngo, Jnn. 15.

Plans for a new ship canal will lie prunented next Thursday before the senate committee on canals by General I-Mward W. Her roll, for the American Isthmus Cana, dViipany nnd the Isthmus Companyl Iwtli corj.omtionH of ,New Jornoy. The route for tho canal proponed in from tlio Gulf of San Ulan to the Pacific ocean lndiind the Pearl Mauds and is called the Mundigo route. It will be proponed that the company buihl the canal under thu protection and supervision of the government, without any cont to tho United States, which w ill lnt asked to guarantee the bonds of the company. The company will propo.-e that the government havo tho lino of tho canal freo of charge for all government vessels, and if at any time tlio company does not do us agreed, tho government shall take ixs nession of the canal. The comjuny annertsjthatitj has secured a right of way. The newly suggested route is less than 30 miles long and therefore is shorter than any other no fur pro poned. No engineering difficulties aro encountered, its supporters nay, until a spur of tlio Andes is reached. This mountain chain must be pierced by a tunnel seven miles long and tho plans state that it will bo 200 feet high, 180 feet wide and deep enough for tho largest vessels which would go through the canal. Tho rock through which the tunnel would bo cut is said to he solid granite. In the tunnel n trolley appliance would tow the nhipn. General Serrell, who is at the head of the project, was engineer for thu Panama rail road, and hasjCacted as en gineer for tho government. The late It. P. Kothwcll, who at one time was president of the Society of Mining F.ngincers, and editor of the Mining Journal, thought tho scheme entirely feasible, ami was heartily in sympathy with it at thu time of his death.

Sclby of the Ohio station has tested the effects of extreme cold upon certain seeds. Including corn, wheat, rye. Max. sunflower, castor bean. cucumber, mimosa, yellow lupine, sain foln and plue. They were taken right from the temperature of the room and Immersed lu liquid air, for six, twelve, twenty-four and forty-eight hours for each lot. The liquid air rep resents a temperature equal to 310 de grees below zero, eertaluly an extreme test, for it Is not often that the cold est portion of the United States reaches much more than 50 degrees below zero. The seeds were germinated by the side, of lots not subjected to treatment, and1 there wns no essential difference In the proportion that germinated. The corn was not of high grade, and the starchy portion cracked badly, but the germ did not seem to be nffected. The ex treme cold seemed to be favorable rath er than otherwise to the tlax and rye. Of course the semis were properly dried, that Is air dry, before being sub jected to the test, hut with this precau tion the farmer need not fear Injury to seeds from freezing weather. If the castor bean, native of a tropical cli mate, could endure such cold, our gar den beans and peas should do so, and we see no good reason why squash, pumpkin nnd melon seed should not en dure cold ns well ns cucumbers, or clover, cabbage, turnip and others of the same size as well as lupine and flaxseed. Amerlcau Cultivator. Growing Corn Secretary Wilson said, after return ing from his Inspection of the corn crop last fall, that thero were many fields Injured by the heat withering the tassels so that they failed fertilize the silk; but this was much less uo tlceable where there was au abundance of organic or vegetnble mutter from plowed-under grass roots. Shallow cul tivating frequently, so as to maintain a dust mulch of two or three Inches on tho surface, also seemed n beueflt where It wns practiced, ns It prevent ed evaporation of moisture below, ns also the orgnulc mutter helped to re tain moisture In the soil. Much of the bottom land Is too wet In tho spring, causing the corn roots to spread out too near tho surface, and nlso to dry up when tho drought came. Such land should be utidcrdralned, that this surplus moisture may be carried nway, tho ground bo ready to work earlier, and the roots to strlko down deeper. MecttiiK Farm Competition. Time wns when tho farmer needed only to keep closo watch of what other farmers lu his own county or State woro doing In order to meet competi tion fairly. Now ho must keep his eyo on competitors In every Stnto In tho Union and even thou he frequently finds himself running behind. The remedy lies largely In chniige V meth ods and the building up of soil fertil ity. Many of the farms In the West, and In the great corn-belt sections nt that, nro not producing corn to com pare In quality and yield per nero with many of tho cornfields of tho Kast, on farms that have been worked, some of thorn, for moru than a century, because tho owucra of theso Western farms tho South learned the lesson of over taxing tho soil by the constant crop ping to cotton, nnd n bitter lesson It was. They are wiser now, nnd nro realizing tlm value of xtock, of legumes and of the Judicious use of commercial fertilizers. The soil of every farm U the factory of Its owner nnd to pro duce the greatest crops possible for nn Indefinite period It must have constant care, study and Improvements, other wise, like nny wornout mnchlne. It will fall to produce results. Indlanapoll.t News. Use of lrccrvatlvct. The committee of the Urltlsh Local Government lionrd hns been for two years Investigating the subject of pre servatives nod coloring matter In foods, and their report does not indi cate the danger from their use that had been feared by the alarmists. They name ns those preservatives four classes, borax or boric acid and Us compounds, sulphurous acid and sul phites, salicylic ncld or Its soda salt, which Ih more soluble, nnd formnllna or formaldehyde (made from wood al cohol). Of these the Inst Is the only one lu which they could find nny proof of Injury canned by their use. Yet as milk that is clean nnd properly cared for needs no preservatives, they would run no risks In an article of food so largely consumed by young children and recommend thnt the addition of preservatives or coloring matter to' milk offered for sale In the United Kingdom shall he on offense under tho "sale of food and drugs" net. They would have the use of formaldebydo and Its preparations absolutely prohib ited, and that salicylic acid should not be used to over the nmount of ono grain In n pint or pound of food. Thero Is no evidence that It Is hurtful In this small quantity. For butter, cream and margerlne only boric ncld or borate of soda should be allowed to be used, and that only to amount of one-fourth of one per cent In cream and one-half of one per cent In butter. Handy Feeding Ilox. The feeding box will prevent tho greedy or stronger Individuals from getting more than their share of food. Chopped roots, cabbage. etct are placed In the box nnd by the shape of the backboarl kept In motion as tho supply at the bottom Is eaten through FEEDING BOX. the narrow opening of the front board. The box Is supported on a low, table like structure with a narrow cleat around the edge, to prevent the food from fulling to the ground. A cover should be attached so that the fowls or sheep can not get at the contents of the box from the top. Comfort for Swine. A model sleeping room for swine may lie cheaply constructed by using heavy lumber nnd covering It with tnrred paper. The house should be set up from the ground the height of n brick laid fiat at each corner and the space be tween the corners filled lu with boards to keep out the wind. The floor should be of plonk or cement, nnd there should be some division between the portion where the animals are to sleep and tho clear space In the house. This division need be nothing more thnn nn eight Inch plank set on edge. Plenty of straw should bo used for bedding, nnd when It Is broken up so thnt It 'Is too tine for this purpose It mny be scattered orer tho tloor In the clear portion of tho house. Make the Cow Comfnrtntile. A cow Is n great deal like a person. Sho enjoys n good nnd comfortnblu placo to eat nnd sleep as well as any ninu. Do you think that you would en Joy standing out on tho south side of a barbed wire fence to eat your meaU when tho wind Is blowing ut the rato of forty or fifty miles nn hour from tho northwest In the winter? No, I guess uott Cuti you expect n cow to mako you money when served In that way? Then, summing up all of this, the cow must be nt perfect ease nnd comfort ably situated and havo kind trout incut In order to glvo good results. How .Much Grain. Tho amount of grain fed should vary with tho Individuality of tho cowb. says Prof. D. II. Otis. A cow giving thirty live to forty pounds of milk dally will need from twelve to fifteen pounds per day, while a cow giving fifteen to twenty pounds of milk will proliahly not need over six to olght poundo of grain. The nmount of grain Hhotild vnry with the yield or milk. C,iv tlio cows nil the grain they will coimumo ut n profit.
